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."

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
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
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
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
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
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
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**You're such a prude,we've been together for more than a year yet you won't let me touch you.You don't have the right to blame me for having an affair with your sister!*Those words reverberated in my head over and over again.I had been with Andrew King for almost a year.Our union had started off as a blind date arranged by my parents.My parents badly wanted to be connected to the King family,the wealthiest and most powerful family in Chicago.I had found Andrew likable but I really didn't feel that deep spontaneous love for him but my parents had warned me that I must be with him and I must get married to him.We had been engaged and were to be married soon,just for me to walk in on him having sex with my sister.Granted,I had never done more with Andrew other than kissing but I felt he understood that I had wanted to wait until marriage.I genuinely felt that maybe then,I would fall deeply for him.Even if I didn't love him,his betrayal still hurt a great deal and he had the

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

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
