Renee didn’t care about her image but she was worried about bringing shame to the school.

Marcelo was planning to question Rence. However, he noticed her glum expression just as he was about to speak. Her head was down, and she looked sad and dejected.

Before he could stop himself, his hand was already on hers, comforting her.

Puzzled, Renee looked up at him, taken aback by the sudden gesture of tenderness.

“Mrs.King, is there something you haven’t told me?“Marcelo questioned.

“What?” Renee asked, wracking her brain.

“That someone introduced you to a man?” he reminded her.

Two seconds later, Renee’s recollection flooded back.

“Herman is Maggie’s nephew. Maggie once envisioned a marriage between Herman and me,” she revealed.

As Marcelo’s countenance darkened swiftly,Renee continued deliberately,

“However, that’s not the crux of the matter. Maggie wishes to introduce me to Herman because her daughter has taken a liking

to you. Maggie simply wants me to step aside and allow her daughter to marry you.”

Observing Marcelo’s expression, Renee noted that his demeanor remained as icy as before.

“Did you not catch that? Her daughter admires you and desires to marry you.” Renee prodded Marcelo’s chest.

He took her hand and inquired, “Who is her daughter?”

Renee was momentarily speechless.

Laura Herod! Didn’t Marcelo know her?

There was only one Herod family in the circle, and Laura was renowned for her beauty and spoiled disposition.

Renee couldn’t believe that Marcelo was oblivious to Laura’s existence.

Without uttering a word,Marcelo suddenly reached for Renee’s neck.

“What are you doing?” Renee instinctively recoiled.

“Stay stili.”

Marcelo’s hands delved into the high collar of her sweater, extracting a platinum necklace adorned with a ring.

The metallic texture grazed Renee’s skin. As he leaned closer, drawing them into proximity. His breath enveloped her forehead, and she didn’t dare to move.

Marcelo removed the diamond ring from the necklace and slipped it back onto the ring finger of Renee’s right hand.

He lightly tapped her forehead and admonished her, “Mrs. King, learn to wield your legal identity.”

Renee’s heart raced.

She detected warmth and tenderness in Marcelo’s words.

Internally, she expressed her gratitude. “Thank you.”

At the police station, Herman’s complexion turned ashen. His family was in disarray, and no one seemed to care about him.
