His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 483:

“Also, after the divorce, it was Mr. Clark who remained attached to Dr. Wright! Mr. Clark even admitted it himself! How can Verena claim that Dr. Wright was the one clinging onto Mr. Clark? It’s totally illogical!”

“We were so naive to believe Verena’s accusations so quickly and question Dr. Wright just now.”

“Yet, Dr. Wright was fearless! She called Mr. Clark here to clear everything up, effectively silencing Verena.”noveldrama

“Her assurance was evident! Clearly, Verena was fabricating stories, and Mr. Clark unequivocally supported Dr. Wright.”

Everyone agreed with this sentiment. Since Belinda and the others had departed, the drama came to an end, and the crowd quickly started to scatter.

On the way back to Verena’s hospital room, Lucas remained silent, offering no words to her. Only when they were inside the room did Lucas confront her with a cold tone, saying, “What exactly did you say to Belinda earlier?”

Verena, caught off guard, instinctively responded, “I didn’t… I didn’t say anything.” Her initial reaction was to deny everything.

Lucas fixed a penetrating gaze on her, his eyes narrowing slightly. “If you tell me the truth, I think we can skip the step of me checking the surveillance footage. What do you think?” he said.

Verena’s expression shifted subtly, and she bit her lip hard. Cornered, she finally said, “I… I only asked Ms. Wright to stop pestering you.”

She hesitated for a moment and then lifted her gaze to Lucas, her eyes brimming with a mix of sorrow and hurt. “Lucas, I have been waiting for you for so many years. Now that you’ve finally got a divorce, you could marry me. But instead, you are saying you have developed feelings for Belinda and can no longer marry me! How can I just accept that? I know it must be because of something Belinda told you, which is why I felt compelled to plead with her to leave you alone.”

After hearing Verena’s confession, Lucas’ expression grew stern. He inhaled deeply, his look intense as he gazed at her. His voice was laden with emotion as he said, “Since the divorce, Belinda has never once approached me, much less pestered me! It has always been me who couldn’t let go of her.”

“I am the one who has been holding on to her!”

Verena had heard these words from Lucas before, yet she didn’t believe him. How could Lucas be the one obsessed with Belinda?

Before Verena could respond, Lucas spoke again. “I can’t get used to life without Belinda. I can’t stop thinking about her; I can’t stand her dating other men. It’s all me. Do you understand?”

His voice grew more intense with each word.

Disbelief and denial clouded Verena’s eyes, turning them red. She struggled to believe him and found it even harder to accept his words. Every word, every sentence, felt like a sharp dagger stabbing into her heart. The pain was overwhelming, and she couldn’t bear it. Tears streamed down her face without restraint.

Even when Lucas saw Verena’s distress, his expression remained unchanged. He spoke coldly, his teeth clenched, “Verena, this is your final warning—don’t seek out Belinda again. If you need to vent your frustration, come to me.”
