Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Desiree turned pale and trembled involuntarily, struck by fear at the sight of Lena’s icy face. It brought back memories of the time she was held at gunpoint.

She screamed and sought refuge behind Zuko, her voice trembling as she told him, “Zuko, she… She’s a hitman from the Thompsons! She almost helped Lina kill me last time in the restroom at the bar!”

Zuko raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, “Last time at the bar? How did you provoke Lina to almost get yourself killed?”

“I…” Desiree couldn’t find the words to explain.

Her hand still clutched Zuko’s clothes, but he shook her off firmly.

Lena smirked.

In her desperation, Desiree cried out, “Zuko, you have to believe me! S-She knows how to use a gun! And she’s with Lina… Yes, they must’ve conspired together to instigate these kids to splash dirty water on me! It must be!”

Zuko’s gaze turned ruthless. “Are you so sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure!”

“In that case, let’s call the police.”

“What?” Desiree was stunned.

“I said, since you suspect someone is conspiring and intentionally trying to harm you, why not report it to the police and let them handle the matter?”

Desiree looked up and met Zuko’s cold eyes.

Suddenly, she came to her senses.

What was she doing just now? Crying and making a scene would not solve the problem. It would only make Zuko detest her more!

Moreover, she couldn’t get the police involved. Getting splashed with dirty water was a minor issue. If the police were involved and discovered the charity fund’s flow, it could become a major problem!
