Chapter 1350:


    “Oh, really?” Lucas’ gaze grew even frostier as he stared at Timothy. His voice dropped, sharp and deliberate. “Should I address you as Timothy… or Lamont?”


    The mention of his true name hit Timothy like a thunderbolt, freezing him in ce.


    It took him a long moment to recover, after which he forced a strained smile. “Mr. rk, you’re joking, aren’t you? My name is Timothy. Lamont was a friend of mine, but he died years ago.”


    “Is that right?” Lucas raised an eyebrow, his gaze dripping with mockery as he studied Lamont. “You’ve gotten quitefortable living as Timothy, haven’t you? When you lie awake at night, do you ever spare a thought for the real Timothy, the man you let burn to death?”


    Lucas’ words sent a shiver down Lamont’s spine, cold sweat prickling along his back.


    For a moment, his carefully crafted facade nearly cracked.


    After a tense pause, he forced an innocent tone. “Mr. rk, I genuinely don’t know what you mean. I was devastated when Lamont died. But his death had nothing to do with me!”


    Lucas’ patience for Lamont’s charade had run dry. He nced at Gordon with a subtle nod.


    Gordon stepped forward, methodically recounting every piece of evidence their investigation had uncovered,ying out the truth point by point.


    As the details piled up, Lamont’s face grew increasingly strained, a flicker of something dark crossing his expression.


    He had gravely underestimated Lucas.


    How could he have overlooked who he was up against?


    With Lucas’ resources and resolve, uncovering the truth was easy for him.


    Lucas pinned Lamont with a frigid stare, his voice hard and unyielding.

    “Lamont, do you have anything left to say?”


    Lamont fell silent, his lips sealed for a long moment.


    To be honest, at this point, he was at a loss for words.


    Deny it? They had already unearthed every sordid detail of his history. Confess? Hecked the courage to do so, knowing full well the consequences that awaited him.


    So, he stayed silent.


    Lucas’ tone grew colder. “Lamont, I’ll give you onest chance. What’s your exact rtionship with Holley?”


    Lamont bit his lip hard, his face paling further.


    “Speak!” Lucas’ voice suddenly sharpened, cutting through the room like a de.


    Lamont’s entire body shuddered.


    Swallowing his fear, he said, “Fine, I’ll talk. I… I had leverage over Holley, so she had no choice but to do what I demanded.”


    Belinda, who had remained quiet until now, finally reacted.


    Her gaze snapped to Lamont as she asked, “What leverage?”


    Lamont darted a nervous nce between Belinda and Lucas before gritting his teeth. “It’s about… the hormone imbnce in your body as a child, Ms. Wright.”
