Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1101

Melissa chuckled, pursing her lips as she thought. "It's easy. It'll work as long as we treat them well."

"How do we do that?" asked Jesse.

She had already formulated a plan for that.

They had worked hard to run the small supermarket for years. Although they were not wealthy, their standard of living was considered above average in the city.

In addition to their old house in the alley, they had purchased a brand new condo in the city center.

Her plan was to leave the supermarket and the old house to Lina while they would live in the condo with their son. As long as they had some savings, everything would be fine.

Lina's income would be guaranteed as she would take over the supermarket and have a place to live since they were also giving her the old house.

Moreover, the house was located in a great area with a school nearby. Its value would increase over time, and it would be convenient for them when they had children.

Melissa smiled as she touched the deed. "I'll do my best as long as it's for my daughter... Sigh. I think this should be enough to make Zeke stay!"

Jesse nodded and praised his wife for her wisdom.

Lina was their darling daughter, and if Zeke could take good care of her, Jesse would be relieved.

…

The next day, while Zuko was sorting out the stock, he received a call from Fred. He had been investigating Gia's whereabouts as instructed.

As soon as Zuko answered, Fred greeted him with friendly laughter. "Mr. Hamerton!"

Zuko frowned. "What?"

"Didn't you order me to work for you?" Fred lowered his voice. "I've been investigating Gia's whereabouts!"

Zuko was stunned and asked with his deep voice, "What did you find?"

"Something unusual about her, indeed!" Fred said. "There's a phone number that shows up frequently on her phone bill, and it's from Centrolis! I checked the number, and I was surprised to find that it belongs to..."

"Who is it?"

Fred paused before continuing. "The person's name is Melvin Thompson. He seems to be related to Nicholas Thompson of the Thompson Group..."

Zuko's face turned serious, and his grip on the phone tightened.

Fred asked, "Mr. Hamerton, I also found that although Melvin is old, he's quite the playboy. There were even rumors about him with a porn star a few years ago! Do you think Gia became his sugar baby for money?"

Zuko bit his lip softly, deep in thought.

It wasn't about being a sugar daddy or not, but it had something to do with Pammy.

"Did you find anything else?" Zuko asked.

"Not at the moment," Fred answered honestly, but he assured him, "I'll report to you as soon as I find anything else!"

"Okay, thank you." Zuko thanked him in a flat tone before ending the call.

After contemplating for a while, Zuko called Toph.

…

"Furthermore, the Thompsons are a powerful family, and she's their only daughter. If she returns, she can live like a princess immediately. Why would she deceive her parents by being with Melvin?"

Renee and Toph exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"So, let's consider another hypothesis. Let's say Gia doesn't know about her true identity yet." Zuko continued. "In that case, it's clear that Melvin is using her for his own benefit."

Toph expressed doubt. "If she's not Pamela... where did he get the DNA sample?"

"That's another question." Zuko's expression turned cold. "The most important thing now is to prove that Gia isn't Pammy."

"That's easy. We just need to get her DNA sample!" Toph remarked.

Zuko scoffed. "But we're both men. How do we get close to her?"

Toph scratched his head. Just then, Renee smiled sweetly and spoke softly. "Did you guys forget about me?"

"You?" The brothers looked at the quiet and gentle girl simultaneously.

"That's right. As long as I can go to her university and pretend to be her junior... I can get her DNA sample!"

"That's right!" Toph slapped his thigh. "Renee is a girl, so she won't attract any attention. Besides, brother, didn't you establish that elite university under the Hamerton Group?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Renee was taken aback.

Toph grinned. "My sister-in-law was bullied at university. Out of anger, my brother fired the lecturers and conveniently replaced all the investors!

"Lina, my sister-in-law, deserves the position of a trustee!"
