StartNovelChapter 1503: Kylee let out a soft chuckle. "Honestly, learning all of that probably doesn't work in your favor, does it? If your mother ever finds out about this, she certainly won't be happy." At the mention of Zaria's mother, Zaria's gaze flickered, though just for a split second.
After a pause, Zaria responded with a faint, elusive smile. "Well, I can't answer your question from earlier. That's my secret." Naturally, Zaria had no intention of revealing her true motives to Kylee. Kylee wasn't surprised by her response- it was exactly what she had expected.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZaria was far too guarded to ever share her plans willingly.
Still, this made Kylee more cautious around Zaria. If the plan she and Baker had set in motion actually succeeded, Zaria might very well turn against her. So, she couldn't afford to let her guard down.
The conversation soon shifted to lighter topics.
Meanwhile, Belinda and the others were wrapping up their evening. Johnson had had a few too many drinks, and Lucas, along with Belinda, offered to take him home.
Vincent, ever the gentleman, offered to drive Bethany back.
Lucas grunted as he wrestled Johnson's weight into the passenger seat. "He got drunk again because of Catherine." On the way to the Hoffman family's home, Lucas couldn't resist making a remark.
Belinda cast him a pointed glance from the passenger seat. "Alright, that's enough. You've been a bit harsh with him tonight. He's going through a lot with everything happening with Catherine." Lucas shot her a look of disbelief. "Belinda! Are you seriously siding with him?” Belinda blinked, looking amused. "I'm not siding with him; I'm just being fair." Lucas narrowed his eyes, his voice low and commanding. "You're supposed to be on my side, no matter what." Belinda sighed in resignation and then smiled. “Alright, alright. Team Lucas forever. Happy now?" More updates uploaded to galA satisfied grin crept onto Lucas' face. "Yeah." After a pause, Belinda's tone turned contemplative. “Lucas... Do you think Johnson will be able to change his mother's mind?" A knowing smile curled on Lucas' lips. "That all depends on how much he loves Catherine. If he really loves her- if he can't see himself with anyone else—then he'll find a way to overcevery obstacle in his path. Even if the person standing in his way is his own mother, he'll figure out a solution." Belinda gave a small nod, understanding in her eyes.
As the car stopped at a red light, Lucas glanced at the backseat, Where Johnson lay slumped over. His voice lowered, tinged with seriousness. "I've said everything I can. The rest is up to him."
Belinda nodded thoughtfully. "It's his fight in the end. No one else can win it for him" "Exactly."
When they finally arrived at the Hoffman family's home, Lucas helped Johnson to his feet and m assisted him inside. Belinda followed them. Just as they reached Johnson's bedroom door, the door to the room across the hall creaked open.
