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

Chapter 783:

After a moment’s consideration, Bethany said, “I have a hunch… I’m not entirely sure, but it’s probably Verena who drugged Lucas. Ryan went over to knock on Verena’s door this morning, but she wasn’t there. In fact, she hasn’t shown her face since we had breakfast and returned to our rooms. Her sudden disappearance is rather suspicious, don’t you think?”

Belinda fell silent, her eyes narrowing as she contemplated the possibilities. Bethany’s suggestion was very likely, indeed.

Just then, Bethany realized something else, and her expression turned thoughtful. Given that Lucas had been drugged and had specifically gone to Belinda for help, she believed there was no way Belinda could have refused him. After all, Lucas was the man Belinda deeply loved. She could have never left him in such a helpless state.

Other than Bethany, everyone else was unaware of what exactly had transpired, so they were understandably dying to find out the truth. They waited eagerly for Lucas to arrive and recount the previous night’s events.

Once they were seated in the private dining room, all eyes turned to Lucas and Belinda. Needless to say, they didn’t miss the hickeys on both Lucas’ and Belinda’s necks. Their gazes became teasing. Only Ryan’s face darkened with increasing displeasure.

His heart was filled with discomfort. The mere thought of Belinda and Lucas being together last night irritated him. Why was he feeling like this?
