Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 25

Catherine’s face contorted in shock.

She had locked Renee in the room. How did Renee get out?

And where was the effect of the drug she had used?

Renee looked perfectly okay.

As Catherine pondered this, she began to feel unusually warm, attributing it to her mounting frustration.

“Rence isn’t in there. She’s with Marcelo?” someone in the crowd whispered.

“Can someone explain what’s going on?“Bence asked, maintaining her composure.

Felicia’s gaze bore Into Renee. “Catherine said she saw you enter that man’s room. Such behavior is unacceptable in our family. We had to come out and investigate!”

The accusation of infidelity was almost explicit, aiming to disgrace both Renee a and Marcelo

“So, what did your investigation reveal?“Renee asked, her voice steady,

“Why weren’t you in the room as Miss Hudson claimed?“Gary inquired, his eyes searching Renee’s face for any telltale signs.

Renee shot back, “I’m curious myself. Why would Catherine say I was to that room?Catherine, explain this clearly to us.”

All eyes now turned to Catherine, the instigator of the drama.

Catherine’s forehead grew hot with anger as she focated her glare on one. “I saw you going into this room with my own eyes,” she insisted,

“Really?” Renee’s gaze shifted to Marcelo, her fingers lightly pinching his shoulder. “But I’ve been in our bedroom with my husband the entire time,”

The pinch was a discreet cue and a subtle warning to Marcelo.

If he didn’t play nice, he’d be seen as a cuck

Marcelo, however, seemed more intrigued by her use of the words “my husband.”

The words stirred something in him, a feeling he had never felt before.

“About ten minutes ago, a maid brought clothes for my wife, She’s been with me all evening.“Marcelo interjected, effectively ending the debate.

This detail, backed by a witness, confirmed Renee’s presence in their room earlier.

Whispers spread among the onlookers. “Why did she need clothes this late at night?”

Had they gotten too excited and inexplicitly run out of clothes to wear?

Andrew’s frustration simmered.

Renee’s apparent closeness to Marcelo, especially so soon after their marriage, felt like a direct affront to him, her former fiance.

Unaware of the misconceptions swirling around her, Renee calmly faced Catherine. “Miss Hudson, I’ve been with my husband in our room, and the maid

can vouch for that. You claim I should be here, though. So, who’s mistaken? My husband and the maid, or your eyesight? Huh?”

“L..“Catherine hesitated, not daring to assert that Marcelo had colluded with the maid to deceive them.

Yet, it was unmistakable She had locked Renee in that room!

Catherine’s thoughts swirled in confusion. A fiery sensation overtook her, her breathing turned shallow and quick, and a strange urge to disrobe overwhelmed her.

Suddenly, her gaze collided with Marcelo, who sat emotionless in his wheelchair. His eyes were icy, devoid of any empathy, as if he were observing someone condemned

A shiver crept up her spine.

The chill was swiftly replaced by an intense heat, grawing at her very sanity.

Something was amiss with her.

She suddenly felt so hot and bothered.

“Catherine what’s happening? Explain yourself!” Andrew’s patience was fraying

All eyes were on her, anticipating her response.

“L.. perhaps I was mistaken.“Catherine had no choice but to bear the humillation.

“Miss Hodson, you usually have sharp vision. How could you be mistaken? Weren’t you just accusing me of infidelity with such conviction?“Rerice

wasn’t about to let her off the hook.

“L.. It was dien, and I couldn’t see that well” If it wasn’t for the crowd, Catherine would have slapped Renee by now.
