His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 988:

Verena called Kylee.

“I’ve already heard about what happened with Belinda. Are you involved?” Verena inquired.

“Of course, I’m involved!” Kylee responded, her tone smug.

Verena almost laughed out loud, thoroughly surprised.

She was genuinely impressed by Kylee now.

She had never expected Kylee to pull this off.

Most importantly, the method Kylee had used was quite clever. She had orchestrated the situation so it would seem like a mere accident.

After all, how could anyone predict that blood would splash on Belinda’s face?

With a smirk, Verena remarked, “Belinda’s the talk of the town again. Now, almost everyone in the circle believes she might have contracted AIDS.”

The rumor had spread rapidly, especially since most people at the Grand Plains General Hospital were either wealthy or influential. The gossip had been quick to circulate, and now, it was the main topic among their social circle.

“I’m eager to see what happens between Belinda and Lucas. The Clark family will never let Lucas be with Belinda now! But…” Verena paused, concern creeping into her voice. “You made sure to cover your tracks, right? Your involvement won’t get exposed, will it?”

With a confident smile, Kylee responded, “I didn’t even show my face. No one can trace the matter back to me.”

“That’s good to hear,” Verena replied, relieved.

After ending the call, Verena burst into laughter. She had once thought Kylee was a foolish person, but this incident had proven she had seriously underestimated her.

She was convinced that Belinda would be infected with AIDS. A look of unwavering resolve flashed in Verena’s eyes.

At the Triumph Consortium, in the CEO’s office.

After knocking on the door and stepping inside, Gordon approached the desk and said to Lucas, “Mr. Clark, there is indeed something suspicious about Brent and Hans!”

At this, Lucas looked up sharply. “What is it?”

Gordon promptly reported, “Our investigation revealed that the two siblings are grappling with severe financial hardship. The younger, Hans, is notoriously indolent, never holding a steady job. He has long been dependent on his elder brother, Brent, who works as a construction laborer to sustain their family. Brent’s wife is expecting a child. The two brothers reside in one of the most impoverished and crime-ridden neighborhoods in the city.”

His tone was serious. “What stands out is that, on the day of the incident, Brent took Hans to the Grand Plains General Hospital, bypassing the more accessible, nearby medical facility. As you know, the costs at Grand Plains General Hospital are exorbitant, far beyond what a family of their means could reasonably afford.”

After a brief hesitation, Gordon continued, “I questioned Brent regarding the circumstances leading to Hans’ hospitalization. Brent claimed that upon returning from work, he caught Hans attempting to violate his pregnant wife. Overcome with rage, Brent confronted his brother. The altercation escalated until, in a fit of fury, he seized a nearby dumbbell and struck Hans’ chest with devastating force.”

He frowned as he added, “But our inquiries with their neighbors confirmed that the brothers were orphaned early in life. Brent assumed the role of caretaker, raising Hans as his own. Their bond has always been remarkably tight-knit. Moreover, Brent’s wife has been living with them for several years. Given this history, it seems implausible that Hans would suddenly seek to harm his sister-in-law, especially when she is expecting a child and he is afflicted with AIDS. This narrative strikes me as highly dubious.”noveldrama
