Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1251

Lina heard everything they said, and it hit her hard. Their stares felt like knives cutting into her face. Instinctively, she glanced at Desiree, who appeared quite intoxicated, lazily leaning on the couch.

Desiree was looking back at her, and they locked eyes.

Lina saw a clear, gloating expression in Desiree's gaze. Now, she understood the intent behind Desiree's actions.

Desiree had defamed her and suppressed her, using Nicholas' unsavory past as a gangster to keep influential people away from Lina. This way, she couldn't interact with those important connections anymore.

If things went according to Desiree's plan, Lina would be humiliated and angry.

Lina remained composed, trying not to lose her temper, but the others were crossing the line, especially under the influence of alcohol.

Desiree also joined in, seemingly drunk, but Lina suspected she was fully aware of her actions.

Lina chuckled, looking at Desiree. "It seems we won't be able to proceed with our collaboration. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing the business list."

"Oh, Lina, did I say something wrong?" Desiree quickly stood up and apologized. "I tend to talk nonsense when I'm drunk. Please don't take it personally!"

The others remained silent, unsure of what to say.

However, as soon as they entered, Lina used her foot to slam the door shut. She stood before Desiree, her eyes and expression cold and unreadable.

Desiree trembled. "Lina, you..."

"Come here, Desiree!" Lina approached her with intensity. "I have a gift for you. There were too many people out there, so I couldn't bring it with me. It's in my bag. Can you guess what it is?"

Suspicious, Desiree cautiously reached into Lina's bag and felt something cold and hard—a grip of some kind, like that of a gun!

Her eyes widened, and she noticed an unexpected hint of fierceness in Lina's gaze, something far beyond what one would expect from a young girl.
