?Chapter 1699:


    She paused, as if recalling something, a faint smile tugging at her lips. “Looking back, I didn’t pick up on Faye’s feelings before because she didn’t see me as a threat then. I wasn’t her rival in love in her eyes, not someone who could challenge her. Back then, everyone thought you had a thing for Verena. Faye also mentioned her constantly around me. And honestly, I barely saw you at that time, so I had no idea what your dynamic with Faye was like.”


    Lucas listened, his eyes darkening, emotions swirling in their depths.


    Noticing his expression, Belinda quickly said, “I’ll stop. Don’t overthink it.”


    Lucas’ grip tightened on her shoulders, pulling her closer.


    That night, he tossed and turned, restless.


    The next morning, the moment Lucas reached the office, he summoned Gordon to his desk.


    “Mr. rk, any specific orders?” Gordon asked Lucas respectfully.

    Lucas exhaled, his gaze heavy. Belinda’s suspicions had rattled him to his core, he had to admit. He couldn’t and didn’t want to believe that her theory was right.

    “Elwood, is there something you need from me?” Nni asked, eyeing her brother seated across from her.


    “Nni, how have I treated you?” Elwood asked, his tone steady.


    Nni answered quickly, “You’ve always been wonderful to me. All these years, you’ve cared for me. You also treat my daughter well! I’m so fortunate to have a brother like you.”


    Her words rang with sincerity.


    Elwood fixed her with a serious look, his voice dropping. “Then let me ask you this. When Mom and my therapist worked together to wipe out my past memoriespletely, were you involved?”
