Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 455
Clark was astonished.Liam was usually cold and strict. Rarely were there times like this when he huffed with a glare. It was pretty rare, and what was rarer was that he acted this way because of Cordelia.Clark smiled and helped the old man back to his room for rest. The servant sent in the tonic that he took every night.Liam finished it with a furrow of brows and placed the bowl back on the tray with a thud.Clark was worried. “Sir, any medicine has its side effects. I think it’s better that you drink less of it.”“It’s fine.” Liam waved a hand. “I’ve been drinking this since I was young. It’s been decades now, and it’s already a habit. Besides, these are holistic herbs. They’re nourishing. They aren’t harmful!”Clark wanted to say more, but nothing came out despite his open mouth.In Royal Manor at night…When Cordelia came out from her shower, she saw that Zephyr was already asleep. She checked the time—it was only 8:00 p.m.Work was busy recently, and Zephyr frequently w

Cordelia screamed, but it was too late for her to run. Zephyr pressed against her within a blink of an eye.The man grabbed her wrists and whispered into her ear, “Wifey, how much is there in the card?”She was honest and answered without even thinking about it, “This is your old black card. There’s no money in there, but it’s unlimited spending—”The beastly-like man kissed her before she was done speaking.She could not breathe.…When they were done, Cordelia lazily leaned on him. She felt as if she had collapsed.Zephyr grabbed her shoulders softly, revealing a satisfied smile.He was not sleepy at all.“No!” She stopped him in time. “I’m exhausted. Please let me go…”He grinned. “Ms. Jenner, your service is unlimited.”Cordelia grabbed the blanket tightly to wrap herself in it. Her big eyes looked at him with her guard up.Zephyr was soft-heartened. He grabbed her into his embrace and patted her smooth back.“Okay, I’ll let you go,” he said gently. “Have a good rest.”

Janine had said that he would not have to show mercy to Rowan if they saw each other…No matter what grudge they had, Rowan had offended his mother before.Offending his mother would mean offending him. Naturally, he would not tolerate him!“I don’t know much about him,” Zephyr said with his deep voice. “Cordelia, stay away from him.”“Why?”“Because…” He could not give a reason. “No matter what, this man is shrewd. Watch out when you work with him. Apart from working, stay away from him.”But…Cordelia pouted.She was upset when she got home and saw her mother being alone and that only the succulents on the balcony were her company.At that time, she had an idea. She wanted to get her mother a boyfriend. She would not be so lonely, at least.She thought about it, and Rowan seemed to be the only one who fulfilled her conditions.“Okay, Cordelia.” Seeing her hesitation, Zephyr gave a light peck on her forehead and said gently. “Let’s talk about something else.”Cordelia yawn

“School ceremony?” Cordelia was stunned. “What’s that about?”“He got a scholarship for this semester again.” When Zephyr talked about him, it was as if he was proud of his own brother. “Also, his thesis was published in a major journal. It got the attention of the experts in medicine, which won him an academic award!”Cordelia took over his phone.It was okay before she looked. Now only did she find out that Carter had been talking to Zephyr often,He would talk to his brother-in-law instead of his sister.To him, Zephyr was an invincible superman!Therefore, it was only natural that he shared his proud achievement with him as soon as he found out.“That guy!” She pretended to be mad. “It’s as if I’m nothing to him!”“Are you jealous?” Zephyr chuckled. He showed her the chat that they had a few days ago.[Brother-in-law, I’d like to buy a gift for mom and sister when I get the scholarship. What do you think they’d like?]Cordelia was soft-hearted. There were tears in her eye

“Hah, what nonsense!”An ear-piercing voice suddenly sounded.Cordelia looked where it came from. The person was just behind her. It was a sloppy boy with disdain and arrogance written all over his face.“I wonder what Carter did.”Others were whispering to each other too.“I’m guessing he has been kissing the department head’s *ss to be winning this award?”“Isn’t it just a medical thesis? Everyone has done it! This boy was still playing in the sandbox when I was in the lab!”“That’s right! I heard he was only 16 when he got into the university…”“What do you know?” Another person went along with them. “He has an amazing sister. Can you beat him to that?”“Sister? What does she do?”“I think she’s an escort…”The few boys were discussing and laughing.Cordelia looked at them angrily. Suddenly, a big hand patted her shoulder.“Don’t be mad,” Zephyr said softly.“I’m not.” Cordelia looked at him. “I’m just curious as to why a 100-year-old school would have such students.”

Cordelia glanced at them coldly and stared at the boy named Tony.He was quite handsome. He had smothering eyes and a sharp nose. He had a cool, bad-boy look.If he was in movies, he would have many women on their knees.However, she clenched her fists when she recalled what they said about Carter.“The celebrities Imperial Media signs are reputable for having artistic skills and good ethics.” She scoffed. “Apart from good acting skills, they need a great reputation in the circle.“So, what makes you think you deserve to be signed with Imperial Media?”They were stunned at the same time.Perhaps they grew up in a first-class environment and were spoiled—some were even acting since they were young—so they were the ones who picked the job instead of the other way around.They had never encountered anyone who dared to talk to them like that.Nevertheless, one of them was considered sharp to have thought about what happened.“This lady… She asked if we’re interested in Carter’s s

“Since you know Sol Entertainment’s boss, I have a favor to ask. I wonder if you can do something for me.”Tony became proud instantly. He glared at him and scoffed. “I don’t know you, so why would I help you?”“We just have to get familiar with each other, then we’ll become friends, won't we?” Zephyr smiled. “We’re in the same circle. We should share the good stuff. We’ll soar together.”Tony rolled his eyes. “What’s up?!”“Sol Entertainment has a new movie coming out. It’s by director Ray Allen. I think it’s called The Soul of the Mountain and River. I’m hoping to…”“Don’t tell me you want to act in it too?”Zephyr smiled. “I’d like to invest.”“Tony, call N!” Someone next to him poked him. “It’s just a call away!”Tony was stunned.He took a good look at Zephyr. He was not sure if he was wealthy or a swindler. Why would someone ask to invest in a movie as soon as he showed up?The most important thing was… he didn’t know Nicholas at all!He looked awkward as he was coming

“The best hotel in Centrolis is Splendor Dynasty!” Cordelia teased him while smiling. “Are you sure you want to do this?”“It’s different this time!” Carter said seriously. “Brother-in-law, don’t call them in advance. I want to treat the two of you with the money I earned myself!”“Hmm, I agree with that.” Zephyr nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything today. Just treat yourself as a regular customer at the hotel.”Carter agreed happily.They got home to pick up Xyla and got Janine there too.Zephyr secretly got the people to save the best private room. However, he reminded them a few times not to waive the bill but to give the basic discount.The others in the hotel did not understand that. Only the manager did.Mr. Z’s brother-in-law wanted to buy dinner. It was only natural that they fulfilled his wish!Therefore, the manager came up with a new menu. They served the best dishes in the private room, but it was cheaper than the other menus.Robert looked at the

"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
