Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Zuko looked at Nicholas again. “By the way, Dad, my parents have a gift for you. It’s a bottle of fine wine. It’s in my car, and they nagged me to hand it to you. How about you come with us to my car?”

Nicholas and Linda agreed with enthusiasm.

As Zuko led them out of the living room, he exchanged a glance with Lina.

She understood and continued chatting with Kaitlyn.

“Regarding what we were talking about earlier…” Kaitlyn stopped briefly, speaking in a hushed tone. “Lina, that girl Lena who lives in your house… she’s frequently near the study area. She even had a disagreement with me about it recently. Does that not strike you as odd?”

“Lenny?”

“Mom!” Renee sounded a bit anxious. “What are you saying?”

“It’s just a casual chat!” Kaitlyn chuckled. “I always think these things get out because of someone from within. Our own family wouldn’t betray us, but you can’t be sure about outsiders!”

“Mom!” Renee looked at her mom, then apologized to Lina. “Lina, my mom didn’t mean it seriously. Don’t take it personally!”

Before Lina could respond, she saw Lena standing nearby with a plate of fruit. Lina’s heart tightened.

Lena remained distant as usual, her face showing no emotion. As she set the fruit plate on the table, she glanced at Kaitlyn and said icily, “It takes one to know one.”
