GoodNovelChapter 169:
“The only reason they haven't reconciled yet is because of their pride.”
Then, she fixed her gaze on Lillie and told her directly, “Besides, there is no way in hell Darren will ever like you.”
Belinda knew exactly what kind of person Lillie was—a vain and selfish gold digger. Lillie had even built a
reputation for being a school bully back when they had been young. Darren didn’t deserve to be with someone
like her.
And if, by stwist of fate, Darren somehow did take an interest in Lillie, Belinda swore to herself that she
would do everything in her power to tear them apart for Darren’s sake.
“You!” Lillie seethed, her face turning red with fury.
After a while, she composed herself, took a deep breath, and straightened her back. “I can’t know that for
certain if | don’t try!” she declared with renewed conviction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“There is no need for you to try,” Belinda retorted almost immediately. “Your efforts will go to waste because
your goal is an impossible one!”
Lillie’s expression darkened in an instant. “Are you saying that you won't helpwin Darren over, is that it?”
Belinda shot her a look of contempt. “That's exactly what I'm saying.”
Her tone grew colder as she went on to warn, “Letmake myself clear, Lillie. You will never bother Darren
again, nor will you even think about usingas a way to get close to him. If | find out that you've sprung yet
another ridiculous attempt to catch his attention... Let's just say | will teach you a lesson you will never forget.”
With that, she turned on her heel and strode away.

Lillie was furious, but all she could really do was stomp her foot and yell out in frustration.
After a while, she whirled around to face Kylee, her eyes still wide and a little crazed. “What did Belinda mean by
all that? Was she threateningjust now?”
Kylee pressed her lips into a thin line and glanced awkwardly at the ground.
“Calm down, Lillie,” she finally managed to say, albeit stiffly. “Belinda meant nothing of the sort.”
“Don’t defend her, Kylee! I'm not a fool! She doesn’t wantto get anywhere near Darren!” Lillie exclaimed in
anger.
Something flickered in Kylee’s eyes at that moment, but she quickly masked it. “It’s strange, though,” she said
with a sigh. “Belinda seems particularly protective of Mr. Thomas. | once mentioned wanting to meet him, but
Belinda was against it. She was very adamant about it, too. If | didn’t know any better, | might have thought she
was worried | was going to take something precious from her.”
Kylee’s tone was laden with meaning.
Lillie quickly caught on, and her eyes narrowed with her own suspicions. Could it be...
Lillie looked at Kylee, furrowing her eyebrows slightly. “Could it be that Belinda has feelings for Darren, too?”
Kylee’s face registered shock, her hand flying to her mouth. “Impossible! They're practically family. Plus, like
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBelinda herself mentioned, Mr. Thomas is taken! And let's not forget that Belinda is married. She shouldn't be
eyeing other men, should she?”
Lillie let out a cold laugh. “And what's so odd about that? Speople just can’t seem to settle for what they
have!” Her expression hardened, her eyes flashing with disdain. “Then again, considering her mother’s notorious
reputation, what else could we expect? Since her mother was a mistress, how could Belinda be any different
from her mother?”
Kylee stayed silent.
