Chapter 636:
Belinda let out a cold laugh. Kylee was concerned about her? What a joke! Did Kylee really think she hadn’t heard her overly dramatic performance outside the lounge last night? Belinda looked at Kylee with disdain.
“Considering our current relationship, aren’t you getting tired of constantly pretending like this? Because I’m definitely sick and tired of watching you put on an act.”
“You’re right; I am tired of pretending!” Kylee suddenly exploded, dropping her fake smile.
She glared at Belinda and sneered, “You’d better watch your back from now on.” With that cryptic warning, she walked away.
Belinda watched Kylee leave with a cold expression. She had noticed something different about Kylee lately. It was like a black cloud was hanging over her all the time. She was always so gloomy, and sometimes even Belinda couldn’t help but wonder what might have happened to Kylee.
But she didn’t dwell on the matter. Pocketing her hands, she headed back to her office.
At the Williamson family’s residence, the air in the living room was thick with tension, and it was because of the formidable figure sitting on the couch.
“To what do we owe the honor of your presence, Mr. Clark?” Rhys asked, even though he already knew the answer.
After Minna had left the banquet last night, the drug’s effects had gradually worn off. She had regained her senses. The moment she remembered everything that had transpired, she had broken down in tears.

In the face of her father’s relentless questioning, she had no choice but to confess her plan to target Belinda.
Rhys was no fool. It hadn’t taken him long to deduce that Belinda had somehow outsmarted his daughter, ultimately causing Minna to end up in the lounge with Moshe.
Rhys had berated Minna for her reckless stupidity, even though he also felt for her. At the same time, his resentment toward Belinda festered. That woman was truly ruthless! She was the reason his poor daughter had been trapped in that room with that monstrous man.
Of course, he conveniently overlooked the fact that it was Minna who had devised such a scheme to begin with. But Rhys knew better than to avenge his daughter. Belinda had the backing of Lucas and the entire Thomas family, after all.
He had confirmed this when the waiter he had brought home had admitted that he was working for Lucas.
As outraged as he was, Rhys could only swallow the humiliation.
Lucas lounged on the sofa, his legs crossed casually. “By now, you must be fully aware of the truth behind last night’s incident. I believe we need to have a discussion on how to resolve the matter.”
“Resolve the matter?” Rhys echoed, clearly caught off guard. What was there to resolve now? His daughter had already paid a heavy price for the matter—what more was there to discuss?
