Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Chatper 1439

Renee returned to the prison once more.

The air inside carried a grim, damp, and moldy odor, a stark reminder of her last encounter with Melvin at this

place, a memory she'd rather forget. As she approached the entrance, she instinctively stepped back.

"What's wrong?" the female officer asked coldly.

Renee composed herself and pulled down her cap, concealing her face from prying eyes. She hadn't initially wanted

to come here, but a call had informed her that Jacquelin wished to see her. After some thought, she decided to

oblige, her sole aim being to silence Jacquelin's prison gossip.

"Please walk faster, miss," the officer urged with suspicion. "You don't have much time for the visit. If you keep this

pace, you won't have the chance to say what you want!"

Renee's heart raced. She glanced at the officer, who was also scrutinizing her with an enigmatic look that hinted at

recognition.

Renee quickened her pace, following the officer.

Soon, Jacquelin emerged in the visiting room. Gone was her former arrogance. She looked pale and out of place in

the prison attire, which did not suit her at all. A glimmer of hope appeared in her cloudy eyes upon spotting Renee.

"Ms. Renee!" she exclaimed, charging toward her as if she'd found a lifeline.

Instinctively, Renee leaned back, grateful for the glass separating them.

Renee couldn't hear Jacquelin's voice through the soundproof glass without a phone. Still, she could see her distress

and the prison guards' stern expressions. She bit her lip, growing uneasy in her seat.

"Ms. Renee... Ms. Renee!" Jacquelin eventually calmed down. She stared at Renee after taking her seat and picking

up the receiver. "Help me, Ms. Renee! I-I can't stand being here for another second!"

Renee's heart pounded. "Jacquelin, you made a mistake. How can I help you? You brought all this upon yourself."

"You..." Jacquelin looked at her in disbelief. "Ms. Renee, you were with me when we stole the client—"

"It's too late for regrets," Renee interrupted firmly. "Remember, Mr. Thompson is my uncle. He won't dig into my

actions as long as I keep my distance."

"Renee!" Jacquelin lost control and shrieked before falling into a momentary daze as if her soul had been ripped

away. Then she sobbed, nearly on the verge of kneeling.

"M-Ms. Renee, please, I beg you to bail me out! I know you can do it! My crime is serious, but I might be pardoned

with your support..."

Unbeknownst to her, Renee wished for Jacquelin to remain behind bars. There was no way she would help her.

"Enough!" Renee abruptly stood up. "Jacquelin, you must face the consequences of your actions. Don't involve me! I

came here today to deliver this message..."

Her voice trembled with emotion. "Control your tongue, don't spread rumors! If you utter another word, I'll make

your family suffer."

Jacquelin was rendered speechless, her spark of hope extinguished. She had never thought Renee capable of such

cruelty, a painful realization.

She forced a bitter smile. "Well... That's just great! If that's the case, I won't reveal the secret I was going to share

with you!"
