Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 249
The landlord called, asking Cordelia if she wanted to continue renting the place.She felt a squeeze in her heart as she had many memories with Zephyr there. Although she was mad at him, she did not want to throw those memories away.“Say something, Mrs. Grist!” shouted the landlord, “I’ll rent it to someone else if you won’t! The unit is selling like hot cake!”“You can’t rent it to someone else!” Cordelia slipped. “We signed a one-year contract, and it has not expired yet!”“It has not, but you’ll have to pay the rent, Mrs. Grist!”“Don’t worry. I won’t owe you the rent!” Cordelia pouted. “I’ll transfer it to you soon!“Also, please remember that I’m not Mrs. Grist!” She raised her voice and enunciated each word clearly to the landlord. “My husband is Mr. Hamerton!”“Oh… Okay, Mrs. Hamerton!” The landlord did not care if it was Grist or Hamerton as long as she could get the payment.Cordelia sighed helplessly after hanging up the phone.Xyla smiled and placed her hand on her

Cordelia was stunned as she stared at her phone screen.A gentle, smiling face appeared on the screen when she accepted the video call.“What are you doing?”She said nothing and turned off her camera. Zephyr did not mind that as he remained smiling at her. His deep voice was electric.“I’m taking a stroll in the courtyard.”Cordelia was stunned again. She looked at the screen. The courtyard was massive, and she could see that it was well-maintained, even if it was dark.There were mountains of different heights and sophisticated buildings behind him. She could hear water flowing from the waterfall every now and then.‘So, this is where he grew up…’It was heaven and earth compared to hers.Cordelia suddenly felt self-abased. She sat on the window while squeezing the cushion beneath, feeling uneasy.Zephyr did not hear her voice for a long time while the screen was turned off, yet he felt good. The reason being she did not turn off the phone—she was still there. He could feel

Zephyr chuckled. “What is it?”“I got admitted by exception!”“Admitted by exception?”“Yeah, University of Centrolis! I got into the medical department!”Cordelia smiled and took back her phone.“Carter really got into the University of Centrolis?” Zephyr was surprised. The boy was only 16-17 years old and had not even finished high school yet.“Mm, the admission letter is here too.” Cordelia was proud of her younger brother. “The professors from the University of Centrolis came personally for the selection. Carter passed a total of five tests and came out first in all of them!”“Congratulations!” Zephyr smiled. His brother-in-law was quite like him—outstanding and enrolled in a famous university at a young age.In that case, would Carter be moving to Centrolis for university? If Cordelia and her mother could come along with the chance…Zephyr kept a straight face, but he was secretly thrilled.He said softly, “Carter, let me know the day of registration. I’ll make arrangeme

Xyla was pale as she trembled. Her eyes were slightly red as she stared at William like she had seen a ghost.He had indeed taken her in back then, but he had also destroyed her! He had made her think that Cordelia was his daughter, and she nearly did not want her!Memories from years ago rushed into Xyla’s mind like a tidal wave. The past pain and darkness were wounds and scars she no longer wanted to revisit in this life.“Are you still thinking about that man?” William snickered. “He’s long gotten married with children! He didn’t want you a long time ago! He took over the Irwins and used you to achieve his goal, then kicked you to the side!”“Enough!” Xyla screamed, covering her ears.“I’m the only one in this world who’s nice to you!” William’s face was twisted. “Xyla Irwin! The Jenner Group’s exploring a new market. If this medicine is successfully developed, then—”“Impossible!” growled Xyla. “Don’t even think about it! I’ve destroyed it. It’s not with me now. You aren’t th

“William Jenner, do you want to bet with me?” Zephyr smirked. “Even if you and Yelena die here today, you will be just two more missing people in this city, and I won't become a criminal.”“You…”“Consider who others have as support before you harass them!”Zephyr’s presence was intimidating, and William could not help stumbling back. Yelena looked like she was not going to make it as she flailed around.Zephyr said darkly, “William Jenner, consider properly. Are you going to continue confronting me, or are you pissing off with this brainless daughter of yours?”William’s knees buckled. His voice was shaky when he spoke after a while. “Let go of my daughter… We leave right now.”“Leave?” Zephyr cracked a grin. “Do you not understand words now, Mr. Jenner? I said piss off!”He loosened his hold, and Yelena fell to the floor with a plop, scrambling away.…William did not get anything but was humiliated. When he left, his limbs were not cooperating, and he crawled out like a dog

“What is it?” Cordelia was surprised.Zephyr held her hand gently.“You have to end your marriage with Marcus Grist right away.” He looked at her. “You don’t have to worry about this. I know how to go about it.“There’s one more thing…” He smiled. “Please take over the project on the western suburbs of Centrolis, Ms. Cordelia Jenner. Let the land unleash higher commercial value!”“What?” Cordelia shook her head quickly. “No way, I don’t know anything!”“No one knows everything naturally,” Zephyr said softly. “Learn while you’re at it. You’ll grow fast.”“But—”He said clearly, “Cordelia, you can do it.”Cordelia bit her lips and looked down.It felt strange. Perhaps it was her inferiority complex. She felt like this was what he bestowed.In spite of it, when he was not yet Zephyr, she had not felt this way at all, even when he gave her the family heirloom, his salary bankcard, the cafe…Cordelia quietly pulled her hand out of his with a sullen look.“Cordelia, I don’t mean

Nicholas rolled his eyes at him with a scoff and took him to the room.When the employees saw the light at the door, they ran toward it.“What are you doing!?” growled Nicholas.The group fell to their knees on the floor. “Sir, have mercy! We don’t know where we met you and how we offended you… Can you tell us?“We’ll do whatever you want us to do!”Zephyr stepped forward and tossed the marriage certificates in front of them.“This…”“These two people on the marriage certificates would like to end their marriage.” Zephyr looked at them coldly. “But the man isn’t around. Give me the fastest solution!”The group looked at each other in bewilderment. A light shone above them, allowing them to read the details on the certificates.“Marcus Grist?” One of them recognized the name and asked shakily, “Isn’t this… the son-in-law of the Jenners?”“You know him?” Zephyr arched his brow.“No, I don’t…” The person was drenched in sweat and dared not look up while spilling the beans amids

Cordelia had been taking care of Xyla by the bed, but the latter did not seem to get better. The previous treatments seemed to have been wasted effort after William and Yelena came for trouble.No matter how much it pained Cordelia to see her mother so sullen and dazed, she could only force herself to perk up.Seth asked the doctor in charge of Xyla in the past and specially asked a psychiatric expert. They came to the unanimous conclusion to switch up the place Xyla was living in.“Cordelia, perhaps changing the environment will be helpful to her condition,” Seth told her. “I’ve studied many cases that are similar to her condition. Most have differing levels of recovery after a change of environment.“And she has had unhappy experiences in Jangasas. Don’t let her stay around this place. Changing up the place or lifestyle will be beneficial for her.”Cordelia sighed and recalled what Zephyr had said the other day. Were they going to Centrolis with him?“Cordelia…” Xyla opened her

"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
