Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 2017

Persephone turned away from Rebecca, her hands involuntarily clenching.

She could sense Rebecca's gaze behind her, filled with resentment and a hint of smugness.

Bringing Rebecca to Southeast Aciatic was actually her idea. She had learned about her ulterior motive back in Centrolis. What she hadn't expected was Rebecca's stubborn nature even after arriving.

Persephone took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and turned around to give Rebecca a smile.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in what you're saying at all."

Rebecca looked somewhat surprised, staring at her.

"Ms. Hamerton, don't you want to understand Mr. Orton's past better? I can help you!"

"You know deep down if you're really helping me or trying to help yourself." Persephone crossed her arms mockingly. "In your eyes, I'm just that rich, spoiled young woman who's reckless because of her family's money, right? I'm a person without any brains to you, aren't I?"

"No..."

"Correct, I'm not too brainy." Persephone chuckled. "Because I'm in love!"

Rebecca looked nervous and avoided meeting her eyes.

"Do you know the characteristics of being in love, Ms. Psychologist?" Persephone walked up to her, poked her, and grinned playfully. "The biggest characteristic of being in love is that one only sees their significant other. In my heart and eyes, it's all Morpheus. Whatever he says, I believe!

"If he says his past is a certain way, then that's how it is!" Persephone enunciated each word. "As long as he's willing to tell me, I believe him. If he doesn't want to tell me, I don't want to know. I'm not dating his past, so why should I know so much?

"It's you who's overly concerned." Persephone glanced at her. "If you love meddling so much, why not think about your own future?"

"Ms. Hamerton..." Rebecca looked alarmed. "Ms. Hamerton, are you asking me to leave?"

"I'm not asking you to leave." Persephone looked at her. "But you've crossed my bottom line, so you have to leave."

"I was wrong!" Rebecca shouted and was about to kneel down but was stopped by a few people around Persephone.

"Ms. Hamerton, I know I was wrong! I... I won't do this again in the future. I won't dare to have any improper thoughts about Mr. Orton."

"Isn't it a bit too late?"

Persephone remained expressionless, turning away.

The people around immediately understood and tried to drag Rebecca away. She cried and refused to leave.
