His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1380:

Carola raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a condescending smile. “Other people may not know the real reason we got married, Baker, but I do. Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten? Or have you sunk so deep in your own lies that you’ve deluded yourself?” Her words dripped with sarcasm.

Baker clenched his jaw. His face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment, a hint of resentment flickering in his gaze.

Before he could utter another word, Carola said, “I need to rest now. You can leave.”

Baker took a deep breath. He knew there was no hope of persuading Carola.

Without another word, he stood from the sofa and turned to leave.

As soon as the door shut behind him, he let out a curse.

“Dad?” Kylee called out from a few feet away, looking surprised by his outburst.

Baker froze for a moment before turning to her.

“Dad, what’s going on?” Kylee asked.

“Uh, it’s nothing,” Baker quickly replied. “Nothing to worry about…” He swiftly changed the subject. “Did you come here to see your mother?”

Kylee shook her head, her gaze never leaving him. “No, I was actually looking for you.”

Baker looked surprised for a moment. “I see. Alright, let’s talk in the study.”

“Okay,” Kylee replied.

Once they were settled in the study, Baker looked at Kylee and asked, “What do you want to talk to me about?”noveldrama

Kylee didn’t beat around the bush. “How is the company doing? Why is Lucas suddenly targeting your company?”

Baker’s face twisted at her question. “It’s all because of that bitch, Belinda!” he spat out.

When it came to Kylee, he made no effort to hide his disdain for Belinda.

Kylee was well aware that Belinda wasn’t her father’s real daughter, so she wasn’t surprised by Baker’s attitude toward her.

“What did she do?” she asked.

“Belinda discovered that Holley and I are behind the blemishes on her face and the hormones in her body. She no longer trusts us, so…”

Kylee’s eyes grew wide with shock. “But how did she find out?”

“It’s a long story.” Baker ran a hand over his hair and let out a heavy sigh before recounting the events to Kylee.

By the time he finished, Kylee was biting her lower lip, unsure of what to say.

Baker said, “The real problem now is that no one is willing to help your mother and me. Our hands are tied while the company is on the brink of collapse. And there’s nothing I can do as Lucas’ men inject your mother with hormones daily.”

“Is that why you went to talk to Carola?” Kylee asked. “To ask for her help?”
