?<strong>Chapter 1213:</strong>


    “I see,” Kylee replied, piecing everything together.


    She was hearing this for the first time. She pondered what might have happened if Belinda had never gone abroad. Belinda would not have lost weight, and the disfiguring mark would still mar her face. Her rtionship with Lucas might never have blossomed. That face of hers had indeed been horrific. Yet, reflecting on these possibilities now seemed pointless.


    Shifting her focus, Kylee thought of something important. She turned to Holley and inquired, “Mom, what if I coborate with Sarai to deal with Belinda? Do you think Sarai would be on board?”


    “Sarai?” Holley’s frown deepened upon hearing the name.


    “Yes.” Kylee nodded, then exined, “She has feelings for Lucas and would likely want to separate him from Belinda. Plus, Belinda expelled her from Owathe; she must resent her. If I suggest an alliance, she might agree.”


    However, Holley shook her head solemnly. “Don’t act rashly. Sarai may desire Mr. rk, but that doesn’t guarantee she’ll coborate with you. She’s currently stranded in Soling and eager to return to Owathe. If you approach her hastily, she might reject your offer and even warn Belinda to regain her favor. It could backfire.”


    Kylee considered her mother’s words carefully. The risks were real. Coborating with Sarai seemed too perilous.


    “I understand,” Kylee said, abandoning the idea.


    Two days passed in the blink of an eye.


    That evening, it was the birthday banquet of the daughter of the Alvarado family. Guests gathered at the Alvarado residence, eagerly mingling.

    With a click, the door swung open. A man and a woman entered together.


    The man, tall and slender, was dressed in a sharply tailored ck suit that subtly shimmered under the lights, showcasing his exquisite taste. He was strikingly handsome, with defined features that exuded an air of nobility and authority.


    The woman holding his arm was stunningly beautiful. Her face was a perfect work of art, and her eyes radiated a captivating allure. She was dressed in a long, gradient deep-blue gown that clung to her form, emphasizing her elegant curves.


    These two were none other than Belinda and Lucas.


    As soon as Belinda and Lucas entered, they captured nearly everyone’s gaze.


    This was not only because of their striking appearance—Lucas, a handsome man, and Belinda, a stunning woman—but also due to their identities. For the first time in years, the crowd saw them at a banquet together. Even during their marriage, joint appearances at events had been rare. Now, their rtionship seemed to have deepened significantly.


    “Regardless of everything else, Belinda and Mr. rk look like they’re meant for each other just by their looks!” one person whispered.


    “Indeed! This is their first public appearance together at such an event after all these years!” another added.
