Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 459
“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

Cordelia was shocked that Rowan raised his voice. She put down her iPad and looked at him quietly.“I-I mean…”He could not give a reason for his behavior.He wanted to say that Zephyr was alright, although he did not meet his standard of the perfect son-in-law. However, it seemed difficult to find someone who was better than him.Nonetheless, he just did not like that guy, no matter what.Given that he was Janine’s son…His beloved daughter would suffer from having an evil mother-in-law like her!“I mean, you’re still young.” Rowan looked at Cordelia in concern. “There are too many variables in young people. What if you find someone better after getting married so young?”She smiled. “Nah, Zen is the best person for me!”“That’s because you haven’t met many men!”Rowan was shocked himself that he said that.It felt as if he was transported 30 years back to the time when he heard the argument outside of Xyla’s house.Her parents were screaming as they scolded her. “That’s b

Rowan panicked. He was stunned as he looked at Cordelia.What was happening? Was his daughter testing him?Or did Xyla know that he was in Centrolis and got Cordelia to test him? To see if he still liked her?Tiny droplets of sweat dripped from his nose. His heart was pounding.Cordelia did not know that he had so much going on in his mind. She only thought her question was so sudden that it scared him.Even if she was in a hurry to look for a partner for her mother, she should not ask so directly!“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” She kept apologizing. “I didn’t mean anything ill, Uncle Irwin. I won’t ask if you don’t want to answer that!”“I…” Rowan smiled awkwardly. “I’ve actually never thought about that. I’ve been busy with work and medical research these years. I’ve long forgotten about this.”“Isn’t it great to have someone to spend your life with?”Was it?Great?Rowan felt melancholic.Apart from Xyla, there was nobody in the world that he wanted to spend his life with.How

Charlie coughed hard twice to remind Rowan that his way of caring was too obvious.Only then did he hold back. He straightened his body and walked out in big steps.At that moment, someone came over to hand Clark medicine that was boiled.Rowan frowned when he smelled the herbal fragrance, as he was sensitive to that. He asked softly, “What’s this?”“Supplement for the master.”As Clark was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and looked at Rowan.“Mr. Irwin!”“What’s wrong?”Clark showed the medicine and said, “I wonder if you can check this for me…”Rowan’s eyes dimmed.Clark was Liam’s subordinate, but he was suspicious of the medicine.It meant that it was a serious matter.“I’m not suspicious or anything, sir.” Clark lowered his voice. “It’s just that I heard every medicine has its side effects. I don’t want my employer to drink too much of it. Furthermore, he’s healthy…”Rowan chuckled and put the medicine away.It was a tricky one. No

A fit of giggles escaped Cordelia. How could it be the same?Ginger’s fur was soft, and this man’s hair was as hard as his temper.Despite that, she stroked his handsome face and flashed a soft smile.“Darling.” Zephyr held her hand.Cordelia thought he was hungry and told him seriously, “Aunt Helen’s on break today. There’s no one cooking.”Perhaps they had been worn out with work recently. They exchanged a glance and shared a tacit smile, both continuing to slack on the couch.Cordelia had gone through 2/3 of the book she was reading while Zephyr continued hugging her after he switched to another position.As they looked outside, though, the weather was so nice that it would be a pity to waste it.Zephyr’s stomach growled.Cordelia smiled and wanted to get up to make him something to eat when he held her back.“Cordelia, don’t bother! We can go out to eat.”“Huh?” Cordelia chuckled wryly. “I really don’t want to eat at Splendor Dynasty anymore…”Zephyr rubbed her hair wit

"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
