Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 231 Without any disruption

Renee regretted her decision to join the show without thoroughly checking the guest list.

She would have preferred another year of free classes at her alma mater over participating in this show.

“Miss Hudson, do you know her?” The host noticed Renee’s sudden change in demeanor.

“Yes, we have a personal issue,” Renee responded indifferently, locking her phone screen. She leaned back casually and added, “I’ll address the audience after her segment.”

Her intention was clear: she wanted to witness Vivian’s discomfort.

The host was left speechless by her frankness.

True to her word, Renee refrained from logging into T*****r until Vivian’s segment concluded.

Upon checking, she noticed a tweet from Damian mentioning her in a trending post.

Renee was puzzled.

Damian’s tweet read: “She is my friend’s wife. The speculation that she is my mistress is ridiculous! Reporters and bloggers, please don’t throw out unfounded words! Thank you!”

His words radiated a desperate plea for understanding.

It was apparent that netizens speculated about an affair between him and Renee.

Renee began to type a response. “Hello, everyone, I’m Renee. I’d like to address some concerns. Firstly, I am married, but not to Damian. He’s young; let’s not rob him of his chance to find love. Secondly, Ivan is busy with college entrance exams and can’t engage with his fans right now.

He’s been performing well, and I want to express his gratitude to all his supporters and friends. Thirdly, my husband isn’t a public figure and prefers to stay out of the limelight, so I’d appreciate it if the focus could be on my work. Thank you!”

After posting her message, Renee set her phone aside, choosing to ignore any further notifications. The prospect of spending five days with Vivian weighed heavily on her, casting a shadow over her mood.

The host, glancing at Renee, continued to monitor the online situation. Despite her presence, he seemed compelled to keep abreast of the latest developments.

Renee’s response effectively reduced the livestream’s viewership to four million, a number that continued to dwindle.

Meanwhile, T*****r was abuzz with conversation.

“Ivan looked so stressed today. Clearly, the exams are taking a toll on him!”

“Top in video games, but no escape from the college exams! Having an accomplished sister–in–law must add to the pressure.”

“I think Renee’s husband warned Damian…but that’s just speculation.”

“I love how she refers to her husband. They must be a close couple.”

“Who is her husband, anyway? An older man, maybe over fifty?”

“Yuck, no way. Damian calls him ‘friend‘, so he can’t be that old.”

If Renee were to continue following online chatter, she’d notice there was always someone casting aspersions on her character.

Upon landing in Glostin, Renee headed for a private island near the coast, where the event would take place. She was to travel there by yacht from the dock.

At the wharf, she was the third guest to arrive.

From afar, she spotted a familiar face.

“Sarah! Why are you here?” she exclaimed, rushing over to embrace her warmly.

Sarah revealed her role in the program,

“I’m a top–tier auctioneer and an expert in collectibles!” Auctioneering and connoisseurship were niche professions, demanding not just a keen aesthetic sense and deep knowledge of collections but also substantial resources to acquire such expertise.

It was a field where talent and wealth were equally crucial.

“Why didn’t you mention you were coming?” Renee inquired.

“I replaced another guest,” Sarah admitted. “I was concerned about you dealing with Vivian, not about being bullied, but more about being repulsed by her,” she added in a lower tone.

Curious, Renee asked, “How did you manage to replace someone?” She faintly remembered that the Curtis family wasn’t connected to anyone in the entertainment world.

Sarah touched her nose, answering, “Marvin helped me.”
