His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 586:noveldrama

Since Mollie had asked that question, it meant…

“Is it… Lucas?” Belinda asked cautiously.

Mollie nodded. “Yeah. The Triumph Consortium originally acquired that plot for over ten billion dollars.”

Belinda’s expression shifted sharply at the mention of the amount. More than ten billion dollars?

Mollie watched Belinda closely as she continued, “Now, that real estate has unexpectedly shifted to the Forsaken Group, which has left everyone puzzled. It’s a prime property. A lot of people competed for it at the auction before. There’s no clear reason why the Triumph Consortium suddenly handed it over to the Forsaken Group. The Triumph Consortium isn’t short on funds, and the Forsaken Group, a smaller entity, couldn’t possibly afford it. Coincidentally, the video that clears your name surfaced at the same time. It’s difficult not to see a connection between these events.”

Belinda remained silent, her thoughts swirling. Could it be that her video had been exchanged for that piece of real estate?

Mollie said nothing more.

Back in her room, Belinda called Johnson.

As soon as he picked up, she asked, “Johnson, do you know how my video came to light?”

Johnson hesitated momentarily. “Uh…”

His pause alone was telling.

Belinda was immediately sure that Lucas was behind this.

“How did Lucas get hold of the video?” Belinda asked.

Johnson’s response was evasive. “You don’t need to worry about that. The important thing is, your name has been cleared. No one will point fingers at you anymore.”

“Was the video exchanged for the real estate on Marshmill, plot 0106?” Belinda asked directly.

Johnson paused, caught off guard by her words. His silence was confirmation enough for Belinda.

She took a deep breath. “So it really is…”

Realizing the secret was out, Johnson said, “Lucas wanted this kept under wraps. I didn’t tell you anything; you figured it out all on your own.”

“Did Lucas really exchange a piece of real estate worth over ten billion for that video?” Belinda asked.

“Yeah,” Johnson said. “Lucas… He truly cares about you.” After a pause, he continued, “Do you know who controls the Forsaken Group?”

“Who?” Belinda inquired.

“It’s Kane.” Johnson sighed deeply. “The Forsaken Group is closely linked to Kane. By giving the real estate to them, Lucas essentially handed it over to Kane.”

Belinda’s expression changed significantly.
