Chapter 1139:

Belinda’s hands, which had been cradling Lucas’ face, slid around his neck as she melted into the moment. She

shut her eyes, savoring the kiss.

By the tthey pulled away, Lucas still looked somewhat unsatisfied.

But even so, after the kiss, the unease in his chest seemed to disappear.

Belinda chuckled and tilted her head. “So? You're not upset anymore?”

Lucas remained silent, but his softened gaze was answer enough.

Belinda then left to visit her grandmother in the hospital, while Lucas returned to work.

Belinda deliberately kept the recent kidnapping incident from Kenia, not wanting to worry her.

After spending the morning at the hospital, Belinda left just before lunchtand made her way to the Thomas

estate.

Unless there were special circumstances, Santino and Darren usually had lunch at hwith Mollie. So when

Belinda arrived, the entire Thomas family was there.

Belinda had a meal with them. After lunch, as they sat in the living room, Belinda finally told them about the

kidnapping.

Mollie's expression darkened instantly. “What? Has Rhys completely lost his mind? How dare he do something

like that?”

She turned quickly to Belinda, scanning her up and down. “Belinda, you're sure you're okay? Don’t lie tojust

Belinda gave her a reassuring smile. “I'm really okay. My injury is minor and has already been treated, so there's

nothing to worry about.”

Santino’s expression grew cold. “Looks like we've been far too lenient with the Williamson family.”

Darren’s voice was low and steady. “Where is Rhys now?”

“Lucas had his hands broken before turning him over to the police,” Belinda replied.

Santino narrowed his eyes, his voice carrying a chilling certainty. “It's tto clear out the old power in the elite

circles and make way for new blood.” This made it clear he had no intention of holding back anymore. The

Williamson family had crossed the line, and he was ready to bring them down completely now.

Darren nodded in firm agreement. “You're right. We should properly express our gratitude,” he said.

Just then, something seemed to dawn on Santino. He turned to Belinda.

“Belinda, this Darwin...”

Just as Santino was about to continue speaking, he abruptly stopped.

“What about Darwin?” Belinda asked, sensing his hesitation.

After a brief pause, Santino shook his head. “Nothing.”

Though Belinda found his reaction odd, she chose not to press him further. After spending stchatting,

Belinda excused herself to rest upstairs before heading back to the hospital.

That afternoon, Kylee received an unexpected call from Verena.
