Chapter 115 His appetite

A customer couldn’t help but laugh. “Mrs. Hudson, you're using Renee’s nand brought Catherine here for

your own benefit. Doesn't seem right, does it?”

Freddy smiled at the customer and subtly hinted his assistant.

The assistant quickly got the hint and approached the customer. Madam, are you looking to order this dress? We

can sort it out for you today if you'd like.”

A simple gesture of support for Freddy and Renee, and just like that, the customer received such a special offer?

Other customers quickly echoed their sentiments.

“Mr. Lynn is absolutely correct.”

“Mrs. Hudson, your family always humiliated Renee. Renee did you no wrong. Now you suddenly remember her

as your daughter?”

“You even put Renee down during the Fashion Ceremony to promote Catherine.And now you claim Renee as your

daughter? That's quite shameless.”

Grace and Catherine found themselves under a barrage of criticism from the other customers. As they faced the

scolding, their faces alternated between pale and flushed.

Freddy, quite pleased, let Grace and Catherine endure the criticism for a while before commanding, “Please

leave, both of you.

At that moment, Grace and Catherine had no choice but to leave, not daring to make a scene. They silently

cursed Renee.

As Freddy escorted them to the door, expecting to see them off, he was surprised to see a handsman in a

wheelchair, draped in a large grey scarf.

“Mr. King?“Grace’s face brightened upon seeing Marcelo. “You're just in time. You know all about our family’s

connection with Renee. She left our hto get married. Please tell Mr. Lynn we've been good to Renee.”

Grace was desperate to save face, forgetting she couldn't order Marcelo around.

Marcelo, unaware of the prior events, still saw the situation.

He realized the Hudson family wanted to use Renee’s connection with Freddy to their advantage. “The only

person you really care about is your daughter next to you,“Marcelo said emotionlessly. “Mrs. Hudson, you'd be

better off asking Andrew for help.”

Grace, faced with another blow to her pride, was gloomy.

Freddy wouldn't do Andrew any favors.

Felicia, if she came, would have to wait her turn to order a dress, just like anyone else.

Andrew wasn't as influential as Renee.

The onlookers in the stuwatched with curiosity as Grace and Catherine left in humiliation.

“Mr. King, what brings you here?” Freddy finally turned to Marcelo.

Marcelo replied coolly, “I'm here to pick up Renee.”

Fearing Marcelo might prevent him from having dinner with Renee, Freddy quickly said, “Renee invitedto

dinner tonight.”

Marcelo nodded. “It’s her treat, but I'll cover the bill. What would you like to eat, Mr. Lynn?”

Freddy couldn't say a word.

He was clearly struggling with the idea of eating with Marcelo.

As soon as Renee got the call, she stepped out of the lounge.

Freddy's assistant approached and inquired, “Miss Hudson, where should | deliver the custom suits Mr. Lynn

made for you? May | have your address?”

What? Custom-made suits?

All eyes in the stuturned to Renee.

Renee was taken aback for a moment, realizing she was about to becthe talk of the town once again.

Ignoring their curious stares, Renee calmly gave Freddy's assistant the address of Marcelo’s house.

As Renee walked away, she could hear the murmurs of the others.

“It’s incredible that someone could get several of Freddy's designs all at once.”

“That's for Renee. She’s the one who occupied the center seat at Freddy's recent show.”

“Was Renee in the lounge this whole time? So Freddy was defending Renee when he scolded Grace and her

daughter?” “Wow! I'm kind of jealous of Renee. Even if she’s not a Hudson by blood, who cares? Being Freddy's

benefactor is way cooler.”

The dinner was agony for Freddy. Every the looked up, he was met with Marcelo’s stoic face, ruining his

appetite.

Upon returning home, Renee got a message from Freddy vowing never to dine with Marcelo again, calling it an

insult to good food.

Trying not to laugh,Renee cast a curious glance at Marcelo.

She wondered why she felt so comfortable dining with Marcelo.

Despite his somewhat cold demeanor, Marcelo was undeniably handsome.

“What are you staring at?“Marcelo had already caught Renee's gaze.

With a playful smile,Renee teased, “Freddy doesn’t want to dine with you anymore. What did you do to frighten

him?”

There was a unique tension, something that seemed to exist just between men.

Marcelo, however, kept this to himself.

He said, “Your subordinate is not only old, he’s also overly cautious.”

Renee was momentarily at a loss for words.

She figured it wasn’t so much that Freddy was overly cautious, but more about Marcelo’s problem. “Mr. King,

isn’t it a bit harsh for you to criticize my subordinate like that?“Renee felt the need to stand up for Freddy.

Marcelo simply replied, “No.”

Then, something Freddy had mentioned popped into Renee’s mind.

She stepped closer to Marcelo, tilted her head with a mischievous smile, and playfully asked, “Marcelo, Freddy

mentioned you were jealous. Is that true?”

Renee's face was magnified right in front of him. Her skin looked soft, and her eyelashes curled gracefully like

tiny brushes. Under those lashes, her eyes were clear and serene, as though they could peer into the depths of a

person’s soul.

Marcelo was caught off guard for a brief moment, then his expression turned soft.

He swallowed hard and spoke in a composed tone. “Freddy was in ging things.”

Renee scoffed in response, clearly not convinced by hits words.

Witnessing this scene, Chad felt an urge to chuckle, yet he restrained himself, holding back the laughter that

bubbled within.

Renee didn’t want to miss this chance to tease Marcelo, so she had no plans to let him slip away easily.

Resting her chin in her hand, she faced him across the tea table and said deliberately, “If you're not jealous, then

why are you always badmouthing my team member?”

“I'm just advising you to better manage your resources and team,He replied, his heart racing, but he tried to

maintain his

composure.

“Harry is on my team, too. Why do you target Freddy instead of Harry?”

Pursing his lips, Marcelo gazed at the reckless woman before him. He pinched her cheek and warned,

“Renee,you’re going to makechoke.Stop gossiping.”

Renee was indulging in a late night snack at the time.

Hearing his words, she set down her fork and said, “You're almost done with your meal. You won't choke.”

The implied message was that she was free to indulge in gossip.

Chad had observed Marcelo growing up.

It was the first the saw someone put Marcelo at a disadvantage and he couldn't resist uttering a sound.

As Marcelo turned his head, he noticed Chad trying to suppress his laughter.

Chad quickly coughed to break the awkwardness and shifted the conversation, saying, “Mr. King, | just heard

from the sub building that Ivan upset the physics teacher today.”

The private tutor had been giving Ivan one-on-one sessions. A series of six top notch teachers had been visiting

the sub building, each one leaving with complaints.

“If the teacher gets upset, then it’s tto find a replacement.” Following his words, Marcelo got up and asked

Renee, “Don’t you want any more food?”

Renee responded with a smile and a nod. Just as she was about to open her mouth,Marcelo suddenly lifted her

by the waist.
