Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1421

Kasey glanced downward. She didn't appear extraordinary to Elijah. Instead, she harbored only grievances and discontent.

Unknown to Jacquelin, Zuko had noticed her taking photos and discreetly signaled his bodyguards to remove her. But before any of this could unfold, Kasey made a "heroic" move of her own.

Zuko smiled at the couple and turned to leave. Lena followed him.

When they reached a secluded place, Zuko stopped in his tracks and asked, "Have you engraved everything I told you?"

Lena nodded earnestly.

"Under no circumstances should you let Renee get close to her."

"I understand." Lena's gaze darkened. "Taking these precautions in advance is the right move. Renee isn't thinking clearly, so who knows what she might do. And now that Lina is pregnant, we have to be even more careful!"

Zuko looked at her and said cryptically, "It seems like you genuinely care about Lina."

Lena did not say anything.

"Why?"

"Because..." Lena lowered her head, her voice soft. "Because Lina has been good to me."

"She also used to be good to Renee," Zuko retorted.

"I'm not the same as Renee!" Lena suddenly raised her voice. "I... I would never betray Lina!"

Zuko wanted to continue questioning but stopped before the words left his mouth.

Nicholas was already waiting for him in the study. A cup of tea had just been brewed, the temperature perfect with the aroma filling the room.

Zuko greeted him respectfully and took a seat opposite.

"Take a look at these." Nicholas placed a stack of photos on the desk.

Zuko flipped through a few and immediately recognized a key figure. "This guy..."

"Looks familiar?" Nicholas smiled faintly. "This is the person I've traced from the black market."

"Isn't this one of Kaitlyn's accomplices?" Zuko blurted.
