Enzo was caught off guard by her blunt refusal. Though angry, he managed a forced smile and said, “It’s alright.”

Lucas shot Enzo a stern glance, his gaze sharp and questioning.

After the meal, Lucas stepped outside, Belinda retreated to her room, and Kane’s family remained in the living room, enjoying Harold’s company.

Noticing Enzo’s persistent inquiries about Belinda, Kane furrowed his brows deeply. When Harold excused himself to the bathroom, Kane quickly pulled Enzo aside, asking, “Why are you asking about Belinda? What are you planning to do here?”

Enzo’s face broke into a mischievous smile. He turned to Kane and said, “Dad, don’t you think Belinda is absolutely stunning now?”

Kane’s expression darkened immediately. His voice was cold and sharp as he fixed Enzo with a warning glare. “Listen to me carefully—you’d better not get any ridiculous ideas. She’s Lucas’ wife!”

Enzo’s smile only widened, a glint of mischief in his eyes. “Precisely. She’s Lucas’ wife—my uncle’s wife by title. That’s what makes it all the more exciting.”

He leaned back slightly, his grin more meaningful as he continued, “Imagine this: Lucas’ wife falls for me, insists on divorcing him, and claims she’ll marry no one but me. Wouldn’t that be quite the spectacle?”

For a moment, Kane was stunned by the audacity of his son’s words. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and his voice thundered in a harsh reprimand. “Shut up, you brat! I’m warning you—don’t even think about it. If your grandfather gets wind of this nonsense, he will make sure you regret it!”

Enzo shrugged, his tone light and dismissive. “Relax. Then we just ensure he doesn’t find out about this. This sort of thing, Dad, is best handled discreetly.”

Kane’s glare hardened. “Drop this idea immediately, Enzo. I mean it.”

Enzo waved a hand in dismissal, irritation creeping into his voice. “Alright, I heard you.”

Without another word, he turned and walked away, heading back toward the living room.

Kane watched his son’s retreating figure, his brow furrowed in frustration. Yet, as the silence returned, Enzo’s words lingered in his mind, planting a seed of thought.

Whatever crossed Kane’s mind brought the faintest curl to his lips before he followed his son back into the living room.

That night, Kane’s family remained at the Clark family estate. A soft knock at Kane’s door interrupted his quiet. He opened it to find a man waiting outside. With a faint smile, Kane stepped aside, allowing the man to enter.

They then moved to the balcony, the night air cool. The man greeted Kane, bowing respectfully.

“Have a seat,” Kane said.

“Thank you,” the man replied.

As the man settled into a chair, Kane’s expression turned shrewd. “Tell me, how are things between Lucas and Belinda these days?”

The man appeared momentarily caught off guard, not expecting Kane’s interest in such a matter. After a brief pause, he composed himself and answered, “Not good. They were planning to finalize their divorce at the courthouse, but your father’s asthma attack prevented them from completing the process. However, it appears both Lucas and Belinda are determined to go through with the divorce.”

He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “From what I’ve heard, your father struck a deal with Lucas. For one month, Lucas must comply with all of your father’s arrangements concerning him and Belinda. If, after that time, Lucas still insists on the divorce, your father will stop interfering with the matter. At that point, Lucas will be free to marry the person he truly loves.”
