All Chapters of Secret Wife, Real Billionaire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Catherine, who became a well-known figure in the entertainment industry after being recognized as the true daughter of the influential Hudson family, faced intense scrutiny.When news broke that she lost the STAR Jewelry endorsement from KM Group, the media and netizens were quick to react.Netizens mocked her online. "Just two days ago, she boasted about securing the endorsement, and now it's just a dream."“Catherine, the rich heiress, right? Maybe her parents can fix this. Hahaha!""Here's a funny story. Catherine claimed she secured the endorsement of the upscale jewelry brand STAR.""How can Catherine be so shameless? Going so far as pretending to be STAR’s spokesperson?"Reading these comments,Catherine furiously smashed her phone.Her agent let out a resigned sigh, instructed Catherine’s assistant to get a new phone, and tried to console her. "Ignore the comments. The internet's memory is short. They'll move on.""Why don't we suppress these comments?"Catherine asked, frustrate

*RENEE*"I wasn't on a date with him! Hold on, have you been having me followed?"My eyes widened in disbelief.How else could Marcelo have known about my encounter with Andrew?Suddenly, I felt herself being lifted effortlessly by Marcelo.My world spun, and before I knew it, I was pushed against the sofa.My body twisted uncomfortably, but it was his firm grip on my jaw that truly unsettled me.I felt trapped, like a bird ensnared."You regret marrying me,huh?”His voice was cold, his face dangerously close to mine. "Can't get over him? You felt forced into this marriage? Marrying me only because he betrayed you? Is that it, Renee?""Having me followed?"I was incredulous and furious. "Marcelo, have you no respect for privacy?"Anger filled me, intensifying her frustration.His own anger manifested in chilling calmness. "Upset because you're embarrassed?"“What the fuck..."I scoffed at the absurd

*RENEE*From the initial consultations to the preoperative preparations, and finally the surgery itself, everything was expedited efficiently.By ten o'clock that evening, the operating room door opened.The surgeon, clad in a green gown, removed his mask, revealing features that resembled Damian’s but with a more mature and scholarly air. His gold-rimmed glasses added to his refined appearance."Mr. Moore..."Before I could inquire,Wyatt interjected, "The surgery was a success."This prompt response addressed the concerns I had.I let out a sigh of relief, my prolonged tension dissipating as if I had been reborn.“Mr. Moore, I can't thank you enough for stepping in. Without Professor Wells, you were my only hope for Grandma,"Renee said, gratitude evident in her voice.“If you want to express thanks, you should thank your husband.It was indeed a rare occurrence for him to ask for my help,"Wyatt suggeste

*RENEE*Upon hearing words, I paused, momentarily taken aback. Then, it dawned on me that he was referring to me nearly losing my temper in front of Catherine just now.I haven’t yet decided how to respond.In that earlier encounter, whatever I might have said would have been to my disadvantage. The focus had shifted to me, an outsider, accused of usurping Catherine’s life.Catherine, as the legitimate Hudson heiress, naturally held the upper hand.Marcelo stepping in had been a reprieve for me.And now he wanted me to teach Catherine a lesson.I smiled.He was on my side.It was quite touching because I’ve never really had anyone on my side before.I looked at him and murmured quietly, "Thank you."I was also grateful he hadn't publicly embarrassed me that night at Dove Island club before so many eyes.It was surprising that he actually had some good in him.***********************MARCELO*I merely snorted in response.Thanking me?Her gratitude seemed like an afterthought to me.I o

************Ten minutes later.Renee sat in the back of the Maybach, her hands placed demurely on her knees, resembling a child caught in a misdeed."So, Mrs. King, was that your idea of a discussion?" Marcelo’s fingers drummed on the armrest.Renee, rolling her eyes, muttered, "Didn’t you leave?""I returned to fetch my wife," retorted Marcelo.But Renee was skeptical.She shot him a doubtful look, unconvinced by his pretext.In their sham marriage, trust was a luxury, and she suspected his true motive was to keep her away from Andrew."Well, I intended to have a constructive conversation with Catherine," She explained, redirecting the conversation and justifying her actions. "However, she was uncooperative, so I had to resort to that."Marcelo knew Renee was a woman of strong will and that intrigued him a lot.Catherine always ended up overpowered in Renee’s presence.Yet now, Renee portrayed herself as having no other option, sounding almost wronged.She was such a mischievous lia
