Chapter 1029:
Lucas reached for her hand, enclosing it within his own, his touch firm and reassuring. “I get that,” he said. “But
it doesn’t sit right with me. | hate the thought of you being hurt because of this. You must have been really upset
at the time, right?”
Belinda lowered her gaze. After a brief pause, she softly responded, “It’s all in the past now.”
Lucas nodded slightly, his deep voice resonating with a captivating charm. “Indeed, it’s all in the past. And from
this point forward, no matter what challenges we face, | promise to stay by your side.”

A warm smile spread across Belinda’s face as she felt a comforting sense of security envelop her. With Lucas by
her side, she felt much better.
Suddenly, thinking of something, Lucas asked, “By the way, why has Holley returned?”
Belinda exhaled, recalling the recent events. “She cby the other day to apologize, saying she deeply
regretted her actions and was seeking my forgiveness. She claimed she wanted to make amends and begged for
another chance to take care of me. | just wanted to understand her true intentions before making any decisions;
that’s why I didn’t turn her away.”
Deep down, she sincerely hoped that Holley had recognized her mistakes and truly wanted to care for her.
“Has she been behaving oddly these past few days?” Lucas inquired after a moment of contemplation.
Belinda shrugged slightly. “Nothing particularly unusual has happened, except that | heard from the maid that
she spotted her sleepwalking at night. To be honest, | don’t find that too peculiar.”

Lucas narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and said, “Keep a watchful eye on her. If she’s scheming something
sinister, rest assured that her true motives will eventually be revealed.”
“Okay,” Belinda replied, her mood growing heavy as Holley was brought into the conversation.
Noticing the change in her expression, Lucas quickly shifted the topic. “I nearly forgot to inform you of something
significant. We found the two individuals who abducted Kylee, but they are both dead.”
Belinda’s eyes widened in shock. “Both of them are dead? What exactly happened?”

Lucas went on to explain the findings from the investigation.
When he finished, Belinda furrowed her brows in deep thought. “Both of them turning up dead? That's far too
much of a coincidence. It’s clear someone is behind this. You didn’t uncover anything suspicious at all?”
Lucas’ expression grew serious as he hesitated before responding gravely. “Not so far. The person orchestrating
this is being exceedingly cautious and seems determined to erase all traces of their involvement.”
“Who might they be?” A pensive silence stretched between them before Belinda added, “Do you think Verena
could be behind this?”
Lucas paused to consider this before answering, “I did entertain suspicions about Verena; however, after
conducting an extensive investigation into her activities, nothing seemed out of the ordinary—no questionable
transactions, no strange calls, and no deviations in her routine. If Verena had been involved, there would have
been sevidence left behind.”
