Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 145 Renee and Vivian meet
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

Renee’s sarcastic smile made Marcelo uncomfortable."She wants to work for Harvillston?"His frown deepened. He hadn't heard anything about Vivian wanting to work for Harvillston.There was no sign of rejection in Marcelo’s expression, as perceived by Renee.It seemed he probably would agree if Vivian brought it up.Renee’s assumption wasn't exactly groundless; after all, Harvillston really was the best choice in the country, so it would be no surprise if Vivian wanted to work there.Back when Alyssa took on the STAR jewelry endorsement, Renee couldn't stand to work with the toxic women in Marcelo’s company. It did more harm than good to her work flow.Naturally, she didn't want this to happen again.Drumming his fingers on the leather arm rest,Marcelo attempted to steer the topic back to his point.He announced, "From now on, you're not allowed to call Howard.""Mr. King, are you seriously going to stop me from contacting my former schoolmate now?" Whenever Renee was angry, she knew h

Meanwhile, Renee was in bed, restless.That afternoon in the car, she had taken pleasure in riling Marcelo up.Yet, their argument did nothing to resolve the issue at hand.Her mind then wandered to Nana’s situation.Nana had lured her back under the guise of celebrating her birthday, using her birthday wish to coerce her into helping Catherine. This complication was far from resolved.From the master bedroom's French windows, she could see into the study.Lost in thought, Renee noticed the light suddenly go out.Instinctively, she curled up, feigning sleep.But she realized; pretending to sleep never fooled Marcelo.The bedroom door opened softly.As she expected, Marcelo approached the bed and sat down, asking, "Fancy some milk tea?"Renee felt bewildered.Why would he offer that?Surprised, she opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at Marcelo in confusion.Unaware, the blanket slipped from her shoulders, revealing her see-through nightdress.He could see her beautiful boobs,his mouth

"Then I'm sorry, I apologize,"Renee said, unsure of the cause but swift to mend the bridges.Marcelo’s temper wasn't a novelty for Renee.However, she chose not to dwell on it.Momentarily speechless,Marcelo was caught off guard by this unexpected side of Renee.Pursing his lips, he hadn't anticipated such a facet of her personality."Are you mute now? Did someone glue your mouth shut?"Renee teased, attempting to pry open his lips with her fingers.In the past, those who showed such disrespect to Marcelo would have faced grave repercussions.Yet, with her, even in his anger, he found himself unable to assert his usual authority.Renee seemed determined not to let it go without an apology.After a brief standoff, Marcelo finally conceded. "I’m sorry," he mumbled.Again,this little woman can have him on his knees anytime she pleases."What was that? I didn't hear you."Renee frowned, struggling to catch his whispered voice.Marcelo’s grip on her waist tightened, enough for her to feel it

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
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 161 Be close to Marcelo
Vivian froze in shock, her eyes widening.Paul caught the excitement and desire in her shocked expression.His smile turned triumphant. "It seems you do!Everyone knows Sebastian loved you dearly since childhood and before his death, but the one you've always been drawn to is Marcelo."Vivian’s expression changed slightly, her fists clenched by her side as she fought to maintain her composure.She had known for a long time that Sebastian was in love with her.And she had selfishly gotten into a relationship with him before his death so she could be close to Marcelo.She had did all she could to make Sebastian believe that she actually loved him while deep down,she was hoping to get noticed by Marcelo.When Vivian replied, her voice was very serious. "Mr King, Marcelo is already married. I have no intention of interfering in their relationship."“What if I tell you that I want you to become my grand-daughter-in-law?"“You...Why..."Vivian was too shocked to speak.Initially, she struggle
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 160 Gentle goodbye
Pulling her luggage,Renee noticed Marcelo following her. "Are you driving me to the airport?" she asked.“It's on my way,"He replied, taking a seat in the back and instructing the driver to start the car.Renee pondered the route. The airport was near the suburbs. Where could he be going that was on the way?She turned to him. "Don't you have work today?" Her tone carried a hint of curiosity towards Marcelo, who seemed unusually idle that morning.With a relaxed demeanor,Marcelo replied, "Day off."Renee shot him a doubtful look.Was the KM Group really performing so poorly that its CEO could afford to take so many days off? She thought to herself.Catching her skeptical glance,Marcelo gently tapped Renee’s forehead. "What's that look for?" he asked.He suspected that he was crazy to skip work just because she was leaving the country.Renee, rubbing her forehead, shot him a slightly aggrieved glare. But she didn't call him out on his apparent mood. Reaching the airport, she suppressed

Marcelo, however, remained stoic, feigning sleep as he leaned back. Secretly, he was acutely aware of every single touch and he tried his best to act unaffected.Renee, in her mind, didn't think she was entirely wrong for leaving without consulting Marcelo. Firstly, her hasty exit was understandable given her mood. Secondly, she pondered that Marcelo might have preferred her to leave so he could stay longer at Vivian’s party.The real issue was her abrupt return, awkwardly asking if he was leaving as well.Had he chosen to stay, perhaps she would be the one upset now.But Marcelo’s immediate departure, souring Vivian’s mood,really pleased Renee. Happy with this outcome, she felt inclined to placate him.As the Phantom rolled to a stop at the main porch of the house, Marcelo exited the car first, with Renee following closely behind.The servants had already opened the door, awaiting the arrival of their master and his wife. "Marcelo, wait!" Renee called out.As Marcelo was about to ste

Vivian hurried over to Alma’s side, not ready to let Renee off easily.She hissed, "Miss Hudson! This whole thing involves Alma, Miss Curtis, and Quincy. Isn't it inappropriate for you to interfere? You were pretty tough on Alma just now. Don't you owe her an apology?"Renee couldn't suppress a chuckle at Vivian’s indignant tone.Even with her sarcastic edge, her beauty was undeniable.“You're wrong about one thing, Miss Lambert. Sarah and Quincy have nothing to do with each other right now." She paused, then added, "And as for apologizing? I've made my move. Do you really think I plan to say sorry?"“Renee, you are going too far!" Alma snapped back, her face turning red with anger.She felt braver now that the immediate threat was gone.“Miss Watts, I was talking to Miss Lambert. Isn't it inappropriate for you to interfere?" Renee threw Vivian’s own words back at Alma before turning to Vivian. "What do you think, Miss Lambert?"Alma was at a loss for words.Vivian nervously bit her l
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 157 Stop her
With a detached smile,Renee resumed the game.The crowd's eyes turned to her, expecting to see anger or sadness, maybe even jealousy. But her expression showed none of these emotions, leaving them somewhat disappointed. Then something odd happened.Ever since Marcelo started advising Vivian, Renee, who had been on a winning streak, began to lose. And she was only losing to Vivian. It was almost as if she was deliberately playing into Vivian’s hands, sending her chips her way.“Miss Hudson seems to have run out of luck," someone commented.Vivian, clearly pleased, surveyed the chips she had won from Renee. "I win again," she declared.“Miss, you're running low on chips," the chip attendant reminded Renee.Everyone at the table watched Renee, almost gloating, waiting for her to show embarrassment at not having enough money.But Renee, under their watchful gaze, did something unexpected. She reached out her right hand towards Marcelo and tilted her chin up slightly. "Mr. King, I'm out of
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 156 Assist Vivian
“Hmm, it looks like you are no longer sleepy. Fine, I'll take you out to get milk tea and barbecue. Afterward, can we have another late night together?"By the time Renee realized what she had walked into, it was too late. A rosy blush appeared on her cheeks, and she blinked rapidly to cover up her embarrassment.“You wish," she muttered as she looked away from him.A bunch of young playboys had approached in hopes of currying favor with Marcelo, and they just happened to overhear the conversation between him and Renee.They stopped short in shock.Was this really the noble Mr. King discussing fried chicken and barbecue with Renee? And Renee, too, had she really just put on a sullen act to get her way? Wasn't she always so elegant and demure?What the hell?Worse yet, they seemed to be discussing something else, something intimate that was meant to occur behind closed doors. And Renee had basically refused Marcelo.What was really going on with these two?As far as everyone else was c
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 155 Needed that divorce
Vivian staggered back two steps before she was able to stop herself. Eyes wide, she stared at Marcelo in disbelief, her mind a confused mess."I... I..."After a long time, she finally managed a weak, unconvincing smile. "I know…The other day, I heard Luke call her Mrs. King."Uttering these words was exceptionally challenging for her.Vivian couldn't accept the fact that another woman had already become Marcelo’s wife, a position she had longed for and fantasized about for years!She clasped her hands in front of her. When she looked at him again, she was calm, the true picture of composure.However, one look at her white, tightly clenched fingers made it clear she was anything but."Marcelo, you...When did you get together with her? Why didn't I hear anything of it?Renee Hudson has been famous since she was a child. Why didn't you have feelings for her...""I don’t need to explain anything about my marriage to you.Renee and I are married and I intend to be with her for the rest of m
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 154 The gossip
Renee was the only one who didn't wear a formal dress.She was dressed in a cashmere overcoat, jeans, and black boots with high heels. Her hair was tied back neatly for work. She had an air of casual elegance, like a wealthy woman going out for a leisurely stroll.Even if she dressed in such an inconspicuous manner, she would immediately attract everyone's attention.Renee had been blessed with the ability to attract attention since she was a child.Whatever the reason might have been, it was evident that Renee didn't care about Vivian’s party enough to wear a formal dress."It doesn't matter. What you're wearing is good enough, Miss Hudson." From Vivian’s tone, one could infer that she didn't understand what Renee meant. She turned to look at Marcelo and said, “Marcelo, I have something to tell you."After saying this,Vivian flicked a glance at Renee.Obviously, she wanted to talk to Marcelo alone.Marcelo did not think that her request was anything out of the ordinary. He told Renee
