Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chapter 1251

Lina heard everything they said, and it hit her hard. Their stares felt like knives cutting into her face. Instinctively,

she glanced at Desiree, who appeared quite intoxicated, lazily leaning on the couch.

Desiree was looking back at her, and they locked eyes.

Lina saw a clear, gloating expression in Desiree’s gaze. Now, she understood the intent behind Desiree’s actions.

Desiree had defamed her and suppressed her, using Nicholas’ unsavory past as a gangster to keep influential

people away from Lina. This way, she couldn’t interact with those important connections anymore.

If things went according to Desiree’s plan, Lina would be humiliated and angry.

Lina remained composed, trying not to lose her temper, but the others were crossing the line, especially under the

influence of alcohol.

Desiree also joined in, seemingly drunk, but Lina suspected she was fully aware of her actions.

Lina chuckled, looking at Desiree. “It seems we won’t be able to proceed with our collaboration. Nevertheless,

thanks for sharing the business list.”

“Oh, Lina, did I say something wrong?” Desiree quickly stood up and apologized. “I tend to talk nonsense when I’m

drunk. Please don’t take it personally!”

The others remained silent, unsure of what to say.

Desiree smacked her head in regret, berating herself for her drunken behavior.

“It’s alright. What you said is true.” Lina smirked. “The Thompsons can’t be compared to other prestigious families.

I’ve heard your parents are PH.D. graduates from renowned schools, right? My parents can’t compete with that.”

“Lina—”

“Our friendship remains even if the business doesn’t work out, so don’t take it personally,” Lina said carelessly,

downing her drink in one go.

After a while, Lina said, “I’m sorry, I can’t handle alcohol very well. My head is spinning from drinking too fast. Could

you come with me to the bathroom to wash my face, Desiree?”

Desiree raised an eyebrow, unable to hide her smugness, thinking she had won. She readily agreed and helped Lina

to the bathroom.

However, as soon as they entered, Lina used her foot to slam the door shut. She stood before Desiree, her eyes

and expression cold and unreadable.

Desiree trembled. “Lina, you…”

“Come here, Desiree!” Lina approached her with intensity. “I have a gift for you. There were too many people out

there, so I couldn’t bring it with me. It’s in my bag. Can you guess what it is?”

Suspicious, Desiree cautiously reached into Lina’s bag and felt something cold and hard—a grip of some kind, like

that of a gun!

Her eyes widened, and she noticed an unexpected hint of fierceness in Lina’s gaze, something far beyond what one

would expect from a young girl.
