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

Chapter 1169:

With a steadying breath, Belinda turned to Kenia, her expression serious. “Initially, the pain cut so deep I couldn’t fathom it. To think that my own mother and the woman I saw as a close friend could turn against me like that—it was unimaginable. But then, I came to realize something. I’d been naive to believe that just because they mattered to me, I held the same value in their eyes. People, at their core, prioritize themselves. Holley and Sarai simply chose their own interests over me…” Her words dripped with a faint edge of sarcasm as she spoke.

Kenia remained silent, sensing the turmoil beneath Belinda’s composed exterior. She understood that Belinda had lost all faith in Holley and Sarai.

Belinda’s gaze dropped again as she gave a small nod. “Yes. I don’t ever want her near me again.”

Without missing a beat, Kenia nodded firmly. “I get it. I support you on this.”
