NovelsFreeChapter 414:
She was determined not to revert to their old ways.
All she desired now was to forge a path for herself, far removed from Lucas.
Unbeknownst to her, Lucas hadn't actually left the hospital.
He stepped to the side, took out his phone, and dialed Gordon, asking him to cand escort Belinda home.
After ending the call, Lucas was overwhelmed with a sense of frustration.
Why was he even doing this?
Belinda clearly wanted nothing to do with him, so why continue to impose himself into her life?

Yet, he had found it impossible to simply leave Belinda in such a state.
Lucas was torn, his emotions complicated.
The divorce had left him feeling alien to himself.
He felt unfamiliar with the man he had become.
It was only when Lucas watched Belinda limping into Gordon's car that he finally made his exit from the hospital.
At the Nostalgia Lounge, someone casually asked, “Hey, have you heard the news? Mr. Clark and Belinda are
already divorced.”
As Kylee strolled toward the restroom, her steps faltered, and she cto an abrupt halt.

A snippet of the nearby conversation caught her attention, making her stop walking. Was she hearing this right?
Lucas and Belinda were already divorced? Could it possibly be true?
One of the men at the booth quickly said, “Oh, | know all about it. That news has been making the rounds in our
social circle for quite stnow.”
“Why do you suppose Mr. Clark suddenly decided to divorce Belinda?”
“Isn't it glaringly obvious? It's because of Verena! Belinda shoved her down the stairs, and right after that, Mr.
Clark filed for divorce. Doesn't that explain everything?” The man spoke with a tone of smug satisfaction.
Another man let out a sigh and remarked, “It seems that, deep down, Mr. Clark still sees Verena, his ex-girlfriend,
as his one true love.”
“Exactly! It was Harold who forced them to break up all those years ago. Otherwise, Verena would have been
Mrs. Clark a long tago.”

A man suddenly scoffed, his voice oozing with sarcasm as he said, “I always thought Belinda was someone not to
be trifled with. | didn’t anticipate that just after her true identity as Lucas’ wife was revealed, she got a divorce.
She must be feeling miserable right now.”
“But I've noticed that Harold really seems to favor Belinda as his daughter-in-law. He even stood up for her at the
banquet.”
“What's the use of Harold's approval? If Mr. Clark doesn’t care for her, it means nothing! Besides, the Clark
family isn’t really under Harold's control anymore. Officially, Harold may still be the head of the family, but it's
Mr. Clark who truly calls the shots now. So, Mr. Clark’s approval is the real important thing here.”
“It looks like we should start showing Verena more respect from now on—after all, she is the one Mr. Clark really
cares about.”
Listening to their conversation, Kylee couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. It was true—Belinda and Lucas
were really divorced! How wonderful! This was good news to her. She had always thought that Lucas could never
truly have feelings for Belinda.
