His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 176

"No, thank you. I don't really need anything, and you've already given me so much."

"This time is different… This is to celebrate your championship…"

As Jonathan spoke, he glanced at Niamh. Their eyes met for a fleeting moment.

Niamh quickly looked away, pretending to fuss with her suitcase.

Jonathan's smile widened as he watched her.

Liam Grant and Devon exchanged a look, unable to hide their amusement at Jonathan and Marina's obvious reluctance to part—like two lovestruck teenagers. Youth really was a wonderful thing.

"You're… the one Mr. Peter recommended, aren't you…"

Only now did Liam Grant seem to notice Niamh.

"Chairman Grant, Mr. Lowe…" Niamh greeted them politely, but the disdain in Liam Grant's eyes was unmistakable.

"You were the one who insisted on an opportunity before, yet you never even submitted a final piece."

Liam Grant's words sent Niamh's mind spinning back to when Jonathan had snatched up the raw ruby. After revising her design, she'd heard Liam Grant had already written a letter of recommendation for Marina, so she'd assumed there was no need to submit her finished work.

"I'm sorry…" Niamh apologized honestly, but Liam Grant wasn't interested in forgiving her.

Even Devon sighed in disappointment as he brushed past her.

Both men offered Marina a few words of encouragement before leaving the prep room together with Jonathan.

Marina, catching the pale look on Niamh's face, couldn't help but feel a surge of triumphant delight.

The finals were about to begin.
