Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 416
“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

Cordelia held Linda’s hand and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.Linda’s life after marriage was blissful, actually. Nicholas personally cooked all three meals per day and prioritized her no matter how busy he was with the company.Being pregnant, Linda always had the weirdest cravings, but Nicholas would go around Centrolis to buy what she wanted, even when it was in the middle of the night.Perhaps it was because she had been too blissful that she could not take a single speck of flaw…Cordelia patted her back and convinced her softly. “Nicholas isn’t that kind of person. You have to think less of it and recall how good he’s been to you!“Don’t forget he had been wearing that ring since back then! How could such a devoted person have a change of heart?”Linda was quiet for some time before she nodded lightly.“He inevitably has to socialize in this industry,” Cordelia said softly. “You both have gone through so much. It’s impossible that you don’t have this level of trust.”

Mandy moved forward after that, with Nelly staying close behind her.Linda watched them and scoffed. “That’s Nelly Tanner? Hah, if I didn’t have a baby in me now, I’d really want to vent for you!”“I’m not such a pushover yet!” Cordelia smiled. “Don’t worry. She won’t get to bully me!”“Right. You have Zephyr with you. Who’d dare bully you?” Linda chuckled as well and suddenly asked thoughtfully, “Does Nelly look like her father?”“Why the question?”“I just think that she isn’t like Mrs. Tanner at all, not even in terms of their vibe!”Cordelia paused. She had never paid attention to this before.Linda had spent years learning sketching and oil painting, and she was the best at drawing portraits. Whenever she looked at people, she liked observing their facial shapes, lines, and stuff.“Linda, are you itching to draw again?”Linda giggled.“I shall send you home sooner then. You still have the whole afternoon. Draw to your heart’s content!”…Like a fragile piece of paper,

The police arrived at the scene of the accident shortly and pulled up the barricade tape.The front car was a luxury car with a high-security factor, so only two of its lights were shattered, and the back sank in a little.The back car, which was a van, was completely out of shape. The front was basically crushed as its engine smoked.“Linda, how are you feeling?” Cordelia’s face was pale from the shock.She thought her driving skill was decent and followed the traffic rules. Somehow, she was tailed while driving and could not even step on the brake in time when she was rammed, skidding dozens of meters away from the collision.It was fortunate that Linda had been hugging a pillow in the car, so her belly was not hurt with the cushion blocking.The ambulance came, and the paramedics hurriedly carried the two people in the van behind them out.The police came over and knocked on their window to ask about their state. Seeing that they were alright, they were asked to do a checkup

Cordelia was right. To the outside world, Kelly barely existed. Why would someone specifically abduct her?Cordelia pressed her lips together and said softly, “Zephyr, it’s strange. I think Nelly definitely has something to do with it.“It’s not that I have prejudice toward her or I’m picking on her. But think about it, a kidnapper didn’t want a known Tanner heiress but went through all that trouble for a Tanner heiress no one even knows about. Is it really about the money?”Cordelia paused and added, “If it’s for money, it’s not Kelly that should be abducted. If it's not for money, then… then what is it for?”“To get rid of her!” Zephyr said abruptly.Cordelia felt chills creep up.“Maybe my guess is wrong…”“Whether it’s right or wrong, nothing must be overlooked.” Zephyr held her shoulders and ran a thumb over her face.He smiled and felt proud looking at the girl who looked soft but was tough and smart.He took her back to the room hand in hand and called Robert before the

Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a look and immediately noticed what was wrong. “Heh, Zephyr, Josiah.” Joe forced a smile as he looked at them. “It’s late. It’s best that you go home. Thank you for your concern for Kelly. Josiah, especially…”Zephyr stepped forward with an impassive cryptic gaze. “Uncle Tanner, why isn’t the big sister around when something so big has happened to the little sister?”Joe was startled and stayed quiet.Zephyr smirked and already had a guess.After he left the hospital, he asked Robert to investigate the driver. Whatever method is used, he must spill the truth.Zephyr started the car after that while Cordelia was sleepy, leaning against the car window. He shifted her by her shoulders and draped his jacket over her. He then told her softly, “Ms. Cordelia, you have a contract to sign tomorrow. Don’t forget about it.”Cordelia tossed around and pried her eyes open to smile at Zephyr. His deep and husky voice was endlessly loving, drowning her in it.Sh

Rowan was taken aback. ‘Did Zephyr lose his memory? He does not look like it, judging by how he was all over Cordelia earlier.’He smiled at Cordelia. “Who has amnesia?”“It’s my friend…” Cordelia contemplated and said, “To be precise, it’s not exactly a friend. It’s someone my friend likes.“She’s the Tanners’ other heiress, Kelly Tanner.”“Oh?” Rowan creased his brows.This was heated news previously, and he had heard about it but just did not care enough. He did not care about anything that had nothing to do with Cordelia—what was more, this was the Tanners. Nelly Tanner already repulsed him!He advised, “Cordelia, why are you close to the Tanners? It’s their business whether they have another daughter. Why would you be concerned?”“I’m not close to them. It’s that… this Ms. Kelly is really someone my friend likes. I want to help them!”Cordelia’s voice was sweet. “Uncle Irwin, the Tanners aren’t that bad. Mrs. Tanner is reasonable and clear with what and who she likes and h

"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
