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

Chapter 369:

Lucas began to explain, “Verena was kidnapped yesterday by an old business rival of mine. I couldn’t just do nothing.”

Despite his explanation, Harold’s face remained stern. He glared at Lucas and said coldly, “So, you just left Belinda alone by the pool? Do you know she can’t swim? Do you know that because you left, she fell into the pool and almost drowned?”

Harold’s voice grew sharper as he spoke.

“What happened?” Lucas asked, his expression changing in an instant.

Harold scoffed, “What happened? You’ve got the nerve to ask that? If it weren’t for a maid passing by and hearing Belinda’s cries for help, jumping in to save her, you’d only be seeing her corpse right now!”

Harold still felt shaken by the matter. The situation had been extremely dangerous yesterday. Most of the servants had been in the living room at that time, far from the pool, and hadn’t heard Belinda’s cries for help. Had the maid not been there by chance, the consequences would have been dire.
