His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1407:

Though she herself shared the same surname, Kylee’s status was far less prominent than Zaria’s.

Befriending Zaria could only bring her benefits.

She had initially invited Zaria out on a whim, half-expecting her to decline. But to her surprise, Zaria had agreed without hesitation.

Zaria let out a light laugh. “No need for thanks! We share the same surname. Who knows? Perhaps our families used to be the same family in the past.”

Kylee nodded, smiling graciously.

Zaria’s eyes sparkled with feigned curiosity as she tilted her head. “Speaking of surnames, I recently met someone else who also has the surname Wright—Belinda. Do you know her by any chance?”

The mention of Belinda made Kylee’s smile falter, her expression cooling noticeably.

“Belinda?” Kylee scoffed. “Unfortunately, yes. Not only do I know her, but we share a father, though we have different mothers.”

Zaria raised her eyebrows in well-practiced surprise. “Really? That is quite the coincidence.”

She blinked, her tone innocent but probing. “So… what happened? Did your father remarry or something?”

Kylee crossed her arms. “Remarry? Of course not. Belinda’s mother is his mistress. Belinda is the result of an affair; she is my father’s illegitimate daughter.”

That was a lie. She knew the truth, of course. She was the one born out of wedlock, but what did it matter? As long as the truth remained buried, her version of the story was the only one that counted.

Zaria’s expression shifted subtly, a trace of disdain passing across her features. “Oh? So she’s an illegitimate child?”

“How did you meet Belinda?” Kylee asked, curiosity piqued.

Zaria answered casually, “I bumped into her while having dinner with Darwin the other night. She and Darwin seemed familiar with each other.”

At the mention of Darwin, Kylee’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly. She said, “You mean Darwin Lambert, the CEO of the BergWind Group?”

Zaria’s lips curved softly, and her tone lost its edge, becoming tender. “Yes.”

Kylee immediately understood the situation—Zaria clearly had feelings for Darwin. She knew exactly what to do now.

Feigning nonchalance, Kylee gave a knowing laugh. “Well, Belinda certainly has a way about her. Somehow, she always attracts the most eligible men. One of them even risked his life to save her.”

She gave a wistful sigh, her voice airy with false envy. “She is really lucky. I wonder when I will meet someone who is willing to risk their life for me.”

Zaria’s eyes narrowed. “A man risked his life to save Belinda before? Are you talking about Lucas?”

Kylee pressed her lips together for a moment, her tone laced with mock exasperation. “It wasn’t just Mr. Clark! Even the gentleman you mentioned, Darwin, also risked his life to save Belinda before.”
