His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 385

Chapter 385:

Heads turned toward the source—a maid standing nervously near the corner of the second-floor staircase. “I-I

saw Miss Wright push Miss Reed!” she continued.

“You're lying!” Belinda snapped, her voice sharp with anger.

The maid flinched, her face pale as she swallowed hard. “I... | swear! | really saw it!”

Belinda didn’t waste targuing with the maid.

Her focus shifted to Lucas.

She needed to see his reaction, to understand what he believed.

But when her gaze met his cold, steely eyes, her heart sank.

The anger in his expression...

Did he believe what Verena had just said?

“This is ridiculous!” Just then, a sharp, commanding voice cut through the tension.

The crowd parted as Mollie and Darren stepped forward, their presence imposing.

“Belinda would never push anyone down the stairs,” Mollie declared, her tone icy as her eyes narrowed on the

maid. “Now, tell me, who told you to accuse Belinda without proof?”

The maid quickly shook her head and said in a low voice, “I'm not lying! | really saw it! | have no reason to lie!”

Without a word, Lucas lifted Verena into his arms and turned to leave.

“Lucas!” Belinda called out to him.

Lucas paused in his tracks.

“Please believe me... | really didn’t push her!” Belinda’s voice was urgent.

Lucas turned slightly, his expression unreadable as he looked back at her.

He remained silent, his gaze deep and unreadable.

Eventually, he turned away, holding Verena, and walked decisively toward the exit.

Belinda’s face went pale, and she staggered slightly, almost losing her balance.

From Lucas’ cold gaze, it was clear—he didn’t trust her.

He had chosen to believe Verena again.

Once more, he had chosen Verena over her.

Reflecting on the situation, Belinda let out a soft laugh.

Yet, that laugh was tinged with profound bitterness.

“Lucas!” Harold called out sternly.

But Lucas’ steps did not falter.

And so, Lucas, Verena, and Ryan left the banquet hall.

“Do you think Belinda really pushed Verena?”

“Of course! Didn't the Clark family maid say she saw it with her own eyes?”
