NovelEnglishChapter 157:
As he considered the plan, his mood soured. This wasn’t meant to unfold this way. Why did Belinda feel
compelled to share those posts online?
“Divorce...” Cathy sighed deeply and bowed her head.
Unseen by Kristopher, her eyes twinkled with smug satisfaction. Reflecting on Kristopher’s recent behavior
towards Belinda, she realized that had today’s events not occurred, their divorce might have dragged on
indefinitely. She silently thanked the foolish person who snapped that photo!
Once Belinda left the hospital, she immediately dialed Darren’s number, only to find his phone switched off.
“I can’t reach Darren either,” she admitted.
At the hospital's entrance, Madisyn arrived to pick her up. “What happened? Is he gone?”
“Perhaps he’s avoiding dealing with his actions,” Belinda speculated, looking at Madisyn intently. “Do you know
where he lives?”
After a brief pause, Madisyn exhaled and replied, “He lives in your neighborhood. He even helped you find your
current apartment.”
Belinda was caught off guard for a moment. “My apartment... was suggested by Darren?”
“Yes,” Madisyn admitted with a hint of guilt as she drove. “When | was searching for a place for you, Darren
mentioned it might be good if you lived near him so you could support each other. Back then, | was still hoping to

Belinda massaged her temples, clearly frustrated. “Why didn’t you tellthis before?” Had she not asked
Madisyn about Darren earlier that day, she would have remained unaware of the unintended favor she owed to
Darren.
“He didn’t think it was necessary,” Madisyn explained, then swiftly shifted the topic. “Remember when you lost
the baby and cto Rozand to find me? | suggested that the best way to retaliate against Kristopher and
Cathy was to make your marriage certificate public. You declined, not wanting to implicate the Cox family or
Anthony. Yet, who would've imagined that this morning, after Cathy's fans posted your video online and branded
you a hwrecker, someone would step up to defend you in a way | couldn't?” Madisyn’s tone was mixed with
relief and a sense of vindication as she continued, “It was so gratifying to see Cathy getting criticized online this
afternoon!” At a red light, she looked over at Belinda. “Who do you think was behind posting those photos and
messages today?”
Belinda glanced at her phone, flicking through her messages. Her eyebrows lifted slightly. “You don’t really think
I did it, do you?”

“Of course not,” Madisyn replied, shaking her head. “Others might not see the real you, but | do. If you were
really capable of something like this, you wouldn't have allowed Kristopher to drag out the divorce for so long.
And you're too caring. Anthony has always been good to you. You wouldn't stand to see the Cox Group hurt
because of your actions.”
Madisyn’s insight was precise, yet a tear threatened to escape Belinda’s eye. First, it was Anthony, and now it
was Madisyn. Everyone close to her trusted her inherently, except Kristopher. The image of Kristopher’s hands
around her neck flashed in her mind, and she exhaled a weary sigh. That man simply didn’t trust her.
As these thoughts swirled in her head, Madisyn’s red Maserati pulled up in front of Darren’s apartment building.
Belinda swung the car door open and stepped out, her eyes immediately drawn to the familiar sight of her own
rented apartment. It dawned on her just then how surprisingly close she was to Darren’s place.
