Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 328
The signing ceremony was not big in size, but those who attended had business relationships with Zephyr and were of high status.The western suburbs land project involved the interests of various parties. The signing ceremony this time was mainly agreements among a few subcontractors and design firms. These contracts required Cordelia’s signature to be effective.Cordelia was in the restroom. Those who did her makeup were chief artists of top international cosmetic brands. As for the clothing rack that the assistant wheeled over, a few haute couture gowns glittered like fairy dresses. They were specially tailored for her, and there was only one of each in the world.The stylists were discussing which dress Cordelia’s makeup look should go with while she was wielding a signing pen and signing her name seriously on a few documents.Zephyr came in with a knock on the door. He could not help adoring her, looking at her earnest look. He went over to sit next to her and waved at the styl

“I just want to talk to you.” Nelly looked at her.Cordelia kept a distance from her and scanned the room out of the corner of her eye to see if there was anything she could defend herself with.“Ms. Jenner, I know that I’ll never compare to you in Zephyr’s heart,” Nelly said softly. “But our marriage is fixed by grandpa. The Tanners and the Hamertons have known each other for generations too. This isn’t a relationship he can just cut off!”“I’ve heard this many times,” replied Cordelia. “Ms. Tanner, I’d also like to tell you that some things aren’t meant to be. Some people won’t change their mind because your families have known each other for so long, either.”“I understand.” Nelly kept her eyes on Cordelia. “I’ve actually given up. Since Zephyr doesn’t belong to me, I might as well let go of him. He’ll be much happier being with you too.“But what I want to tell you is that you’d better deserve him.”Cordelia’s heart squeezed.“Hah, to be honest with you, I’ve grown used to e

Nelly froze. She moved her lips but could not say anything.Cordelia smiled and walked out of the restroom gracefully.She had not wanted to fight for anything, but someone had to provoke her, so she did not mind battling to the end either. Since she had boldly claimed that she was the lady of the Hamertons, she had to show it.She confidently walked into the banquet hall and stood next to Zephyr, holding his arm lightly with grace and composure.“Mm, this dress is a good choice.” Zephyr smiled. “Everyone’s looking at you.”“Could your choice for me go wrong?” She stood next to him endearingly.Robert entered with a few business partners from Feranche.Zephyr nodded with a polite smile and exchanged pleasantries with them. Just when he was going to introduce Cordelia to them, Nelly suddenly walked out from the side.“Zephyr!”Her appearance immediately attracted some gazes.Some people there more or less knew about the Hamertons and Tanners’ relationship. In their impression,

How could this be… How could Cordelia possibly know Feransai!?Nelly’s balled fists shook.Since she had met Yelena at Yale’s the other day, she kept an eye on the woman only to later discover that she was gullible. Thus, she bought her over.Yelena wanted a studio, so Nelly gave her a studio—as long as this woman gave her any valuable information against Cordelia.It was unexpected that what Yelena told her was fake!Yelena had confidently promised her the other day—“Don’t worry, Ms. Tanner! Cordelia didn’t go to school much since she was young, and she didn’t study hard even when she did. She didn’t achieve much in the end! She could go to university because my father bought her way in!”Nelly was so angry that her teeth chattered. Now that she thought of it, they could be lies Yelena made up out of her jealousy for Cordelia, and she actually was dumb enough to believe her!“Ms. Tanner.” Robert’s voice suddenly came from the back. It made Nelly jump.“Do you really think our

“Why are you glaring at me?” Cordelia was exasperated by how he looked.“Cordelia, you…”Zephyr did not know how to continue his sentence. Should his tone be hard or soft? Should he act tough or negotiate with her? How was he supposed to be more indirect when he talked to her, and how should he mull over his word choice…Zephyr pursed his lips, and his originally cold face looked darker.“Alright, I know what you want to say.” Cordelia smiled and intertwined their fingers together as she looked at him innocently.“This is your mom’s instruction. To sign Neil to our company no matter what. We have to agree no matter how harsh his conditions are.”“Why?” Zephyr suddenly raised his voice.Cordelia was startled and stared at him dumbly.Zephyr coughed. “I mean… There isn’t just one award-winning actor in showbiz. Why must it be him?”If it were possible, he would chase Neil out of the entertainment industry!“Yeah, there are plenty of award-winning actors, but one who can act, ha

Yelena froze before she was filled with delight.Marcus had been staying at the Janners recently. The man was a freeloader and had awful habits. William had long been repulsed by him. It was just that he could not chase the latter out since he was under Yale. He also turned a blind eye to Marcus’ sneaky behavior for this reason.With what Nelly said now, she meant to release Marcus again… Not only would the repulsive man be sent away, but Cordelia would be played as well!Yelena grinned and massaged Nelly’s legs with more enthusiasm.“Ms. Tanner, you should consider what I said last time!”“What?” Nelly picked up a glass of soda water and glanced at Yelena nonchalantly.“You know… publicize the b*tch and Marcus’ marriage!”Nelly squinted and thought about it.The last time she met Yale, the man brought it up but did not go through with it. It was mainly to get Marcus to make a fuss about it in public so everyone would find out that he was Cordelia’s husband and Zephyr had only

“What?” Nelly paused. “She hits people too?”“Yeah!” Yelena squinted. “The b*tch acts pitiful in front of others but behaves like a whole different person in the blink of an eye! She asked the female superior to go somewhere deserted and slapped her a few times, taking advantage of the fact that there weren’t any surveillance cameras!“So, we could set things up in advance at the birthday party, Ms. Tanner!”“How?”“Get Cordelia somewhere without anyone as well, and then… you’ll have to suffer a little. Slap yourself a few times, and I’ll get people over to show everyone that Cordelia hit you!”“Well…” The more Nelly listened to it, the more wrong it felt.Why must she slap herself? To be pitiful? Even then, she did not want to do it. Moreover, she no longer dared trust Yelena’s tricks completely. It was just that she liked this plan, so she wanted to try it. What if it worked!?“Ms. Tanner, you must act weak and pitiful by then!” Yelena went on. “Show everyone that Cordelia’s a

It was Cordelia’s off day today. Even though it was her rest day, she was still busy. Proposals and reports surged into her email like a wave. Her phone and laptop were never free since early in the morning.Helen brought her breakfast that had been heated up for the third time.“Ms. Cordelia, have breakfast first!” Helen was anxious. “It’s already 9:00 a.m. It might as well be lunch if you keep delaying it!”Cordelia’s eyes were on the screen as she replied in passing, “Mm… I know. Leave it here first. I still have a few words in the agreement to edit…”“You said the same the last time I brought it up!”Helen pouted and passed the congee to her, standing in front of her.“Mr. Zephyr told me personally to watch you finish it this time!”“Huh?” It took Cordelia a while to tear her gaze off the screen. “Zephyr… isn’t home?”“No!” Helen smiled. “He told you when he left. He had an emergency in the office, so he had to go and take care of it!”“Oh, I forgot…”“You didn’t forget.

"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
