His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1400:

With a scornful chuckle, his voice turned icy. “You are not the one who suffered, yet now, you play the saint, having the nerve to preach forgiveness? Who do you think you are?”

Lucas’s words were brutally direct, showing no restraint even though Faye was his niece.

His biting criticism left Faye speechless, her head bowed in shame. Her face was red with humiliation, a tempest of emotions swirling within her.

She had never imagined that Lucas would scold her so openly in front of so many people! He showed her no leniency whatsoever.

This was the first time Lucas had ever reprimanded her this harshly.

Faye’s eyes welled up with tears, feeling both angry and hurt.

Meanwhile, Ryan, seated beside Vincent, barely dared to breathe.

He was stunned that Lucas would treat Faye like this.

He knew Lucas had always adored Faye.

But now, because of Belinda, Lucas had scolded Faye harshly.

It was clear just how much Belinda meant to Lucas.

A wave of despair washed over Ryan.

Even with Faye vouching for him, Lucas still refused to forgive him. It seemed his friendship with Lucas was truly beyond repair.

Without Lucas as his friend, Ryan’s standing in their social circle had crumbled. People who had once fawned over him with eager smiles now openly mocked him without hesitation. His family’s business also teetered on the edge of ruin.

At home, he and his mother tiptoed around his father, dreading his temper.

Only now did Ryan fully grasp how vital Lucas’s friendship was to him. That was why he was so desperate to mend things with him.

But his attempts had all failed.

When Faye stepped in to support him, a faint spark of hope flickered in his chest—only for reality to crush it mercilessly.

Now, to restore his bond with Lucas and his friends to its former state, only one option remained.

Ryan realized his only hope was to appeal to Belinda. If she could forgive him, all his troubles might dissolve. That was his sole path forward. But the thought of Belinda granting him forgiveness felt like an impossible dream, weighing heavily on his heart.

Meanwhile, Faye struggled to steady herself after Lucas’ sharp rebuke. Though stung and upset, she blinked back tears and murmured, “I’m sorry, Uncle Lucas. I was thoughtless for saying that.”

Lucas, unmoved, replied coldly, “The person you should apologize to is not me.”

Faye’s face froze. She instantly understood what he meant.

Turning to Belinda, her chest tight with suppressed grievances and raw distress, she managed to say, “Belinda, I’m so sorry. This is entirely my fault.”
