Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1465

Lena felt uncertain. "Them?"

"Those who look down on me! I want to prove how great my family is to our daughter-in-law!" Fleur clenched her teeth, nearly crushing the steering wheel.

Lena chuckled, keeping her head down. The large diamond ring on her finger sparkled in an unfamiliar, elegant light. Despite feeling out of place, a unique warmth enveloped Lena.

Fleur sped along, instructing her bodyguards to contact the wives on the way. These women usually attempted to flatter her but often fell short.

Their shock was evident when they heard Madam Fleur wanted to play poker with them. They promptly agreed and followed her directions.

Lena trailed behind, surveying the club. The atmosphere was serene, posh, and luxurious. The people who came to greet them seemed prestigious, yet they treated Fleur with respect.

Once inside the VIP room, Fleur halted and gestured to Lena, who hesitated to extend her arm.

Fleur impatiently grabbed her hand and placed it on her own, glaring at her. "Didn't Chris say you're direct? Why so slow?"

Lena bowed her head.

"Show your finger," Fleur whispered. "Why bother coming if you won't?"

Lena complied.

The typically stern and imposing Lena now resembled a docile rabbit, obediently following Fleur's lead.

"Hello there!" Fleur greeted them cheerfully as she entered. "Mrs. Cloud, Mrs. Grant, and Mrs. Lee! It's been a while... Hahaha!"

"Um..."

The three women exchanged glances, surprised by Fleur's uncharacteristic warmth. They were actually Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Rudd, and Mrs. Weir... Hadn't they just bumped into each other at the cafe?

"I'm sure we'll hear good news soon!"

"It'll happen very soon!"

Fleur laughed happily and revealed her cards. "Flush!"

The compliments continued to flow.

Lena felt bewildered. The women then turned their gaze toward her, offering insincere smiles.

"She's very quiet, hardly says a word. She has a captivating charm, much like you when you were young, Madam Fleur!"

"Absolutely!" Fleur responded without much thought, though she regretted it a bit later.
