His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 944:

She paused, softening her tone further.

“I’m not saying you have to reciprocate Johnson’s feelings. I just hope you can understand his perspective and not completely shut him out.”

Bethany said, “Exactly, Catherine. You two are only siblings in name — there’s no blood relation. You didn’t even meet each other until you were eight. Johnson really likes you a lot. Maybe, if you feel it’s possible, you could try to give him a chance—”

Before she could continue, Catherine interjected, “Stop it! Just stop!” Her voice cracked with emotion.

She covered her ears with her hands, trying to block out their words.

Belinda and Bethany exchanged glances of concern.

Realizing this was not the moment to press the issue, they shifted the conversation to other topics.

However, Catherine remained distant and distracted throughout the meal.

After the meal, Catherine announced she wanted to leave. Belinda and Bethany did not stop her.

Once Catherine had left, Bethany sighed deeply.

“It seems Johnson’s love life is going to be rough.”

Belinda nodded, not knowing what to say.

“What are you planning to do now?” Bethany asked.

“I’m going to talk to Minna,” Belinda replied.

Bethany’s expression shifted slightly at the mention of the name.

She said, “The Williamson family is teetering on the edge. With the Thomas family and Bergwind Group targeting them and no allies to speak of, their downfall seems imminent. And Lucas hasn’t even made his move yet. If he does, it’ll only hasten their downfall.”noveldrama

Belinda gave a nonchalant shrug.

“Mollie advised Lucas not to act. She and her family wanted to handle the Williamson family.”

Bethany nodded, understanding the situation better.

“That explains why Lucas hasn’t acted yet.”

She sighed after a moment’s thought.

“With everything that’s happening to the Williamsons, I wonder what’s going through Minna’s mind.”

Belinda’s eyes narrowed.

“That’s exactly why I need to see Minna again—to find out if she’ll reveal something.”

“Alright, go ahead,” Bethany replied. Belinda nodded and left.

At the Burke family’s residence, Moshe said to Belinda, “Ms. Wright, Minna is in the room. You can go in now.”
