Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1159

Lina was taken aback. "What?"

"The brand manager of LC Skincare specifically retrieved the store surveillance footage," Carter explained. "The footage showed that two employees colluded and placed the fake face cream on the counter with markings on the packaging. The cream didn't sell until your classmate, Chapman, walked into the duty-free shop and specifically asked for it. That's when they sold it to her.

"And the substance in the face cream is actually a type of drug. It's added after being highly refined, causing a chemical reaction. Just a small amount is enough to make the skin ulcerate and never recover."

Zuko furrowed his brow. "Uncle Carter, have you found out who those two people are?"

"Of course," Carter smiled. "Those two individuals were captured during the police operation to apprehend Justin."

Zuko and Lina were both stunned.

"They... are Justin's henchmen?"

"That's correct."

"So you mean..." Lina's expression changed slightly. "Gia not only has a connection with Melvin but also with Justin?"

"Yes," Zuko said in a low voice. "It just goes to show how cunning she is! She was deceiving you while using these people to harm you!"

Lina fell silent.

Melvin and Justin were captured in this operation, but there was no conclusive evidence to arrest Gia. A piece of surveillance footage could not prove much. Moreover, those two employees had already become scapegoats. It seemed that it would take more time to get rid of Gia.

"Don't think too much about it," Zuko reassured, patting her shoulder. "Leave this to me. I'll deal with her."

"What can you do?"

She looked around and casually picked up the white jade ornament on the table. After examining it, she placed it back down. Then, she turned to Zuko, her eyes filled with confusion. "His Majesty... arranged for us to stay here?"

Zuko maintained a poker face and nodded. "Yes."

"But it's too small, isn't it? There's only one room. We—"

"It's okay," Zuko interrupted her, stepping forward to embrace her. His large hands subtly roamed her back. "We can sleep in just one room."

Lina was unaware of the desires that consumed a man's heart after he drank, especially when faced with such a captivating girl like her.

Zuko's throat tightened, his lips were dry, and her scent overwhelmed his senses. All the blood in his body rushed to a certain place...

He held her tightly, his deep voice exuding charisma as he whispered softly in her ear, "It's getting late... Let's sleep, shall we?"
