Chapter 141 Renee’s title
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-03-23 13:55:36Renee had only ever seen pictures of Vivian. Yet, from a distance, she was sure that the woman was indeed Vivian.
Vivian, in real life, looked even more charming and radiant than in her photos.
She sat next to Marcelo, her poise effortless, tinged with a playful, girlish charm.
She was deep in conversation with Damian.They seemed familiar with each other. Vivian, not paying much attention to Marcelo, still angled her knees towards him.
This was a subtle sign of her interest in Marcelo.
Renee’s eyes narrowed, and she stopped in her tracks.
The black jacket on Vivian’s shoulders... It belonged to Marcelo!
Renee recognized the jacket she had picked out for Marcelo this morning, its unique collar standing out.
It made sense for two old friends to sit down and share a drink together.
But why was Vivian wearing his jacket?
A server spotted Renee by the corner of the stairs, her lovely face displaying a mix o

Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 142 Renee’s disappointment
Marcelo requested Luke to obtain Rocco’s contact and promptly dialed the number."Hello, Mr. Hudson, Marcelo speaking," he announced as soon as the call was connected.Rocco was surprised, but quickly settled into a friendly chat with Marcelo, unperturbed by being addressed formally despite being his father-in-law.Marcelo courteously endured a brief period of flattery before interjecting. "I'm calling to extend birthday wishes to Naomi and to inquire if today's invitation for my wife is solely for the birthday or if there's another motive."His question subtly questioned if the real intent was to involve Renee in something else under the guise of a birthday celebration.Despite discussing seemingly mundane matters, Marcelo’s tone conveyed an understated intensity, causing Rocco to feel an inexplicable pressure.“What's on your mind, Mr. King?" Rocco asked, his initial thought being that Renee might have expressed concerns to Marcelo.“Mr. Hudson, I just want to ensure that my wife is

Marcelo pulled up to the main building in his car. He glanced upwards, noticing the master bedroom first.The room was dark.Could it be that Renee hadn't returned yet?“Is Renee home?" As soon as Marcelo walked into the house, he asked the servant a question."Mrs. King is already in her room for a while," the servant replied.Marcelo swung the master bedroom door open, and in the soft moonlight, he noticed her in the center of the bed. It moved almost imperceptibly, synchronized with Renee’s quiet breaths.A frown crept onto Marcelo’s face.Renee hadn't left a light on for him.This marked the first occasion since their marriage that she had gone to bed early, yet she didn't leave any lights on for him.Usually, if he was not in the room, a floor lamp would be lit.Though unspoken, this small gesture always brought joy to Marcelo, as if Ellie was waiting for him.But her unusual behavior tonight stirred a sense of unease in him.However, this feeling disappeared in an instant.Maybe

The moment Marcelo stepped into the bathroom, he quickly messaged Luke, requesting him to find out if there had been any quarrel between Renee and the Hudsons.After his second shower, Marcelo received a reply: "There was no quarrel."he remained in the dark about what had transpired with Renee at the Hudson’s place. This led him to ponder whether he should place a spy within the Hudson household.Renee repeatedly tried to hypnotize herself to sleep, but it wasn't until Marcelo returned to bed that sleep finally embraced her.She made a conscious effort not to resist as he pulled her firmly into his embrace once more.Marcelo noticed her body gradually relaxing, which made him feel somewhat relieved.He always felt disturbed and sad whenever she resisted or be distance towards him."There's a chief stylist role available at Harvillston. What do you think about taking it?" Judging from her unsteady breaths,Marcelo was certain that Renee was not asleep yet.Only then did Renee recall th

Did her reluctance to share mean a lack of trust in him? Couldn't she trust him?After all, he was her husband, so why couldn't she trust him?After a moment,Marcelo set aside his unease, gently smoothing her hair. "Okay,I’ll be here anytime you’re ready to talk," he conceded, granting her the time she requested.Renee was deeply involved in reinvigorating the top private high-end brand STAR, which had stagnated in recent years. Her task was to inject fresh life into the brand, creating a new, eye-catching identity.For the next several days, Renee was at the KM Group, liaising with STAR’s team.She collaborated with show directors, costume designers, and choreographers, overseeing every detail for the upcoming makeup styling and show. Her schedule was packed."Miss Hudson, you've received an invitation from Harvillston." As the initial phase of the project neared completion, the KM Group's liaison approached her.Renee’s schedule had been packed lately. She left early and returned la

The previous night,Vivian had asked Anna about Marcelo’s schedule because she wanted to come return the jacket.Anna had promised to notify her, and this afternoon, she called her and told her that Marcelo was free.Vivian had found it a little strange, but she didn't think too much of it."Mr. King is usually busy every day. But today, he's free,"Anna said to her. "In fact, he's usually very efficient, but he is often late nowadays, so he has to get off late from work.""Why is he late?"Vivian asked curiously."He doesn't actually come too late to work per se,"Anna clarified. "It's just that the morning meetings are usually postponed since he doesn't come early enough to attend it. It seems he's spending more time at home with Miss Hudson."By now, they had reached the door of the CEO's office.Anna knocked and pushed it open. "Miss Lambert, please come in," she said to Vivian.But Vivian didn't hear her. Her mind was somewhere else. She was still thinking about what Anna had revealed

"Miss Lambert, do you need me to get someone to take you home?" Luke offered."No, thanks. I drove here by myself. I can take myself...Wait!"A thought had suddenly entered Vivian’s mind. Without thinking twice, she quickly asked him, "Luke, I heard you say... Mrs. King, right?"She was sure that she had heard those words, but she just needed to be sure. Part of her just couldn't accept the implication behind those words."Miss Lambert, it's better for you to ask Mr. King about it personally," Luke suggested.If Anna had been in the office right now, she would have noticed that something was wrong. Luke was a very cautious person. If he wanted to conceal Marcelo’s marriage from Vivian, he would definitely not have called Renee "Mrs. King". Instead, he would have just called her the usual "Miss Hudson".Vivian remained silent as she ran this through her head.Could Marcelo really be married?He was married to Renee?How could this be?Vivian had always thought Marcelo was not going to

Excited murmurs from other girls in the cafe reached Rebee’s ears."Look at that guy, he's so good-looking!""Yes, handsome for sure, but there's something intimidating about his eyes!""He seems to be staring at our cafe. I wonder who he's watching?""Marcelo..." The name slipped from Renee’s lips without her even realizing.What was he doing here?Howard noticed where Renee was looking and saw Marcelo, furrowing his brows slightly."Renee, did he come here for you?""I'm not sure,"Renee answered, averting her eyes.She genuinely didn't know. Shouldn't he be with Vivian at this time?Or maybe Vivian was in the car with him?Marcelo had been informed by one of his people that Renee was at the school. Watching her sitting there, laughing with Howard, he felt a surge of unexplained anger.When Renee looked at him and then calmly looked away, as if she didn't even recognize him, he felt a pang of annoyance.She chatted with Howard, but pretended she didn't know him?"Welcome, can I help

"What? What are you saying?"Catherine’s disbelief was palpable, her fabricated tears still lingering."I'm saying we're done,"Andrew declared, taking a final drag of his cigarette before extinguishing it in the ashtray. His entire manner radiated frustration."Why? Why all of a sudden?”She was utterly confused, clutching at his hand. "No, I can't accept this.""You don't have a say in this!"Andrew pulled his hand away with impatience.”Catherine, you've been expelled from Bellbanks University. You're just a high school graduate now. My family, the Kings, can't accept someone like that as a daughter-in-law. What do you have that compares to Renee? Your actions have further embarrassed me in front of Marcelo and Renee!"Andrew looked at Catherine as though he had been misled into choosing a flawed product.Renee, a distinguished alumna of Bellbanks University, had been a top student with an array of honors. Just her intelligence and beauty alone made her far superior to Catherine.How ha

Only by firmly embracing this woman did he truly feel her presence, as if this was the only way to ensure she wouldn't be taken away by anyone else.Seeing that her protests had no effect,Renee gave in.She remained seated on his lap, taking a sip of milk tea from the cup she had opened and then donned disposable gloves to begin eating the fried chicken.Why did she have the feeling that he had become so assertive without her even noticing? "Marcelo..."“What is it?" he replied without looking up from the documents, his profile still displaying its usual angular and somewhat aloof demeanor.“Do you like to…you know…have…make physical contact with me because you’re in love with me?”Renee had this question in mind but hesitated to voice it.She had noticed a change in his attitude, a growing closeness and indulgence between them. However, he had never explicitly expressed his feelings for her, even though she had made attempts to draw those wordsIn the end,Renee decided not to push fur

Renee frowned, clearly annoyed. But Vivian had presented a valid excuse for joining. Turning her down would make it look like she was causing unnecessary trouble.*************A comprehensive check-up had been set up by Wyatt, leaving Renee feeling a bit apprehensive when she spotted the progesterone and HCG test items on the list.Despite her assurance to Marcelo that she wasn't pregnant, he had taken the initiative to schedule tests to detect early pregnancy.This left Renee pondering whether Marcelo was secretly hoping for her to be carrying their child or if he was trying to prevent it from happening.It tugged at her heartstrings, as she couldn't help but lean towards the latter possibility.After all, they had consistently used birth control during their intimate moments, and Marcelo had never shown much interest in the prospect of parenthood. The only time he ever mentioned pregnancy and childbirth was during the heat of the moment, which Renee understood as mere empty words s

Renee didn't respond and continued upstairs, leaving Vivian behind in the room.Reaching the top of the stairs,Renee found herself regretting not having Chad escort Vivian out. She wondered if Vivian would leave on her own.Vivian stood there, seething with frustration.How dare Renee treat her like that?Chad appeared discreetly, hesitating.“Miss Lambert, would you like to stay, or..." His unfinished words implied that it was now time for her to leave.Vivian managed a strained smile. “Can I wait here for Marcelo? It's my first time at his house, and it seems inappropriate to leave so abruptly."“Of course,"Chad replied.In his mind, he found Vivian’s unannounced visit somewhat improper, given her lack of gifts or courtesies.In the meantime, a car stopped outside the main building of the mansion.The staff, once used to Marcelo being a workaholic, now observed him returning home on time each day.Entering the house, Marcelo immediately felt something was off.Before he could put hi

Catherine’s gloating tone was a stark contrast to her demeanor after being expelled from the University.“Oh, congratulations,"Renee responded, her tone indifferent.Why should Catherine’s pregnancy matter to her?She had no intention of spending any money on a baby shower gift.That money would be better spent elsewhere!Catherine, expecting a different reaction, noticed Andrew’s gaze lingering on Renee.Frustration washed over her face as her smile faded.“You better find a way to explain that past incident to Nana!" she snapped at Renee, then turned to Andrew. "Come on, let's show your parents the baby's report."“What incident?"Sarah inquired, puzzled.Renee just shook her head, feigning ignorance. "No idea what she's talking about."Yet, the need to explain things to Naomi was indeed pressing.Sarah, still confused, wondered aloud, "Is Catherine delusional? What the hell was going on in her head?"Renee speculated, "She's likely worried I still have feelings for Drew."Considerin

The next day, when Renee woke up, she realized that Marcelo had already left for work. By the feel of the barely warmth area on his side of the bed, he must have been gone for a while.She had just turned around and was about to get out of bed when she noticed a deed of gift on the bedside table.Curious, Renee opened it. Her mouth fell open in shock when she realized it was for a Gulfstream private jet.And the recipient of this gift was her.She immediately reached for her phone and called Marcelo.“I found a private jet deed of gift on the bedside table."Marcelo glanced at the time, noting it was only 9 AM.He teased, "You woke up quite early. Seems like last night wasn't exhausting enough."Renee blushed, but she refused to be distracted by him. "I found a private jet deed of gift!" she declared.“Yeah,"Marcelo responded calmly. "It's for you."Renee already knew it was for her.She could r

Marcelo scoffedDid she seriously think she could appease him with this afterthought of a gift?He was about to protest when his gaze landed on the beautiful shirt. Fine!I'll try it on."Try it on?Renee, holding the shirt, followed Marcelo upstairs, quickly realizing what he meant by saying he'd try it on.As soon as he closed the bedroom door behind them, he yanked off his tie with one hand and started unbuttoning his shirt. All the while, his gaze remained fixed on Renee.He was like a hungry wolf eyeing an innocent lamb.Almost immediately, Renee sensed the subtle and tense shift in the atmosphere.She ventured, "Marcelo, what are you doing?"“Trying on the clothes."While unbuttoning his shirt, he started walking towards Renee.Her heart began to race. She stepped back subconsciously.Marcelo’s lips curled up slightly as she backed up into the wall, as though he had cornered his prey

As she placed a necklace on the model, Renee chuckled and reassured him, "Don't worry, these are my friend's collections. I am borrowing them for the time being."“I know Freddy well, and he's not that rich." Jonah's tone was still very cautious and wary.“It's not Freddy, it's another friend of mine."Jonah stared at her, feeling numb.Why couldn't he have such a wealthy friend?“Should we arrange for more security?" It suddenly occurred to Jonah that having such priceless jewels in one place could make them vulnerable to robbery."Security has already been arranged outside the venue,"Renee informed him.There were enough cameras inside the venue, and they covered every angle.Renee had spent a huge amount of money on these jewels, so it was only natural for her to want to protect them.Despite not being new, these jewels were timeless works of art from different time periods and private collections, with limited availability and more alluring than the newest designs from popular bra
