His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 525:

She couldn’t fathom how she had raised her daughter to act in such a way.

Baker stood up, his expression dark, and then exited the room.

At a secluded house outside the city,

This house was Baker’s private retreat.

He often came here for personal matters.

“What did you say?” Holley’s face was a mask of disbelief as she processed Baker’s words. “Lucas has gone too far! How can he make such demands? And Belinda—she hasn’t lost anything. Why couldn’t she just let go of this matter? We must find a way to solve this, or what should Kylee do?”

Holley paced frantically, her voice laden with blame towards Belinda and Lucas, and fraught with concern for Kylee.

Baker’s frown deepened. “Enough! What can we possibly do under these circumstances? Do you have any idea how to sway Lucas?”

“I’ll go talk to Belinda!” Holley declared.

“Talk to Belinda?” Baker scoffed derisively. “Do you really think she’ll listen to you now? She is no longer under our control!”

Holley fell silent, her lips quivering.

Baker inhaled sharply. “Stop interfering. Remember the artichoke incident? Kylee nearly discovered the truth because of that. If not for the fact that she unknowingly chose a lab I invested in, the consequences would have been catastrophic.”

Holley’s face changed slightly.

She hadn’t realized Kylee was so astute.

Belinda and Carola both had artichoke allergies, prompting Kylee to secretly gather their blood samples for a paternity test.

Fortunately, the lab technician had alerted Baker in time, and they had been able to manipulate the results.

Otherwise…

Belinda’s real identity was bound to come to light then.

Holley, her face twisted in anger, demanded, “But are we just going to stand by and do nothing? Are we really going to watch Kylee slap herself and apologize to Belinda?”

“What choice do we have? With Mr. Clark supporting Belinda, our hands are tied!” Baker replied, his frustration matching Holley’s.

Holley fell silent, her eyes gleaming with steely resolve.

This matter couldn’t just end like this!

Her daughter should not have to suffer such humiliation without some form of retribution.

She was determined to make Belinda pay dearly.

After leaving the house, Holley headed back to Vera Villas.

She entered her home to find the vast living room deserted.
