Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1308

Renee held Lina's hand earnestly and said, "Lina, I apologize for not working on those new projects with you."

Lina smiled and replied, "No need to be so formal with me."

She had planned to tell Renee about the completed engineering drawings and ask for help with cost calculations, but she stopped herself.

After all, Renee had already resigned and was no longer part of the Thompson Group. The information about the sketches and cost calculations was considered confidential. Even though Lina trusted Renee, she wanted to establish a clear boundary on such matters.

When Renee returned home, she saw Kaitlyn sitting motionless on the sofa. It saddened her.

Ever since Kaitlyn returned from the hospital, she had developed a habit of sitting like this, often wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat or pulling the hood up on her sweatshirt.

Renee didn't understand what had happened. Her mother used to be affectionate and loved hugging her. Even as Renee grew older, their bond remained strong. However, after the hospital stay and surgery, her mother had changed completely.

"Mom, I'm back," Renee said with a smile, trying to approach her gently. "I've resigned from my job."

"Oh?" Kaitlyn blinked. "You really resigned, just like I suggested?"

"Yes."

Kaitlyn felt a sense of satisfaction. The resignation had been a test to see if Renee would comply with her wishes, and it seemed that Renee had taken it seriously.
