Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1257

The venue went silent for a second before loud applause erupted.

The celebrities had seen it all, having been in all sorts of movies and dramas. But they had never seen anything so sweet as what Zuko had just done for Lina.

They applauded, whether out of genuine appreciation or simply to go along with the crowd. But no one wanted to miss the opportunity to offer their sincere congratulations.

Zuko and Lina began to dance. After taking off her heels, Lina felt lighter on her feet. Although she wasn't much of a dancer, Zuko's presence helped to calm her nerves.

They made a handsome couple, and their graceful movements drew countless admiring glances.

After the dance, they retired to the VIP room to discuss the future of the film studio. But their conversation was interrupted by Renee, who burst into the room in a panic.

"Cuz!" she cried.

Lina was startled. "What's wrong?"

Renee was so flustered that she could barely speak.

Toph followed close behind, his expression grave. "There's been an accident," he said urgently. "A number of celebrities have fallen ill, with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Even some of the reporters have been affected."

Lina's face lost color.

"What?" she asked. "But how is that possible?"

"I don't know," Toph said. "But someone called for an ambulance, and one of the celebrities' agents called the police. They're probably on their way here."

Lina felt a knot of tension in her stomach.

No matter how much trouble this might cause, she knew she had to handle it calmly and effectively. But with so many public figures involved, the best course of action was to minimize the damage and prevent the news from spreading.

She said, "Renee, please take my parents home. Tell them I'll be there soon and that they shouldn't worry."

"Yes," Renee said. "I'll also send the elders and the senior staff home."
