Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 309
Nelly raised her voice. “This is a tacit understanding between the Hamerton and Tanner elders!”Cordelia smiled and said gently, “Ms. Tanner, I’m rather ignorant. I don’t quite understand things like ‘tacit understanding’.“I wonder, if the adults of both families approve and understand each other, and Zephyr doesn’t reject it, why is it ‘tacit’? Since it’s not announced, it means that both families still have reservations about this marriage.“Or perhaps…” Cordelia said, looking Nelly in the eyes, “Zephyr doesn’t even acknowledge it!”“You—”Nelly was flustered.Cordelia raised her hand to run it through her hair. The big emerald jade ring on her ring finger exuded extraordinary loftiness and affection.It stung Nelly’s eyes. She was resentful but knew she could not show it on her face, no matter how furious she was.This was the Bayers’ place. If she got into a fight with Cordelia here, she would be ruining the Tanners’ image.Zephyr was also here. She could not make him thi

Cordelia and Nelly stood facing each other. As Cordelia looked at Nelly’s quirked lips, she clenched her hands into fists.“Ms. Jenner, don’t you understand what I mean?” Nelly snickered. “I won’t stop you from being together with Zephyr. Even when I marry him in the future, I’ll ensure you’re well taken care of. I won’t get jealous, either!“Heh, things like these are actually common in families like ours. I’ll adapt to it slowly, and I believe that you’ll get used to it too!”Cordelia bit her lips and took in a deep breath. Nelly might as well just say “mistress”.Nelly’s smile was vicious as she looked at Cordelia quietly. This woman overestimated herself and humiliated her by talking about exchanging rings the last time. She must not show her any mercy this time!“Yeah, Nelly’s right!” A brilliant voice rang suddenly.Nelly’s eyes brightened up. She was all smiles and greeted sweetly, “Auntie!” Just as she was going to run over, though, Janine moved to the side and refused

“Is it my fault then?”Janine felt guilty when she yelled this. After all, she was the one who had recognized the wrong person first, mistaking Yelena, who had been messing around with Yale, as Cordelia.However, being unreasonable had always been her style.She cleared her throat and glanced at Zephyr, forcefully turning the table around. “Cordelia’s wonderful. Why didn’t you let me meet her sooner? You just don’t want us in-laws to meet, do you?”Zephyr was rendered speechless. He remembered a certain someone saying that his marriage did not only concern the Hamertons but also the Bakers. The same someone had also said that he had to choose either Cordelia or her if he dared marry Cordelia.“Mom.” Zephyr was exasperated. “Can you be a little more reasonable? Weren’t you—”“I said I have a daughter-in-law I like, but you weren’t willing at all and even threatened me with pulling your shares out!”Zephyr was baffled. The blame game could be played this way?He looked at Cordeli

Janine was glad to be of service. “Sure! What is it?”Cordelia glanced at Zephyr and giggled. “Can you get my salary card back for me?”“What?”“I haven’t even gotten to hold my salary card ever since I started working in the news agency!”Janine frowned. “Which news agency is it? That’s too much! How dare they delay payment?”“The agency didn’t delay my payment.” Cordelia met Zephyr’s widened eyes and pointed at him with a chuckle, “He took it!”Janine was surprised.Although she had opinions about Zephyr recently, she still thought her son was a responsible man. ‘W-When did he develop the awful habit of snatching a woman’s salary card!?’“Zephyr Hamerton!” she roared.A lot of people attending the event turned.Zephyr could not afford to embarrass himself like this and quickly eyed his mother to lower her volume. Janine did not care. She slapped him again.“You brat! How dare you snatch Cordelia’s salary card? She works so hard to make money every month, and all of that

“The project requires people from the University of Centrolis’ design department, and Murphy Tanner is on the board of trustees.” Zephyr scoffed. “It’s also one lucrative project that everyone wants in, so the Tanners definitely aren’t missing this chance.“More like Nelly Tanner isn’t missing this chance to get close to you? This way, she’ll have an excuse to visit the Hamerton Group every day to discuss work with you!”Zephyr glared at him. His cold gaze told him that he should shut up if he had nothing better to say.Nicholas only cackled more gleefully. After that, he patted Zephyr’s shoulder seriously. “To be honest, I am the boss of an entertainment company and not much in the high society of Centrolis. But one word from you, and I’ll do my best!”“Thanks.” Zephyr patted his wrist as well. “But Nicholas, you probably don’t know that I’m only working for someone too, yeah?”“Huh?”“Make a guess. Who’s the big boss behind this plot of land and the listed companies Donmein and

At the Hamerton Group’s top floor, the meeting felt exceptionally solemn and serious due to Liam’s presence.Liam was seated at the table, dressed in a black silk suit. His silver hair told of the years he had lived. Even with age catching up to him, his gaze was bright and lively while he exuded a sense of authority.He looked at Zephyr and asked, “Has the handover procedure with the Baker Group been completed?”“Yes,” Zephyr answered calmly. “Madam Baker is the largest shareholder of Imperial Media right now.”“Mm.” Liam nodded with a complicated gaze flashing in his eyes. “I hope this company shows its value under Madam Baker.”Even when he had conflicts with the Bakers in the past, he was definitely able to still be tactful with how long he had been in the business world.Moreover, the interests of the Hamertons and the Baker Group were intertwined and complicated. Zephyr was Janine’s son, and that meant that it would be impossible for the Hamertons to cut contact with the Ba

“You brought Cordelia to meet your mother?” asked Liam.“Yes,” answered Zephyr. “My mom likes her very much.”“Hah!” Matthew snorted. “Zephyr, Ms. Jenner is really something, huh!? What trick did she play that she won over Madam Baker, who’s so dominant and picky?”Zephyr’s gaze darkened.His uncle had said this to create an impression that Cordelia was scheming to his grandfather.Liam was already dissatisfied with Cordelia’s family background, and it would be harder to win his acknowledgment with the addition of the label of a scheming woman.Zephyr took in a deep breath and chortled. “Cordelia does get along very well with my mom. This one, she does better than you!”“What did you say?” Matthew frowned. “Zephyr, why are you getting me involved?”“I’m just stating a fact.”Zephyr twirled his pen leisurely. “Uncle Matthew, all these years you’ve spent with my mom, you don’t seem to have received any positive comment?“Even though she’s a little picky, she’s a good judge of p

Matthew’s eyes widened in disbelief.“Looks like it’s useless to you, whether it’s taking the subsidiary from you or dismissing you!” Liam looked at him coldly. “You don’t have to come to the company anymore, then! The projects you have are to be distributed to the Hamerton kids!”“Zephyr, make arrangements for it. Those who take over must have a virtuous character. No more blunders!”“Mm, I understand.” Zephyr smiled as he already had a plan in his mind.He had a lot of peers in the family. His elder cousins were mature and steady people who were trustworthy.“As for the western suburbs land…” Liam thought about it. “Zephyr, take full charge. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”“Alright.”Zephyr wore a small smile.He managed to dismiss Matthew from work in the board meeting last time with a few words, and now, with the same brief words, he kicked the man out of the project.It was like an obstacle removed for him, but the Tanners were still around.Zephyr said with a low tone, “

"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
