Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 16 Both hot and cold
Catherine’s expression soured,a look of distress crossing her face as she turned to Rocco and Grace.“Mom,dad…”She whispered, her voice laced with dismay.The praises being lavished on Renee felt like a slap on Catherine’s face.She only wanted people to slander Renee.For the Hudsons,the idea of an adopted daughter outshining their biological was simply forbidden!An abomination.Rocco,keen to defend his daughter,adjusted his tone.“Catherine is a prodigy.My daughter makes me proud with her so many talents.As for Renee,well, her musical abilities have waned over time,nowhere near Catherine’s level.”Grace joined in,a tinge of regret in her tone.“Yeah,Renee only liked to do irrelevant things growing up no matter how hard we tried to give her the best of all education.”Their words stirred a wave of sympathy among the audience.Meanwhile,in a secluded spot upstairs,Jason who was holding a glass of champagne had a smirk on his lips.He nudged the man who had just joined him.“Marcelo,d

“Get her the banjo from the hall.”Marcelo announced.Jason was shocked to hear that.”But that belonged to your father.No one is allowed to touch it.”“Renee needs it,give it to her.”Jason was stunned.The banjo that belonged to Marcelo’s dad was off-limits but now he was allowing Renee okay it?Jason knew that Renee and Marcelo’s marriage was arranged by his mother against his wishes.He also knew his friend better than anyone.Marcelo had never let anyone,even a woman come close to him.But why was he softening towards Renee?Could he be falling for her?This was staring to get interesting.The waiter promptly returned,banjo in hand and presented it to Renee.“That’s the one from the hall!”An onlooker immediately recognized the sacred banjo.Just a short while ago,Catherine had taunted Renee,asserting that the banjo in the hall was an antique meant for display only.Now, as Renee took hold of it,Catherine’s smugness seemed to fade,replaced by a sense of being publicly mocked.Cather

*RENEE*“Aren’t you usually more assertive?”Marcelo suddenly snorted,contemptuously.His words left me perplexed.“You seemed quite pitiful at the banquet when you were being slandered by you own family?”He reached out and gently held my chin as he spoke.I gulped and struggled to break free from his touch but eventually,I just allowed him study me.Memories of Rocco and Grace’s actions brought a cold sensation to my heart,as if a void had opened,ushering in a chilling wind.Though it wasn’t a major issue,it was still unpleasant.“I wasn’t being assertive or pitiful.I just didn’t want to make any more scene.I’m quite known for my gentleness and decorum in our social circle.I would never let them get the best of me.”He withdrew his hand and ordered.”Get in the car.”I was pretty used to his unpredictable nature,so I didn’t question his request.I rubbed my chin and got into the car.*****************MARCELO*I glanced at Renee who was sitting beside me.I was suddenly curious about he

*RENEE*The food on the tray cooled,its aroma fading.After half an hour,I presented both the original and my translation to Marcelo.“I’m done translating it.”Marcelo can with a grunt,motioning for me to set it aside.He seemed uninterested in reading it,immediately.I stared at him for a moment and then asked,tentatively.”You’re investigating Venus Bar?Why?Are you interested in owning it?”Attempts had been made to own Venus Bar over the years.Afterall,it was the most successful bar in the country and who wouldn’t want to own a bar frequented by the elites.“I owe you a wedding gift.”He lifted up his head and stared at me,nonchalantly.”I have to at least act as your husband,right so I’m thinking of buying that bar and gifting it to you.”My lips parted in shock.I wonder how he’d feel to know that the bar is already mine.It was actually laughable.He wanted to gift me something I already own?Marcelo’s unexpected proposition to acquire Venus Bar seemed like a veiled challenge.“Mr

*RENEE*Sarah had told me about what was going on online regarding me and Catherine.But I’ve never paid any mind to the comparison.Hell,I didn’t want to be compared to anyone.I just wanted to live my life on my terms.And now,I was focused on an opportunity with KM Group,which was currently seeking a stylist for their new quarterly project.KM Group was a global powerhouse which was recently expanding into the domestic market,they held significant influence enough to make even the King family cautious in their approach.A collaboration with KM group would offer me a shield against the Hudsons who were constantly trying to ruin my name.Towards evening,I descended the stairs to find Chad deep in conversation with Marcelo.Upon noticing me,Chad said to me.“Oh Mrs King,we were just talking about you.”I walked closer to them,curiously.”Did I do something wrong?”“Of course not.There’s a banquet at the King’s family house tomorrow and both you and Mr King are invited.”“Me?”I glanced a

*RENEE*“Did you just intend to hit my wife?Felicia,do you ever try to cross that line!”Marcelo warned, furiously.I was momentarily stunned by Marcelo’s intervention m,I gazed at his impassive profile, feeling an unfamiliar stir within my heart.Felicia,recovering from the shock cried out in pain.“Hold on,mom.The doctor’s on the way.”I heard Andrew say to his mother.“Marcelo,you…”Gary seemed to be at a loss of words.”It seems like you’ve forgotten who I am!”Despite lacking familial favor,Marcelo was still the legitimate heir as he was the son of the owner of the Kings Empire.I heard that his father had 70% of the Kings’ fortune.Power was the only thing that mattered to the Kings and they would do anything to have it.“Enough!”The old man who appeared to be Marcelo’s Grandfather thundered.“You all have absolutely not respect for me.”“I think it might be too late to teach Gary some respect now.”Marcelo replied before turned to face me.“Let’s go,my love.”I gulped.Did he just c

As soon as they got into the hotel room,Jason pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard.Every word he had sent to her at the club,he meant it.About her beauty and as well as his name but he didn’t do relationship so he was just going to fuck this beauty and move on as usual.As her hands descended down his buttons and his chest was revealed bit by bit,the tremor in her fingers got worse and worse.At the last button,Jason took her hands away and impatiently ripped it open,the buttons popping free and falling somewhere on the carpet.The shirt fell to the ground and Lena looked at the bare expense of his chest in front of her.Heat suffused her face.She reached out a reverent hand and touched him,tentatively,trailing her fingers over his hard flat nipples.His chest surged as he sucked in a breath.When she looked up,his eyes were momentarily closed.In the next breath,he started to take off his clothes…leaving himself in only his briefs.His legs were long and tautly muscled.Her

*RENEE*Marcelo’s suite,located in the eastern wing of the main courtyard was a spacious blend of traditional and modern styles,meticulously detailed.While Marcelo went to take care of other things,I began to read a book I had picked up from a shelf.After a few minutes,there was a knock on the door,interrupting me from my reading.Marcelo must be back.I stood up and opened the door.I was taken aback to see Andrew at the door.Seriously?Did he come to find me here?Can’t Catherine just control her boyfriend?Andrew keeps wanting to cause trouble for me at any opportunity!Can’t she keep him on a leash on something?“You barely know Marcelo yet you’re sticking by his side like glue.If you really know the kind of person he is,you’d run far away.”I rolled my eyes.”Are you done?”“Renee,listen…”“I do not want to talk or listen to you.”I made to lock the door but Andrew blocked it with his foot.“Wait!Do you know where he is right now?He’s visiting the ashes of his brother,Sebastian.Y

Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 170 Defense method
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
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 166 Pregnancy news
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

Meanwhile, insider revelations unveiled that Light's grand show encountered two unforeseen incidents.The original jewelry designer, Vivian, and the pianist, Jay, both unexpectedly breached their contracts, reasons unknown.Shortly thereafter, it came to light that the remarkable pianist who concluded Light's show was a woman previously unknown in the piano world.Photos depicted her playing in a simple chiffon shirt and casual pants, her long black hair casually tied back.Remarkably, she hadn't undergone a wardrobe change or applied any makeup.Yet her profile radiated stunning beauty.Further investigation unveiled her identity as Renee, Light's head stylist!A stylist stepping in as a pianist?This was unheard of!Speculation arose about the lavish treatment Renee received from Light, with some guessing that it might be related to the collector's jewels.However, Light's executives maintained silence, offering

From a distance,Renee locked eyes with Jay and defiantly raised her chin in response to his displeased expression.Did he believe that the show would inevitably fail due to his and Vivian’s scheme?Just because he refused to play the piano, he thought that no one else would be able to?Jay, like a thwarted clown, made a hasty retreat.Jonah excused himself and left to deal with the press and media.Renee discreetly pulled Freddy away from the group, giving him a brief rundown of Vivian’s and Jay's violation of their contract.In a hushed tone, she gave him clear instructions. "Expose their violation of the contract to the media."Just paying a breach of contract fee was letting them off too easily!“No problem!" Freddy immediately agreed. His curiosity got the better of him and he asked, "Boss, do they have a grudge against you? Did you steal their business?"“Um...No, just do as I say."Sh

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
