NovelBookChapter 1360: Baker didn't respond, but unease churned in his chest like a storm.
Holley said, "It's lucky you own shares in the country's two biggest DNA testing centers and that you warned your teams in advance to alert you if anyone ever submitted samples matching ours or Belinda's. If not for that precaution, we would've been exposed last tLucas had the tests redone." Just recalling the close call made her shiver.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBaker's expression darkened further. "We were lucky. Lucas happened to choose those two labs where I hold shares, and I managed to intercept the results before he saw the truth. But if he tries a third tat a different center-somewhere outside my reach—we'll be exposed, and I won't be able to do a thing about it." Holley's tone was firm. “He has already checked twice. He won't do it again." "Let's hope you're right," Baker murmured, a trace of doubt in his voice.
"For now, all we can do is wait and see how this unfolds." Holley agreed with a nod. "Yes. Maybe there's still a way out." Baker didn't say another word; he just ended the call.
Around noon, two unexpected visitors arrived at Belinda's home. Seeing Bethany and Johnson standing at her door, Belinda was momentarily surprised. But a warm smile soon lit up her face.
"What brings you two here?" Bethany walked straight over to Belinda, sat beside her, and gently wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Lucas told us everything. The moment we learned the news, we rushed over. How could we not be by your side right now?" "Exactly," Johnson said, sitting down.
They sat on either side of Belinda, enveloping her in their presence.
Belinda let out a soft, frustrated sigh, her gaze flickering between Bethany and Johnson. "Con, you two, enough already! It's warm now. You don't need to be glued to my side like this."

Belinda laughed, warmth blooming in her chest. "Don't worry; I'm actually holding up okay. I would be lying if I said it doesn't hurt at all. But... I sort of saw it coming. When the truth cout, I just thought I was right all along." "What kind of excuse did Holley cup with?" Bethany asked, leaning in curiously.
Belinda smirked, a mix of amusement and bitterness in her expression, before recounting Holley's entire explanation.
Bethany rolled her eyes with exaggerated flair. "That's the most ridiculous excuse I've ever heard! Does she really think she could fool people with that?"
Johnson shook his head in disgust. "She's so fake; it's sickening. I'mm really curious what kind of shameless look she had on her face when she spouted that nonsense."
Belinda's hands, resting on her knees, tightened into fists, her jaw om clenching. "I just can't wrap my head around why she did it. What did she get out of deliberately makingfat and unattractive?"
