Chapter 139:
Verena quickly stood up and left, her pace quickening as she made her way out. Belinda and Bethany, not
staying much longer, also decided to leave.
Since Belinda had drunk several glasses of whiskey, her stomach was in knots, a reminder of how much she had
drunk. She made her way toward the kitchen after arriving at the Clark family’s home, intending to make herself
a soothing cup of honey water to ease the discomfort in her stomach.
But before she could reach the kitchen, she bumped into Enzo, who was emerging from the hallway. When she
saw him, her frown deepened.
Kane and Libby didn’t stay at the Clark family estate, but Enzo had chosen to remain, claiming he wanted to
spend more twith Harold.
“You're back, Belinda?” Enzo’s voice carried a hint of mild curiosity as he raised an eyebrow at her.
Belinda didn’t even glance his way, heading straight for the kitchen. Without missing a beat, Enzo followed

He quickly said, “Did you drink tonight? Looking for shoney water to calm your stomach? Letmake it for
you.”
Belinda stopped in her tracks, turning to face him with a sharp, icy gaze. “No need for that. Just stay away from
me.” With that, she walked into the kitchen, her tone final.
Enzo casually leaned against the doorframe, a grin playing at the corners of his mouth. “Oh, con, Belinda.
No need to be so cold toward me.”
Belinda ignored him, her focus solely on preparing the honey water for herself.

Unfazed, Enzo continued, “Look, my father and Lucas have their issues, but that’s between them. I'm not like my
father. There’s no reason for you to be so hostile toward me.”
He paused for a moment, watching Belinda with a more sincere expression, and then added with a smile, “In
fact, I'd really like to be friends with you, Belinda.”
At this, Belinda’s hands faltered for a moment as she prepared the honey water, her mind momentarily
unsettled.
Belinda turned her head slowly to look at Enzo. “I just want you to stay away from me.” He wanted to be friends
with her? That was absurd. She couldn’t even begin to imagine using that word in connection with someone like
Enzo.
With an expression as cold as ice, Belinda picked up her cup of honey water, preparing to leave. But Enzo
blocked her path with ease, not budging an inch.
Belinda raised her gaze to meet his, her voice calm but sharp. “If you don’t want another black eye like last time,
you'd better step aside now.”
The memory of the punch Belinda had landed on him lingered, and Enzo’s expression shifted immediately, his
breath catching. He hesitated for a moment, the tension thick in the air. Then, he stepped aside, not daring to
push Belinda further.
Without a second glance at Enzo, Belinda walked past him, her movements smooth and swift. When Enzo

ignored him, treating him like no one important.
Back in her room, Belinda set her cup of honey water down before heading to the bathroom for a quick shower.
By the tshe emerged from the bathroom, Lucas had already returned. She gave him a brief glance before
moving toward the sofa and sitting down, leisurely sipping her honey water.
Lucas didn’t waste any time. He approached her and sat down across from her, his voice low and rough as he
asked, “What's going on at the hospital? What's with the rumors about you there?”
