Chapter 41
Chapter 41:
Kylee continued, “Belinda, I know you’re hurt because of me. Three years ago, I mistakenly thought you pushed me. I realized
soon after it was an accident and tried to convince Dad, but he wouldn’t hear it. I’m sorry you faced his wrath because of my
mistake. Can you forgive me, just this once?”
Even as she heard Kylee’s remorseful tone, Belinda’s face remained unmoved. After all, Kylee had once cried out, “Belinda, why
did you push me?” But when she saw their father punish Belinda, she quickly retracted her accusation. However, the damage
had already been done.
Reflecting on this, Belinda looked directly at Kylee and asked pointedly, “Did you invite me here just to revisit the past?”
Without hesitation, Kylee confessed, “While you were overseas, I kept tabs on Mr. Clark for you. His ex has been a constant
presence these last three years. Now that you’re back, you can’t let her get away with this. She’s brazenly trying to disrupt your
marriage, and that’s unacceptable. You need to teach her a lesson and make her stay away from Mr. Clark from now on.”
She clenched her fists in solidarity, burning with a fervor to defend Belinda.
Belinda’s eyes flickered with sarcasm at this familiar display. How had she not noticed Kylee’s undue interest in Lucas before?
With a slight smile, Belinda looked at Kylee and said, “Isn’t it strange for you, my sister, to be so involved in my marital affairs?
One might wonder if you have an ulterior motive regarding your brother-in-law.”
At that, Kylee’s expression shifted abruptly, a brief hint of unease crossing her face.

Moments later, Kylee composed herself and adopted a look of wounded innocence. “Belinda, my concern comes from a fear that
you might be struggling within the Clark family. That’s why I’ve been keeping an eye on Mr. Clark. It’s disheartening to think you’d
misinterpret my intentions.”
Belinda met her gaze, her response cool and measured. “I’m grateful for your concern, Kylee. However, I’d prefer if you refrained
from involving yourself in my relationship with Lucas.”
A brief pause followed, and Kylee’s face momentarily lost its facade. In the past, if Belinda had heard something like this, she
would have obediently apologized. But now...
Kylee silently speculated that Belinda was still harboring resentment over the incident three years ago. But it didn’t matter—now
that Belinda was back, Kylee was confident she could manipulate her once again. She had always known how to pull Belinda’s
strings.
Suddenly, Kylee seemed to remember something and asked, “Now that you’re home, have you considered your career options?
What about joining me at Grand Plains General Hospital?”
When Belinda heard the name of the hospital, she slightly furrowed her brows.
