?<strong>Chapter 951:</strong>


    “You’re suggesting that someone inmed Macie’s hatred towards Minna on purpose to ensure she would act decisively against her?” Belinda asked.


    Lucas looked at Belinda with approval and nodded.


    “Exactly.” After a pause, he exined further, “The person pulling the strings might never have intended to genuinely support Minna. They were merely using her. Their rtionship was based on mutual exploitation, where trust was never an option. As long as Minna lived, she posed a potential threat of betrayal. Thus, silencing Minna permanently might have seemed like the only way to keep their secrets safe.”


    Belinda fell silent, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully as aplex expression crossed her face.


    The person behind this was not only cunning but also profoundly malevolent. Undoubtedly, a formidable adversary.


    Lucas met Belinda’s gaze, sensing her thoughts, and reassured her, “I’ll ensure your safety by continuing to provide protection discreetly, and I’ll ask Gordon to intensify our investigation into this matter. Nothing bad will happen to you.”


    Belinda lifted her gaze to Lucas, her expression unreadable. Ultimately, she said nothing, simply nodding in acknowledgment. The revtions regarding Minna and Macie weighed heavily on Belinda.


    After dinner, she drove to the airport to pick up her mentor and his wife.


    Around ten past eight, Belinda spotted them. She quickly called out their names with excitement.


    “Oh, Belinda,e here, I’ve missed you so much!” Jazmine Lyons immediately opened her arms and enveloped Belinda in a warm hug.


    “I’ve missed you, too!” Belinda replied.


    “Alright, alright, you’re not kids anymore, still hugging like this in public—aren’t you embarrassed?” teased Belinda’s mentor, Rowell Lyons.


    Jazmine turned and shot Rowell a sharp look.


    “Can’t you ever say anything nice?”


    “Jazmine is still young!” Belinda said with a smile.


    “Alright, alright. You’re right,” Rowell conceded.


    “You two must be tired. I’ll drive you back,” Belinda said as she took their suitcases from Rowell and led the way to the parking lot. Once they were settled in the car, Rowell broached a sensitive topic.


    “Belinda, Jazmine mentioned you and your husband are divorced now. What happened?”


    As Belinda started the car, she replied, “It wasn’t anything dramatic; we just weren’t right for each other. But my rtionship with him is a bitplicated now. I’ll exin more another time.”


    Rowell continued, “What about your parents? Has your rtionship with them improved?”
