His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1208:

Kenia, maintaining a stoic face, withdrew her hand sharply.

Holley’s expression tightened, and she gazed at Kenia with evident pain. “Mom, what can I do to earn your forgiveness? Are you going to ignore me forever? I’m still your daughter!”

Her words seemed to strike a chord. Kenia turned away, her eyes alight with both anger and disappointment. “Belinda is your daughter, too. But how have you treated her? You betrayed and schemed against her! Considering that, I don’t think you will treat me well.”

Kenia scoffed. “The tears you shed before me now are nothing but crocodile tears! All hypocrisy!”

Holley shook her head, at a loss for words to explain the situation to Kenia. In her heart, the significance of Kenia and Belinda was entirely different.noveldrama

“Until Belinda forgives you, don’t bother to visit me again!” Kenia declared, propelling her wheelchair toward the elevator.

“Mom!” Holley called after her. But Kenia acted as if she hadn’t heard her at all.

Distressed, Holley bit her lip, pondered for a moment, and then decided to talk to Belinda.

She hurried upstairs, reached Belinda’s door, and knocked. A minute later, the door swung open from within…

Belinda was not surprised to see Holley standing outside the door. “What do you want?” she asked, her voice devoid of interest.

Holley met her gaze and pleaded softly, “Can we talk, please?”

Belinda’s laugh was faint and tinged with sarcasm. “I said all I needed to say to you at the hotel. We have nothing left to discuss.” With that, she moved to shut the door.

“Belinda!” Holley acted quickly, pressing her hand against the door to stop it from closing.

Annoyance swept over Belinda’s features. She frowned. “What now, Holley? Letting you in doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven you. It was only to spare Grandma any trouble, not for your sake.”

Holley’s complexion turned ghostly. Finding her voice took a moment. “I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me, just this once? Your grandma mentioned she wouldn’t see me again if you don’t forgive me…”

“Really?” Belinda raised an eyebrow.

Holley nodded earnestly. “She said that just now. I swear it’s the truth.”

With a cold, mocking grin, Belinda replied, “Then you can forget about seeing her again. Because I will never forgive you. Not in this lifetime!” Her tone was sharp, leaving no room for argument.

Holley’s expression fell. “You—”

Belinda interjected before she could continue, “Leave now.” She then slammed the door shut decisively.
