Chapter 81

Chapter 81:

Kylee’s scream reverberated through the dining room, sharp and piercing. “Belinda, have you lost your mind?”

“Belinda, what are you doing?”

The room froze, everyone stunned by the abruptness of Belinda’s action. Even Lucas’ eyes widened in shock at

the scene unfolding before him. But within seconds, his surprise softened into a composed curiosity, his

eyebrows arched slightly.

Belinda set the bowl down slowly, her gaze coldly sweeping over to Kylee, who cradled her hand in agony. With a

dismissive scoff, she said, “Since everyone is so convinced | burned Kylee’s hand on purpose earlier, | thought I'd

not let your accusations be in vain. Now, | really did it intentionally. Happy to own up to that now.”

Kylee stared at Belinda, her expression contorting with pain and shock. She was furious, unable to comprehend

Belinda’s audacity. She was in disbelief over what had just transpired. How could Belinda have dared to do that

to her? Had Belinda lost her mind? And right in front of Lucas, no less? Wasn't Belinda concerned that Lucas

might see her as cruel and arrogant?

“You lunatic!” Baker exclaimed, his face contorted with rage as he advanced towards Belinda. “I'm going to

teach you a lesson right now!” As he spoke, he lifted his hand in a threatening gesture, about to hit Belinda.

Belinda’s eyes turned cold. She was ready to raise her hand to block Baker's move.

“Mr. Wright.” Lucas suddenly spoke up, his voice low and steady, carrying a hint of an implicit threat. He locked

eyes with Baker, his lips curling into a faint, chilling smile. “Have you considered the consequences of what

you're about to do?”

The words hit Baker like a hard blow, halting him mid-motion. His body tensed up, and he seemed momentarily

paralyzed, the gravity of Lucas’s question sinking in. After a tense pause, he reluctantly withdrew his hand, his

anger simmering into a reluctant, defeated glare.

Kylee’s eyes welled up with disbelief and pain as she stared at Lucas. She could not believe that he had sided

with Belinda under such circumstances. In the past, such behavior from him would have been unimaginable.

Could it be that Lucas had fallen under Belinda’s spell now?

Even Belinda was shocked. She had not expected Lucas to defend her. Regaining her composure, she said with a

calm tone, “It seems there is no point in continuing this dinner.” Turning to Lucas, she said, “Let's leave now.”

Lucas silently agreed, standing up and exiting the Wright family hwith Belinda. Once in the car, Belinda felt

that her emotions were still turbulent. After a few seconds, she turned to Lucas, her words trailing off. “Just

now...”

Lucas cut her off sharply, “I didn’t do it for you.” Starting the engine, he added in a low, raspy voice, “You're still

my wife now, Belinda. Any harm coming to you reflects poorly on the Clark family.”

Belinda’s intended thanks were stuck in her throat. Turning away, a mocking smile touched her lips, her voice

laced with irony. “I was about to say that even if you hadn't intervened, | could have managed the situation on

my own.”
