?Chapter 281:


    She had only managed to hide her medical condition thanks to Marlene’s help, who worked at Peace Hospital. Belinda was almost sure that Kristopher wouldn’t take her there at such ate hour. And even if he did, Marlene would have probably clocked out hours ago.


    She didn’t want anyone — least of all Kristopher — to know about her illness. She didn’t want his sympathy, real or contrived, nor did she want it from anyone.


    “How could you possibly be fine?” Kristopher said, his voice rising in a mix of anger and worry. He nced at her and added, “Just look at yourself in the mirror. You don’t have any color left in your face! Aren’t you always taking care of other people? Why can’t you take care of yourself for once? How can you let things get this bad?!”


    Belinda pursed her lips and checked herself in the side mirror. Herplexion… was indeed frightfully pale.


    She opened her mouth to protest further when she noticed a ck SUV suddenly appear farther behind them. Their pursuers piled into the vehicle, and the SUV started tailing them.


    “I believe they just made this into a car chase,” Belinda pointed out.


    Meanwhile, in the ck SUV behind them, the man leading the team sent the photos he had taken of Belinda and Kristopher from behind to Jessa, along with a message. “A woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere. How should we deal with her?”


    Jessa frowned at her phone, then showed the photos to the woman beside her. “Take a look at these, Cathy. That silhouette. Doesn’t it look like…”


    “Belinda.” Cathy murmured the name and scrutinized the photo. Only her back was shown, and the lighting was a little dim, but the height, the figure, and even the hair… Who else could it be if not Belinda?


    “It seems she is really close to this college student.”


    To sneak into a boys’ dormitory in the dead of the night just to rescue him… Not only that, but the way they were fleeing in the pictures made them look like a pair of star-crossed lovers.

    Cathy’s lips curled into a sneer. Kristopher was so fixated on Belinda that he kept calling her name on the night of their divorce, long after he had hammered at the club. How would he react if he found out that Belinda was seeking out another man thiste at night?


    “Cathy,” Jessa called out in a voice that was barely above a whisper. “My men are asking if we should call it off. For one thing, their target jumped into a car, which made the pursuit all the more difficult, especially once they left the campus. Moreover, there’s now another person involved. We paid them only to capture one person,” Jessa reminded her.


    Cathy thought about it for a moment. Her smile was devious when she said, “I’ll pay more. Tell them to hit the target’s car. If the crash doesn’t kill those two, it should at least cripple them to some degree.”


    Hearing Cathy’s words, Jessa stood rooted to the spot. “Cathy, but…” Hadn’t their initial n been to confront the person spreading vicious rumors about Cathy online and teach them a lesson? Why were they now scheming about orchestrating a car ident?


    Cathy’s gaze hardened as she stared at the image of two figures on her phone. “Isn’t this the perfect chance?” she questioned sharply. “Kristopher still harbors feelings for Belinda, even post-divorce. He’s going out of his way to throw a birthday party for her. If it hadn’t been for Belinda, I wouldn’t have been so humiliated at the Summit Hotel…”
