    ?<strong>Chapter 516:</strong>


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


    Lyle’s disbelief was palpable. “You did this to yourself? Kylee, don’t take me for a fool. Tell me the 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 I 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 I are practically family, and it’s just a minor thing, not worth your concern.”


    “I…” She trailed off, her expression bing uneasy.


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


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


    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’splicated… Ever since Belinda returned from abroad, she has be different. She seems to harbor more resentment towards me, and it has strained our rtionship.”


    “That’s no excuse for her to resort to violence, no matter the circumstances!” Lyle said, his expression dark as he tried to lead Kylee out of the room.


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


    “But I me her! We can’t let this slide. Come on,” 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?”


    “I need to talk to Belinda about something,” Lyle stated tly as he approached Belinda with Kylee beside him.


    “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 were cold, a stark contrast to the warmth she had once known. The sight of him stirred a flurry of emotions inside Belinda. Her breathing became slightly heavier.


    “Aren’t you going to exin the situation?” Lyle’s voice cut through the tension, demanding an answer.


    “Exin what?” Belinda said calmly.


    “Why did you hit Kylee?” Lyle demanded coldly.


    Upon hearing Lyle’s usation, Bethany and Johnson noticed that Kylee’s right cheek was flushed red, a faint handprint visible upon closer inspection. The two exchanged nces, questioning silently. Did Belinda really hit Kylee? But even if Belinda did indeed hit her, Kylee probably deserved it. They shared a knowing look, silently agreeing.


    Belinda lifted her gazezily. “She pped herself. It has nothing to do with me,” she said.
