NovelEnglishChapter 249:
Donovan had assumed that Belinda had concocted the story as an excuse. He believed she felt overlooked on
her birthday and didn’t want to deal with the hassle of organizing gifts and a cake for Gillian. However, it was
actually the truth.
The familial voices from the other end of the phone continued. With a sigh that carried the weight of weariness,
Belinda closed her eyes and said, “If you're questioning the truth of this, feel free to look up the latest reports
from Nawrin. It's been covered by multiple news outlets. I've divorced Kristopher and can’t afford lavish birthday
cakes or expensive gifts, so | won't be returning tomorrow for the birthday celebration.”
She was on the verge of ending the call when Donovan's uncertain voice stopped her. “Belinda, the reports
mentioned... you were left with nothing. Was that a misreport, or did you have them phrase it that way to show
that money doesn’t matter to you?”
“I truly ended up with nothing,” Belinda replied calmly. “Over these past three years, | haven't contributed
financially. Kristopher earned the money, and | don’t want to benefit without earning it.”
“How can you describe that as benefiting without doing anything?” Donovan retorted sharply. “You cared for

you assumed the role of the devoted wife, making sure he looked his best. Your efforts were undeniable.
Claiming a portion of his wealth seems only right!” He paused to catch his breath before continuing, “No, | refuse
to believe you walked away with nothing. You're probably scared we might demand sof that money! I'm
going to call Kristopher right now and ask him about...”
At the mention of contacting Kristopher, Belinda couldn’t hold back any longer. She grabbed her phone and said
with a firm tone, “I'd strongly suggest you reconsider calling Kristopher now. He's planning to propose to his
girlfriend tomorrow. If you wish to disturb him or sabotage his plans, go ahead and call him now to discuss the
divorce details.”
With that, she couldn't bear to hear any more from Donovan, so she hung up the phone and switched it off.
Silence enveloped the room immediately. She tossed her phone aside and headed for a shower.
Emerging later, she found her phone bombarded with over a dozen missed calls, all from Gillian. Alongside the
calls, Gillian had sent a flurry of messages.

“Belinda, | don’t think Cathy is the right match for Kristopher. How about we try to win him back together?”
“Let's both try to win him back, okay?” “You were with him for three years. Surely there's still a spark there. |
believe you might still have a chance to make things right.”
Belinda couldn’t suppress a chuckle as she read the messages. Though she’d only brought Kristopher to the
Nelson family a few times over the past three years, Gillian had always made a show of doting on him. Now her
motives were clear.
Belinda smirked and responded coldly to Gillian, “If you're interested in Kristopher, go ahead and chase him. But
leaveout of it.” No sooner had she sent the message than she received a reply from Gillian. “Really? Can |
really go after him?”
As Belinda read through Gillian’s ludicrous messages, she couldn't suppress a chuckle. She wondered whether
Gillian was overly self-assured or simply dismissive of Cathy. Despite this, she couldn't help but admire Gillian’s
audacity. With a playful smirk, she typed back with mock solemnity, “Of course, if you're into him, absolutely go
for it.”
After sending the message, Belinda spent stexploring various jewelry design websites and watching
videos that dissected the latest fashion trends. Before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.
