NovelGoldChapter 72:
At that moment, Cathy was lounging in bed, her head swathed in bandages, exuding an air of superiority
reminiscent of a wife scornfully addressing her rival.
Belinda, feeling a twinge of discomfort, suppressed her emotions and met Cathy’s gaze with cold detachment. “It
tooka while to get here. My room is quite a distance from this one.”
Her room was on the second floor, while Cathy enjoyed the plush amenities of a VIP suite on the top floor. The
elevator ride with Marc had been frustratingly slow, stopping frequently, which added to her delay.
Belinda’s comment was meant to justify her lateness, yet Cathy’s expression soured. “Miss Nelson, what are you
implying? Are you suggesting Kristopher is at fault for not giving you a VIP room as well?” She bit her lip and
turned toward Kristopher with a look of feigned innocence and hurt. “Kristopher, I've always said | didn’t need a
VIP room. I’m no princess... But you insisted on this. Now Miss Nelson seems to think I’m flaunting my status by
being here!”
While handing Cathy a peeled apple, Kristopher’s frown deepened as he faced Belinda. “Let's not create
unnecessary . Cathy's injuries are serious, which is why she’s in the VIP suite.” He paused, then added,

Belinda studied his sharp, resolute features and felt a chill. The Kristopher she had once adored now seemed
distant and calculating.
He had an uncanny ability to read people’s characters from just a few words, even if he couldn’t see their faces.
However, now, despite his vision being clear, he appeared more oblivious and unresponsive than ever before.
He actually took every word Cathy uttered at face value, without a second thought.

Had he paused to consider, he might have realized that Belinda’s tone wasn’t laced with sarcasm or jealousy
toward Cathy.
Taking a deep breath, Belinda fixed her gaze coldly on Kristopher. “Mr. Cox, you've threatenedwith divorce
just to bringhere to say these words? I've listened. If there's nothing more, I'd prefer to return to my rest.
Please transfer the 500 million to my account and meetin court for the divorce proceedings tomorrow.”
With that declaration, Belinda inhaled sharply and turned to leave.
“Belinda!”
Kristopher’s voice, deep and resonant, halted her in her tracks. “Don’t you think you owe Cathy an apology for
the injuries you caused her?”
Belinda stopped, then slowly turned to gaze at Cathy, who was reclining on the bed.
Despite the circumstances, Cathy's cheeks bore a healthy flush, and she seemed in better spirits than Belinda.
Even the bandage wrapping her head was less noticeable than Belinda’s.
The accident today happened because Cathy's car collided with hers. Why should she be the one to apologize?
Cathy seemed to pick up on what Belinda was thinking. She bit her lip, and tears started to stream down her
face. “Kristopher, let it go. Miss Nelson isn’t going to apologize. She won't acknowledge that she slowed down on
purpose, causing my accident... If you push her to apologize, she'll just blme... please, just drop it...”
Cathy’s sobs deepened, her shoulders trembling. “I don’t need her apology. If Miss Nelson doesn't feel like saying
it, that’s okay. My feelings aren't important. I'll get over it after | cry it out...”
With those words, the apple she was holding dropped to the floor with a loud thud. Cathy then fell back onto the
bed, her body shaking and overwhelmed by her tears.
“Cathy!”
Kristopher hurried to her side, cradling her in his arms to offer comfort. He then turned to Belinda, his voice
stern. “Apologize to Cathy, now!”
