The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 725

Belinda had put every ounce of her strength into the strike.

The impact sent Adelina tumbling to the pavement. Clutching her burning cheek, a sudden lump rose in her throat, and tears immediately streamed down her face.

"Adelina! After all these years of giving you everything, of treating you like my own flesh and blood, is this how you repay me?!"

Belinda pointed an accusing finger at her, her voice trembling with fury.

Adelina looked up, her eyes brimming with tears. "Belinda, are you talking about the wedding with Lance? Harrell really framed me! There's absolutely nothing wrong with my body—"

"Shut up!" Belinda felt physically sick looking at her pathetic, victimized expression. "I'm asking you this—did you deliberately manipulate me into doubting Lanny's paternity? Were you in league with the Lee family the whole time to help them steal that baby?!"

"I didn't!" Adelina denied it fiercely. "How could you think I would do something like that? I was genuinely trying to look out for you, for the James family, for Lance—"

Smack!

Belinda hauled her to her feet by her collar, drew her arm back, and slapped the other side of her face with blinding force!

"Since you were a child, I taught you to be honest! Never to lie! Have you completely lost your mind?!"

Belinda's heart shattered. Her profound disappointment mutated into pure, suffocating despair.

"The biggest failure of my life was befriending your mother and treating you like a daughter! Listen to me very carefully—the bond between our families is dead! You will pay the price for what you've done today!"

Adelina's head spun violently from the dual blows.

The sheer ruthlessness of Belinda's words left her ears ringing.

"Belinda, I swear I don't know what's going on! What are you going to do...?"

Belinda released her grip in disgust. Snatching a handkerchief from the driver, she furiously wiped her hands before throwing the cloth squarely into Adelina's face. "What am I going to do? You'll find out tomorrow!"

With that, she turned on her heel and climbed back into the car.

Adelina's blood ran ice-cold. She scrambled up to chase after her, but the driver immediately blocked her path.
