Chapter 132:

When Kristopher heard Belinda’s question, he scowled and snapped, “Who gave you the right to look at this document?”

Snatching the file from her grasp, he carefully placed it back into the folder on the floor.

After securing the file, he shot Belinda a frigid glare and scolded, “You shouldn’t mess with other people’s belongings without asking. Even kids know that, don’t they?”

Kristopher had gone to great lengths to obtain these files, which contained sensitive information from a prestigious medical school abroad. He had acquired them after confirming Cathy’s symptoms of terminal gastric cancer, and he knew he had to return them soon. Meanwhile, Belinda had accidentally dropped the files while he was distracted and even dared to glance at the contents inside.

Kristopher’s icy demeanor left her frozen in shock.

The flicker of hope that had briefly sparked in her heart vanished completely.

Was Kristopher not doing this for Belinda’s sake?

He wasn’t a medical expert, nor did his company, Cox Group, have ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, she didn’t remember him knowing anyone personally suffering from gastric cancer… Then it struck Belinda. Cathy often faked illness, always complaining of stomach pain. So…
