RENEE

I frowned, “What are you talking about?”

“Of course I already know that you aren’t related to Naomi and I also know you take her as your Grandmother.Catherine told her that you tied the knot with Marcelo because of her. After getting married, you became Marcelo’s slave, a laughingstock in the social circul Naomi, all anxious, rushed to see you.”

Andrew’s words slithered in, injecting venom into my heart and squeezing the air out of me.

“Renee,the truth is, you hurt Naomi!!

Andrew had sought me out for this very reason, he knew what had happened from the start. It was no coincidence that he came driving around KM Group knowing I would come running out and that I would need a ride.

Otherwise, how could there have been such a coincidental encounter where I happened to bump into him?

My lips quivered as I asked, “How… How could Catherine stoop so low?”

Naomi didn’t deserve this!Naomi had also taken good care of Catherine.

Even if their ties weren’t tight, Catherine shouldn’t have been so cruel to an elderly woman.

In a sudden epiphany, I recalled Catherine’s phone call.

Catherine hoped that I would regret what I had done.

Little did I expect that she would harm an elderly woman.

“Renee, we both know why you married Marcelo,” Andrew continued, reveling in my disarray. “You were compelled to marry that loser to square off the Hudson family’s debt.”

I stared up at him,angrily.

“True, I was compelled, “I retorted, finding the situation absurd. “And where were you when I was being pushed into wedlock by the Hudson family? Busy bedding another woman!”

Forced or not, Marcelo was a far better choice than this scoundrel.

*MARCELO*

A few meters away, at the corner.

I observed Renee with my cousin, or rather, with her ex–fiancé, holding hands!

What the hell!

So, Renee wasn’t just pressured into marrying me,she also had her heart broken by Andrew’s infidelity.

Renee married me out of necessity, not deserving to be treated like this.

1 turned around and left.

Luke was waiting for me by the car.

Seeing me descending, Luke rushed over. “Mr. King, it’s only been ten minutes. Why the hasty exit? Where is Mrs King?”

Luke glanced over my shoulder as he spoke, but he obviously didn’t see Rence. Shut up! Don’t talk about her to me! “I snapped as I got into my Maybach.

Upon hearing about Renee’s hospital visit, Marcelo swiftly left the party and hurried over, even though he was already near the banquet hall gate.

This was the first time Luke saw him ditching an engagement for

a woman last minute.

As a result, Marcelo took a trip to the in–patient department, and now he was all fired up.

Luke couldn’t put his finger on what set Marcelo off, but he sensed it had something to do with Renee.
