Chapter 71:
Kylee hastened toward Lucas, a warm smile brightening her face. “Mr. Clark, are you here to see Belinda? | can
take you to her.”
Lucas met her approach with a cool gaze. “Is there something you want to say to me? Just say it.”
Though caught off guard by Lucas’ cold demeanor, Kylee managed to maintain her smile, though it was a bit
forced. “Actually, | have a favor to ask. Could you relay a message to Belinda for me? Despite securing her
position at the Grand Plains General Hospital with the help of the deputy director, she should know her
capabilities are really not up to standard. The hospital conducts rigorous monthly evaluations, and failing those
could lead to dismissal. It would be quite embarrassing for her to be dismissed later.”
She pressed her lips together for a moment. Then, she continued, her tone sincere, “Mr. Clark, please tell Belinda
it might be better if she chose to resign voluntarily. That way, she could focus on improving her skills and
perhaps return later, more prepared. Relying solely on connections won't sustain her position at the Grand Plains

Lucas listened, his expression unmoved. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of mockery passing through
them. He quirked an eyebrow. “And what are you actually suggesting?”
Kylee, momentarily flustered by his words, quickly regained her composure. “Oh, nothing specific! | just hoped
you could help convey this message to Belinda for me; that’s all.”
“Really?” Lucas let out a soft chuckle as if amused by a joke. “You and Belinda work in the shospital, yet you
askto deliver this advice to her? Why not tell her yourself? What am |, a courier?”
His voice turned icy as he concluded his thoughts. He knew all too well that Belinda, despite her naivety, had
often been manipulated by Kylee—betrayed and yet grateful to her so-called sister, who clearly harbored ulterior
motives.

Kylee's face tensed up. After a pause, she said resignedly, “Belinda won't take my advice seriously if it comes
from me. But she might listen if it comes from you, Mr. Clark. She always listens to you.”
Lucas’ lips twisted into a sardonic, chilly smile, his demeanor formidable. “Miss Wright, don’t worry about
Belinda. As long as she is my wife, who would dare dismiss her?”
Kylee’s eyes widened in shock, her expression faltering as she struggled to comprehend Lucas’ stance. She had
assumed Lucas shared her disdain for Belinda. But now...
Lucas looked at Kylee with disdain. While he did not have affection for Belinda, he had even less tolerance for
manipulation.
Kylee’s attempt to use him to undermine Belinda was evident and only served to irritate him further. Seeing
through Kylee’s intentions, which were clearly aimed at smearing Belinda’s reputation to sway his perception,
Lucas felt a mix of impatience and contempt.
Without another word or glance at Kylee, he turned and walked away. His tall figure receded with a commanding
air, leaving Kylee to stew in her frustration.
