Secret Wife, Real Billionaire

Jonah, now racing against time, began calling various contacts to secure alternative jewelry. He was too occupied to confront Vivian about her actions. Meanwhile, Renee stepped aside and dialed Vivian's number.

"Miss Lambert, this is Renee," she said as soon as the call connected.

"Miss Hudson? How did you get my contact? Did Marcelo give it to you?"Vivian sounded suspicious.

"You called me to plead for Herman once, remember? I saved your number after that call."Renee was irked by Vivian's mention of Marcelo.

"I see. Do you need something, Miss Hudson?"Vivian's tone was deliberate, though she was already aware of why Renee was calling, having been briefed by her agent.

Renee didn't want to waste time with pleasantries. "Miss Lambert, I'm leading the styling for this Light show. I just heard about your abrupt contract breach. You've worked with Light three times before. If there's a mismatch in design style or concept, why were the past collaborations successful?"

"The previous times were indeed fine, "Vivian responded, hinting at something else.

Renee, looking down at the carpet, chuckled softly. Her voice took on a colder edge. "Is it because I'm involved this time?"

"Miss Hudson, my lawyer will handle the negotiations with Light for the breach of contract compensation. This is not something a stylist like you should concern yourself with,"Vivian replied.

She dodged Renee's question, firmly refusing to give Renee any leverage over her.

While her words were proper on the surface, Vivian and Renee were both aware of why Vivian did what she did.
