Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 606

Rosemary followed Romeo through several departments until they halted their half-day tour as Carl brought over the afternoon coffee.

On the other side, Serena was completely stunned by the WhatsApp message that her best friend had sent.

[Serena, you know my mom is the Assistant Director of Procurement at McMillian Corporation.]

[This morning, she saw Romeo with a girl, hand in hand, making quite a public appearance at McMillian Corporation. By noon, they were seen lunching together at the staff canteen.] freewebnσvel.cѳm

[My mom said the girl is stunning, top-notch looks, even prettier than us, and around our age.]

[Turns out, Romeo’s mother even made it to the canteen to join them for lunch. They were chatting and laughing throughout, looking just like a family.]

[Serena, isn’t Romeo your fiancé? Why would he be with another girl? And she even received his mother’s approval.]

When Serena saw these messages on WhatsApp, she felt a chill down her spine, as if she’d been dropped into an ice cave.

Although she knew the truth couldn’t be concealed forever, she didn’t expect the day to come this swiftly.

What on earth had Rosemary done to have Romeo openly parading her around McMillian Corporation, even dining with her at the staff canteen as if eager to publicize their relationship?

{I heard when she arrived at the corporation, the stunning Director of HR, Irene, resigned willingly, and Maria, who had a great rapport with the McMillians, was fired by Romeo. Is it because they were too beautiful, held high positions, and threatened the girl’s status?}

Serena read her friend’s message, her feelings in turmoil, and didn’t reply.

[Romeo is your fiancé, but there are hardly any photos of you two together. Did something happen between you two? Does the engagement still stand?]

Upon reading this, Serena became angrier. She thought it over and decided that concealing the truth wasn’t the solution. Hence, she composed a reply.

[Honey, I broke up with Romeo a while ago. Since our parents haven’t announced it yet, we haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Now that he’s found someone he likes, I wish him well. Don’t worry about me, I have a reliable support system by my side.]

Just as Serena hit send, her friend sent over several messages, incredulously asking about what had happened.

Seeing that her friend wouldn’t stop until she knew the whole story, Serena explained:

[Martin tirelessly pursued me and won me over with his sincerity. That’s why I decided to leave Romeo for him.]

Her words were quite ambiguous, insinuating that she had been the one to break up with Romeo.

Her friend was incredulous. Who would abandon the young and handsome billionaire Romeo for Martin, who paled in comparison in every aspect?

[The higher the public regard for Romeo, the more critical they are of the women around him. I don’t want to live my life wearing a mask of perfection. With Martin, I can be myself.]

[But what about Romeo? Did he agree to let go? You two grew up together. Didn’t he try to retain you, instead of giving you up to Martin?]

Serena sent a sighing emoji.

[I was determined to break up, threatened him with never seeing each other again. Perhaps he was scared, or perhaps I broke his heart. Maybe I moved on too quickly with Martin, which is why he found someone new so soon, making such a public appearance.]

Her friend suddenly understood:

[Oh, I see. He’s trying to provoke you with his new love, letting you know that he could have any woman anytime he wants. No wonder the usually low-key Romeo is so ostentatious this time—he’s trying to make you see.]

Serena sent a helpless emoji.

[He knew your mother is the Assistant Director of Procurement, knew about our relationship, yet still did this.]

[God, he’s so passionate. How could you bear to hurt such a good man?]

The bestie couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Romeo, mourning over their lost love.

Upon seeing her friend’s conviction, Serena finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Romeo is just like the unreachable stars. Being with him brings a tremendous amount of pressure. My every move is under a magnifying glass, and I don’t want to live such an exhausting life.]

Her bestie interjected:

[But he deliberately flaunts his new flame to provoke you, indicating that he still loves you. He’s a great man. Aren’t you considering going back to him and becoming his wife?]

Serena, with an air of maturity, replied:

[Our relationship has just evolved. From engaged couple to good friends, the love and support we’ve given each other won’t ever change. We’re not enemies—we will continue to care, support, and love each other in the future.]

When the atmosphere was right, Serena finally revealed:

[Sylvia, I consider you a good friend. That’s why I’m sharing this secret with you. You must help me keep it. It can’t leak out. Once both our parents make the announcement, I’ll personally talk about it.]

[Don’t worry, I won’t say a word!]

After sending this message, Sylvia couldn’t help but worry about Serena’s feelings.

Upon learning that Serena was feeling a bit down and guilty after letting go, she decided to call a few girlfriends and plan a surprise visit to the Collins family to lift Serena’s spirits.

After sending her message via WhatsApp, Serena thought she had perfectly covered her tracks and quickly put away her phone, preparing for a nap.

Around four in the afternoon...

Several beautiful heiresses arrived at the entrance of Reflections Villa in their luxurious cars.

Louisa had just returned from the hospital and looked a bit haggard from the death at Crystal. Seeing so many girls, she was momentarily taken aback.

"Mrs. Collins, it’s me, Sylvia! Long time no see. Why do you look so worn out?"

"Did you not sleep well? I’m Antonia, don’t you remember me?"

"Hello, I’m Melissa."

"I’m Nadia."

"I’m Christine, sorry to disturb you again."

Louisa took a closer look and realized these were all Serena’s besties, so she quickly invited them in.

"Come in and sit. I’ve been so busy these past few days, I haven’t had a chance to catch my breath. It’s been a while. You all have become even more beautiful."

"Thanks for your compliment, Mrs. Collins," the young heiresses replied with radiant smiles as they followed Louisa into the villa.

Their drivers and luxury cars waited outside the gate.

"No, Mrs. Collins, don’t wake her up. We’ll just look around, and when she wakes up, we’ll chat a bit and then leave."

"It’s a rare visit from you all. Stay for dinner tonight. Don’t be shy." Louisa called for a servant to serve them tea and snacks, kindly saying, "I’ll go upstairs and change. I’ll be right back."

"No, Mrs. Collins, you can go about your business. We’ll just stroll around the garden."

"You’ve added so many new species to your garden. It looks beautiful."

"We’ll just take some pictures here, play around, and wait. Please don’t worry about us."
