Chapter 1314:
Holley’s face changed, the color draining from her cheeks.
She hadn’t anticipated that Lamont would know that particular truth. Trying to maintain her composure, she snapped back,
“And where exactly did you get that information? Belinda and Lucas are already divorced. Whatever ties existed between them are long gone. They’re strangers now, nothing more.”
But Lamont wasn’t backing down. His eyes locked onto hers, unwavering and sharp.
“Really? They have no connection at all now? Then maybe I should head over to the Grand Plains General Hospital and ask your daughter about this.”
Holley’s jaw tightened. Her expression turned stormy.
After a moment of holding back, she exploded, her voice raised in fury,
“Lamont, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to push me over the edge?”
She jabbed a finger toward the door.
“Fine! You want to find Belinda? Be my guest! Go right ahead! I won’t stop you!”
Her lips suddenly curled into a cold, mocking smile.
“If you breathe a word to Belinda about that matter, you and your son might not live to regret it. Think carefully, Lamont. Are you prepared for what she’ll do when she learns the truth? Because I promise you—my daughter won’t show you an ounce of mercy.”
This was the same threat she had used before. And she believed Lamont understood this well—bringing that truth to Belinda would only backfire on him.
He was just trying to use it as leverage against her!
She was certain he wouldn’t dare take that risk.

Lamont’s gaze didn’t waver.
“Do you really believe I won’t do it?” he asked calmly.
His composure was unsettling. The calmer he was, the more uneasy Holley felt.
Before Holley could respond, Lamont spoke again, his voice resolute.
“Let me make myself clear. When it comes to my son, there’s nothing I won’t do. He is my entire world. He means everything to me. If the only way to save him is to beg Belinda for help and expose myself, then so be it. I’ll tell her everything.”
He paused, his eyes flashing with intensity.
“And if she wants revenge afterward, I will face it.”
This time, Lamont wasn’t just saying this to threaten Holley.
Every word he said came from the heart!
Lamont remembered a time long ago—when he had suffered a devastating injury, one that left him convinced he would never father a child. His future had crumbled that day, and the Chadwick family’s bloodline seemed doomed to extinction.
He had spiraled into despair at that time.
But unexpectedly, he had gotten lucky.
Barely a week later, an ex-girlfriend of his had reappeared, cradling a child she claimed was his. A son.
