Secret Wife Real Billionaire (by Ela) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 In a bad mood

Renee had shared with Marcelo that she first encountered Kristopher near the Hudson family’s villa, and interestingly, Kristopher mentioned he had an apartment in the same neighborhood.

According to the investigation, they had never met before. Additionally, there wasn’t a house near the Hudson family’s area owned by Kristopher. The only villa that remained vacant throughout the year belonged to a foreign businessman.

Renee had no reason to fabricate such a story.

Thus, the only logical explanation was Kristopher’s deliberate removal of evidence of his proximity to her!

Marcelo’s focus narrowed on a particular note.

Social connections pending verification: Hostility exists between Kristopher’s father and the Lambert family.

On the island.

“Would you prefer separate accommodation?” Renee asked, “I could discuss it with Garfield.” Kristopher couldn’t help but smile even wider as he gazed at her lovely face illuminated by the moonlight.

“Perhaps I should start by expressing gratitude to you, the owner of the island?” ”

“You… How did you know?” She asked in surprise.

“Garfield calls you Miss and your friend Miss Curtis,” Kristopher remarked.

The differing addresses hinted at the varying levels of closeness Garfield shared with them.

Renee couldn’t resist a chuckle.

However, she wasn’t aware of the shy smile that graced her lips at that instant.

The smile reminded Kristopher of when she clinched the gold prize and received accolades during her younger days.

Little did she realize the depth of his feelings for her and how every minute detail of her youth was cherished and safeguarded in his heart and memory.

“Can you keep it a secret?” asked Renee, interrupting his thoughts.

With a playful grin, Kristopher joked, “Will hush money be involved?”

Renee paused, placing a finger on her chin as if pondering, but her phone rang with a video call before she could respond.

“Hold that thought. I have to take this call.”

Turning away, Renee slipped on her earphones and answered the video chat.

Kristopher caught a glimpse of a man’s face on Renee’s phone screen.

It was Marcelo!

His expression darkened abruptly.

“Renee, have you forgotten something?” Marcelo asked, looking slightly vexed on the other end of the video

chat.

“What do you mean?” Renee furrowed her brow, puzzled.

Marcelo pursed his lips. “A little liar said she would call me!”

“But we just spoke on the phone today, didn’t we?” She defended herself, rejecting the “liar” label.

He looked furious as if daring her to repeat that statement.

Renee cleared her throat and touched her nose. She decided it was best not to argue with him. Besides, Marcelo took the initiative to video call with her, and she was delighted.

“Are you still at the office?” Renee noticed the massive projector screen behind Marcelo.

“Yeah.” He clicked his tongue, adding, “While I’m making money, you’re having a blast behind my back.”

“Having a blast behind your back?” She retorted confidently, “Everything is above board! Look, the beach here at night is breathtaking, isn’t it?”

Marcelo was rendered speechless.

Renee then intentionally switched to the back camera and revealed the island’s beautiful scenery to him, showing him all the different perspectives.

However, Marcelo wasn’t paying much attention to the scenery. His focus was on Kristopher behind Renee.

As Renee moved her phone around, Marcelo and Kristopher made eye contact for a moment, with Kristopher having been staring at Renee.

In that brief moment, hostility emanated from both their gazes.

“Beautiful, right? I’ll bring you here so you can enjoy it as well when you’re free, okay?” A gleam of joy sparkled in Renee’s eyes.

After all, it was her island!

“Sure, I’d like that,” Marcelo agreed immediately.

His quick response surprised her.

She almost felt as if he would be coming there soon.

“By the way, I bumped into Kristopher here,” she said, lowering her voice as Kristopher was nearby.

“You should stay away from him,” Marcelo warned.

“Why?”

“Because he generously gave you hundreds of millions of dollars for no apparent reason, Renee. Not many would do such a thing.”

Marcelo was reserved about discussing the matter in depth with her. He was still conducting an investigation into Kristopher’s situation.

Renee wanted to say that it wasn’t for no reason.

Besides, compared to the amount that Kristopher spent at the auction house for her, Marcelo’s gesture of purchasing a set of emeralds for billions of dollars when they were newlyweds was far more remarkable.

Of course, she couldn’t say that to him.

Otherwise, it would infuriate Marcelo.

“Renee!” Marcelo called out suddenly, his expression displeased as he received no response.

“Ah, got it!” She shifted her camera toward the distant crowd. “Did you know that Vivian is here too?”

“Yes,” Marcelo acknowledged.

The King family endorsed her with experience and a substantial portfolio. They seized the chance to elevate her reputation and make her a household name in the country.

“Marcelo, I’m on the same TV show as her. If we have a disagreement, don’t hold it against me for not being nice to her,” Renee asserted.

In fact, Renee remained convinced that she and Vivian would not be able to see eye to eye at all.
