Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Visiting Jessica

Catherine’s career had been soaring even if she was significantly talentless.

Thanks to her father, Rocco’s influence, her talent agency provided her with top–tier resources, positioning her alongside the company’s most prominent stars. Prestigious fashion brands were reaching out to her one after another overlooking the fact that she had no talents.

Shortly after she signed onto a leading variety show, Catherine encountered Celine.

“Catherine, you won’t believe who I saw today at KM Group’s studios. I was there for a magazine shoot.”

“Who?” Catherine disliked the suspense.

“It was Renee!“Celine, knowing Catherine’s animosity towards Renee, didn’t hesitate to divulge the information. “I asked around. She’s in the running to be KM Group’s new quarterly collaborative stylist and has made it to the final round!”

Catherine had thwarted Renee’s prospects multiple times, but this opportunity with KM Group was on another level.

Becoming the collaborative stylist for KM Group would undoubtedly elevate Renee’s status dramatically.

“What did you say? She’s in the final?“Catherine couldn’t believe it, her grip tightening around the fashion magazine until it crumpled in her hand.

How could Renee, of all people, be deemed worthy of such a prestigious opportunity?

Struggling to contain her shock and rage, Catherine took a deep breath and remembered a crucial detail.

STAR, a high–end jewelry brand under the KM Group umbrella, had recently shown interest in making her their spokesperson. The discussions, however, had stalled over pricing disagreements. This, Catherine realized, could be a perfect bargaining chip to use against Renee.

She had to ruin this for Renee!

*MARCELO*

I arrived home and saw no signs of Renee.

Did she leave the house again?

I called Chad and inquired about her whereabouts.

“Mrs. King is reading in her room, “Chad informed me.She seems deeply engrossed in preparation for an important interview in a few days.”

At the mention of the interview, my mind instantly conjured an image of Renee teetering around in her high heels, causing me to frown at her perceived recklessness.

“Mr. King, the sanatorium has contacted us again, “Chad interjected, bringing me back from my thoughts. “It seems Madam had another distressing episode last night.”

I swallowed hard. “Inform Renee that I’ll take her out tomorrow. And make sure the sanatorium is ready for our visit.”

“Understood, sir.”

I was somewhat surprised to learn from Chad that I was to accompany Marcelo the following day. We were to visit a venerable elder, and I understood the importance of making a good impression…

I chose my outfit thoughtfully: light, flowing wide–leg pants paired with a simple camisole and a loose–knit sweater draped over as a refined outer layer. The ensemble was designed to convey a sense of gentle elegance, something I hoped the elder would find pleasing.

As I was about to slip into her high heels, my wrist was suddenly caught.

“Choose another pair,” Marcelo instructed, nodding towards a different pair of shoes.

I glanced at the flat Gucci leather slippers he indicated.

Shaking my head, I protested, “These don’t match my outfit today.”

Marcelo’s raised eyebrows and silent stare conveyed an unspoken authority.

“Mr. King, why are you so concerned about this minor wound?” I sighed, feeling the scabbed–over injury was hardly a concern.

“I am being concerned about my savior,” Marcelo stated flatly, his expression unreadable.

On hearing him refer to me as his “savior,” I couldn’t help but sense a hint of sarcasm.
