Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1225

Tobias slapped Gia hard while she was distracted. At that moment, he lost his rationality, and the piece of land became a hot potato.

He wanted to sell it secretly, take the money, and run away. He roared with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious face, "I'll destroy whoever dares to block my way to wealth!"

His phone suddenly rang, and he looked at the unknown number in surprise.

A gentle woman's voice spoke. "May I know if this is Mr. Chambers?"

Tobias' expression softened, and his expression changed. He no longer looked like a devil.

"Hello... Yes, I am! May I know who this is?"

"I am Anna Collins, a senior assistant from Aureneil Industrial."

Tobias' cunning eyes lit up. "Anna? Why are you calling?"

Anna chuckled sweetly. "Are you teasing me, Mr. Chambers? Don't you know why I'm calling? What did you inquire about in the past few days?"

"Could it be that your superiors are interested in my land?"

"That's right."

She continued. "Mr. Chambers, my superiors said that the Thompsons are considered a prominent family. Although they can't compare with the four families, they're quite powerful. We heard that they're developing a film studio lately..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" He smiled widely. "The land is just next to the film studio! Tell your superiors that they'll definitely make a profit by buying this land!"

"Sure, sir." Anna chuckled. "They said they'd like to meet you! Which day is best for you?"

Lina couldn't help but laugh after ending the call.

Abigail was picking photographs for the magazine. She tilted her head and glanced at Lina before teasing her. "If you keep this up, you'll have competition in the entertainment industry!"

"No, no! The voice changer gets all the credit," Lina replied.

Lina noticed something off about Abigail today. She was usually career-driven, but she seemed distracted while picking photographs.

"What's wrong?" Lina poked her with her elbow. "Is there romance in the air?"

"You..." Abigail widened her big eyes, making her face look out of proportion.

"Haha, I'll stop teasing!" Lina grabbed her arm. "Tell me the truth. Do you miss Jacob?"

"Not today." Abigail smiled. "Someone insisted on taking me to Jangasas!"

"Who is it?"

Abigail revealed the name of a female celebrity, Carla Clover, her good friend in the industry.

Lina couldn't understand why Abigail was being dragged to Jangasas, but she showed Lina their conversation.

Carla: [Hmm, there's a great aesthetic clinic in Jangasas. Go with me!]

Abigail: [What... There are so many ways to love yourself. Can't you refrain from altering your face? Your face isn't ugly, to begin with!]

Carla: [I wouldn't be wasting money like this if I were as beautiful as you!]

Abigail: [Is there a good aesthetic doctor in such a small place? Don't get yourself into trouble and jeopardize your future!]

Carla: [No, no! There are no paparazzi in that small city. It's a great distraction! Also, I heard that the Thompsons' daughter did plastic surgery there, too!]

As her foot hadn't healed yet, she needed to bring her medicine.

Lina felt warm. She hugged Abigail while smiling. "I didn't know I hold such a high place in your heart! It'd be breaking news if the paparazzi caught you going to an aesthetic clinic!"

"I'm not scared." Abigail smirked like a little fox and patted Lina's cheeks. "No matter what they say about me in the news, I have your mother-in-law's backing!"

Lina said, "You're taking advantage of Aunt Cordelia?

"What? You're depending on my in-laws now but not me? You sure are ungrateful!"

Lina playfully pinched Abigail's arm, and they continued their friendly banter.

Two days later, they began their trip to Jangasas.

They planned to drive themselves. After all, there were two celebrities among the three of them, and they would have more privacy if they drove themselves.

Zuko verbally agreed to let her go on her own, but in reality, he secretly followed her in a car. He confidently claimed he was out running an errand when he was caught!

Meanwhile, Jacob's Mercedes G-Class was speeding as if flying in the other lane. He seemed excited.

The two men each took one lane while Abigail's private car, which had just been 'fixed', was in the middle lane.

Jackie was the only man capable of driving the three ladies, who were either watching dramas or napping with their headphones on.

He looked beaten as he drove, sandwiched between Zuko on the left lane and Jacob on the right. They provided protection on both sides.

Despite being a seasoned driver with over ten years of experience, Jackie couldn't control the shaking of his hands as he gripped the steering wheel.
