Chapter 1387:

Belinda let out a soft, mocking laugh, shrugging. “Ms. Lewis, let’s get this straight—what have I done to you? Did I hit you? Have I insulted you? From the moment I walked into your house until now, I haven’t done anything to you.”

As she spoke, she spun and delivered another sharp slap to Holley’s face.
