Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 410
Cordelia stood in the center of the banquet hall dressed in a long, cream-yellow, light chiffon dress. She looked graceful and gorgeous, like a fairy fallen to earth.Everyone’s attention was attracted to her.The host was dumbstruck for a moment before he recomposed himself and took a cue card from his assistant. He coughed and began to introduce Cordelia with a grin.“Everyone, you must’ve guessed it.” The host’s voice was sonorous. “This is Ms. Cordelia Jenner. Not only is she the big boss behind the western suburbs’ project, but she’s also the CEO of three listed companies!”That instant, the guests in the hall seemed frozen, and the whole world felt like it was sucked into a vacuum. There was not a sound or a movement.After a few seconds of silence, applause erupted in the hall.Cordelia wore a light smile as she raked her eyes across the guests and paused on Nelly. Zephyr held her hand tightly and exchanged a smile with her.All the light in the world paled next to her at

“This is my first time being a boss,” Cordelia said softly. “Please forgive me if I underperformed!”Zephyr grabbed her shoulders. “There are some partners over there. Let me introduce you to them!”The two of them left while the people around scattered. Nelly was the only one standing there clumsily.Joe and Mandy turned around after taking two steps out. “Why are you standing there? Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough!?”Nelly felt wronged and vengeful. She followed behind them and walked out of the banquet quickly. …“That’s pretty much what’s happening at the banquet.” Mr. Williams reported to Rowan.The latter stood at the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. He was in his private mansion in Centrolis, which was close to Royal Manor.“Our Cordelia is amazing. She doesn’t need anybody’s help, and she managed to handle that Nelly!” Charlie complimented.Rowan smirked. He could not help but feel proud.Of course she was amazing. Who was her father!?“But…” Rowa

The butler responded respectfully. “Madam Tanner arranged this.”Nelly’s heart jolted.Just when she was going in, she was stopped by the butler. “Madam Tanner is taking care of Ms. Kelly now. She prohibits anyone from going in.”“Not even me?” Nelly pretended to be calm. “Hah, I was the one who took care of her!”“That’s Madam Tanner’s order!” The butler’s eyes and expression were cold. “Please go back, Ms. Nelly!”“You…”Nelly was pissed. She flung her arms and turned around to leave.However, she was panicking inside.Mandy would find out her secrets since she was taking care of Kelly herself… She would be doomed by then.She must think of a plan to muddle through!She was walking back and forth in the courtyard. She was as frantic as an ant on a hot grill.At that moment, her phone vibrated.She was shocked. When she held her head down to look, she saw a message from Mona. She insisted on meeting no matter what.She wanted to ignore her initially. However, she thought

In reality, Nelly could not blame Mona.Nelly had never expected that Janine would be so cunning to be doing something else than she promised. She told the world that she had selected her daughter-in-law, which became a misunderstanding for her.In reality, the daughter-in-law she had selected was Cordelia!Nelly clenched her fists. “It’s that b*tch Cordelia who did this to you!”Mona lifted her eyes to look at her. She was shaking from the rage.“That’s right! It’s all that b*tch’s fault!“But Nelly, I can’t get close to her at all. I can’t even enter Imperial Media’s headquarters anymore… So, how do you suggest I take revenge now?”Nelly fell into silence before speaking again. “If we can’t do anything to her, we’ll hurt the people around her! As long as she's in pain, it’s the same no matter who we harm!”“The people around her?” Mona thought about it. “Didn’t you sabotage her brother? He was accused of cheating on his exams and was almost expelled. In the end—”“Enough!” T

Josiah looked innocent. “Z, what’s wrong?”Fredric read the atmosphere. He was quick to cover Josiah’s mouth. He waved at the attendant to stop him from bringing drinks.Zephyr only calmed down after taking a few deep breaths. He looked at Fredric and signaled him to meet at the lounge.They put on their bathrobes and went to the lounge.“You looking for me, Z?”Zephyr paused. A gleam flashed through his eyes. “There’s something that I’ve been confused about.”“What’s up?”“The stuff that we investigated… Did we miss out on something?”Fredric was not surprised. Instead, it seemed he had been waiting for him to ask that.“You’re suspecting that too, Z?” He said, “I’ve been suspecting that, but I thought I’d only tell you after finding more evidence.”“Robert told me that you found out Matthew bought an expensive insurance policy before the plane accident. The beneficiary clearly stated Rowan.”“Hah, Z, that’s against the air law!”Zephyr’s face was grim. “I spent a few days

“Can you recover all of the data?”“Should be. The repairman said the damages are light. We can recover the data when the circuit is fixed… Z, are you trying to find out how the two men boarded the yacht?”“No,” Zephyr said in a deep voice, “We received a message when we were on the island.”“Message?”“I was trying to recover my signal to contact you.” Zephyr looked at him. “Not long after I sent you the SOS message, I received a message.”Josiah frowned. “What was it about?”The former paused. “Save me.”Josiah was confused.“You bought a total of six yachts. Are the information systems connected? If they are, you’ll get that message on your other yachts too.”Josiah thought for a bit and shook his head.“It was in the beginning, but I changed the setting before the music event, and the information system is no longer connected. B-Because I was waiting for someone’s message that I didn’t want anyone to see.”He licked his lips. “Also, the yacht that was in the accident was

“Yeah, I’ve never heard of it either!” said Frederic, “Mr. and Mrs. Tanner have always told the public that Nelly Tanner’s their only daughter!”“If Kelly was really dead, how could she possibly send me a message to save her?”Josiah stumbled back, not daring to think further. He was never a believer of supernatural talks but not believing in it did not mean that it did not exist.Was it such a coincidence that he had run into one?“Z…” Josiah panicked. “It’s not some kind of unsolved murder, is it? Did Kelly… die a wrongful death?”Zephyr sighed and looked at Josiah again like he had failed him. How could there be something like that in the world? It was ridiculous!“Josiah, come on! When are you going to actually use your brain?!” Zephyr frowned. “You believe what Nelly Tanner says?”Josiah stared with his big, innocent eyes at a loss.“Let me ask you. Do you know how many illegitimate kids the rich all over the world have?”Josiah shook his head numbly.“So we don’t know i

Frederic grinned as well. “Mm, I can attest to this!”Zephyr coughed. “We’re talking about Josiah here. Why am I pulled into this!?“Since you’re determined to protect her, you have to find out everything.” He patted Josiah’s shoulder. “A man has to have the shoulders for responsibilities!”“Mm, got it, Z!”“After recovering the data from the yacht, check the location the message was sent from, and plan it out. Meanwhile, get someone to keep an eye on the Tanners, especially Nelly!”Zephyr raised his brows with a smirk. “I think you’ll definitely get unexpected results there!”…Cordelia went to the hospital with Linda for her pregnancy check, and everything went smoothly.The baby was almost five months, and Linda had a small bump, looking plump and radiant. The doctor also said that she could be a medical example with her excellent indicators.The two of them sat outside the hospital for some time after the checkup.The fall meant that it was cool with a gentle sun that toa

"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
