?<strong>Chapter 846:</strong>


    Mollie’s expression shifted instantly to one of greater discontent, her brow furrowing deeply.


    “Why didn’t you inform us about something this significant?”


    “Indeed, Belinda! How could you withhold such vital information from us?” Darren, who stood beside Mollie, also frowned, his disappointment evident.


    Belinda pressed her lips together in contemtion before saying, “I thought that since I wasn’t harmed in any way, it would be better not to burden you with this knowledge. I didn’t want you to worry about me unnecessarily.”


    With a stern expression, Mollie slightly elevated her voice.


    “Is that truly the sole reason?”


    Belinda cast her gaze downward, feeling a twinge of unease.


    “I simply didn’t want to create any moreplications for you. Since my return, I’ve umted many adversaries. You’ve been supporting me through it all, and for that, I’m genuinely grateful and deeply touched.”


    Her voice softened as she continued, “The protection I’ve received from you is something I’ve never experienced from my biological parents. But I truly don’t want to impose on you further—especially since this concerns Minna and the Williamson family. They are one of the top eight families in our society; they’re not easy to contend with.” At this juncture, Belinda ceased holding back and candidly shared her thoughts.

    Yet after hearing her out, Mollie became even more infuriated.


    “You silly girl! From the moment we met, we’ve shared so much time togetherughter and tears—and believed you regarded us as your family. But now it seems it was merely my wishful thinking!”


    Belinda’s eyes widened slightly as she quickly responded, desperationcing her tone, “No, Mollie! To me, you, Santino, and Darren are indeed my family!”


    Mollie gazed at Belinda with a pained expression that seemed to pierce through Belinda’s heart.


    “If you truly view us as family, do you think a family would worry about causing trouble for one another? You’ve shattered my heart with your actions! Don’t you recall what you promised mest time? Have youpletely forgotten it?”


    Belinda rapidly bit her lip in regret.


    “I’m so sorry, Mollie. This is entirely my fault.”


    “I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Mollie dered firmly.


    “Darren, let’s go!” With that, Mollie turned on her heel and exited the room.


    “Mollie, please don’t be upset! It’s all my fault! I promise I won’t repeat this mistake!” Belinda called out desperately as she hurried after Mollie.


    But Mollie disregarded herpletely, not sparing her a single nce.


    “Alright, Belinda, don’t chase after her,” Darren said gently but firmly as he reached out to stop Belinda.


    “She’s upset at the moment; allow her some time to cool off first. Once she calms down, you can apologize to her. After she has collected herself, I’ll message you so that you can talk to her then.”
