“It was just an accident this time,” Belinda replied. Considering her abilities, it was hard to understand how that
woman could have managed to hurt her.
“Accidents like this shouldn't happen, either,” Lucas said, his frown deepening, concern evident in his eyes. His
voice was low and firm as he added, “It painsto see you get hurt.”
Belinda found herself speechless at his reaction. Her gaze lowered, and she gently bit her lip, choosing to remain
silent. Lucas’ eyes stayed on her, his gaze lingering in quiet contemplation.

In the private dining room of a restaurant, Catherine arrived. When Catherine saw Leland, grievously bruised and
scarcely recognizable, and the woman beside him shivering in fear, her eyebrows knitted together instantly. Her
attention briefly paused on them before shifting to Johnson, who sat on the sofa, his expression somber and his
hands showing signs of injury.
Catherine quickly walked over to Johnson, worry evident in her eyes. “Johnson, are your hands okay?”
Her inquiry prompted a noticeable shift in the room’s atmosphere. It was evident that Leland was in a worse
state, and he was Catherine’s boyfriend. Yet, Catherine had overlooked his condition.
Bethany experienced a swell of gratification and joy for Johnson. His longstanding care for his sister had certainly
paid off.

“I'm alright,” Johnson said, the intensity in his gaze melting when he looked at Catherine. His voice was low and
raspy as he spoke.
Catherine then directed her attention to Leland, a cold smile forming on her lips as she said, “I'd like to hear your
explanation first.”
Seeing Catherine's expression, Leland immediately knew she was angry. He quickly said, “Hailee was drunk. Her
friends wouldn't let her leave, so she calledfor help. | just cto pick her up, that’s all.”

He hesitated, his words faltering before he continued, “But you know how Hailee gets when she’s drunk. She
becomes a little... out of control. She likes to touch people. So when Johnson saw us, he misunderstood the
situation, and then...”
Catherine's gaze shifted to Hailee Davies, who looked pale and uneasy. “She looks sober to me,” she said coldly.
Hailee quickly fired back, “I was sobered up because | got beaten. A woman grabbed my hair and slapped me!”
“You deserved it!” Bethany snapped. “Don’t you know Leland has a girlfriend? And yet you still had the nerve to
cling to him? And Leland, you already have Catherine, but you acted all cozy with someone else. What did you
expect to happen?”
Catherine said nothing, her cold eyes fixed on Leland. Her delicate face betrayed no emotion, but the tension in
the air was palpable. She was furious, and everyone knew it.
