Belinda then turned to Verena with a slight smile.
Panic surged through Verena’s veins. She bit her lip in frustration and said, “Stop dragging this out! Lucas is

“Whether or not I'm deceiving everyone, you'll find out soon enough,” Belinda replied in a calm voice. “But it

When Lucas appeared, a stunned silence fell over the corridor, and heads turned in mutual astonishment. No one
had anticipated that a mere call from Belinda would bring Lucas here so swiftly. His quick arrival took everyone
by surprise.

Department and took in the assembled crowd, with Belinda and Verena at the center, his brow furrowed in
concern. Approaching Belinda, Lucas inquired in a low, urgent tone, “What's going on here?”

Lucas had ended his relationship with Verena to protect her, and he had been open about it then.

sense of humiliation. She had been utterly unprepared for how effortlessly Lucas had revealed everything,
showing no hesitation or concern about how it might tarnish her image in front of others.
