?Chapter 1264:


    With a slight pout, she relented.


    “Fine, you can take over,” she said.


    Lucas’s lips curved into an eager grin as he wrapped his arms around her waist with fervor. In one swift motion, he rolled them over, securing her beneath him. Now inmand, he wasted no time quickening the pace.


    Belinda’s fingers settled on his shoulders, tightening slightly as she surrendered to the fervor of the moment.


    Soon, she found herself swept up in the heat of their shared rhythm, lost in the passion…


    In an elegant manor nestled in Soling,


    This was the residence of the Wright family, one of the most influential families in Soling.


    “Zaria, how did your conversation with Darwin go?” Tamara Wright, Zaria’s grandmother, asked, her voice tinged with concern.


    Zaria’s mood darkened. “Don’t even bring it up, Grandma. You won’t believe what I learned today—Darwin’s heart is set on someone else!”


    “Someone else? Who?” Tamara asked.


    Zaria’s lips tightened briefly. “It’s almost uncanny. The woman Darwin is interested in shares ourst name. Her name is Belinda Wright. Her father runs the Wright Group in Owathe.”


    “The Wright Group in Owathe?” Tamara’s expression shifted subtly at the mention.


    That was Car’s husband’spany.


    Your next favorite is on g?lnσν????s．??o??


    The mere thought of Car caused Tamara’s brows to crease, a sharp, scornful glint flickering in her gaze.


    “But Belinda’s nothing more than an illegitimate daughter. She is the product of her father and his first love,” Zaria said, her voiceced with disdain as a sneer curled her lips.


    At this, Tamara let out a curt, mockingugh.


    So, Belinda was the child of Baker and that woman from his past.


    With an air of detachment, Tamara shrugged. “The child of an affair—what’s there to worry about? You are the daughter of the Wright family. She is nothingpared to you.”


    Zaria chuckled briefly before saying, “Don’t brush her off so easily, Grandma. Guess what? She used to be Lucas’s wife.”


    Tamara’s eyes widened in surprise. “Lucas? You mean Lucas rk, the CEO of Triumph Consortium?”


    “Precisely,” Zaria replied with a nod. “That’s what makes this woman remarkable. She somehow managed to marry Lucas before.”


    After a pause, she continued, “They’re divorced now, but they are still close. There was this other woman, Minna, who had a thing for Darwin. When she pieced together his feelings for Belinda, she turned vicious and schemed against Belinda. It didn’t end well—Minna’s family crumbled, she’s dead, and theirpany got devoured bypetitors.”
