His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1244:

However, the true mastermind behind the matter was actually Verena. It was Verena who had meticulously crafted the deception, framing Belinda and inciting Kylee’s thirst for revenge.

So, compared to Kylee, who had been a mere pawn, Verena—the puppeteer lurking in the shadows—was the real monster. And then there was Minna.

Had Verena not taken Minna in, providing her the means to orchestrate an assassination attempt, how could she have nearly succeeded in taking Belinda’s life?

So, Lucas believed Verena was the one who truly deserved retribution!

Death was far too merciful a fate for Verena. Lucas wanted her to suffer—to endure torment so profound that she would long for the release of death yet be denied it.

Belinda was the most important person in his life. Anyone who dared to harm her would pay the ultimate price!

“Lucas, please… For the sake of what we once had, just let me off this one last time, okay?” Verena’s face was streaked with tears, her expression a picture of desperation.

Gone was the poised and calculated woman who had once carefully curated every aspect of herself in front of Lucas. Now, she didn’t care about her image anymore.

She had anticipated punishment from Lucas, but never had she imagined it would be so cruel.

After all, even when she had drugged him, he had spared her. But this time…

Lucas, reading Verena’s thoughts as if they were written across her face, let out a cold, mocking chuckle. “You schemed against me. But perhaps, if it had only been me, I could…”

“Have let the matter slide. But you dared to lay a hand on Belinda…” His voice dropped, laced with chilling finality. “And that is something I will never forgive.”

To Lucas, it was one thing to target him, but harming Belinda was absolutely off-limits!

Lucas’s words struck Verena like a knife to the heart.

The depth of his love for Belinda was undeniable.noveldrama

Verena was filled with jealousy and resentment.

Why wasn’t she the one Lucas treasured? Why wasn’t she the one he protected so fiercely?

Why was it always Belinda?

Verena crumpled to the floor, her spirit utterly shattered.

Lucas had no intention of wasting his time on her. With a flick of his fingers, he signaled Gordon.

Gordon, ever efficient, nodded and turned to the two waiting bodyguards. “Take her away,” he said.

Without hesitation, the bodyguards seized Verena, dragging her toward the exit. “No! No, let me go! Lucas, please—I’m begging you!” Verena’s shrieks pierced the air, her voice thick with desperation.
