NovelEnglishChapter 1340: The tires screeched as Lucas abruptly slammed on the brakes, jolting the car to a sudden stop.
The force of the halt hurled Faye forward before her seatbelt snapped her back. She winced in pain from the sudden motion.

Her teasing demeanor faltered, and her lips curled into a subtle pout. "Okay, okay, I hear you. Don't be mad; I was just joking. I mean, I used to say things like that all the twhen I was little, and you never got mad before." There was a faint trace of grievance in her voice now.
Lucas' voice dropped lower. "That was different. Back then, you were just a kid, saying silly things no one took seriously. But you're not a child anymore, Faye. If you say something like that now, how will people think of our Clark family?" Faye let out a soft sigh, puffing her cheeks before mumbling, "Fine, fine... I get it. It's because you're in a relationship now, right? I can't joke about things like that anymore. Don't worry. I won't say anything like that in front of Belinda, I promise." Lucas gave her a long, pointed look. "You shouldn't say that kind of thing in any situation, regardless of who's around." There was no mistaking the warning laced in his voice.
"I understand now!" Faye replied quickly, nodding in earnest. Only then did Lucas, still wearing a stern expression, start the car again and drive off.
Belinda accompanied Kenia back to her room.
"That girl," Kenia said as she lowered herself gently into an armchair, "she's Lucas' niece, isn't she?" "Yes, that's right," Belinda replied. "Why do you ask?" "Oh, nothing in particular," Kenia said lightly, though her eyes glimmered with thought.

Lucas' second sister got married and moved to Soling years ago, so her family mostly stayed there. And Faye was studying in Chixdon for college, so we barely crossed paths. We never had many opportunities to interact." Then, with a reflective look, she added softly, "But she has always been polite with me. She never treatedlike I wasn't good enough for Lucas.” Kenia nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
Belinda looked at her with a confused expression. “Grandma, what's wrong? Is there something about Faye that bothers you?" Kenia waved a hand dismissively. "It's nothing specific... I just don't have the best feeling about her." A complicated expression flashed across Belinda's face.
She couldn't deny it-deep down, she felt the same.
Kenia broke the silence again, her tone shifting. "Let's not dwell on that. Belinda, I want to ask you something important. And I need you to be completely honest with me."
