Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1013

Gia's hands trembled as she dialed the number.

As soon as the call connected, fear gripped her. "Hello?"

"Well, well, Ms. Gia." The man's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Seems like you've been quite the avid shopper lately!"

Gia's face turned pale. She should have known that the credit cards they had given her came with strings attached. They had been monitoring her spending all along!

"Yes, I may have bought a few limited edition bags, some Cece suits, and some quality cosmetics... So what? Don't I deserve them?"

"I don't think that's all you bought..." Gia heard the sound of paper flipping on the other end. "According to these receipts, you also splurged on a luxury car!"

"I don't want to commute, taking the train to university like everyone else. I prefer to travel in comfort. What's wrong with that?" retorted Gia.

The man's smile remained silent.

"I-I deserve all of this!" Gia's voice quivered. "If I hadn't obtained Lina's test sample and convinced her to cooperate, do you think your plan would have gone so smoothly?"

"Oh? You believe you deserve it all..." The man absorbed her words and scoffed. "Seems like our boss was right about you!"

"What do you mean?" she asked.

He had mentioned that she was a challenge to control.

However, the man kept that to himself, chuckling before addressing the main topic. "Aside from removing her birthmark, is there any other way you can further alter her appearance?"

"What more do you want?" Gia retorted. "Plastic surgery? That costs a fortune! Is he willing to pay for it?"

"Don't be rude, dear. It's not cute."

"I just spent some money. Is it necessary for you to call me to question me?" Gia was pissed. "Listen up! If you piss me off, I'll bring Lina Jenner to Centrolis! Let's see what you're going to do about that!"

The man's voice became deep. "Lady, don't be impulsive, or else… I guarantee that the two of you won't make it to Centrolis alive!"

Gia was merely a girl in her early 20s, after all. No matter how dejected she felt, she was terrified when she heard the threat.

"Our boss ordered to change Lina's appearance a little bit more!" The man chuckled and enunciated each word. "If plastic surgery is too expensive, then disfigure her!"

He hung up after saying that.

Gia leaned against a tree, her mind blank and sweat dripping from the tip of her nose.

She made her way to the cafeteria in distress. Lina had already paid for her food and was waiting for her at their usual table.

Gia mustered a forced smile upon seeing her.

Lina had ordered meatballs, pasta, and a Coke—Gia's favorites.

"Here!" Lina handed her the cutlery. "You made it back just in time while the food is still hot! You were on the phone for quite a while. Do you secretly have a boyfriend?"

Gia looked up, meeting Lina's pure, bright eyes and witnessing her sweet smile. It choked her, and tears threatened to escape.

Everyone had a heart, after all.

Gia couldn't bring herself to say they were close, but she could confidently say that she wasn't just using her!

In the university, Gia felt like an outsider. The wealthy students boycotted and mocked her.

A princess like her would never eat at the cafeteria, though the standard was on par with a five-star hotel's buffet.

However, it was strange that not only was she queuing at the cafeteria today, but she was also smiling brightly. She said she hated the cafeteria because it was crowded and messy, yet she was smiling at everyone today.

Gia scoffed. "What's got her so cheerful? They say that joyous events resonate in one's spirit. There are only two joyous events in this world. Either you have money, or you've found love! Violet seems to have money, so does that mean she has a boyfriend now?"

Lina understood the situation and smiled mysteriously.

Indeed, a joyous event was happening in her life, but it had nothing to do with money or love.

The joyful event was that she had copied Lina's work for the competition!

While Lina was contemplating, Violet walked toward her after putting her food on the table.

"Oh my, is that all you guys are eating?" she said condescendingly, her eyes filled with disdain. "If it's not enough for you, just let me know. My family owns the cafeteria. Adding a dish or two for you would be a piece of cake!"

Violet scoffed after saying that and gnashed her teeth. "I'll just treat it as charity, like feeding dogs!"

"You!" Gia suddenly stood up and stared fiercely at her.

"Forget it, Gia." Lina pulled her and looked at Violet, revealing a calm smile. "Let's not mind what Princess Violet says.

"Eh? You have quite a lot of dishes on your plate!" Lina said while smiling. "Ahh, your family invested in the cafeteria. It belongs to your family, so they'd have to spoil their family dog, giving it enough food. That's amazing!"

"What did you say!?"

It was Violet's turn to be pissed now.
