?<strong>Chapter 841:</strong>


    Upon hearing this, Lucas scoffed.


    “Howmendably loyal of her,” he remarked in a mocking tone.


    Belinda continued with a serious tone, “She also inquired about Macie—wondering if Macie had betrayed her by allying with you. Judging by her reaction during our conversation…”


    Conversation, it seems that the message she sent Macie previously was indeed intended as a test of loyalty.” Belinda paused, her expression growing somber, her gaze dropping momentarily before meeting Lucas’ again.


    “She also told me that the scheme to let me have sex with Moshe at the party was entirely Macie’s idea. Not only that, but it was also Macie who advised her to ask Morse to drug me.”


    When Lucas heard this, his face turned cold in an instant.


    Lucas’ chiseled, attractive visage was clouded with a stormy expression.


    “I’ll get to the bottom of this! If these two urrences truly rte to Macie…” Lucas halted, allowing his words to linger in the thick silence. But his piercing, unyielding gaze conveyed everything left unsaid, the weight of his resolve unmistakable.


    Belinda chose not to say anything.


    After a pause, she lifted her eyes to meet Lucas’ and spoke with heartfelt sincerity.


    “Lucas, this time, I owe you my deepest thanks. If it hadn’t been for your intervention, I might have—”


    “I will never let that happen,” Lucas interjected with a tone that brooked no argument.


    Locking eyes with Belinda intently, he said resolutely, “As long as I’m around, nothing bad will happen to you. I won’t allow it.”


    Belinda’s lips parted slightly, but ultimately, she didn’t say anything.


    She believed him.


    She knew he would protect her no matter what.


    “By the way, how did you happen to be there yesterday?” Belinda suddenly recalled something and asked, her voiceced with curiosity.


    Lucas exined with a calm demeanor, “I went to the hospital to find you and saw you exiting. So, I followed you in my vehicle. When I noticed that elderly woman troubling you, I parked the car and walked over to check on you. As soon as I parked, I spotted Minna among the throng, and that’s when I knew something was wrong.”


    Belinda nodded slowly, lowering her eyes as she murmured sincerely, “Thank you…”


    Her gratitude was encapsted in those two simple yet profoundly meaningful words. The weight behind them carried the emotions she couldn’t fully articte.


    Even now, the memory of that day still sent a faint shiver of unease through her. The fear she had felt lingered like a shadow in her mind.


    Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly, a teasing lilt dancing in his voice.
