Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1262

Lena asked, "Why did you give me money?"

Lina was taken aback.

"Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean anything else—" Lena interrupted her before she could end her sentence.

"I asked, why did you give me money?" Lena's voice was clear and firm, showing maturity beyond her years.

Lina took a deep breath. "I wanted to thank you for helping me out in the restroom last time."

Lena remained silent but pushed the money back into Lina's hands. "No need to thank me."

As Lena turned to leave, Lina wanted to call her back. But Lena stopped and turned around again. A gust of wind lifted the brim of her cap, finally allowing Lina to see her face clearly.

Lena was pretty, with a touch of youthful intelligence in her expression, but her eyes carried a sense of world-weariness beyond her years.

"If you ever encounter trouble again, you can find me to help you," Lena said.

"But... don't I need to know your name and how to contact you?" Lina asked.

Lena chuckled. "After we met last time, didn't you investigate me? You claimed not to know my name."

Lina and Zuko exchanged glances, realizing they had met their match.

The best approach when dealing with a strong-willed opponent was to be straightforward, so Lina said directly, "I did investigate you, mainly because I was curious why you helped me. Also... I didn't find out anything about you, except that your name is Lena."

Lena paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Her smile was innocent and mischievous, like a child who had just succeeded in playing a prank. "I didn't expect that even people like you sometimes fail to find information about others. I thought you had an extensive network!"
