Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 121
“Yelena!”“Alright! Alright!” Mr. Rudd waved his hand impatiently and pointed at Cordelia. “You can go back now. I’ll only talk to Ms. Yelena today.”Yelena let out a smile, and before she entered the meeting room with Mr. Rudd, she darted a mocking gaze at Cordelia.Cordelia felt humiliated and sad at the time. That being said, she still collected all her stuff and limped out of the building. Little did she expect that…Mr. Rudd was a swindler! It was only after Yelena had signed a contract with Mr. Rudd that she found out his company was a shell company. It might look impressive on the surface, but it was nothing on the inside!However, Yelena was desperately trying to change her father's view of her, so she had already made the first payment right after he signed the contract to facilitate their cooperation. This proved to be a wrong move and caused the Jenners to lose nearly several million dollars. Cordelia felt like she was having a dream when she heard the news, and s

“Z?” Josiah called out to him several times. “Z? Are you there?”Marcus snapped himself back to reality and cleared his throat. Josiah chuckled and said, “Well, I finally understand what they mean by ‘losing in your own thoughts’. Even though I’m not there, I can imagine you staring at your wife right now.”Marcus said with a grim voice, “Josiah, if you’re asking for a beating, you can just let me know. You don’t have to remind me so euphemistically.”Josiah let out a few dry laughs. He knew that Marcus was going to enjoy the rest of the day with his wife, so he hastily ended the call.The next day, Linda ran into Yelena at an open-air western restaurant below the Jenner Building.”Ms. Jenner.” Linda smiled at her and pulled out a termination contract. “We've already talked to your secretary, so we just need your signature. Please sign your name here!”Yelena’s expression was already dark, and her face was even more contorted by her rage.The Jenner Group had become a laughing

Just by looking at the smiles on their faces, one could know how delicious and sweet the ice creams in their hands were.Linda frowned and felt a bit uncomfortable.Yelena let out a long sigh and said, “You treat her like your own sister, but she didn’t even invite you when she came out.“Linda, do you know who that woman in front of Cordelia is? She’s Zennie, the youngest daughter of the Hamertons from Centrolis! The last time our family held a charity dinner, she came hand in hand with Cordelia. She even called Cordelia her best friend! Hah, who knows what kind of trick that b*tch used to turn Zennie into her friend?“Your best friend has a new friend now, and not only that, but she has a better family background than you! Of course, she wouldn’t care about you anymore!” Yelena patted her shoulder and continued. “Well, I guess this is it. After all, human hearts are the hardest to see through.”After she finished speaking, she went away in her stilettos. Linda fixed her gaze o

Linda hoped that she had made a mistake as well.However, she had a very good memory since she was in high school, and she never forgot the people she had met before.Even if someone was wearing a mask, their eyes would not change. The more Linda thought about it, the more skeptical she became. She pitched her voice low and said, “In any case, just keep an eye on her. We still don’t know if she really is the daughter of the Hamertons or not.”Cordelia’s eyes went big in shock. “What I’m trying to say is that you should always stay vigilant so that bad people won't take advantage of you!”“But Linda…” Cordelia mumbled after a short while, “If she really isn't the daughter of the Hamertons, then what is her purpose in approaching me? Besides, the charity dinner last time was specifically held for her, and Yelena personally confirmed her identity!”Even if she can deceive me, can she lie through the eyes of the Jenners and everyone else?”“How can you trust your sister? She’s an

Linda tried to snap her ankle back into position, but a sharp pain instantly shot up her leg as soon as she tried to move her ankle. She raised her head and looked into the sky. It was already afternoon, and the fog had started to rise in the mountain. Due to her experience in hiking, she had chosen a track that no one had ever taken before. It occurred to her that she was going to get stuck in the mountain! She quickly pulled her phone out of her backpack, but there was no signal there.She tried to stand up, but she could barely stand up, even if she tried to grab the tree beside her.Linda panicked. There was no one else on this mountain, and as the sky got darker, she could hear the cries of the animals. Her scalp tingled, and tears began to gush out of her eyes uncontrollably. She turned the phone on and off to find a signal, but the battery of the only phone that could save her life was running out.She dragged herself forward on the ground and tried her best not to make

Linda felt as if her heart was hit by something.She had not had this strange sense of urgency since the fight with that man.She frowned, instinctively wanting to push Seth away. However, he held her hand even tighter.“Hey…”“You’re hurt and can’t walk,” he explained flatly. “Stop being stubborn.”She pursed her lips and saw his clean and slender hand.That was the hand that held the scalpel. It was beautiful.Meanwhile, Seth was gentle, handsome, and elegant.If it was not him who saved her like a savior today, she might still be stuck on the mountain.As she thought to herself, a subtle sense of pain came from her ankle. She frowned and almost lost her balance.“Watch out!” Seth quickly held her waist.He found a big rock and helped her to sit after dusting it off.“It looks more swollen now.” Seth removed her sock and checked thoroughly. “Go to my clinic later. I’ll get the nurse to handle it.”“Hmm, thanks.” Linda’s voice was soft. She suddenly recalled something and

“Cordelia, what’s this?”“Eat it.” Cordelia was expressionless. “It’s bad to eat instant noodles so frequently. How many times have I told you that!?”Linda felt a lump in her throat. There were tears in her eyes.Cordelia looked at her for a long time. She finally stopped pretending and chuckled out loud.“What’s this? It’s not the first time I brought you food. Must you cry?”Linda swallowed the food in her mouth. Lifting her red eyes, she finally spat out two words.“I’m sorry.”Cordelia felt her heart thumping.She knew how proud Linda was. She never stepped back and apologized whenever they fought. However, she also knew how much she would be willing to bend over for her.In reality, it was just an argument between two good friends.It was not as serious.Cordelia smiled. She held Linda’s hand—her eyes were mischievous yet gentle. “Okay, all friends fight, don’t they? Since when do we hold grudges?”“Mm-hmm!” Linda chuckled with all her heart.“Cordelia, the pork chop

Marcus had a pampering smile on his face as he looked at the woman in his embrace gently.“Hubby.” Cordelia looked mischievous and rubbed against him. “Why don’t we help them?”“Help them?” He was stunned. How would one help such a thing? He did not have experience in this.“That’s right!” His cute wife was serious about it. “If not for Dr. Stafford, we wouldn’t be together. Now that I think about it, we must thank him, the matchmaker!“It would be perfect if we could matchmake him and Linda!”Marcus’ eyes turned grim. He said nothing.He thought more than she did, and his thinking process was more complicated than hers. He did not want to be dragged into things like this for nothing.After all, he did not know much about Linda. Moreover, Seth had saved him. He could not drag him into trouble.However, Cordelia was excited. She was eager to play matchmaker.Marcus smiled and played with her hair.Cordelia leaned on his shoulder like a cute kitten. “Hubby, I thought of a great

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
