Chapter 1725:
After a beat, she asked, “So, how did Lucas react when you told him that?”
Belinda gave a small shrug. “As you'd expect, he didn’t believe it at first. But once I explained my suspicions and
reminded him of how I'd questioned Harold that day, he started to waver. So, he immediately had someone look
into Georgie—how she had gotten pregnant back then, or if she had even been pregnant at all.”
Bethany pressed her lips together, deep in thought, then said, “Whether Faye and Lucas are truly blood relatives
is still a big question mark. But sof her actions are definitely odd. | mean, what kind of niece keeps
competing with her uncle's girlfriend for his attention? That is absurd. She's completely lost her mind!”
She rolled her eyes as she spoke.
“To be honest, the truth is already pretty clear. Just yesterday, Lucas tested Faye,” Belinda said, her expression
turning complicated.
Bethany sat up straighter when she heard that, intrigued. “How? Don’t keepin suspense—tell me
everything!”
Belinda, looking a bit resigned, recounted the events of the previous night. By the end of it, Bethany’s expression
had twisted in pure disgust, as though she’d just tasted something foul.

drunk, she could do whatever she wanted to him. Thank goodness Lucas pretended to wake up when he did.
Otherwise, who knows what Faye might have done to him?”
Belinda let out a weary sigh. “He was so repulsed by what had happened that he barely slept a wink last night.”
“I understand him perfectly,” Bethany replied. “He’s always treated Faye like family, only to find out she’s been
hiding these sick thoughts about him all along, and to make matters worse, she actually touched his face while
he slept...” Bethany visibly shuddered with revulsion.
“Anyone would be disgusted by that,” she said.

Just imagining the scene gave her goosebumps.
Belinda asked calmly, “Don’t you think Faye’s actions have already made things pretty clear?”
Bethany nodded without hesitation. “Exactly! What kind of niece would sneak a touch like that while her uncle
was asleep? She clearly has feelings for Lucas.”
Taking a steadying breath, Bethany pressed on with her analysis. “Our earlier guesses seem spot-on, don’t they?
It’s clear Faye has feelings for Lucas. And they are not related by blood, which Faye must have known all along.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have developed feelings for him.”
After a brief pause, Belinda said
thoughtfully, “Still, this is just our

Bethany gave a nod, then said,
“You're right. But maybe this situation
could jolt Lucas into being more
cautious around Faye. That wouldn't

Ty with her. If
Faye had any shady motives, like
slipping something into his drink, it
would be way too easy for her to pull
it off. As long as she’s got those
kinds of feelings for him, we can't
entirely dismiss the risk. Staying
sharp and keeping his defenses up is
the smartest move for him.” The
