Chapter 2472
"Joshua, what are you talking about? I told you that Hugh isn't my boyfriend!" Renee said.
"I'm telling the truth. You confirmed it by not denying it just now in the hotel, right? Besides, it's normal for women your age to
date, so you don't have to hide it," Joshua said righteously and sneered inwardly.
Ever since he found out that Leon was Renee's boyfriend, his jealousy and contempt toward Leon grew.
However, Renee protected Leon and he dared not to cross the line. However, he felt increasingly jealous, thinking that Leon did
not deserve a beauty like Renee.
At that moment, his chance came. He exposed Renee's relationship with Leon on purpose, making it look like he was standing
up for Leon when he was trying to set Leon up.
Given Renee's status and her breathtaking beauty, everyone would target Leon once they found out that he was Renee's
boyfriend.
Once people started targeting them, Renee and Leon might break up under pressure. That way, he would feel slightly better.
"Why you!" Renee was furious but rendered speechless.
After all, what Joshua said was the truth. Back in the hotel, she did not explain much because she did not want to further the
misunderstanding. Her silence could be mistaken as confirmation and she could not argue with that.
"Shut up, Joshua! Renee has her reasons for hiding it, so don't run your mouth!" Ariella said.
She already guessed that Renee was keeping her relationship with Leon a secret for fear of being opposed by her family, yet
Joshua exposed it in front of so many people. If the Morrisons caught words of this, both Renee and Leon would be doomed.
Hence, she stopped Joshua in time to prevent him from causing trouble.
However, in her panic, she did not do so wisely and the way she phrased her words indirectly confirmed what Joshua said.
"So that guy is Miss Morrison's boyfriend!"
Upon hearing what Joshua and Ariella said, everyone was shaken to the core.
Many of them knew that connection between the Oxfords and the Morrisons, and they knew Ariella and Renee were best friends.
Since both Joshua and Renee confirmed it, they no longer doubted it.
Most importantly, Renee was a lady of high status and the most beautiful woman in the western region. Almost every man here
considered Renee as their dream woman and would kill if it meant they could be with her.
However, the woman of their dream was now snatched away by a nobody from the southern region who was merely a vice
president of a small firm.
From their perspectives, Leon did not deserve Renee. Their hearts broke and were filled with jealousy toward Leon.
