His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1192:

She couldn’t stomach it any longer.

Holley was her mother, and she had to know how deeply Lucas mattered to Belinda.

And yet, fully aware of that, Holley had still conspired with Sarai to scheme against Lucas.

It was painfully obvious now that Holley didn’t care about her feelings at all.

If that was how little she cared, why should Belinda care about her?

She wasn’t worth the tears or the emotional drain anymore.

Bethany turned her gaze back to Belinda, studying her for a beat before saying, “Hey, what’s your take on what Darren mentioned earlier, about you, Baker, and Holley?”

After a pause, she added cautiously, “Do you think there’s a chance someone messed with the paternity results between you and Baker, or between you and Holley?”

Upon hearing the question, Belinda lowered her gaze, a flicker of hesitation crossing her features.

After a brief pause, she said, “Lucas intends to collect DNA samples from me, Holley, and Baker once more and send them to a different testing facility.”

She paused before adding, “But so far, he hasn’t been able to obtain a sample from Baker.”

Bethany blinked in surprise at this revelation, but after a moment, she nodded in understanding. “That’s a good step forward.”

Belinda turned to look at her. “Do you think there’s a possibility that I’m neither Baker’s nor even Holley’s biological daughter?”

Bethany pressed her lips together as if weighing her words carefully before she finally spoke. “It’s just… the way Holley and Baker treat you has always seemed strange to me. I mean, what kind of mother plots against her own child? And Baker… If he adores Holley as much as he does, why would he treat the daughter she gave him with such indifference? Look at the way he dotes on Kylee! But when it comes to you… It just doesn’t add up.”

Belinda remained silent, but turmoil swirled within her.

Not wanting to upset Belinda further, Bethany gently placed a piece of food onto her plate and offered a reassuring smile. “Don’t dwell on it for now. We’ll wait for the DNA results before jumping to conclusions.”

“Alright.” Belinda nodded, focusing on her meal without another word.

Midway through dinner, she excused herself to the restroom. On her way back to the private dining room, she unexpectedly crossed paths with a familiar face.

“Dr. Wright.” Devin’s eyes lit up with surprise, a fleeting spark of delight flashing through them.

“Mr. Davidson.” Belinda acknowledged him with a polite nod. “What a coincidence. Are you here for dinner as well?”
