?Chapter 1379:


    If anyone dared to treat her daughter like that, she would skin them alive!


    What Baker and Holley had done was unforgivable. Hadn’t Holley always cared about Belinda?


    And yet… She and Baker were the ones who had harmed Belinda.


    The very thought made Car’s blood boil.


    Her heart ached for Belinda, abandoned and betrayed by those who should have cherished her most.


    Baker’s face turned dark.


    He tried feebly to defend Holley, saying, “Holley had her reasons. She—”


    “Save your excuses!” Car snapped, her voice like a whip, cutting him off before he could finish. She believed no excuse in the world could ever justify what they had done.


    Disdain was painted all over Car’s face. “Holley had her reasons? You call those pathetic excuses valid reasons? As if anyone would buy that!”


    She let out a coldugh and continued, “What, is she jealous of her own child? Because her daughter is so beautiful and radiant, Holley, in her twisted mind, sought to ruin Belinda’s looks and make her gain weight? It makes sense now. She doesn’t want her daughter to be happy because her life is filled with unhappiness.” Car couldn’t think of any other usible exnation.


    Baker stiffened. He had to admit—Car had figured out part of the truth.


    “It’s not like that, Car,” he said, his eyes flickering. “Holley was—”


    Car raised her hand, cutting him off. “That’s enough. You don’t need to exin anything else. I don’t want to hear it. And I’m not helping you with this. Lucas is simply standing up for his girlfriend, and he has every right to do so. If anything, I admire him for it. If my daughter could be fortunate enough to find a partner like Lucas in the future, I would be very happy for her.”


    Baker’s face darkened.

    He ground his teeth in frustration before speaking again. “Look, Car. I know that Holley and I were wrong this time. Believe me, we have realized our mistakes. But things have spiraled out of control now. This is urgent! You are my wife; can you really just stand by and watch as mypany falls apart?”


    Carughed again, her eyes filled with scorn. “That’s yourpany. Why should I concern myself with it?”


    “You…” Baker sputtered, too furious to speak.


    Damn it! How could he forget about that one vital detail?


    All of their assets were kept separate, as stipted in the prenuptial agreement they had signed years ago.


    Car really had nothing to do with hispany.


    Baker looked at Car and tried to appeal to her emotions. “We’ve been married for so many years, Car. Doesn’t that count for something? Can you really just sit back and do nothing when I am in trouble?”
