NovelOnlineChapter 1751:
At that moment, Carola suddenly thought of something—Holley and Baker had conspired to poison Belinda with
hormone-disrupting drugs and had even left a dark mark scarring her face before.
She imagined Belinda must have felt even more despair and hurt because of that. She didn’t know how Belinda
had managed to overcsuch calculated cruelty. Thinking of this, Carola felt a deep ache in her heart.
After allowing a moment of contemplative silence to settle between them, Carola gathered her courage and
asked, “Belinda, would you mind sharing how you feel about Holley and Baker now?”
As soon as the conversation turned to Baker and Holley, a shadow fell over Belinda’s face. Her jaw tightened,
and a flicker of cold disdain flashed in her eyes.
“Tonow, Baker and Holley are nothing more than strangers bound toby blood,” she said, her voice laced
with quiet fury. “I can’t erase the blood that connects us, but I'll live as though | have no parents at all.”
She paused, letting out a hollow, cold laugh that barely masked the ache beneath. “They were the ones who

remorse. So why should | waste even a shred of care on them?”
Belinda’s words were harsh, and her expression remained cold.
Still, Carola noticed it—a fragile tremor hidden in her voice, a whisper of hurt cloaked in coldness.
The subtle crack in her armor stirred something deep within Carola—a swell of sympathy that tightened her
chest. She, too, thought that Baker and Holley were truly despicable.
“Alright, alright,” Carola said gently, her voice coaxing the tension away. “Let's not get caught up in unpleasant
things. Con, just enjoy our meal.”
Belinda blinked slowly, then drew in a deep breath and gave a small nod. “Okay, let's eat.”

With that, they turned their attention to the food before them, letting the heavy talk drift away like smoke in the
wind. Their conversation soon shifted to lighter subjects, and laughter began to fill the spaces between bites.
The two women slipped into an easy rhythm, their bond evident in the warmth that colored their exchange. The
meal passed pleasantly.
After the meal, Carola slipped into the Wright family’s waiting car, the driver already at the curb. Belinda,
meanwhile, returned to her own car and headed back to the hospital, ready to resher shift.
However, midway through the drive, Carola’s phone buzzed. After a brief exchange on the phone, she leaned
forward and quietly instructed the driver to change course.
The car soon pulled up in front of a stately house—the Happer family’s residence in Owathe. As Carola stepped
through the grand entryway, the low murmur of voices reached her ears. Rounding the corner into the living
room, she cto an abrupt halt. Her eyes widened in surprise.
“What are all of you doing here?” she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. The entire Happer family—everyone
except one nephew currently studying abroad—was gathered in the living room.
Before anyone else could answer, her sister-in-law rose from the sofa and hurried over, seizing Carola’s hand in
hers. “Carola,” she said, eyes brimming with concern, “how could you keep something so serious from us?”
