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

Chapter 694

Chapter 694:

Lucas asked, “Tell me, have you ever consideredmerely a substitute for him?” He was clearly anxious when

he asked that.

“A substitute?” Confusion clouded Belinda’s features. She blinked in astonishment, her stare incredulous. “What

are you talking about? Why would | ever regard you as a substitute for someone else?”

Lucas maintained his intense scrutiny, searching for any sign of deceit in Belinda’s expression.

Seeing her clear, unwavering eyes, Lucas sensed her sincerity. The tension in his chest eased, and a wave of

relief swept through him. The idea of being someone else’s substitute was unbearable. Thankfully, that wasn’t

the case...

With a blend of apprehension and hope, Lucas asked, “Then... Do you still harbor feelings for that man?”

Belinda’s gaze wavered slightly under his question. Meeting Lucas’s eyes firmly, she murmured with a faint

smile, “I still can’t shake him from my mind.”

Indeed, she couldn't erase the memories of the boy who had once entered her life like an angel.

Lucas’s expression darkened, his heart lurching into turmoil.

“I won't allow that!” he declared impulsively.

Belinda simply looked up, her eyes steady on his.

With a voice rough yet determined, Lucas said, “I won't let you cling to past affections. I'll make you forget him!”

Belinda couldn't quite describe how she felt right now.

Holley and her family were aware that there was someone she had always had feelings for, someone who had

inspired her self-improvement.

But none of them knew that person was Lucas.

Not even Lucas himself knew, probably because he had forgotten their past.

A group of thugs had cornered her and wanted to teach her a lesson.

She had reported a bully to the school authorities, resulting in the girl receiving a disciplinary warning.

In retaliation, the girl had sent her friends after her to teach her a lesson.

But things had quickly escalated into something much worse.

Despite her weight and the large birthmark on her face at the time, the thugs had wanted to sexually assault

her. They had dragged her into a dimly lit alley.

Her desperate screams had echoed off the walls, but no one had cto help her. With only a few basic self-

defence skills, she had been no match for the thugs. In her struggle, she had managed to bite one man’s ear

hard. The retaliation had been brutal. She had been slapped, thrown to the ground and kicked repeatedly until

she could no longer get up.

Then one of the men had stepped forward and begun to remove her clothes. She had fought as hard as she

could, but another man had pinned her arms down, leaving her defenceless.

At that moment, Belinda had really given up.
