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

Chapter 278:

Back in the office, Lucas’ expression stayed clouded and dark. Ryan’s words earlier lingered in his mind… Had he truly fallen for Belinda? He did not want to divorce her now? What a ridiculous notion! He just couldn’t stand anyone scheming behind his back — it was a matter of principle; it had nothing to do with Belinda.

Yet, he couldn’t stop himself from wondering… Why had Belinda posted those photos online? What was she trying to achieve with that?

That evening, at the sprawling Clark family estate. Having both stayed late at work, Belinda and Lucas arrived home almost at the same time. Their cars rolled into the garage in succession.

Belinda noticed Lucas’ car but ignored it entirely. She stepped out of her car, shut the door with a deliberate snap, and strode away.

Lucas frowned faintly but stepped out of his car and walked into the house. One behind the other, they entered together.

Hooper, spotting their simultaneous return, raised his brows in mild surprise. He quickly greeted them, saying, “Mr. and Mrs. Clark, you’re back.” After a slight hesitation, he added, “Mr. Clark, your father is waiting for you two in the living room.”
