Married a Secret Billionaire

Wendy did not understand what happened, but hearing Renee’s question made her feel that something was amiss. Hence, she did not say more.

After hanging up, Renee was even more convinced that Arya had taught Toph. Otherwise, why would he suddenly buy her a set of lipsticks? How would he know about her lack of security? How would he talk about keeping a distance from other girls?

“It must be Arya…” Renee clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white and her hand trembling slightly.

They must have met, and Arya must have told Toph more things. Her words must really be influential since he remembered them so well!

A lump formed in Renee’s chest, and tears welled up in her eyes. She turned to look at the cosmetics that Toph had sent. Those neatly arranged lipsticks in their box seemed like mocking crimson eyes, ridiculing her insecurity and her shameful background.

The last shred of security she held onto was completely shattered.

“Ah!” A headache struck Renee. She knocked over the box of lipsticks, which scattered on the floor, and kicked them in frustration.

Chris visited the Thompson Group’s real estate sales center. He had intended to give Lena the set of lipsticks but chose to watch her sell properties when he noticed her standing there as a salesperson. She was wearing a shirt, pants, and her work badge.

After observing for a while, he finally understood why she had not made any sales for over a month.

Chris could not help but feel amused and exasperated. He waited at the entrance until Lena got off work.

Lena had been standing all day and felt completely worn out. As she stepped outside, a large hand suddenly grabbed her. Her initial instinct was to pull away, but when she looked up, she met Chris’ kind and gentle gaze.

“Tired?” Chris smiled gently. “Come with me to a place where you can relax.”

Lena had yet to fully process the situation when she was pulled into a car. They sped away and ended up at Chris’ downtown apartment.
