Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1426

"N-No... No..." Jacquelin shivered.

She and Renee were birds of a feather. If news spread about her trying to steal client data, Renee, as a witness, might get dragged into the situation.

The seasoned members of the board of directors would likely blow this out of proportion, and Renee might struggle to defend herself later.

Jacquelin had a sudden idea. Instead of dealing with this on her own, it might be smarter to involve Renee and split the profits!

She composed herself and gazed at Renee. "Frankly, I can't bear being at the Thompson Group any longer, but I refuse to back down! Even if I leave, I want the Thompson Group's reputation in this industry to suffer.

"I intended to sell the client data. Earning some cash would be nice, but the crucial part is that our peers should be aware the Thompson Group deals in client data trafficking. It might deter potential partners down the line!"

Renee was shocked. "This is illegal!"

Jacqueline smiled maliciously. "If you and I don't say a word, who will know who did this? Everyone will think that the Thompson Group didn't do a good job when the truth comes out!"

Renee grew pale and bit her lip tightly.

"Ms. Renee, I know things aren't easy for you." Jacquelin tried to reason with her. "You're Ms. Pamela's cousin, but now that Lena is seizing every opportunity, it's like she's trying to replace you! Can you swallow this humiliation?"

Renee's fists clenched.

As long as Lena's name was not mentioned, things were okay. Just hearing her name was like touching her raw nerves. Apart from thoughts of revenge, there was no longer room for anything else in her heart.

In fact, she had also noticed that Lina was growing closer to Lena recently. She deliberately distanced herself and instructed her secretary to say she was not in the office. Yet, Renee could see Lena delivering food to Lina.

Even more infuriating was that Lena would intervene and not allow her to get close to Lina at all!

Renee's breath grew more rapid, and her head throbbed as if all the blood in her body rushed there.

"Ms. Renee?" Jacquelin cautiously probed, noticing her agitation. "Are you alright?"
