Chapter 1216 Chapter 1216: Belinda had a few bites of cake and a glass of champagne before quietly slipping out to the balcony to get sfresh air. She had only been there for a couple of minutes when the balcony doors opened behind her.
"Dr. Wright," a deep male voice called out.
Belinda turned to see who it was and nodded in greeting when she recognized the person. "Mr. Davidson. You're here as well?" "I chere specifically to see you," Devin said directly.

Belinda thought for a few seconds before nodding. "She has." Devin's expression darkened instantly. "What did she say to you?" He had suspected that Carmelita might go talk to Belinda, but he hadn't expected her to actually do it.
Belinda shrugged. "She beratedfor being nosy and toldto wait and see... something like that." Devin closed his eyes and let out a weary sigh. "I'm sorry," he said, sounding apologetic.
But Belinda wasn't bothered by the matter. "There's no need to apologize. It's all trivial to me. Carmelita already dislikedfrom the beginning anyway. I doubt that would change even if things happened differently. Besides, they're just words—nothing that can hurt me.” "Even if you say that, this is all my fault, and I should apologize," Devin said earnestly.
Belinda said nothing more on the matter.

When Belinda saw who emerged, her eyebrows twitched subtly, while Devin's expression instantly turned cold. The woman before them was Iliana, her eyes red as she approached Devin, pleading desperately, "Devin, I know I was wrong! I swear it won't happen again. Please, forgivethis time, okay?" Iliana hadn't foreseen the severe repercussions of her actions. The Davidson family had terminated all their collaborations with the Garza family, despite the significant losses this decision would cause them. They had even declared unequivocally that there would be no future collaborations between the two families.
This decision resulted in greater financial setbacks for the Garza family, whose projects predominantly depended on their partnership with the Davidson family.

Iliana was stunned by the Davidson family's harsh response. When her usually indulgent father heard what had happened, he slapped her and sternly warned her that she needed to mend the situation or she would no longer be welcat home.
Iliana was truly scared now. She was here to seek Devin's forgiveness in hopes of alleviating the consequences for her family.
