Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1178

Lina was taken aback when she saw the tall and poised lawyer approaching her with a sunny smile. Her heart sank at the sight.

Gia leaned against Jacob's shoulder, exuding both sweetness and a hint of arrogance.

Taking a deep breath, Lina needed a moment to adjust to this sudden change.

"Hello," Jacob greeted her. "I'm Jacob Welsh. We've met before in Jangasas, and…"

He paused, smiling gently. "Someone must have mentioned me to you, right?"

Lina hesitated, forcing a smile. "Yes, I remember."

"Any misunderstandings we had before are cleared up, right?"

"Huh?" Lina was once again taken aback, realizing that when she didn't know Zuko's identity, she had assumed Jacob, the handsome lawyer looking for him, was involved in some special profession. She had even assumed Jacob wanted to recruit Zuko.

Lina couldn't help but giggle.

"Now that the masks are off, we can get to know each other again," Jacob said, standing tall and radiant.

However, his "getting to know each other again" surprised her.

"I'm a lawyer, and my family has some influence," Jacob said modestly. "I'm also someone's close friend!"

"And he's my boyfriend!" Gia interjected, hooking her arm around Jacob's neck.

Jacob discreetly removed her arm, and Lina felt a sense of unease. She didn't want to be a third wheel and quickly found an excuse to slip away.

As Lina walked away, she heard Gia calling out to her, "Lina!"

"What is it?" Lina gritted her teeth, barely turning her head. "I don't want to take up too much work time, and it seems like you're very happy!"

"You don't seem happy." Gia crossed her arms, chuckling. "Jacob wants to treat you to lunch and have a good chat. Shall we go together?"
