His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1214:

“Everyone knows that Belinda is Mr. Clark’s loved one now. Has anyone who crossed her ever ended well?” someone else remarked.

“I’m so envious of Belinda!”

Overhearing the whispers, Belinda allowed a soft smile to grace her lips.

Lucas turned to look at her, his gaze tender. He was clearly satisfied with the stir their arrival had caused. He seemed determined to show the world that Belinda was his.

Belinda guided Lucas towards Bethany. Upon seeing them, Bethany clicked her tongue teasingly and chuckled behind her hand.

“What’s so funny?” Belinda inquired.

Bethany responded, “It’s incredible! This is the first time I’ve seen you two together at such an event!”

Lucas smirked and raised an eyebrow. “Get used to it. You’ll be seeing much more of this from now on.”

Belinda gently disengaged her arm from Lucas’ and pushed him playfully. “Alright! You don’t need to hover. Go find Vincent.”

“Chasing me away already?” Lucas looked slightly forlorn.

“Hurry along,” Belinda teased with a mock stern glare, nudging him again.

“Okay, I’m walking away now,” Lucas said with a gentle chuckle, nodding in acknowledgment before leaving, giving Belinda and Bethany some privacy.

As Lucas walked away, Bethany remarked, “Lucas is getting more and more attached to you these days.”

Belinda remained silent, but her broadening smile indicated her contentment.noveldrama

Just then, their conversation was interrupted by a buzz at the entrance. Turning to see the commotion, Belinda and Bethany noticed a man and a woman entering together. They exchanged a knowing look.

The man and woman entering were Johnson and Catherine.

This was notably the first time the adoptive siblings had been seen together at such an event. Johnson usually attended these functions with his biological sister, Eliana Hoffman, or by himself. But today… Murmurs filled the room.

“Who is that woman with Mr. Hoffman? His girlfriend?”

“She must be! He has never brought anyone but his sister before. This woman has to be his girlfriend!”

“She’s quite beautiful! They look good together.”

Catherine was not a familiar face to many; she rarely attended public events and tended to keep a low profile. Besides, Johnson’s mother harbored animosity towards her, keeping her identity somewhat secret within their social circles.

Ignoring the surrounding whispers, Johnson and Catherine maintained neutral expressions.
