Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Gia and Lina were startled by the sight of Violet striding over, carrying bags of various sizes in her arms. Her face

had tanned a bit from spending the day under the sun at the palace, and despite the thick layer of makeup, signs of

sunburn were still visible.

Violet’s eyes glared venomously at Lina when she spotted her.

“Such deep sisterly love!” Violet sneered sarcastically. “Gia, have you forgotten how we ended up sunbathing

today? Your best friend here was strolling around the palace in her pretty clothes, but did she ever think about you

being out in the sun?”

Gia looked at Violet and spoke calmly. “This is between Lina and me. Please don’t interfere.”

Violet gritted her teeth. “How dare you talk to me like that now, you little b*tch!?”

Violet’s attention was then drawn to the jar of facial cream in Lina’s hand. Its packaging shimmered with the name

of a certain expensive brand. Even though it was sold in duty-free shops, it still carried a high price tag. In high-end

stores in Jangasas, its price was exorbitant.

Filled with anger, Violet swiftly snatched the jar of facial cream from Lina.

“What are you doing, Violet?” Gia exclaimed.

“Isn’t it a waste to let her use such a good thing?” Violet stood tall and proud. “Coincidentally, I didn’t get to buy this

brand of skincare product today. Gia, consider this your gift to me! In the future, I’ll make things less difficult for you

in class. How about that?”

Gia stared at Violet, taken aback by her interference. This girl could be both arrogant and incredibly foolish.

“Lina, stop her!” Gia cried out, worried that Violet would ruin her plan. “I bought that for Lina. What right do you

have to take it away?”

Violet acted unreasonably and gave Gia a hard shove. “Using something of yours is already a sign of me respecting

you! How dare you shout at me?”

“Give it back to Lina!”

“No!” Violet tore open the packaging of the facial cream. “I’ll use it tonight! Lina, your face can make do with some

cheap stuff from street vendors. No need for a luxury brand!”

Before Gia could respond, Lina raised her voice. “Both of you, quiet down!”

Feeling a throbbing pain in her temples, Lina felt restless and annoyed by their bickering.

“I don’t want this anymore. Both of you, go back to your rooms!”

“Lina…” Gia stood in a daze as Lina forcefully slammed the door shut.

Violet smirked and returned to her room, carrying the facial cream.

Gia clutched her clothes with a hint of panic in her eyes.

…

In the dead of night, a horrifying scream pierced through the hotel amidst the silence.

“Ah!”

Lina hesitated for a moment, then quickly dressed herself and rushed out upon realizing it wasn’t a dream.

The corridor was filled with chaos as everyone hurried out. The screams continued to emanate from a particular

room.

A student shouted, “It’s Violet’s room!”

In a state of panic, Heidi joined the hotel manager in opening the door.

Lina followed the crowd, only to witness an unbelievable sight.

Violet lay on the bed, writhing in agony, her hands covering her face. Her face appeared red, swollen, and infected

as if venomous insects had attacked it—she was unrecognizable!

“It… It’s this!” Violet struggled to point at the jar of facial cream on the dressing table. “It’s this!”

…

A few hours later, the doctor emerged from the emergency room with a grave expression. “Ms. Grist has suffered a

severe allergic reaction on her face. Through emergency treatment, we managed to control the extent of the

ulceration.”

Still in shock, Heidi pondered how she would explain this incident to the school authorities upon their return.

Moreover, Violet was the Grist heiress. Could they let this slide?

In a state of mental chaos, Heidi’s face turned pale, and she weakly leaned against the wall as she questioned the

doctor, “W-What… What exactly happened?”

“The initial diagnosis indicates an allergic reaction to a chemical substance.” The doctor carefully examined the

facial cream. “To determine the specific substance she’s allergic to, further tests will be required.”

“Will she recover from this?”

“The damage has reached the dermis layer, so she won’t fully recover to her previous state.”

Heidi took two steps back in fright, leaning against the wall and struggling to catch her breath.

Lina felt her palms grow sweaty as panic set in. She instinctively glanced at Gia in the corner, but Gia averted her

gaze momentarily before turning away.

A buzzing sound filled Lina’s ears, drowning out everything except for her own erratic heartbeat.

That jar of facial cream… Gia had originally bought it for her! If Violet hadn’t taken it, Lina could have been the one

lying in the hospital tonight.

“I want to call the police!” Violet’s hoarse cry echoed from the emergency room. “Those two b*tches must have

conspired to harm me! Call the police!”

“Okay, calm down… We’ll call the police!” Heidi tried to soothe her. “Violet, you mentioned those two… b*tches?

Who are they?”

“It’s Gia and Lina!” Violet gnashed her teeth. “They gave me this jar of facial cream!”

Lina’s heart skipped a beat, and a shiver ran down her spine.

Heidi shot her a fierce glare and promptly called the police.

Soon, the police arrived, led by an officer who briefly questioned everyone before preparing to take them to the

police station for statements.

Lina maintained her innocence, insisting that she had nothing to do with it.

The police officer said with a faint smile. “Miss, whether you’re involved or not, we’ll only know after conducting an

investigation at the police station. Please cooperate with us.”

Lina trembled while Gia had already been apprehended by the police, ready to be escorted out of the hospital.

Amidst the chaos, a voice echoed through the corridor. “What’s happening here?”

Lina turned toward the source of the voice.

Approaching them was a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe. He exuded an air of elegance and gentleness,

and even the police officer respectfully greeted him, “Mr. Irwin!”

Carter nodded in acknowledgment. “Officer Matthew, may I inquire about the situation?”
