Все главы Married a Secret Billionaire: Глава 1011 - Глава 1020

Lina admired the paintings on Zuko's phone, particularly captivated by the firefly painting's vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes. She expressed her fascination, wishing she could see the artwork in person.Zuko chuckled knowingly.Although Zuko's grandmother was not a renowned artist, she had made a name for herself within artistic circles. Her painting, The Fireflies' Light, had fetched a staggering $30,000,000 at an auction in Centrolis over two decades ago. Her reputation was well-known among industry insiders but less so to those outside the art world.Living in Southeast Aciatic and maintaining a low profile, Xyla, Zuko's grandmother, had a limited online presence, making it difficult for her work to gain widespread recognition unless accessed through exclusive platforms requiring VIP accounts. Hence, showcasing his grandmother's artwork proved to be the best choice in this situation.Zuko got Lina to turn on the computer and sent those paintings to her. "Pick one and try to

Gia's hands trembled as she dialed the number.As soon as the call connected, fear gripped her. "Hello?""Well, well, Ms. Gia." The man's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Seems like you've been quite the avid shopper lately!"Gia's face turned pale. She should have known that the credit cards they had given her came with strings attached. They had been monitoring her spending all along!"Yes, I may have bought a few limited edition bags, some Cece suits, and some quality cosmetics... So what? Don't I deserve them?""I don't think that's all you bought..." Gia heard the sound of paper flipping on the other end. "According to these receipts, you also splurged on a luxury car!""I don't want to commute, taking the train to university like everyone else. I prefer to travel in comfort. What's wrong with that?" retorted Gia.The man's smile remained silent."I-I deserve all of this!" Gia's voice quivered. "If I hadn't obtained Lina's test sample and convinced her to cooperate, do you thi

Gia's expression turned grim as she uttered those words.Lina was taken aback, sensing a hidden meaning behind Gia's statement. Reflecting on Gia's recent unusual behavior, Lina began to suspect that something more complex was troubling her friend. However, she couldn't quite grasp the full extent of the problem.After a moment of silence, Lina reached out and held Gia's hand, casually delivering a weighty message. "I don't believe you would do something like that to me."Gia was shocked by Lina's response.Lina smiled gently. "If you've truly done something terrible, I hope you hold yourself back until I find out. Please, spare me from experiencing the pain of such betrayal... Maybe then, we can still salvage our friendship."Gia licked her lips, her expression serious.Lina's pure and transparent smile shone like a crystal, exposing the darkness lurking within Gia's heart.Gia recalled her small and crowded home, where her parents treated her as a tool to care for her brother.

"To be honest, this is a great painting. There's a high possibility that it'll win. It seems like Lina has no chance with the prize."Keira gently pulled Lina's hand, offering her support.Lina smiled at her, shaking her head to indicate that she was fine.She truly was fine. In fact, she was eager for Violet to showcase the painting to the world."What's the matter? Are you speechless now?" Violet taunted. "Ha, Lina, I copied your work. How do you like that? Do you dare to confront me or expose me?"Lina simply looked at her calmly, choosing not to respond.Violet glanced at her phone, a bright smile on her face."My painting has been submitted to the judges... all thanks to you, Lina! If I win, I'll treat you to something nice. How about dog food?" Violet mocked."Thank you for your offer, but I don't need your charity," Lina replied in a flat tone. "You can keep the dog food for yourself. After all, you seem to have a big appetite. If you don't have enough to eat, how will y

"Oh my, Zeke!" Melissa's heart broke as she watched. She screamed, "Oil isn't free, you know!"However, Zuko stared at her blankly, his face devoid of expression."Quickly!" She slapped his back. "Pour the oil from the pan into the bowl..."Zuko, as if in a daze, held the pan in one hand and the bowl in the other, unsure of what to do."Oh gosh! Get out!" Melissa snatched the bowl and pan away. "If this continues, I might lose my kitchen..."Like a puppet, Zuko was chased out of the kitchen by Melissa.Her words echoed in his head.He suddenly said, "Auntie, did you mean what you said?"Melissa widened her eyes. "What did I say?""Replace our fake marriage certificate with a real one...""Go, go, go!" Although anger still lingered on Melissa's face, there was a smile at the corner of her lips. "But pay me back for the olive oil first!"Melissa closed the kitchen door, ushering Zuko out.Stunned, Zuko walked to the corridor.He looked up at the blue sky. It was sunny, and t
