?<strong>Chapter 1211:</strong>


    Kylee couldn’te to terms with this revtion. She had always seen Holley as someone who prioritized her above all, entirely devoted. But now, she faced a harsh reality. Verena had mentioned the matter to her, but she didn’t know the full extent—just the basics. Since Kylee knew both Holley and Sarai, Verena had shared this information with Kylee, hoping to see if Sarai could be of use to them.


    “Kylee, please, don’t be upset. Let me exin,” Holley implored, seeing the hurt and disappointment in Kylee’s eyes.


    Kylee responded icily, “Go ahead. Exin.”


    Holley pressed her lips together for a moment and spoke earnestly. “Firstly, I thought after the HIV incident, your feelings for Lucas would turn to hatred. Secondly, Sarai had leverage over me; I was coerced intoplying with her.”


    “…Demands. Besides, if Sarai and Lucas became a couple, it would deeply hurt Belinda. Wouldn’t that benefit us?”


    Kylee’s expression subtly changed upon hearing these revtions. “Sarai had leverage over you? What was it?”


    A flicker of hesitation and internal conflict crossed Holley’s face.


    Kylee pressed further. “You promised not to lie. Or is this leverage just an excuse?”


    Holley quickly decided to be truthful. “Alright, I’ll tell you.” She detailed how Sarai had ckmailed her, exining the gravity of the threat.


    Kylee’s eyes widened in shock. “You mean Belinda’s weight gain and that severe birthmark on her cheek were both your doing?”


    “Yes,” Holley admitted, nodding solemnly.


    Kylee was momentarily speechless. She could understand why Holley might resent Belinda and take such drastic measures against her.


    But still…


    After a brief pause, Kylee turned to Holley with a serious expression. “Mom, I don’t understand. Belinda is Dad’s biological daughter. How could he just stand by and let you do this to her?”


    Holley let out a sneer, her smile dripping with sarcasm.


    Kylee was perplexed. She couldn’t understand Holley’s reaction. Holley looked at her daughter and said, “Well, it doesn’t matter if I tell you, but keep this between us.”


    “Okay,” Kylee nodded, unsure of where this conversation was heading.


    Holley continued, “Kylee, the truth is, Belinda isn’t your father’s daughter.”


    “She’s not Dad’s child?” Kylee was taken aback.


    Holley’s expression turned disdainful. “Exactly! She’s the result of Car’s affair with another man!”


    Kylee gasped, her hand flying to her mouth in shock.


    This waspletely unexpected. So… Belinda wasn’t Baker’s child after all?
