"What?" Renee was about to leave when she suddenly stopped, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "What do you want
to say?"
"Just a little secret."
"Is it related to me?"
Jacquelin remained silent, only smiling. The tables had turned now, and she held the upper hand.
Renee raised her hand in frustration, but a glass barrier was in front of her, preventing her from reaching Jacquelin.
"Jacquelin!"
"Ms. Renee." Jacquelin smirked. "Since pleading with you didn't work, I'll keep this secret to myself... Well, I suppose
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou're not interested in knowing the true relationship between Mr. Thompson and Lena, are you?"
Renee was stunned, looking at her in silence. Jacquelin's words had an impact. She could care less about other
things but wanted to get to the bottom of each matter regarding Lena.
She sat down slowly and looked at Jacquelin in confusion.
Jacquelin said leisurely, "Get me out of here, and I'll tell you about it."
Renee paused. "I promise you, but the process takes time. Why don't you tell me about it first? I'll figure something
out for you."
"Really?"
"I'll keep my word. Tell me about Lena first, and I'll get you a lawyer the moment I step out of this place."
Jacquelin contemplated. She did not dare trust Renee easily anymore but hated Lena, too. Their grudges ran deep.
Even if Renee lied to her this time, she could only chalk it up to her bad luck.
If Renee could take care of Lena, though, she would be happy to see it through. She chuckled and told Renee, "I
heard that you made up a rumor about Lena being Mr. Thompson's mistress? You're mistaken! She's his illegitimate
daughter!"
"What?" Renee nearly slipped from her chair.
Jacquelin emphasized the words "illegitimate daughter", so Renee believed that it was not her delusion.
"W-What are you saying?" Her voice trembled as she asked, "How did you find out?"
"Ms. Renee, you're quite dense." Jacquelin sneered. "I started paying attention to her from the first day she arrived
because Jade brought her in. Do you really think someone under the care of the head of the sales department has
no background?

"At first, I thought she had an affair with Mr. Thompson, too. Then, I wondered if she had some hidden relationship
with some rich heirs.
"But later on, I discovered her little secret... She has a habit of writing in her diary!"
Renee was taken aback. She had also noticed Lena's habit. While living together in the Thompson household, she
occasionally passed Lena's room and saw her writing at her desk.
However, Lena was very cautious. Whenever there was any movement near the door, she would go and lock it.
Jacquelin continued. "I suspected she wouldn't carry her diary around with her but would keep it in a very secretive
place. One night, when we were working late, she didn't have her diary and typed a few lines on her computer."
"Y-You saw it?"
"With so many people around her, how could she possibly let me see it?" Jacquelin chuckled coldly. "But she didn't
know that the computer she used... had been tampered with!"
