Chapter 52 Her husband’s wealth

That afternoon, Renee’s phone rang with news from the hospital.

The hospital staff informed her that Naomi had been discharged.

Rence expressed her gratitude and, still worried about Naomi, considered making plans to visit the Hudsons. However, her thoughts were interrupted by a call from Grace.

Grace invited her to dinner at the Hudsons‘ house.

A dinner invitation out of the blue?

Renee sensed there might be more to this than a simple meal with the Hudson family.

Everything and everyone had changed.

Renee’s face turned steely.

The maid announced, “Mrs. Hudson, Miss Hudson has arrived.”

Grace’s smile waned at the sight of Renee. Inspecting her from head to toe, she asked, “You came without anything?”

Renee simply nodded.

She had intentionally arrived without a gift.

Grace and Rocco didn’t merit anything more from her!

A scowl crossed Grace’s face. “How impolite!”
