Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

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.

After more than a month away, Renee returned to the Hudson family villa. It felt like a place she once knew well, yet now it seemed alien.

Everything and everyone had changed.

A maid escorted Rence inside.

“Can you believe it? Nana made a killing from this illness! Grace was gleefully counting money in the living room, toggling between a calculator and jotting down notes “Look at this one, only twenty thousand. Stingy, right?

And this person sent so much nourishment. I’ll send it up to your room later, Catherine.”

“Thanks, Mom!“Catherine, seated beside Grace, smiled, helping with the tally.

This bout of Naomi’s illness had become an unexpected windfall for them, judging by the sympathy gifts amassed

so they decided to start taking care of her in hopes that people would continue gifting her stuff.

But no one knew that the anonymous person who send gifts and money was Marcelo.

And he did that all because of Renee,

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!”
