<h4>Chapter 1576: Chapter 1576: A Harsh p in the Face</h4>
Fenton Stuart was pushed away, his head hit the back of the sofa, causing him to feel quite ufortable. Instinctively, he raised his head, held the back of his head, and then blurredly opened his eyelids. To Belinda Howard, at this moment, he lookedpletely awake.
After pushing Fenton Stuart away, Audrey Jenkins hurriedly stood up from inside the sofa, anxiously fixing the clothes she had undone earlier, her expression showing a hint of panic.
Upon seeing her disheveled state, Belinda Howard’s heart ached even more.
She stood rooted to the spot without saying a word, her expression distant as she coldly looked at the scene in front of her—Audrey Jenkins.
Audrey Jenkins stepped forward, eager to exin and hurriedly said, "Belinda, don’t misunderstand... We, we didn’t do anything. It’s not what you think..."
Her panicked demeanor, in Belinda Howard’s eyes, seemed just like the guilty conscience of a thief.
Did nothing happen? Haha...
Belinda Howard remained silent, simply staring directly at Audrey Jenkins. In the depths of her starry ck eyes, suddenly there appeared a hint of unfamiliarity that had never been there before.
Noticing the unfamiliarity in her gaze, Audrey Jenkins froze momentarily—she had never seen Belinda Howard look at her with such cold detachment.
"Belinda... Don’t, don’t misunderstand..."
She walked closer, trying to exin.
Belinda Howard said nothing, but instead, raised her hand and delivered a harsh p across Audrey Jenkins’ left cheek!
The p left Audrey Jenkins bewildered and shocked. She had never expected the usually gentle Belinda Howard, who treated her like a sister, to smack her.
Audrey Jenkins raised her head, staring incredulously at the icy expression of Belinda Howard in front of her. It took her half a moment toe back to her senses, her voice trembling as she asked, "Belinda, you—you hit me?"
Belinda Howard remained silent, her gaze fixed firmly on Audrey Jenkins.
This woman—she had saved her from those people, given her money, helped her return to her ancestral home in Bristol, supported her unconditionally when she decided to build her life in E City, and repeatedly assisted her toward fulfilling her celebrity dream, treating her as her closest friend and her only sister.
But in return, she repaid her with esction; shemitted such an atrocious act against her.
"The most foolish thing I, Belinda Howard, have ever done in my entire life was saving you, Audrey Jenkins," Belinda said coldly, then turned around and walked out of Duke Station Throne without a backward nce.
Watching her departure, Audrey Jenkins held her cheek. At this moment, she could still feel the burning pain spreading across her face.
Her saying the most foolish thing she ever did was saving her? Haha, how ridiculous it sounded!
Pulling her out of one pit of fire only to throw her into another—how was this any different from not saving her in the first ce?
Staring at the tightly closed private room door, a sh of heartache and resentment passed through Audrey Jenkins’ eyes!

Returning home, it was already early morning. Belinda Howardy on the bed, her mind upied with the scene in the private room where Fenton Stuart was holding Audrey Jenkins beneath him—the memory stabbed deeply into her heart!
By the time the sky began to brighten slightly, Belinda Howard hadn’t slept the entire night. Early in the morning, she went to the back garden and started practicing the tunes for her final violinpetition.
The entire morning passed. She hadn’t even eaten breakfast, and the continuous sound of her violin echoed throughout the Howard household from dawn till noon.
What’s going on?
Cam Walker stood at the front door, watching her daughter from afar. While she knew her daughter hadn’t been in a good mood these days, today, her demeanor seemed even more abnormal.
Even if she was busy preparing for the finals, there was no need to push herself this hard, right?
