<h4>Chapter 1611: Chapter 1611: The Truth of Five Years Ago</h4>


    "But Brother, you can’t just see Belinda walking out of his room and then assume there was something between them. On the contrary, I think you should be thanking Horion. If it weren’t for him stepping in, who knows, Belinda might have already been taken advantage of by Young Master Richard."


    At this, Briana paused for a moment and didn’t continue speaking.


    But Anthony’s brows furrowed even deeper.


    "Young Master Richard? Where are you hearing all of this from?"


    Briana froze, her face full of confusion. "Brother, hasn’t Belinda exined it to you? It was Young Master Richard who drugged her and took her to the hotel. And you know what? All of this was orchestrated by Audrey Jenkins!"


    Anthony stared fixedly at his sister. Every word she said shocked him to his core.


    Five years ago, what was the real truth?


    She had exined it to him? When?


    Noticing his expression, Briana also frowned.


    Belinda said she exined it to him, but looking at her brother now, he clearly seemed as though he didn’t know anything.


    "Brother, you— you didn’t know that Belinda was drugged and taken to the hotel by Audrey Jenkins and Young Master Richard?"


    Anthony raised his eyes and nced at his sister. In that instant, a sh of pain crossed the depths of his dark gaze.


    What had really happened here?


    Five years ago, in a fit of anger, he had gone abroad,pletely ignoring her exnations. But she said she had exined it to him; when had that happened?

    The night was a bit chilly.


    Belinday on the bed, her mind filled with Young Master Richard’s words.


    She had never imagined Audrey Jenkins would plot against her like this. And she, foolishly, had always regarded Audrey as a good friend, a dear sister. It was utterlyughable.


    Just at that moment, her cell phone ringtone suddenly broke the silence.


    She turned her head and picked up her cell phone from the bedside table. When she saw the familiar name on the screen after such a long time, her heart jolted abruptly as if something dormant had been awakened.


    Five years. That name hadn’t appeared on her screen in all this time, and she had never had the courage to call it.


    She thought the number would have long been deactivated, yet she hadn’t expected to see it again.


    After a prolonged silence, she moved her finger slightly and clicked on the text message.


    The message was sinct, containing just a few words: I’m downstairs at your home. Come down.


    The familiar yet domineering tone, just like back then, brought a fleeting moment where Belinda felt as though she must be dreaming.


    Because the familiar words, tone, and name could only belong to five years ago. It couldn’t possibly reappear today.


    She smiled faintly and thought she must indeed be dreaming.


    How could he possibly text her again? Five years ago, when he left, they had already be strangers.


    Quietly cing her cell phone back on the bedside table, Belinda pulled up the bedding, turned off themp at the head of the bed, and prepared to sleep.


    Outside Howard Vi, Anthony sat in the car, gazing at the extinguished light in the room on the second floor. It felt as though his own heart had dimmed along with it.


    But staring in the direction of the second floor, he remained reluctant to leave.


    The next morning.


    Belinda freshened up, finished her breakfast, and headed to thepany.


    "Belinda!"


    Just as she was carefully revising a nning proposal, the voice of her supervisor suddenly rang out beside her.


    She looked up at the supervisor.


    "Is the nning case finished?"


    "It’s almost done."


    "Once you’re done, deliver it to the top floor yourself."
