His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1234:

His voice dropped, laced with chilling finality. “Get out. From this moment on, you and I have no ties whatsoever.”

Verena’s face instantly fell. She had poured her heart out, only for Kane to discard her like a piece of trash?

Rage flared in her eyes as she scrambled to her feet, her entire demeanor shifting. “Kane, you think you can just toss me aside like a broken toy? Think again! Let me make one thing very clear—there’s no way in hell I’m letting that happen!”

Her lips curled into a smirk as she leaned in, her voice now laced with sinister intent. “If you refuse to help me, I’ll march straight to Lucas and spill everything! I’ll tell him how you ordered me to get close to him from the very beginning, how every little move I made was orchestrated by you!”

She let out a low chuckle. “Tell me, Kane, what do you think will happen to you then? What do you suppose Lucas will do when he finds out about everything?”

She was willing to bring Kane down with her now.

A storm raged in Kane’s eyes at her words, his expression darkening. Then, without warning, he lunged at Verena. His hand closed around her throat with brutal force…

Verena gasped, shock and terror flashing across her face. She hadn’t anticipated such a violent reaction.

She was unable to breathe now, struggling to pry Kane’s hand off. But Kane only tightened his hold.

It was only then that Verena realized Kane truly wanted to kill her.

“K-Kane… I was wrong… please…” Verena’s voice came out in choked gasps, her once-defiant spirit crushed beneath the weight of sheer survival instinct.

After about half a minute, just when Verena thought she might really die here, Kane finally loosened his grip and flung her to the floor.

Verena coughed violently, her lungs fighting for air. As she looked up at Kane, the hatred she had once harbored was now drowned in absolute terror.

Kane straightened his sleeves, towering over her trembling form. His voice was calm but laced with pure menace as he said, “If you ever breathe a word of everything to Lucas, I swear I will kill you. If you think I’m bluffing, try me.”

With that, he turned on his heel and left, not sparing Verena another glance.noveldrama

Verena remained on the floor, paralyzed. She was truly scared now. She knew Kane wasn’t just trying to scare her; he really would kill her if she disobeyed him. From this moment on, she wouldn’t dare even entertain the thought of betraying Kane.

The following day:

Belinda had the day off. After a leisurely breakfast, she left her place and drove to a quaint café nestled in the city, where she had arranged a meeting with someone. After sitting for about half an hour, the person she was meeting finally arrived.

“Sorry, I overslept today,” Kylee said, though her tone carried not a trace of remorse.

Belinda remained calm, her expression unreadable.
