Secret Wife, Real Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 271 - チャプター 280

Quincy was puzzled when she mentioned that some guy would buy Ormes for Sarah.Ever since the Curtis family went bankrupt, no one in the business circle dared to pursue Sarah for his sake. Thus, no man in their right mind dared to send her gifts like Ormes.But Renee wouldn't lie to him, would she?

One of the bodyguards eyed her suspiciously before calling Paul to check if she had permission to enter.Jessica was not always allowed to public gatherings because of her condition.Only family members knew that she was mentally unstable and they couldn’t risk the public knowing that as well.Only a

"A marriage alliance..." Vivian muttered, her voice trailing off.The news had caught her completely off guard.Catherine’s satisfied grin grew wider as she saw the shock etched on Vivian’s face.“Miss Lambert, do you still see yourself as the other woman? Are you ready to be outplayed by someone so cunning?"“Why are you telling me this?" Vivian quickly regained her composure. "You're with Andrew. We both understand his connection to Marcelo. If I marry into the King family, the Lamberts will support Marcelo. That can't be good for you."It didn't make sense for Catherine to be helping her.Catherine just shrugged. "I can't stand watching that Renee enjoy a good life. Isn't that reason enough?"************The birthday ceremony then began. Paul had two sons and a daughter. Today, his daughter was notably absent. She was the family's outcast, having married young and moved abroad with her husband. She had almost cut all ties with the Kings.Renee vaguely recalled that she had been cl

The sound of shattering glasses filled the air as the champagne glasses hit the floor.The champagne drenched the carpet and splashed onto Marcelo’s suit. Yet the woman he held was mostly unscathed, her smoky purple dress only slightly damp at the corner.A hush fell over the room.Renee, feeling her heart race, blinked slowly as she looked at Marcelo’s legs. She lifted her gaze to him, her eyes wide with disbelief and panic.“You..." she began, but couldn't finish as others started to react.“Marcelo, Marcelo…stood up!" someone called out.“Marcelo moved faster just now than I ever did in high school. He doesn't look like someone who's been disabled for years!" another voice remarked.“How...how could this be possible?"The room buzzed with astonishment.Members of the King family rushed in, their faces etched with shock. The incident had left them speechless, their expressions empty of any other emotion.A few insiders, aware of the true situation, appeared particularly distressed.

She stressed the word "sister" to remind every one of the family connection between Catherine and Renee, implying that Renee had some obligation towards Catherine.Under Marcelo’s stern gaze, Catherine had little choice but to comply. "I'm sorry, Renee. I acted without thinking. I'm sure you won't hold it against me, for Nana’s sake." She didn't miss the opportunity to invoke Naomi’s influence.Turning to Marcelo, she added, "Mr. King, Renee and I are from the same family. If something were to happen to me, it would reflect poorly on Renee too."Marcelo was visibly irked by her words. He wanted to react strongly but restrained himself, considering Renee’s respect for Naomi.His silence spoke volumes. He was leaving the decision in Renee’s hands.Such apologies, filled with self-righteousness, were too much for Renee.She couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, infuriated by the audacity.In a swift change of demeanor, her smile vanished, revealing a rare display of defiance on her o
