Chapter 516:

Kylee sniffled softly, shaking her head again. “It was me... | did this to myself.”

Lyle’s disbelief was palpable. “You did this to yourself? Kylee, don’t takefor a fool. Tellthe truth,” he said,

his tone growing more insistent.

Avoiding his gaze, Kylee whispered, “Please, let's not talk about this anymore! I'm fine, really.”

Her voice cracked, betraying her emotional turmoil.

Lyle’s gaze intensified. “Should | check the security cameras now?”

Panicking, Kylee reached out and clutched Lyle’s arm.

“No, don’t! Please, just stay here. It’s nothing serious. Belinda and | are practically family, and it’s just a minor

thing, not worth your concern.”

“I...” She trailed off, her expression becoming uneasy.

Lyle’'s expression darkened. “So, it was Belinda who hit you?”

Kylee bit her lip, struggling to clarify. “It was a spur-of-the-moment thing; that’s all it was. She didn’t mean to hit

Lyle’s tone turned icy, his frustration palpable. “Acting on impulse doesn’t justify violence! Why did she hit you?”

he demanded.

Kylee pressed her lips together for a moment, her eyes beginning to water. “Lyle, it’s complicated... Ever since

Belinda returned from abroad, she has becdifferent. She seems to harbor more resentment towards me, and

Kylee resisted. “Please, Lyle, don’t confront Belinda. I really don’t blher for this.”

“But | blher! We can't let this slide. Con,” Lyle said, pulling Kylee toward the private room where

Belinda was.

There was a loud knock on the door of Belinda’s private room. The door swung open, revealing Lyle and Kylee

standing in the doorway.

Belinda looked up, her expression calm as she saw them enter.

Bethany’s brow furrowed. “What brings you here?”

“Belinda,” he called in a hostile tone.

Belinda met his gaze, her expression tightening slightly. Lyle’s features were as striking as ever, but his eyes

Belinda lifted her gaze lazily. “She slapped herself. It has nothing to do with me,” she said.
