Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 490
The meeting came to an end very soon.Cordelia took a deep breath and suddenly felt a strange gaze following her. She looked around and met Chad’s smirking gaze.She was instantly unnerved.Chad smiled at her. Out of courtesy, she forced a smile back and left hurriedly with her documents.“Cordelia Jenner…” Chad sat on the chair as he watched her leave, looking like he did not have enough of it.As expected of Imperial Media, it was really a place of talented individuals. The female celebrities were gorgeous in their own way, but none was as captivating as Cordelia was to Chad.He had been shooting for so many years, so he had seen plenty of beautiful women, but he had never come across someone like Cordelia, who had delicate features and a faint distant sense to her.She was cold and elegant when she did not smile, yet she felt like the gentle winter sun when she did.Chad also found her name incredibly familiar.After asking around, he discovered that she was also from Janga

Chad sent William the photo he had secretly taken of Cordelia in the meeting.It was unclear, but William could still tell it was her. He did not expect Cordelia to have risen from her lowly status and grown into the elegant beauty she was now.Blood rushed up to his head in a fit of rage as he shakily swiped the photo away.“It’s your daughter, right? Hah, I told you I wouldn’t recognize her wrong!”“Oh.” William’s tone was indifferent. “Why are you asking about her?”“Nothing, just asking out of concern!”“Hah!” William knew well how loaded the word “concern” was.“She’s married already. I have no idea how she’s been doing recently!”“What?” Chad frowned. “So young… and married already? To whom?”William gnashed his teeth. “An ex-inmate!”Chad was even more shocked at the revelation that he went speechless, only snapping out of it when the call was hung up on him.He carefully recalled the times he spent socializing with William and thought he seemed to have heard the latt

Chad suddenly felt chills on his back. When he looked around, there was nothing. The spacious recording studio was orderly and functioning as usual.He took a deep breath. He was most probably frightened by Zephyr’s gaze just now.In a room nearby, however…“This low-life?” Nicholas crossed his leg, resting against the lambskin couch. He had drunk half of the whisky in his hand, and there was a smirk on his lips.Zephyr looked at him. “You know him?”“Chad Green, right?” Nicholas smiled. “I heard the others mention him before back in Jangasas.”Zephyr asked, “What kind of person is he?”“What saint could someone who shoots those kinds of films be?” Nicholas cracked a grin. “It’s said that he often tricks university girls with his identity as a director. Many art students got tricked and were cheated financially and sexually.“After what happened, those girls dared not report to the police due to societal pressure and could only swallow their grievances.”“F*ck!” Josiah yelled,

Cordelia had just taken her shower, and her hair was still wet. When she came out of the bathroom, she smelled nice.Cordelia smiled at Zephyr, and the latter felt that his world had turned so much more radiant.“Why are you back so late?” Cordelia went to him and circled her arms around his hips. “I’ll make some supper for you!”“No need, I’m not hungry.” Zephyr’s gaze was deep, while his voice was deep, husky, and captivating.Cordelia’s clothes draped over her softly, and the fabric looked velvety under the light.Zephyr was slightly dazed, feeling like a small beast was awakening within him.“What’s wrong?” asked Cordelia.He smiled without a word. Seeing that her hair was still dripping water, he went to the bathroom for the hair dryer and asked Cordelia to sit down comfortably on the couch before he stood behind her to blow her hair.The pair of hands that was powerful and strong in fights was always endlessly gentle when it came to her.Cordelia was slowly lulled to sle

“I was afraid that he’d shoot some indecent scenes again this time and affect the whole production!”Cordelia’s bright eyes were on Zephyr as she said seriously, “We invested a lot of money in this film! Can’t let someone like him spoil Imperial Media’s reputation!“So, I wanted to check him up, and I actually found something! He’s unscrupulous, as expected, and even his award was a con!”Zephyr nodded. Frederic sent the information to his phone as well at the same time. He took a look and found that it was the same as what Cordelia had gotten—just that there was more. It was the reason those young directors’ complaints went in vain.It was because Chad had already won. The media did not want more issues, so they held the news back in tacit understanding. Only a rare few media companies with a conscience had exposed it, yet they were small businesses and could barely get any attention due to their insignificance.Actually, it was secondary to Zephyr if the guy stole something. It

“Mom,” Zephyr answered helplessly and grumbled about Janine in his mind over a thousand times.How could his own mother do him dirty like this!?“Mom, what’s the matter?”“You took care of it?”“Of what?” Zephyr was perplexed.“What are you talking about? Chad Green, duh!”Janine opened fire on the line like a machine gun.“Goodness, Zephyr, well done! This production we invested in costs so much. It’s a collaboration, yes, but we need to make sure everyone from the director to the actors is clean! No scandal! That Chad won an international award out of nowhere. Don’t you think it’s strange? Are you not looking him up?”“I—”Zephyr was going to say that he had, but Janine interrupted him.“I knew that you hadn’t!”“Mom!” Zephyr slapped a hand over his face.“Hah, are you not doing anything if I don’t ask you to?”Zephyr was at a loss for words.“Zephyr Hamerton, you have shares in Imperial Media too! Look at how you’re acting as the big shareholder! Cordelia’s so much bet

There was a distance between the bathroom and the recording site. Cordelia walked over slowly in her heels.However, she had the feeling that someone was following her.She was careful and slowed down. At present, she was standing in an empty corridor. The lights were rather dimmed, and the air was chilly.She turned her head, but there was nothing behind her apart from the dim corridor.She took a deep breath and thought she was overthinking.It was a TV station. People who managed to come in had to pass through security. There should not be any bad people here.Nevertheless…She thought about it and got her phone to text Zephyr quickly.[Zen, I’m powdering my face in the bathroom.]She did not write anything more. She only sent that and her location.That was the tacit understanding between them.She knew that he would come over as soon as he could. He would send someone to protect her even if he could not come.She smiled.Even if there was no one around, it was better

Cordelia smiled coldly. Fortunately, she had sent her location to Zephyr. It was almost time. All she had to do was to hold this j*rk down!“Hah, I got what you mean now, Director Green.” Cordelia scoffed. “But please think carefully before you do disgusting things like this. Don’t offend people you can’t afford to offend, or you might die a horrible death!”“Wow, you’re threatening me?” Chad grinned. “You’re pretty, but you’re brutal… Haha, sure. I don’t need my dead body to be intact. I just want to die on top of you!”“Go away!”Cordelia used all of her power to push him away while tolerating her discomfort. However, his fat body was like a wall.She could not move him while he tried to kiss her.He was excited, as if he was shocked by electricity, when he smelled the fragrance on her body.“Ms. Jenner… I know you married a thug, and you’re not happy with your marriage… Don’t worry. I’ll fulfill your needs!”“Get off!”Just when he almost kissed her, she lifted her leg and

"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
