Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1110

Mary let out a scream, collapsing against the wall. Startled, Zuko wanted to go and help her, but she kept avoiding him, trembling in fear.

"I-I'm sorry!" she stuttered, apologizing, "I didn't mean to! I promise I won't say it again, never again!"

Zuko furrowed his brows, sensing that Mary knew something more. He slowly crouched down, his gaze turning icy, and spoke each word deliberately. "Mrs. Nash, are you hiding something from me?"

"Huh?"

"Did you and my mother-in-law have another argument about Lina's birth?" Zuko asked, his intuition guiding him.

Mary's face turned pale as she lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze.

Zuko continued, his eyes narrowing. "If I'm not mistaken, you met my mother-in-law and mocked the fact that Lina was adopted, which led to the fight between you two."

After a moment, Mary timidly nodded.

Zuko's expression grew stern. "Why did you say that?"

"Z-Zeke..." Mary instantly gave in. "I had a selfish motive. I wanted to introduce my daughter to you and didn't want the Jenners to benefit... That's why I told you that they took Lina!

"But Zeke, what I said is true! You know, Lina's birth certificate is forged!"

Zuko's expression darkened. He felt like he was navigating a maze, getting closer to the exit. Mary's words only accelerated his progress.

"After Jesse returned from Centrolis that year, he had a meal and drank with my husband. He got drunk and revealed a lot... He said that the ship they were on, the Latitude, sank on their way back, but they managed to take Lina off the ship midway, escaping the disaster...

"Zeke, all of this is absolutely true! Jesse spoke the truth while drunk, which is why I'm so certain!"

Zuko remained impassive, his silence resembling an iceberg.

Mary struggled to get up from the floor, calling out "Zeke" tentatively. When she received no response, she quickly fled as if her life depended on it.
