Chapter 1250:


    If not for Verena’s machinations, Kylee’s animosity toward Belinda wouldn’t have escted to such levels. Luckily, Belinda had remained fine.


    Otherwise, no punishment for Verena would be enough.


    As for Kylee, she had been used as a pawn.


    Lucas then turned to Vincent and said, “Vincent, from this point forward, Ryan and I can no longer be friends. This is my personal decision. You are free to maintain your friendship with him if you want. However, you must keep anything concerning Belinda or me from him. If not, don’t me me if I do something to you.”


    His voice had a trace of coldness.


    Vincent’s expression changed, and he quickly responded, “I understand. Don’t worry; I won’t.”


    At that moment, he felt deeply disappointed in Ryan.


    “So, Lucas, how did you finally deal with Verena?” Johnson inquired.


    “I sent her to a ce that is like hell for her. She’ll spend the rest of her life there,” Lucas answered vaguely.


    It was best to keep the details secret to avoidplications.


    “Serves her right!” Bethany eximed angrily. “She deserves to suffer for the rest of her life!”


    Frowning, Johnson asked further, “But there’s something I don’t get. If Verena was behind all this, why didn’t you discover it sooner, Lucas?”


    Johnson wasn’t doubting Lucas’spetence; he was merely puzzled. Given Lucas’s team’s expertise, it seemed unlikely they wouldn’t have found out the truth sooner.


    Lucas’s eyes narrowed as he replied calmly, “That’s also something I don’t understand. So, I believe there’s someone else behind Verena. And this person’s influence is not to be underestimated.”


    “Any idea who it might be?” Johnson turned to Lucas with a furrowed brow. “Lucas, do you suspect someone in particr?”


    Lucas shook his head slowly, a heavy seriousness settling over his features. “No. Whoever it is might harbor a grudge against Belinda, or perhaps they are simply in love with Verena and willing to carry out her everymand.”


    Vincent leaned forward slightly. “Since they were able to erase their tracks so thoroughly, leaving no clue behind, they must be incredibly capable.”


    The mention of this mysterious figure cast a heavy silence over the private dining room, tension thick in the air.


    “Oh, by the way!” Bethany suddenly said, her eyes lighting up. “Lucas, didn’t you have the DNA tests done again? You used samples from Belinda, Baker, and Holley, right? The results should be in by now—what did they say?”


    At that, Belinda and Lucas exchanged a silent, knowing nce.


    After a brief pause, Belinda responded, “Yes, I have received the results. Baker and Holley… They really are my biological parents.”
