His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 171:

Belinda met his stare evenly, her voice firm. “And what if I don’t do that?”

Lucas’s gaze intensified, his sharp eyes narrowing. His expression turned cold in an instant.

Belinda suddenly smiled. “Mr. Clark, you’re frequently seen with Verena. Didn’t you ignore my requests to distance yourself from her? If you cannot do that yourself, why do you think you have the right to ask me to do that? Isn’t that a bit hypocritical?”

Lucas’s expression grew dark, and he remained silent, his stare piercing.

After a brief pause, an idea seemed to strike Belinda. She arched an eyebrow provocatively. “Or could it be that seeing me with another man bothers you, Mr. Clark? Does it make you jealous? Or angry?”

Lucas’s brows knitted together, a flash of annoyance betraying his usual stoicism as if Belinda’s words had struck a nerve. Yet, he maintained his poise on the surface, his emotions unreadable.

Moments later, his eyes glinted with sarcasm. “Feel free to mingle as you wish; just ensure you don’t tarnish the Clark family’s reputation or cause me embarrassment,” he said icily.

With those sharp words, he brushed past Belinda and made his way to the bathroom.
