His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1205



Chapter 1205:

The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly as expressions of shock and disbelief marred the faces of Nigel and Carmelita’s parents. They stared at Carmelita. Had they heard correctly? Had their daughter truly conspired with Iliana to drug her own brother?

The matter seemed too absurd, too outrageous to be real.

“Carmelita, have you completely lost your senses? Why did you do something like that?” Carmelita’s father roared, fury blazing in his eyes.

Through choked sobs, Carmelita stammered, “I just wanted Devin to forget about Belinda. They can never be together! The Garza family and ours have always had strong ties, and Iliana has adored Devin for years. No one could love him more than she does! Iliana is the only woman truly worthy of Devin, the only one deserving of being my sister-in-law! So… I only wanted to help bring them together.”

Carmelita’s mother, who had been staring at her in shock, finally snapped, “Even if you believed Iliana was the right match for Devin, how could you have resorted to such vile manipulation?”noveldrama

Nigel turned sharply toward Devin. “Devin, last night…”

His unfinished question made everyone suddenly realize the most crucial matter. Had Carmelita’s plan succeeded? Had Devin slept with Iliana after being drugged?

Devin’s voice was steady yet cold. “I’m fine. Fortunately, Dr. Wright sensed something was amiss. She forced Carmelita to hand over the key, unlocked the private room, and rushed me to the hospital in time.”

Nigel was a bit stunned. “Dr. Wright? You mean… Belinda?”

“Yes,” Devin replied with a nod.

“That’s good.” A visible wave of relief washed over Nigel. The tension in his shoulders loosened as he exhaled slowly, a mixture of gratitude and lingering disbelief settling within him. The Davidson couple also sighed in relief.

At that moment, Nigel’s gaze sharpened, his voice turning cold. “So, Carmelita, because you decided that Iliana was ‘perfect’ for your brother, you chose to drug him to get what you wanted? To make him sleep with Iliana using such underhanded means? I never imagined you were capable of such a shameless scheme.”

A piercing silence filled the room before Nigel delivered the final blow. “Tell me, if one day I disagree with your ambitions for the family, will you resort to similar schemes to harm me as well?” These words hit Carmelita like a physical blow.

Carmelita’s face drained of color. Panic flickered across her eyes as she frantically shook her head. “No, Grandpa! I swear, I would never do such a thing to you! I didn’t mean it that way! I would never hurt you like that!”

Her parents were equally horrified by Nigel’s words, their own expressions shifting to sheer desperation.

“Dad, please, you’ve misunderstood her!” Carmelita’s father said, his voice trembling. “Carmelita wasn’t thinking clearly. She was impulsive, perhaps even influenced by others. She didn’t intend to cause real harm.”

“Yes! You’ve watched her grow up; you know her well! She isn’t that kind of person!” Carmelita’s mother added hastily, desperation lacing every syllable.
