Chapter 1350: "Oh, really?" Lucas' gaze grew even frostier as he stared at Timothy. His voice dropped, sharp and deliberate. "Should I address you as Timothy... or Lamont?" The mention of his true nhit Timothy like a thunderbolt, freezing him in place.
It took him a long moment to recover, after which he forced a strained smile. “Mr. Clark, you're joking, aren't you? My nis Timothy. Lamont was a friend of mine, but he died years ago." "Is that right?" Lucas raised an eyebrow, his gaze dripping with mockery as he studied Lamont. "You've gotten quite comfortable living as Timothy, haven't you? When you lie awake at night, do you ever spare a thought for the real Timothy, the man you let burn to death?" Lucas' words sent a shiver down Lamont's spine, cold sweat prickling along his back.
For a moment, his carefully crafted facade nearly cracked.
After a tense pause, he forced an innocent tone. "Mr. Clark, I genuinely don't know what you mean. I was devastated when Lamont died. But his death had nothing to do with me!" Lucas' patience for Lamont's charade had run dry. He glanced at Gordon with a subtle nod.

To be honest, at this point, he was at a loss for words.
Deny it? They had already unearthed every sordid detail of his history. Confess? He lacked the courage to do so, knowing full well the consequences that awaited him.
So, he stayed silent.
Lucas' tone grew colder. "Lamont, I'll give you one last chance. What's your exact relationship with Holley?" Lamont bit his lip hard, his face paling further.

Lamont's entire body shuddered.
Swallowing his fear, he said, "Fine, I'll talk. I... I had leverage over Holley, so she had no choice but to do what I demanded." Belinda, who had remained quiet until now, finally reacted.
Her gaze snapped to Lamont as she asked, "What leverage?"
Lamont darted a nervous glance between Belinda and Lucas before gritting his g his teeth "It's about... the hormone imbalance in your body as a child, Ms. Wright."
