Semua Bab Married a Secret Billionaire: Bab 1231 - Bab 1240

"You mean Jacob?" Zuko sneered. "Gia, you worry too much. Do you really believe that a prominent lawyer like him would be so foolish as to fall for your scheme so easily?"Gia's mind exploded. Scenes flashed through her mind—Jacob's coldness and contempt during their time together. Even when they went out for a meal, he would send her a Venmo request to split the bill with her. Yet, he seemed more enthusiastic toward her computer.After being stunned for a while, tears fell from Gia's eyes, and a mad laugh escaped her lips."Lina!" She turned to look at Lina, speaking recklessly. "Do you really not care about our past friendship anymore? Have the police take me away today, and I'll post about you online tomorrow! I'll let the whole world know that you framed an old friend and are a heartless, cold-blooded monster!""Gia, what you've done has already violated the law! Don't you understand?" She almost amused Lina."It's not just me who violated the law, but also your adoptive mothe

Zuko blurted out without thinking, "They'll definitely agree!"Then, he met Zephyr's cryptic look and corrected himself. "Uh... They'll probably agree.""Anyway, I've prepared two sets of wedding gifts," Cordelia said, looking at her son. "One for you and one for Toph. If by then you still can't marry my two daughters-in-law..."Zuko raised an eyebrow with a puzzled look.Cordelia smiled. "Then you two don't have to come back either!"Zuko was rendered speechless.Zephyr hugged Cordelia by the waist with a hearty laugh. Not having these two brats come back was just fine, as they wouldn't interrupt his alone time with his wife.Lina came out of the room, and her face lit up with a delighted smile when she saw the three of them."Uncle Zephyr, Aunt Cordelia! You're here!""Ahem!" Zuko hurriedly said, "I'm here too!"Lina took his hand in hers, smiling."My parents came to see Aunt Melissa and asked about the progress of her treatment.""Thanks for your concern, Uncle Zephyr a

"What's wrong?" Nicholas asked, raising his deep voice and narrowing his eyes. "Are you drinking or not?"Zuko forced a smile and replied, "I'll... I'll drink, of course.""Then fill the glasses!""Sh*t!" Zuko let out a soft gasp. "Uncle Nicholas, slow down!"He watched as Nicholas brought out two whiskey glasses and filled them to the brim before handing one to him.Zuko had no choice but to accept it. However, he had never even had vodka straight. It felt more like a glass of alcohol rather than something to savor."What's the matter? Scared to drink?" Nicholas raised an eyebrow smugly. "Kid, are you even a man if you can't handle this?""Uncle Nicholas—""Your father must not have taught you these things!" Nicholas leaned closer to him with a mischievous smile. "A real man drinks this. That's the real deal! Don't learn those fancy habits from your father, thinking you're sophisticated just by sipping red wine and eating fancy tiny dishes. Those rich heir types like him alway

Lina had some concerns. "It's not that. I just returned to this family and haven't spent much time with my parents. It'll be difficult for them to part with me, even though they don't say it out loud. Moreover, my mother in Jangasas hasn't fully recovered yet, and I want to take care of her longer."Zuko affectionately patted her head. Even if he couldn't wait any longer, he had to respect her filial piety."Alright." He smiled. "There's no rush. Besides, I'll be with you when you go abroad for further studies."Lina happily gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.Zuko was slightly stunned.The innocent Lina did not realize that something was off with the way he looked at her. She wanted to kiss him on the other cheek, only for him to grab her wrist and pull her down onto the bed."Ah!" Lina let out a soft cry.They were now so close that their noses were almost touching. She could clearly feel his gradually warming breaths and body temperature, and...Lina blushed instantly and tur

The question took aback Aaron. "Why? Is checking taxes now a lawyer's responsibility?"Jacob looked more serious. "It's everyone's responsibility!"Feeling intimidated by the imposing aura of the prominent lawyer, Aaron stood stiffly and didn't dare say another word.Abigail couldn't help but chuckle and gave Aaron a subtle look.Aaron cleared his throat and said, "Uh... Mr. Welsh, please rest assured. I've always been a law-abiding artist.""Is that so?" Jacob squinted. "You're still single, right? Do you have any rumored girlfriends? I hope there won't be any cheating scandals that implicate Abigail one day?""Mr. Welsh, what are you talking about?" Aaron winced, sweat forming on his forehead.Jacob's voice turned stern. "I'm saying, watch out!"He cleared his throat and stood closer to Abigail to physically block her. His expression was wary and hostile.Abigail's heart thumped. She could smell Jacob's aftershave from being so close to him. Looking at his pressed suit jacke
