Chapter 783:

After a moment's consideration, Bethany said, “I have a hunch... I'm not entirely sure, but it's probably Verena

who drugged Lucas. Ryan went over to knock on Verena’s door this morning, but she wasn’t there. In fact, she

hasn’t shown her face since we had breakfast and returned to our rooms. Her sudden disappearance is rather

suspicious, don’t you think?”

Belinda fell silent, her eyes narrowing as she contemplated the possibilities. Bethany’s suggestion was very

likely, indeed.

Just then, Bethany realized something else, and her expression turned thoughtful. Given that Lucas had been

drugged and had specifically gone to Belinda for help, she believed there was no way Belinda could have refused

him. After all, Lucas was the man Belinda deeply loved. She could have never left him in such a helpless state.

When noon rolled around, they all went to the restaurant to have lunch.

Other than Bethany, everyone else was unaware of what exactly had transpired, so they were understandably

dying to find out the truth. They waited eagerly for Lucas to arrive and recount the previous night's events.

Once they were seated in the private dining room, all eyes turned to Lucas and Belinda. Needless to say, they

didn’t miss the hickeys on both Lucas’ and Belinda’s necks. Their gazes becteasing. Only Ryan's face

darkened with increasing displeasure.

His heart was filled with discomfort. The mere thought of Belinda and Lucas being together last night irritated

him. Why was he feeling like this?

Vincent was the first to speak. “So, Lucas... Last night, you and Belinda...” He stopped there, realizing that it was

quite unnecessary to say more. Lucas ignored Vincent and instead turned his sharp gaze toward Ryan.

“Ryan,” he said, his voice cold and biting, “are you aware that Verena druggedlast night?”

“W-What did you say?” Ryan's face grew pale with shock.

“Drugged?”

“Wait, what happened?” Both Vincent and Johnson exclaimed in confusion.

Belinda and Bethany exchanged a knowing glance. Their guess was right on the mark—it really was Verena who

had drugged Lucas.

“Answer my question!” Lucas said to Ryan in a raised voice.

Ryan stiffened in his seat and blinked a few times. “I... | really don’t know,” he stammered.

Lucas said nothing at first. He simply pinned Ryan with his piercing gaze, scrutinizing his expression.

When he finally spoke, his voice was laced with threat. “If | find that you were involved in this matter in some

way, or that you were even remotely aware of Verena’s plans... You can forget that we were ever friends.”

Ryan’s expression changed drastically when he heard Lucas’ words. He knew he needed to clarify matters

immediately and avoid any misunderstandings.

He straightened in his chair and declared, “Lucas, | swear, | had no knowledge of any of this. Please believe me!”

But Lucas’ expression didn’t change. He sneered slightly. “I'll look into this and find out the truth for myself.”

His message was clear as day—he didn’t believe Ryan at all.

The color drained from Ryan's face. He was both shocked and hurt by Lucas’ attitude.

“Has Verena lost her mind?” Johnson grumbled. He had said exactly what everyone had been thinking. Verena

must have gone insane! Why else would she do something so extras to drug Lucas?

“There's just one thing I’m curious about. When did Verena even get the chance to drug Lucas? Where did she

put the drug?” This cfrom Vincent, who couldn't hold back the questions that plagued his mind. This got

everyone thinking.
