Baker was silent for a moment, then said in a calm tone, "I know." "Here's what I want you to say to him..." He leaned in and carefully laid out a strategy for Holley to follow. After listening to his words, Holley frowned slightly.
"Do you really think this will work?" "We don't have any other option left," Baker replied calmly. "It's our best shot." Holley nodded slowly. "Alright. I'll do as you said." When Belinda returned hthat evening, Lucas had already finished dinner and was in his study, immersed in work.
After knocking gently on the door of the study, she pushed it open and stepped inside.
As soon as Lucas saw her, his lips curved into a smile.
"You're back?" he asked, his voice low and slightly hoarse.
"Yes." Belinda nodded, a warm smile gracing her lips as she walked over and slid naturally into his embrace.
Lucas welcomed her with an arm around her waist.
Fakes are everywhere - "So, how did it go? Is everything resolved?" he asked, his tone soft yet curious.
Belinda nodded again. "Gillian's situation has been handled. As for Niko... Johnson hasn't revealed how he intends to deal with him yet, but I doubt it'll end well for him." She then summarized Gillian's situation in a few concise words. Lucas gave a small nod and asked no further questions about the matter.
He tightened his hold around her waist and looked at her with a feigned look of grievance in his eyes.

"So now that Catherine's problem is sorted out, does that mean can get e your full attention?" Belinda couldn't help but laugh at his sulking tone.
She reached out and playfully pinched his cheek.
"Why are you acting like such a grump? I've spent a lot of twith you. Besides, you've been pretty busy yourself lately." Lucas' grin deepened, his gaze gleaming.
"But I think you've been neglectingthese past few days. So tell me, days.. So tell me, how do you plan to make it up to me?"
