All Chapters of Married a Secret Billionaire: Chapter 1271 - Chapter 1280

"Have those kids been caught?" Zuko asked.Jill hesitated briefly, then smiled fawningly and nodded. "Yes, they've all been caught, not one missing. They're outside.""Let them come in," Zuko said."Okay." Jill gestured outside, and the kids were brought in.When Desiree saw them, her eyes glinted viciously. She was about to raise her hand to hit them but noticed Zuko nearby. She held back her impulse and retracted her hand.Zuko noticed her subtle move.He then looked at the kids. They appeared around 12 or 13 years old but seemed younger, closer to 8 or 9 years old, due to malnutrition. Their sharp and fierce gazes stunned Zuko.Children who grew up in a warm and loving environment would never have such a look.Zuko approached them slowly. The kids eyed him cautiously and stepped back."Do you know what you did wrong?" Zuko's voice was low and husky.The kids remained silent."Regardless of the circumstances, splashing dirty water on others is wrong. You're still kids. Did

"No, really, there's no need!" Desiree gritted her teeth and glared at Lina.She finally understood what was going on. It seemed that Lena had instructed those children, but they actually took orders from Lina.Her motive was clear—she wanted to draw the police into the situation. If the police got involved, they would uncover the dark secrets of the Harpers' charity foundation.Desiree seethed with anger but felt helpless against Lina. At this point, she could only find an excuse to escape."Zuko, Lina, this is just a small matter. It doesn't matter at all! Kids don't know better. How could I hold it against them?""But, Desiree...""Enough, I won't pursue this!" Desiree stood up abruptly and walked toward the exit. "I suddenly remembered that Grandma Janine has something to discuss with me today. I... I'll go back first!"The police officers were left puzzled."What's the meaning of this? You want to report the incident one moment and decide to stop pursuing it the next. Do y

Abigail pinched herself secretly to confirm she wasn't dreaming.Jacob held a plate with two pieces of dessert. He wore a gentle smile as he handed it to her."I wasn't sure which one you'd like, so I brought both," he said softly. "I've checked this one. It's low in sugar and won't make you gain weight. It's okay to have a little."Abigail couldn't hide her smile as their hands touched when she received the plate. Her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank.Jacob wasn't doing much better. He had impulsively stood up to defend her when he saw her surrounded by the press, but he worried he had done more harm than good.What if the troublesome reporters started writing fake stories about her, making her life even more difficult?He brought two desserts to make amends and handed them over. His heart started racing like never before when he accidentally brushed her hand.They both blushed and lowered their heads, unable to look at each other."T-Thank you for just now," Abig

Zuko turned to look at both of them. He didn't understand why, but Lena seemed particularly concerned about Lina.Despite sending people to investigate, they only discovered that Lena wasn't a local and had lost both her parents. No other valuable information was found.Zuko frowned slightly as he sensed something inexplicable in Lena's feelings toward Lina."Why are you lost in thought?" Lina squeezed his hand.Zuko smiled and replied, "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about which segment should come next.""Which segment?"Zuko gestured to his assistant.As the promotional video played, the mood suddenly shifted. Chaos erupted when several children splashed dirty water on Desiree. The camera then revealed the worn-down facilities inside the welfare home, where old and helpless residents sat in wheelchairs, their eyes filled with despair and hopelessness.The elderly were not properly cared for. The rooms were dim and damp, with mold on some walls. The backyard was overrun with

Janine's neck was scraped, and blood began to seep out.Albert took the gun from Desiree and pointed it at Janine's temple.This was his pre-planned move.Once his crimes were exposed, he would find a way to kidnap Janine or someone from the Hamertons to escape unharmed."Zephyr!" Albert raised his chin. "Order your people to step back!"Zephyr gnashed his teeth, his fists trembling.He didn't expect Albert to enter the venue with a gun despite their preparations. Passing security checks was beyond imagination!Cordelia discreetly held his hand. She realized there must be a traitor within the Hamertons collaborating with Albert. Unfortunately, they didn't have time to figure out who it was now.Zephyr reluctantly raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to step back."Not bad!" Albert sneered, dragging Janine toward the door.Cordelia stepped forward calmly. "Mr. Harper, it'll be hard to end things if we let it get out of hand. It'll be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
