NovelStartChapter 1481: Encountering a Strong Rival
Belinda pulled herself back to the present, "It's nothing." But it was clear she was distracted. Monica was her treasure, the most
important thing in her life. Belinda wished for her to be happy and couldn't bear to see her experience any pain.
Jack Adams seemed to have the ability to empathize, understanding her worries. He slid the steak he had cut in front of her, "What
worries you? Today was the first t| met Tristan. He seemed to be a good young man, gentlemanly, and stable. He gives a sense
of security, a man worth relying on."
Belinda looked up at his words, so he had also noticed that Monica and Tristan's relationship was unusual?
"Belinda, have you lost weight recently?" Jack Adams sipped his red wine, looking at her with a hint of concern, "How long are you
going to stay in Arkpool City this time?" Because as far as he knew, her company was not based in Arkpool City, nor did her
business involve Arkpool City.
"I'm not sure," Belinda responded, her thoughts involuntarily drifting to Algerone Swain. She lifted her eyes to him and said with a

"Regardless, you must take care of yourself when you're alone." Jack Adams was somewhat concerned about her, yet delicately
maintained a balance. He was a gentleman, a humble man.
"Come, let's toast," Jack Adams raised his glass to her, smiling as he said, "Thank you for your selfless dedication to the children."
"I should also thank you on behalf of these fortunate children." Belinda was a kind-hearted person. They clinked their glasses,
finishing the wine in one gulp.
After lunch, Jack Adams insisted on escorting Belinda back to her place, concerned for her well-being as she had drunk a bit of
wine. Since the two of them had always had a good relationship, Belinda didn't refuse.
So, Jack Adams opened the car door for her, and she took her seat in the passenger side.
"Belinda, where are you staying recently?" The man got into the driver's seat, buckled his seatbelt, turned to her and asked, "Did
you buy a house in Arkpool City?"
"No."
Belinda could feel his increasingly strong adoration for her and took the opportunity to be honest, "I'm staying in a house that
Algerone Swain is not using."
Jack Adams was visibly taken aback, though he didn't show it on his face because he knew that their relationship was one of total
estrangement, incompatible as water and fire. And now, Belinda was staying in his vacant house, which can only mean one thing:
their relationship had eased.
So, Jack Adams felt threatened, and even for a moment, he felt at a loss.
"Where is it?" He asked her, regaining his composure and keeping his emotions in check.
Belinda gave him an address. It wasn't far from here. With the navigation on, they drove towards the villas.
The silence in the car remained unbroken along the way. The atmosphere was a little strange, and the car moved slowly.

At this point, Algerone Swain, standing in the snowy yard, was already freezing, his hands and feet icy. It was already noon, and he
was hungry. Thinking he wouldn't be able to see Belinda, he was about to leave.
But just as he turned to leave, a car turned into the yard and stopped in front of him, not more than two meters away.
Algerone Swain halted, and through the windshield, he saw the woman in the passenger seat and a middle-aged man in the
driver's seat.
Holding the bouquet of roses, Algerone Swain felt embarrassed. He suddenly felt like a fool, caught in a dilemma.
Seeing him, Belinda was also shocked.
As she unbuckled her seatbelt, she turned to Jack Adams, "Jack, I... | have something to do. It's not convenient to invite you in."
"Who is he?" Jack Adams suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy.
Belinda, holding the door she had just opened, glanced at the man standing in the snow with his nose turning red from the cold,
then at the man holding the steering wheel, and answered, "That is Algerone Swain."
"..." Jack Adams felt like his beliefs had collapsed, feeling as though he had run into a formidable rival.
