Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1201

It was surprising that Gia turned out to be so cheap, and even more surprising was how easily she lured the project manager.

The information Jacob passed to Zuko consisted of voice recordings. After listening to them, Zuko chuckled and deduced, "The film studio project covers a significant area. These two individuals plan to convert a portion of it into a commercial residential area and use a shell company to profit from it!"

"That's correct." Jacob nodded. "However, based solely on these short conversations in the recordings, we can't draw a definite conclusion. We still need to gather more evidence."

"Alright," Zuko said in a deep voice, looking apologetic. "Then I'll have to inconvenience you a little longer..."

"Do we still need to be so formal with each other?" Jacob chuckled. "The one inconvenienced is Lina, having to face her every day."

"There's no need to worry about our Lina!" Zuko said with pride. "She's Uncle Nicholas' daughter and can have her way in the Thompson Group now!"

Goosebumps spread across Jacob as he watched Zuko boast about his girlfriend.

"Let's continue with our separate investigations then." Zuko lightly pursed his lips. "The film studio is a new project, so there are bound to be many opportunists. I suspect the manager is just a pawn, and the mastermind may be connected to the contractor."

"Alright." Jacob raised his wine glass and clinked it with Zuko's. "I'll continue sacrificing myself then!"

"Seriously, Gia hasn't taken advantage of you, has she?" Zuko asked.

"You..." Jacob widened his eyes, feeling the urge to hit him.

The singer on stage switched from melancholic blues to a cheerful song. The audience below was influenced by the joyful atmosphere, swaying along to the rhythm and cheering from time to time.

The two men playfully punched each other, behaving like children fooling around.

One week later, Jackie finally secured the endorsement contract. He was so excited that his hands trembled and his eyes sparkled.

"Darling!" He burst into the dressing room and nearly embraced Abigail, who was applying lipstick. "I knew you would figure it out!"

Abigail, however, remained calm, focusing on her makeup after a nonchalant glance at him.
