Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 985

"You!" Violet was mad from the humiliation and almost hit Lina. However, she held back as her classmates were watching.

After all, she had been putting on the facade of a friendly and generous princess. If she really slapped her and those ill-intentioned people uploaded the clip onto the Internet, the facade she had put so much effort into would be completely ruined!

Her lips quivered, and she tried her best to smile.

"Get over yourself, Lina!" Violet gnashed her teeth and enunciated each word. "Don't think you're safe just because you married that fool! I'll never let you go!"

Lina glanced at her and continued reading as if nothing happened.

Gia went to sit next to Lina and held her hand softly.

Zuko stood at the door, having witnessed everything. Frowning in disgust, he cast a glance of disapproval at Violet. He then turned around and made his way to a quiet corner in the corridor, where he made a call, speaking softly. "Jacob, it's me."

The latter was surprised as Zuko hardly took the initiative to call!

"What's up?" asked Jacob.

"How much do you know about the Grists?" asked Zuko.

Jacob was perplexed. "The Grists? Aren't you investigating them? Why are you asking me that?"

Zuko faked a cough and fell quiet.

Jacob could feel the intense suppression on him even through the phone. He dared not joke with him, so he said after thinking for a moment. "The family isn't too powerful, but they have some support."

Zuko nodded. Such occurrences were common in Centrolis. Certain families, who might not possess inherent power, relied on connections to acquire influence and authority.

Jacob lowered his voice. "Zuko, we can't rush things with the Grists' scandal just yet. We don't have enough evidence now, so don't make things worse!"

"Hmm, I know," replied Zuko.

"You do?" Jacob was stunned. "Then why did you ask that when you do?"

"I'm not asking about that!"
