Those descriptions certainly didn't fit Susanna.

Marcelo just stared at Renee, saying nothing.

She quickly got his point.

Renee herself had been described as refined and kind...

Clearly, you couldn't always trust what you heard.

On her way to the film set, she remembered something Alyssa had mentioned a name associated with Lambert. The name was Carole Lambert.

***********

Outside the studio city, Susanna got into the passenger seat of the Bentley. She studied the young man driving.

Quietly, she said, "I'm sorry..."

"For what?" he asked. He looked sophisticated and uttered softly, yet his presence felt somehow powerful.

Susanna stared at her palm lines silently, not uttering a word.

The man questioned her, "Do you realize your mistake? Where did you go wrong?"

Confused, Susanna looked up. "I don't believe I was in the wrong. I wasn't involved with that crazy fan. It was Herman."

She had a valid point.

The man, irritated, chuckled. "Then why apologize?"

"I did so because I upset you,"

  • Secret Wife, Real Billionaire   Chapter 99 Have feelings

    Gazing up into his eyes with a tentative smile, she ventured a question, "Marcelo, do you... perhaps, have feelings…?”Their moment was interrupted by a sudden knock at the door.“Have what?" The knocking had obscured the end of her question, leaving Marcelo confused.“It's nothing," Renee dismissed, shaking her head slightly.From outside, Luke called to Marcelo, "Mr. King, it's time to leave."Marcelo tenderly cradled her face, stealing another kiss before announcing, "I must go now."He then opened the door and stepped out into the darkness.Shortly after, the sound of a circuit breaker echoed, followed by the room being flooded with light.The entire encounter felt like a fleeting dream to Renee.She ran her fingers through her hair, vexed.Did she really want to know his answer to that question?Yes she did.She knew she was in love with him now and she wanted to know if he felt that same.But what if he doesn’t?Would she be able to bear a rejection from him?Or was it better no

    However, as Marcelo thought more about the video,the image of Renee dancing in grand attire in front of a multitude of people on the set crossed his mind. Many eyes were fixed on her during those moments.Although he hadn't personally witnessed her dance, others had the privilege of doing so.Thinking of this,he felt a sense of discontent.***************Later that night,Renee received a picture message.The image captured a moment from her dance earlier that day.Initially,she was uncertain whether to be surprised about why Marcelo possessed this picture or that he had sent her a message with an attached image.She dialed his number.The call connected promptly."Hello."Not having heard his voice for a few days, her heart raced a bit faster now."Why do you have a picture of my dance?" Renee inquired, "Did the director forward it to you?"Instead of a direct answer, Marcelo stated, "Renee, you have never performed classical dance for me."She sensed an unexplained tinge of jealousy

    Renee was too occupied by thoughts about Vivian and Marcelo and she became so disoriented."Be careful, Miss Hudson.""Ah!"Renee stumbled but was steadied by a swift hand."Can't you watch where you're going?" The man's voice carried a hint of irritation."Damian?" Recognizing him,Renee regained her composure. "Thank you. What brings you here?""I composed the music for today's ceremony, so naturally, they invited me," He explained, slipping his hand back into his pocket. "I know you're not fond of me. It wasn't my intention to cross paths with you."Renee, feeling misunderstood, replied, "I don't hold any dislike for you. Weren't you always the one who had issues with me?""What? I didn’t..I don’t!"Damian stuttered.Renee began to list past grievances. "In kindergarten, you pulled my hair. In elementary, you stole my eraser. In middle school, you teased me for being a nerd. In high school, you'd turn away whenever you saw me, it was either that or you made fun of me and bullied me c

    Comments from netizens added fuel to the fire."It's so amusing. Catherine’s fans praised her online in the morning as a versatile idol, but her cover is blown in the afternoon.""Is Catherine trying to leave showbiz? Lately, she's been topping search rankings and retracting her statements frequently. What's going on with her?""Catherine never claimed to be the dancer's understudy. It's you, silly netizens, making baseless guesses.""This classical dance is professional. Renee’s dance moves are so precise and beautiful. That's amazing!""She is my senior schoolmate from high school. Back then, I competed with her in a middle school classical dance competition, where she emerged as a gold medalist at the national level. I've always been curious about why she transitioned to becoming a stylist. There's a mystery surrounding her absence from the classical dance world. I'm shedding tears.""She is incredibly beautiful. Truly exceptional! I wish to be close to her.""I have some exclusive

    Marcelo, idly playing with the large sapphire on his wheelchair's armrest, regarded Damian closely, focusing his attention on him.He Inquired, "Do you like Renee?"“No…no..I don’t.”Damian replied quickly, his heart racing. "You know we had some misunderstandings before. We've only just resolved them and aren't even close friends."Marcelo didn't seem concerned with what Damian thought. "Just remember what you've said and don’t ever forget who she is to me.”he advised, his words sounding more like a warning.“I need to find my mom,"Damian said, forcing a smile, unaware of how strained he looked.When Miranda saw Damian looking lost, she teased, "What happened? You look like you've lost your soul."Sitting on the armchair next to Miranda,Damian asked gloomily, "Mom, am I significantly inferior to Marcelo?"After a moment's thought,Miranda replied candidly, "There's a vast difference between you and that man.Please don’t cross him."This only made Damian feel worse."You're interested i

    Her rapport with Damian was standard social fare, but was Marcelo’s relationship with Vivian the same?Staring at the ceiling, Renee closed her eyes tight, unsure how to navigate this emotional tempest. She was regretful that she had advanced her relationship with Marcelo.Suddenly, a knock echoed on the door of the cubicle.“Occupied,"Renee replied instinctively.However, the knocking persisted, forceful in its rhythm.Through the gap under the cubicle door, Renee glimpsed trousers and men's shoes. What in the world was going on?!It was a man!Why the hell was a man in the ladies' room?Anxious,Renee held her breath for a moment, cautiously standing.The knock on the door came again.The Moore family banquet shouldn't pose any danger. Maybe it was an emergency, and they needed to reach her.With a defensive stance, Renee cautiously opened the door.As soon as it cracked open, a forceful push came from outside. A tall figure barged in, pinning Renee against the door.He kissed her pa

    “You're the only one who makes me beg,Renee.”Marcelo breathed.At last,Renee lifted her head, fixing him with an intense stare.She inquired, "What were you doing in London?"Marcelo furrowed his brows, questioning, "Why do you want to know?"He had informed her that it was work-related.If it weren't for urgent matters, he wouldn't have arranged a private plane to London.She regarded him with a self-mocking smile.When he left, he claimed it was for work. However, the headlines featured rumors of him with another woman, and it was that woman who answered his phone.He never brought up the phone call she made. Was it because he chose not to mention it at all, or did he believe it was inconsequential and didn't warrant discussion?Suddenly,Renee didn't want to dwell on the topic. She took a deep breath and said to him, "Let go of me. I have something for you."She then returned to the master bedroom and retrieved a dark gray cashmere scarf from the cloakroom.“I have the gift I mentio

    Renee’s pretense of not knowing Marcelo had a different nature compared to when she was part of the crew.They were not on speaking terms.“Mr. King?" The Dean offered a strained smile. "That young lady is charming, but she's still quite young. You..."Marcelo’s look fell on the Dean. His calm and striking features somehow showed his annoyance.“Am I too old for her?”He asked.“Mr. King, it's not that. Age gap doesn’t matter in this day and age. But your generous donation of a lab building to our school doesn't mean we'll just..." Mid-sentence, the Dean paused, realizing something. "Why do you seem so interested in her?Do you two...know each other?"Marcelo just eyed the Dean and looked away.As soon as Renee was out of Marcelo’s view, he turned away and mentioned, "About the library renovation, you can talk to my assistant."After the Dean left Marcelo, he was still off from the encounter.“I was worried about offending Mr. King by not helping him meet that girl, but he still funded

    Marcelo woke up the following morning with Renee in his arms.He sighed in content as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.She was still asleep.His cellphone rang and he quickly reached for it not wanting to wake Renee up.It was Luke.“We have a problem,sir.Paul has passed away.”Luke informed him.Marcelo grimaced and slowly got out of the bed,careful not to wake Renee.As soon as he walked out of the bedroom,he said.“Talk to me.”“The hidden cameras caught Gary bringing him coffee,he drank it and it led to his death.He also said some incriminating words that meant he poisoned the coffee if we were to use it in court.But there’s more.He sent his men out there to look for a perfect chance to kidnap Renee.”And that made Marcelo’s fingers clenched around his cellphone.This was the last straw!For so many years,he had thought his father’s death was just an accident but after the accident that claimed his brother’s life as well.He became certain that someone wanted to eliminate his who

    I know.I could feel every bit of it.“I love you.”He said again and leaned over to kiss me.His kiss was deep, slow and sensual.He moved one of his hand down and guided the tip of his shaft inside me.And I came immediately,my own body taking me by surprise.A wave of sensual electricity jolted me from my core.My body shuddered from my toes to the top of my head and the contractions in the core of my body filled me with incredible pleasure.After it was all over,I opened my eyes,I saw Marcelo looking down at me with a grin.“You came already?”He teased.”That was just the tip.”I blushed a deep red.I haven’t come this fast before since I started having sex with him but tonight I was incredibly turned on more than ever,by his words, by the way he kissed me,by the way he touched me so just the slightest bit of his cock was enough to send me over the edge.I pouted.”I…I love you so much,that’s why.”He stared at me for a while as if processing what he had just heard.I placed my hand o

    As soon as Marcelo walked into the house that day,Renee ran up to him and hugged him.He smiled as he stroke her hair.“Did you watch the press conference?”She nodded.“I’m sorry that I didn’t inform you about announcing our marriage to the public first…I…”She lifted up her head to stare at his face.“I’m not upset.I’m glad that everyone knows I’m your wife.”Marcelo beamed at her.”And I am glad that everyone knows that this incredible woman is mine.”She smiled,broadly.“I was thinking,maybe we could have a wedding ceremony.”He suggested.She bit her lower lip.”I’d like to walk down the aisle to you.”He leaned down and kissed her deeply.“I’m curious about something.”She suddenly let out.“About what?”He asked.“Were you disappointed or happy when Wyatt confirmed I wasn’t pregnant?”“Disappointed.”He replied,honestly.“Really?”“Yeah. I always thought I didn’t want marriage or children but Renee,I want everything with you.I want to experience everything only with you.”Renee giggl

    That night,Gary couldn’t sleep.He paced to and fro thinking about the fact that Marcelo just keeps surprising them recently.Firstly,from thinking he was a disabled loser to finding out he owned the most powerful company in the country.And now,he wasn’t disabled!That nephew of his deceived him!Back then,that accident was meant to kill both Sebastian and Marcelo.But Marcelo had survived.Gary had wanted to make another attempt on his life but finding out that he was disabled made him feel that there was no need.Now,looking back,he felt enraged.Marcelo had deceived him!Marcelo had made him think that he was a disabled loser while he secretly made moves.Gary felt like tearing down the whole house.He needed to go see his father.They needed to talk about how to eliminate Marcelo once and for all!They couldn’t let Marcelo get more powerful than this.As Gary went up to Paul’s study, he was about to knock when he heard Paul’s voice.“I am not getting any younger.And it pains me to r

    My love?Those words reeled through her head and she slowly pulled away from him and stared into his eyes.It wasn’t the first time he was calling her that but it made her heart ache as she wondered if he knew what that meant.“Do you even know what that means?”She asked,her voice hoarse from crying so much.Marcelo was confused.“What are you talking about?”“You shouldn’t call me your love.People don’t just randomly call people that.”She turned away from him as tears threatened again.“Renee,I’m not randomly calling you that.I called you that because…”“Why did you help her?”He blinked,surprised by her question again.“Help who?”“Stop playing dumb already.”She yelled as she stood up to her feet.“Do you know how hard she tried to ruin me?!She was aiming at ruining my career and I did my best,getting the jewelries and…and running around making sure everything went smoothly,do you have any idea how tired I was when I played the piano.Even if I was looking composed,doing so much that

    “No, it wasn't me!"Catherine blurted out in a knee-jerk reaction. But as she realized the undeniable truth in the surveillance footage, she quickly shifted her story. "I just lost my balance. It was an accident. I didn't mean to hit the table!"Renee was unaware of Catherine’s presence near the champagne tower since she was out of her line of sight. Now, she was convinced that Catherine had intended the incident.Marcelo, however, was uninterested in Catherine’s excuses.“I'm giving you a chance to apologize," he said sternly. He pointed to another champagne tower and instructed Catherine, "Go stand there and pull the table yourself."His demand wasn't unreasonable. He wanted Catherine to understand the potential harm she had nearly caused Renee.“No, I can't!"Catherine refused, shaking her head in terror and shielding her face.She feared the glass could cut her, potentially scarring her face. She then tried to shift the blame to Renee. "You weren't even hurt. You can't do this to me

    "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

  • Secret Wife, Real Billionaire   Chapter 173 No right

    Renee watched Vivian with a knowing smile.Vivian, unable to utter the words, bit her silver teeth and continued to gaze at Marcelo, silently begging for his help.Considering her relationship with his brother, Marcelo reassured, "It's okay not to call her that."If his brother were still alive and married to Vivian, they would have referred to Vivian as "sister-in-law."Renee’s smile stiffened slightly, but it didn't matter to her. She didn't need Vivian’s acknowledgment as "sister-in-law," and the thought of it even disgusted her.She didn’t want Marcelo and Vivian to be seen as siblings.She wanted Vivian to have nothing to do with her husband.Was that too much to ask?Meanwhile,Jessica showed a keen interest in the piece Renee had composed and started discussing it with her.Finding the conversation uninteresting, Marcelo decided to step out to the balcony for a smoke. Seizing the opportunity, Vivian followed him.“Marcelo, are you angry with me for siding with your father today?"

    Feeling a pit in her stomach,Renee was about to relinquish her hold when Marcelo spoke.“No, thank you." He refused Vivian directly.Marcelo waved in the direction of Damian, who was standing nearby. "Damian will keep you company.”Vivian and Damian were already acquainted.“Huh? Oh, sure. I'll take it from here,"Damian replied.He was startled at first, and then bewildered by the sudden task that was thrown in his face. But he didn't want Marcelo to leave Renee alone and go with another woman, so he agreed without a second thought.The smile froze on Vivian’s face, and her eyes darkened. She swallowed and quickly composed herself. "Well," she said, forcing another smile at Damian. "I'm afraid I will have to trouble you in the meantime."Damian paid no mind to her strained expression and carried on as he would with an old friend.“It's no trouble at all. We were just about to play dice, do you care to join us?Renee is quite good at it. Why don't you give it a try?"Damian offered.Wyat
