Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1444

When Renee saw Linda coming to the door, she initially appeared flustered but soon wore a smug smile.

Linda remained composed. The maroon shawl on her accentuated her grace, and she looked authoritative just standing there. She looked at Renee quietly, reminding herself not to repeat the story of the farmer and the snake.

Renee spoke softly. "Aunt Linda, how have you been lately?"

"You still think of me as your aunt?" Linda glanced behind Renee, and the reporters all lowered their cameras and stood quietly, forced to lower themselves in Mrs. Thompson's presence. "You brought so many people to see me?"

"They're all seasoned journalists in this field." Renee smiled. "I invited them. I want them to witness something with me today."

Linda's expression darkened. She recognized a few faces among the reporters, the ones who always fueled controversies whenever celebrities were involved in scandals. "Witness?" Linda sneered. "Witness the bad deeds you've done? Witness how you stole the Thompson Group's client information and spread rumors about my husband?" Renee's face fell slightly, and she involuntarily took a step back.

Linda sighed, still clinging to a glimmer of hope as she tried to persuade Renee. "People's hearts are inherently good. Have you forgotten how your uncle and I treated you before?

"I always considered you as my daughter." Linda added, her tone filled with sadness, "I don't think we ever mistreated you. But Renee, why have you turned out like this? People's hearts are made of flesh and blood. Have you forgotten all the good things we did for you?"

Renee stood stiffly in place, her fists clenched tightly.

"Regardless, I hope you can find your way back. Actually, we all love you, including Lena..."

"Don't mention her to me!" Renee screamed uncontrollably once the name was brought up.

Behind her, the reporters exchanged glances and discreetly prepared their cameras and recording devices.

"She caused my mother's death... She didn't just harm my mother but also caused Toph to break up with me! It's all because of her!"

"Renee, what nonsense are you spewing?"

"If it weren't for her, I would be happy now!" Renee shook all over, her face turning pale. After a while, she smiled strangely. "Aunt Linda, you probably still don't know who she is, right? Those eerie eyes of hers always staring at others, have you ever seen any secrets in them?"

Linda glared sternly at her with a repulsive expression.

Just when Renee was about to take a step forward, the Thompson bodyguards firmly blocked her way.

"Aunt Linda, don't let her deceive you!"

"I don't want to hear you anymore!" Linda sternly rebuked. "Renee, you truly live up to being Melvin's daughter. You have absolutely no empathy! I must have been blind to have let your uncle give you shares in the company!"

"Didn't he take them back?" Renee's gaze gradually changed. "The shares he took back will probably end up in the hands of that wretched Lena!"

Linda did not want to say more. She turned to enter the house only to hear Renee shout from behind.

"Do you know why? Because she's Uncle Nicholas' illegitimate child!"

Linda froze as if rooted to the spot and feeling a tremendous weight upon her. She turned around slowly and looked at Renee in disbelief.

At that point, the reporters were already prepared to capture this major news.

Lina and Lena had just come out as well. Lena had wide eyes, filled with shock and anger. When she turned and met Lina's doubtful gaze, something seemed to collapse within her. "Pammy, I..."

"W-What's going on?" Lina's voice trembled as she felt a sudden pain somewhere, causing beads of sweat to form on her forehead. "Lenny, you... You already knew? Is that why you approached me?" "Yes, she knew a long time ago!"
