Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 377
“You despicable man!”Rowan was red from anger.Matthew grinned at him with a sly gaze and ill intentions.Rowan had been clueless about Zephyr’s private jet crash. He had gotten to know Matthew over several events back then, and they, at most, could be considered acquaintances.The Irwins in Southeast Aciatic ran a commercial airport other than manufacturing medicines. A few big air terminals in the region were also under their authority.That was how Matthew had his idea. He somehow brought a technician into the airport without Rowan’s knowledge and tinkered with Zephyr’s plane… He then produced an insurance policy with a huge sum insured and told Rowan that he was the beneficiary of the hundreds of millions of dollars.Never in Rowan’s dream would it occur to him that he would be framed for this disgusting and repulsive extent!“Mr. Irwin, if word about this gets out, the outsiders won’t listen to your explanation. They’ll only assume that someone under you harmed Zephyr!“Y

Cordelia frowned and looked at the source of the voice.She was greeted by the sight of a woman who wore bright makeup and large sunglasses that covered half of her face with dramatic earrings and necklaces as she sashayed in.“Isn’t it said that I have a professional team?” She took off her sunglasses and looked at Cordelia with hostility. “Where?”Mr. Smith and Cordelia exchanged a look, nodding lightly.Cordelia stretched her hand with a smile. “Ms. Mona Adams, right? I’m—”Mona looked arrogant and did not shake her hand. Cordelia’s hand hovered in the air for a moment before she pulled it back quietly.Mr. Smith stepped up to say, “Ms. Adams, this is Imperial Media’s senior assistant, Cordelia Jenner. She’s in charge of artist management. Communicate with her if you have any issues.”“Oh, Cordelia Jenner!” Mona smiled and asked, looking at her freshly made crystal manicure, “Does she have experience? I refuse to be taken care of by a random agent!”“Don’t worry, Ms. Adams

Cordelia had just poured herself a glass of water and taken a gulp, so she almost spat it out.She ended the call and left the room.Mona seemed impatient outside and glared at her in frustration.“What’s this? You call this professional?” she yelled. “Imperial Media’s a capable company in showbiz. How’s there an agent like this!? Where’s the courtesy when the artist came and was just abandoned at the side!?”Mr. Smith could not take it. “Ms. Adams, have you been courteous then?”Mona glared at him.“Ms. Cordelia is Madam Baker’s senior assistant. She oversees all artists' activities, schedules, training, and so on. Even Neil Harris has to follow her arrangement!“Or do you think you’re higher in status compared to Mr. Harris?”What Mr. Smith said carried a lot of weight. Mona took a step back in indignation.Cordelia smiled and picked up a folder on the desk. It contained the schedules of several artists in the company.“This is your arranged schedule.” Cordelia passed Mona’

Cordelia said nothing with a smile.Mona looked frantic.Trinity Lulham was a famous director in the business. Most of the films that she had directed won international awards. Not only was she doing well in the local entertainment industry, but she was also making a name for herself in the international film scene.Those in the entertainment industry wanted to get into Trinity’s production.Mona was no exception.It was just that Trinity was known to be a prodigy, and talented people were usually eccentric and prideful, so she had no regard for an influencer like Mona.Now, however…“D-Did you really call Trinity Lulham just now?”“That’s right.” Mr. Smith glanced at Mona. “Ms. Lulham has a new film recently starring Neil. Ms. Cordelia’s been in contact with her.”Mona was instantly regretful.“M-Ms. Cordelia…” She looked at Cordelia. “Will Ms. Lulham go on this show too? But I heard that she’s never been on variety shows!”Cordelia just kept smiling without saying anything

Rowan had been staring through the car window the whole morning.When Cordelia went to work in the morning, he saw her hasty figure. When she came downstairs to buy coffee around 10:00 a.m., he got to see a glimpse of her again.Until now, though, she had yet to leave the building.Rowan was a little disappointed but reluctant to leave, drumming his fingers on his knee.“Mr. Irwin, are we waiting?”Rowan’s subordinate, Charlie Williams, who had served him for many years, understood what he was thinking currently. The feeling of wanting to get close to someone but daring not to was the most tormenting.Charlie sighed. “Mr. Irwin, why aren’t you reuniting with them? It’s been so many years, and you’ve never forgotten them…”“Say no more.” Rowan’s tone was solemn.How could he forget them so easily? Other than Xyla, he had never loved anyone else his whole life—and Cordelia was their precious daughter.When he was younger, he had imagined countless times how he would pamper and d
Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 382
Charlie continued. “The major families in Centrolis all have their eyes on the plot of land, wanting to get a cut of profit there.“So, the joint hospital project is worth an attempt.”“Mm, I know,” answered Rowan.Currently, the hospital was secondary in priority to him. It was of utmost importance to meet Cordelia, talk to her, and have a proper look at her. He would be content then.Actually, before he went to see Cordelia, he had already gone to the University of Centrolis to sneak a look at Carter.His son was doing so well. He was young but was intelligent and eager to learn—a talent in the making. He had also gotten into the medical department and was innately gifted in research.Rowan was pleased. For some reason, though, his favor for his son was far from his affection for his daughter… He always thought that boys should be able to take hardships and not be doted on, while girls would be the apple of their fathers’ eyes and should be indulged and pampered.He chuckled.

“Yeah, it was just a call.”Mona blanched.It was true. Cordelia had not said anything. She had just been telling Mona’s situation as it was when she called Trinity.She was the one who had been too eager and impatient to get on Trinity’s new production and make an impression in front of the director! That was how Cordelia managed to trick her!Mona shook in rage. She gnashed her teeth. “You tricked me!”Cordelia looked stern and cold. “You defy the company rules and kick up a fuss over here. You really think you’re a princess with some fans on your side?”“Cordelia, you—”“The fans can put you on the pedestal. Similarly, they can drag you down to h*ll!” Cordelia’s words were impactful as they hit Mona like a rock.Mona froze, intimidated by Cordelia’s authority.“There’s me too.” Cordelia crossed her arms and smiled. “I can let you throw a fit here at this door, and I can ruin you for good! Try me if you don’t believe it!”Mona took a deep breath, her chest rising and fallin

Mona felt like her calves were going into cramps.What she just said came out of rage. It did not even go through a brain-to-mouth filter. Now that she calmed down and thought about it, this was not the time, even if she wanted to stand up for Nelly…She wondered what Cordelia would do to her. Would she slap her?Mona looked around instinctively. She was standing in the hallway by the door coincidentally, and a surveillance camera was nearby. She was relieved.If Cordelia dared lay a finger on her, she would spread the surveillance recording and include a few instigating words for her fans to attack this b*tch.“What? Have I said it wrong?” Mona regained her haughtiness.“How do you think the four major families maintain their status? It’s through marriages and exchanging resources, duh!” Mona scoffed.“If Mr. Zephyr runs into any sort of difficulty in the future, Nelly can help him, but you’ll only be his burden!“Ms. Cordelia, what else do you know other than depending on men

"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
