Chapter 1747:
Once they stepped inside the packed conference room, Lucas and the female officer quietly retreated to the
side, blending seamlessly into the background, letting Belinda take the spotlight.
“Belinda!” The director of the city police bureau strode forward with purpose, seized Belinda’s right hand in a
firm, enthusiastic grip, and said with barely contained excitement, “Thank you for your monumental contribution
to our community's public safety!”
He then positioned himself before the microphone, announcing with authority, “Dear esteemed members of the
media, on the fifteenth of this month, a violent robbery occurred at the Mingo Jewelry Store. Following our
thorough investigation, the three suspects were positively identified as fugitives actively wanted. They are
connected to numerous robbery and homicide cases across multiple jurisdictions, with a combined bounty
totaling one million dollars!”
Belinda managed to maintain a calm expression when she heard that. The three dangerous criminals she had

It suddenly made complete sense why they had been so utterly ruthless, displaying such callous disregard for
human life and not even hesitating when her own daughter had shoved her toward those robbers, abandoning
her to a terrifying fate.
Yet Belinda, her husband's illegitimate daughter, had risked her life, not once, but twice, to pull her from danger.
The bitter irony of it all twisted in her heart.
Thinking of this, Carola couldn't help but let out a self-mocking laugh.
Her smile was tinged with sorrow as her eyes grew faintly red.
Belinda noticed it. “Hey, what's the matter?” she asked, her voice soft with worry.
Lucas shot Belinda a sidelong glance and murmured with cutting sarcasm, “Naturally, | went to ask him for the
surveillance footage. After all, who wouldn't want to witness your courageous actions?”

Belinda’s expression stiffened, caught off guard.
She let out a few nervous chuckles. “Uh, there's really no need for that.”
“Oh, but there IS. Absolutely.” Lucas spoke with quiet certainty. “Con, let's head back and watch it
together.”
With that, he started the engine and drove.
A sense of fear settled in Belinda’s chest.
If Lucas saw the footage and realized just how close she had cto real danger, his anger—and his worry—
would only deepen.
Lucas didn’t utter another word on the drive home.
Once they arrived hand stepped into the house, Lucas moved directly to his laptop and logged into his
email account.
Settling on the sofa, he gave Belinda a calm but firm gesture. “Chere. Let's watch it together.”
Left with no other choice, Belinda steadied herself and walked over to sit beside him.
As the footage began to play, the events of that harrowing day unfolded before Lucas’ eyes.
