Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 575
“Mm, yeah.” Zephyr wore a relieved smile.Actually, Xyla and Carter were not too big of a problem. The hardest part for Rowan seemed to see a flicker of hope now.After all, there were over 20 years of estrangement. Things needed to go slow. For whatever it was worth, the first step was already taken, and the day of the reunion would only get closer.Cordelia met his eyes, and both of them smiled. Zephyr led them out with an arm over her shoulder. They could finally have a good meal without any burden now.“Darling, I think you’re right!”“What?”“That old geezer made you all suffer for so many years. It’s time for him to taste his medicine now!”“What are you saying?” The girl glared at him instantly. “Who are you calling an old geezer!?”“Well…” Zephyr said purposely, “That ungrateful old geezer, the pufferfish with spines…”“Hey!” Cordelia tried to smack him with a hop.Despite that, Zephyr was tall like a tree and pulled a small flower like her into his embrace easily.

“Um…” William hesitated. After all, he wanted to get it over with and leave as soon as he could. This was not a place to linger.However, Fredric held him by the shoulders and asked him to sit on the couch. He also retrieved a full set of quality tea from the kitchen.A while later, the tea aroma drifted into the room and smelled reinvigorating.“This is a kind of black tea that the Hamerton Group always purchases. It’s expensive because production isn’t much each year. Other than supplying to the Hamerton Group, only certain royal members get to drink it in the world.”Fredric observed William’s expression in secret. He knew it. Someone who was greedy in nature would not give up on any benefit, even when they were at risk.Just like the tea before them.William contemplated and picked up the teacup in front of him with a smile. While he drank, his eyes flitted around like he was a thief.Fredric scoffed. Birds of a feather seemed to flock together. William was acting like Marcu

“Hah, haha.” Fredric faked a laugh while he wondered if someone like William was considered the lower limit of a human’s low intelligence.Despite that, he had to go along with him. “Yeah, Zephyr will definitely do that. You’ll pocket another large amount by then!”William was triumphant and took another sip of tea.“But… Mr. Jenner, the Jenner Group really shouldn’t be closing down when you’re so good at planning!”William was immediately appalled. “That was a careless mistake!”“But you should have a good sum of money with you!”“You… How did you know?” William put his guard up right away.Fredric had always been a brilliant hunter in collecting evidence. He could make his prey fall into his trap step by step.“Mr. Jenner, with the relationship I share with Mr. Yale, he told me about you long ago. Back when the Irwin heiress, Xyla Irwin, left Southeast Aciatic and went to Jangasas, you purposely took her home, right?”William went stiff upon hearing this and stared at Fredri

“This… This is…” William turned pale and could not even finish a full sentence.He stared at Cordelia and Zephyr like he had seen a ghost, who came out of the room, and nearly slumped down as if life was sucked out of him.He looked at Fredric in horror and asked shakily, “Mr. Constable, w-what’s going on!?”Fredric smiled and pulled the recording pen out of his pocket to pass it to Zephyr. He then turned to William and replied in the tone of a lawyer on duty, “You have the right to remain silent right now. Everything you say will be presented as evidence in court!”William’s eyes nearly fell off.“Well done! You… You worked together to trick me!”“Trick you? Or because you’re too dumb!?” Cordelia stepped up and stared at him coldly.She had nearly failed to hold herself up in the small room when she listened to the filthy and abominable things William had confessed to just now. Zephyr was fortunate to be by her side, and his embrace became her haven. As she hid there, she could

William was on the floor, supporting himself on his hands as he retreated on the cement floor.It took everything within Rowan to hold back his urge to kill him.“W-What do you want?” William’s voice was shaky. “Rowan Irwin… lynching is illegal!”“Lynching?” Rowan snickered. “You’re not worth my effort! Hah, even if I do that, I’m breaking Centrolis’ law, but I’m from Southeast Aciatic!”“You…”“Don’t worry, Mr. Jenner!” Rowan gritted each word through his teeth. “This is not some lynching. On the contrary, I’ve heard that you’ve not been feeling well after going bankrupt and often feel dizzy and have high blood pressure… I’m here specifically to treat you!”As soon as he said that, thin and long silver needles glinted in his hand. Rowan’s eyes were surging with resentment. There was never a moment like now where he hoped to use everything he had learned to kill someone.His hands had cured the injured and saved the dead. They had given countless people hope. At this moment, tho

Letting a person live lucidly in pain for the rest of their life was the biggest punishment.Rowan wiped his hand with a smirk. He took one last look at William and left quietly.…The early morning sun spilled through the memorial hall’s traditional window and shone on the portraits of the Hamerton ancestors.Many servants were crowding the door as they looked inside in worry. With the dull thud and an abrupt fall of a figure, they gasped and rushed in.“Mr. Matthew fainted! Mr. Matthew fainted!”“Go get Mr. Clark!Clark came over with some other men to take care of the incident and relayed it to Liam with a solemn face.Matthew had stayed on his knees in the memorial hall for one whole day without food or water and finally succumbed in the morning.Liam’s brows were furrowed as he tapped his dragon-headed cane on the floor, a cold gleam flashing across his eyes.After some time, he got up and strode briskly to Matthew’s place.Matthew was having chicken soup when he heard

Liam paused and looked at Matthew coldly.“Why? Do you think I’ll watch Yale drag the whole Hamertons down and do nothing?”Matthew was baffled.“Compared to stealing, justice over family is far nobler!”With that, Liam shook Matthew off and left. Before Matthew could react, his mind blanked as he watched his father leave quickly.…After a plunge in temperature, Centrolis got to welcome a rare, nice winter day.The mist cleared, and the sky recovered its blue. An unanticipated light drizzle of snow covered the city in a dust of beautiful silver. The air smelled fresh and crisp.Cordelia swept the snow in the yard and made cute snowmen from it.When she was done, Zephyr hugged her from the back and wrapped her icy, red hands in his to warm them up.“What do you think? Pretty, aren’t they?” Cordelia was triumphant.“Of course.” Zephyr smiled gently.It felt great now. The storm was over, the sky was azure blue, the winter sun was warm, and he and Cordelia were making snowm

“Mm.” Cordelia nodded. “I heard it from mom. Think there are a lot of people invited.”“Yeah, other than everyone in the family, there are also those who are closer to us from the three major families. Fredric and Seth will be attending too. They’re both very important guests.”Zephyr lowered his head to rub their noses together. “Of course, the main purpose of this dinner is to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Irwin!”…Hamerton Manor was merrily filled with guests come weekend.Liam was a traditionalist, but he had hosted a sophisticated event this time, an exception, to cater to the younger generation.Fredric was a huge contributor to the matter and was the Hamertons’ VIP. In addition to being a famous lawyer in Centrolis and an eligible bachelor, he became the center of attention.Zephyr’s female cousins, who made a long trip here, surrounded Fredric, so the latter did not even have the chance to take a bite.Seth kept Zennie company, but the little princess wore a constant pout.

"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
