Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1401

"Indeed, he's young," Jade remarked. "But despite his age, he's capable. When the company began, Mr. Thompson had nothing but money. Besides the Hamertons' support, Mr. Chriss played a vital role in building Sol Entertainment step by step. With a solid foundation, the subsidiary companies grew rapidly."

"So, Mr. Chriss deserves credit." Lena smiled. "Because of that, did the directors overlook his affair?"

Jade playfully nudged her. "Come on, enough of that!"

"I know," Lena whispered. "I'm just teasing you. I wouldn't discuss this with outsiders."

Jade's eyes twinkled with hidden meaning as she said, "What I mean is, Mr. Chriss' relationship with Jacqueline isn't clear!"

"Huh?"

Lena was taken aback.

In reality, she had considered this. Jacqueline seemed the least likely mistress she had ever seen. What kind of secretive, pampered mistress led such a difficult life, working hard?

It appeared she had only heard one side of the story, one that suggested Jacqueline was willingly doing what she did.

Lena flashed a subtle smile. Maybe Mr. Chriss was such a remarkable man that all women were willing to strive for him!

Jacqueline had secretly tried to meet with Renee a few times.

However, Renee lately had been distracted by Toph's cold attitude, even when Jacqueline shared so much about Lena.

Jacqueline noticed and immediately stopped talking, realizing she looked terrible.

But Renee asked, "Why did you stop?"

"Oh..." Jacqueline glanced around before suggesting with a smile, "Shall I order another cup of decaffeinated coffee for you, Ms. Renee? It tastes just as good as regular coffee but won't affect your sleep."

"What did you do to win him over?"

Jacqueline panicked. What did she have?

All she had was one secret: you can achieve anything if you're shameless.

"Ms. Renee..." She forced a plastic smile. Just as she was about to deflect the question, she noticed a woman approaching from a short distance away. The woman appeared furious.

Jacqueline's expression turned from fear to sheer alarm. Her head started to ring, and she bolted from her seat.

However, the cafe was located inside the Thompson Group building, with an open design surrounded by only plants.

Jacqueline was clumsy and guilty. She accidentally knocked over a potted plant, drawing the woman's attention.

"Stay right there!"
