NovelEnglishChapter 83:
Baker's voice shook with anger. “I wanted to teach Belinda a lesson right then, but Lucas intervened and
defended her, preventingfrom taking any action. However, | believe this matter cannot be overlooked. I'm
here to inform you about this, hoping that you and Mrs. Clark will correct Belinda’s behavior. Without proper
discipline, her behavior is likely to get even worse.”
Harold focused on a significant detail—Lucas had defended Belinda.
Norma, visibly shocked, found the matter hard to believe. “Did Belinda really do such a thing?”
Baker replied, “Lucas witnessed it all. If you have doubts, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, you can ask him directly.”
Harold studied Baker, his expression unchanging. “So, you chere today solely to tell us about this matter
and seek discipline for Belinda?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter a pause, he asked, “There's no other reason for your visit?”
Harold's question left Baker momentarily speechless before he dismissed it with a shake of his head. “No, there
is no other reason for my visit this time. | simply wanted to update you on the situation.”
Harold smiled and then leaned over to whisper something to Norma.
Norma appeared concerned after hearing Harold's words. “Are you really sure about doing this?”
Harold gave a firm nod and said, “Go ahead and do that.” Norma then stood up and ascended the stairs.

Moments later, she returned to the living room, extending a piece of paper to Baker. “Here, take this.”
Confused, Baker looked down at the paper, his shock evident. The paper was a check for five hundred thousand
dollars!
Staring up at Harold and Norma, bewildered, he stammered, “Mr. and Mrs. Clark, what is this about?”
Harold's chuckle filled the room. “It’s to cover Kylee’s medical bills, and the extra is compensation for what
happened. | hope it’s enough.”
Baker, thinking there was a misunderstanding, hurriedly clarified, “Mr. Clark, this isn’t why we chere today.
We're not seeking any financial compensation!”
“Please, Mr. Clark, we didn’t mean to imply that at all.” Kylee, who had remained quiet earlier, finally spoke up.
Baker nodded and continued, “Exactly, Mr. Clark. Our visit was to discuss Belinda’s actions, not to ask for money
from you. We refuse to accept the check.”
Harold listened and then laughed softly. “And why would | scold my daughter-in-law for you? I'm well aware of
her character.”
“She is incapable of the actions you mentioned.”
Baker and Kylee exchanged a look, and then Baker said, “But Mr. Clark, everything I've told you is true! If you

Harold's smile turned sardonic. “Even if what you said is true, so what? | believe it must have been Kylee who
caused trouble for Belinda first. If you think this amount isn’t sufficient, just tell me.”
The smiles vanished from Baker's and Kylee’s faces as they grappled with Harold's response. Harold's fierce
defense of Belinda caught both Baker and Kylee off guard. They had not expected Harold to be so unreasonable
in his defense of Belinda.
