Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1389

Suddenly, Renee remembered what Melvin had said to her before his execution.

"Such a good opportunity to impersonate Pamela and gain the Thompson Group, but you didn't want it! You're as foolish as your mother! You both wretched women!"

Renee's head throbbed abruptly, and she trembled slightly.

"Renee?" Toph looked at her with concern. "Are you feeling unwell?"

His hand had not reached her when she moved away.

Toph's hand hung awkwardly in the air, a bit embarrassed. It felt like a needle had pricked him, and a drop of blood seeped.

"Renee—"

Before he could form his sentence, there was a knock on the door. Even before the person entered, their sweet voice could be heard.

"I hope I'm not late for such a happy occasion?"

Arya walked in with a gift, heading straight for Lina as soon as she entered the room.

Lina was pleasantly surprised. "Why did you come too?"

"Zuko told me!" Arya's eyes curved with a smile. "He's so eager to announce to the world with a megaphone that he's going to be a father!"

Zuko cleared his throat twice. He could barely keep his cool and composed image.

Lina was amused. She did not see anything wrong with Zuko and Arya texting privately. However, Renee's expression turned sour when Toph talked to Arya for a bit.

A person with an open heart naturally would not think negatively of others. However...

Renee rose to her feet, her eyes carrying a touch of coldness. She scanned the room, particularly focusing on Arya as she approached Toph. Her fists tightened, nails digging into her skin.

But Renee completely ignored Arya. Her gaze was solely locked on Toph. She spoke slowly and clearly, asking him, "How come I had no idea you were drawing comics?"

Toph hurried to explain, "I... I did tell you..."

"You didn't!"

"I really did!"

Toph showed her his phone.

He had sent her dozens of messages in a day, but she would only reply with a few words.

One of those messages was: [Renee, I sent a few drafts to Arya for her evaluation. I want to venture into the comic world, too. If luck is on my side, it might even be adapted into a mobile game. That way, I can make a name for myself! Renee, do you support me?"

Renee's hands were trembling. She hadn't paid any attention to the messages he had sent her, causing her to miss this specific one.
