Chapter 822:
Startled, Belinda crouched down, reaching out again to help, only for the woman to begin wailing.
“Ow! How could you… How could you push me?”
The woman’s voice was loud, immediately drawing attention from those around her.
When Belinda heard the woman’s words, her eyes widened in shock, her voice rising defensively.
“What? Push you? I just wanted to help you. I didn’t even touch you! You fell on your own!”
The elderly woman glared at Belinda, her eyes blazing with a mix of resentment and fury.
“What’s wrong with you? How can you lie like that? I was walking perfectly fine, and you came over and shoved me! You might look pretty, but your heart is pure evil!”
Gasps rippled through the crowd gathering around the scene.
“Is this some kind of scam?” someone whispered cautiously.
“Don’t jump to conclusions. Didn’t you hear the old lady? The young woman approached her first,” another person said.
Belinda felt the heat of countless eyes boring into her. Her stomach churned with anger and disbelief as the realization hit her—the elderly woman was doing this on purpose.
Belinda’s expression hardened, her voice sharp but steady.
“Let’s check the surveillance cameras and see if I actually pushed you.”
The elderly woman let out a theatrical gasp, clutching her chest as though Belinda’s words had physically wounded her.

“Oh! This is outrageous! First, she pushes me, and now, she’s threatening me with surveillance footage!”
With a dramatic flair, she cried loudly enough to draw even more attention.
Meanwhile, Lucas had just stepped out of his car. His sharp eyes immediately caught sight of the crowd forming around Belinda. His brows furrowed deeply, and his jaw tightened as he started making his way toward her.
But just as he moved closer, he noticed something. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a sinister face in the crowd, a face he knew too well.
Minna was there!
As soon as Lucas spotted Minna in the crowd, his expression changed instantly. He swiftly quickened his stride, urgency propelling him forward as he dashed toward her.
With determination, he pushed away the onlookers that had gathered nearby.
Just as Belinda found herself embroiled in a heated dispute with the elderly woman nearby, an unexpected voice called out to her from behind.
“Belinda!”
Belinda pivoted sharply, her expression confused.
As she turned, the first sight that greeted her was Minna’s face, twisted in rage. Then, she noticed that Minna was brandishing a dagger that glinted ominously in the light as she lunged toward her.
Belinda’s pupils dilated in shock, fear coursing through her veins. At that critical moment, she was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace.
