Chapter 221:
“Don’t touch me!”
Before Belinda could get close, Cathy recoiled in alarm and sought refuge in Kristopher’'s embrace. “Stay away
from me!”
After she spoke, she lifted her tear-filled eyes to Kristopher and pleaded, “Kristopher, | don’t want her to touch
the necklace... Can you do it? She has already hurtonce.”
“Okay.”
As Kristopher gently removed the necklace from Cathy, he glanced at the woman with short hair and felt she
looked increasingly familiar. Once he had removed the necklace, he examined the small tag on it and raised his
eyebrows. “Are you with Wildfield Design Studio?”
Belinda paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yes.”

She subtly urged Kristopher to hand back the necklace quickly.
Observing the woman with short hair who covered her face thoroughly, Kristopher felt a growing sense of
familiarity.
She hadn’t spoken before, but something about her seemed known. Now, hearing her speak, though her voice
was unrecognizable, her tone...
It reminded him of Belinda.
Furthermore, her slim build and the clarity of her eyes were just like Belinda’s...
Suddenly, he was struck by the illusion that the woman before him was indeed Belinda.
But that seemed impossible.
Ever since he'd known Belinda, she had long hair.
