Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Chapter 234 In a bad mood

Renee had shared with Marcelo that she first encountered Kristopher near the Hudson family’s villa, and interestingly, Kristopher mentioned he had an apartment in the same neighborhood.

According to the investigation, they had never met before. Additionally, there wasn’t a house near the Hudson family’s area owned by Kristopher. The only villa that remained vacant throughout the year belonged to a foreign businessman.

Renee had no reason to fabricate such a story.

Thus, the only logical explanation was Kristopher’s deliberate removal of evidence of his proximity to her!

Marcelo’s focus narrowed on a particular note.

Social connections pending verification: Hostility exists between Kristopher’s father and the Lambert family.

On the island.

“Would you prefer separate accommodation?” Renee asked, “I could discuss it with Garfield.” Kristopher couldn’t help but smile even wider as he gazed at her lovely face illuminated by the moonlight.

“Perhaps I should start by expressing gratitude to you, the owner of the island?” ”

“You… How did you know?” She asked in surprise.

“Garfield calls you Miss and your friend Miss Curtis,” Kristopher remarked.

The differing addresses hinted at the varying levels of closeness Garfield shared with them.

Renee couldn’t resist a chuckle.

However, she wasn’t aware of the shy smile that graced her lips at that instant.

The smile reminded Kristopher of when she clinched the gold prize and received accolades during her younger days.

Little did she realize the depth of his feelings for her and how every minute detail of her youth was cherished and safeguarded in his heart and memory.

“Can you keep it a secret?” asked Renee, interrupting his thoughts.

With a playful grin, Kristopher joked, “Will hush money be involved?”

Renee paused, placing a finger on her chin as if pondering, but her phone rang with a video call before she could respond.

“Hold that thought. I have to take this call.”

Turning away, Renee slipped on her earphones and answered the video chat.
