BossNovelChapter 1722:
Belinda squeezed his hand, her tone steady as she said, “Based on Faye’s recent actions and that question she
asked you before, I'm starting to think that her identity isn’t as simple as it seems. | suspect she has known for a
while that she’s not your niece by blood. That might explain why she has developed feelings for you and wants
to test your reaction to that matter.”
Lucas went quiet, a sickening wave of disgust washing over him. The niece he had always treated as family
actually had feelings for him?
It was unthinkable.
He didn’t know how he should face Faye from now on.
Just then, his phone rang.
Lucas glanced at the screen, checked the caller ID, and swiped to answer the call. “Hello.”
“How did things turn out?” Johnson's voice crackled through the line, warm but edged with concern.
Lucas exhaled sharply, his fingers raking through his hair. “Not great. Faye had the nerve to touch my face. Can
you believe it?” His voice trembled with barely contained irritation.

Hearing this, Johnson stayed silent for a while before muttering, “Belinda and the others were right! Women’s
intuition is really something else.” After a pause, he asked, “So, what is your next move?”
“I will wait for the investigation to wrap up before | decide anything,” Lucas said, his voice low.
“Alright,” Johnson replied.
They exchanged a few more words before the call ended.
Later, fresh from a scalding shower, Lucas collapsed onto the bed. He tossed and turned, his mind a storm of
frustration.
Belinda turned beside him. “Don’t dwell on the matter,” she murmured, her voice soft but firm as she patted his
back. “It already happened. We will face it when we need to.”

Lucas let out a quiet sigh, his arm reaching out to pull her close. “Let's just go to sleep.”
The next day,
Lucas trudged into the office, dark circles evident under his eyes.
Back at home, Belinda was free from work for the day. Her fingers hovered over her phone, replaying the piano
recording Jazmine had sent her. She tilted her head, listening intently, her brow furrowing as she noted a missed
chord.
