Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 658
“Then… Who sent you off when you left Centrolis?” Cordelia looked at Trinity quietly.The latter smiled. She knew what she was trying to ask.“Neither of them came. I left secretly without telling anyone.”“What?”“I thought I’d just allow time to take the wheel.” Trinity was carefree. “Just like what Millie said, isn’t my career better? Ha… I thought I’d focus on my next movie. Since I have the opportunity to study here, perhaps I’ll get some inspiration!”No matter how Trinity tried to hide it, Cordelia could see the melancholy in her eyes.She knew she could not let go of Fredric, but she did not know what to do with Neil’s love for her.It could be good to just let things be. Time would reveal the truth—time would reveal one’s heart.Cordelia patted Trinity’s shoulder and smiled at her.…Before coming to Melorian, the company had arranged Trinity’s accommodation.Nevertheless, Cordelia insisted that she would stay at the villa for a few days.Zephyr could only pretend

Cordelia was going to go after Ava, but a third person stopped her.“Have you prepared the meeting room?”She was stunned. “What meeting room?”“Here!” The woman tossed her a seating chart. “Arrange the table cards in the meeting room following this list. Check if the coffee beans are in the coffee machine and bring a big bottle of water. Also, prepare desserts for the directors according to their liking! Go, now!”“You guys have really made a mistake!” Cordelia looked at the three arrogant white-collar workers. They wore name tags. They were Sarah, Jenny, and someone called Fan Lee.The three of them seemed to have the same pose, whereby they wrapped their arms around their chests and looked condescending. It felt like if she did not do as they said, they would not let her go.A voice came from not far away. “Hey! Are you guys serious? How does she look like an intern?”Cordelia turned her head and smiled. Trinity conveniently placed her arm on her shoulder and gave her the “I’

Ava had always wanted to join the entertainment industry.Although she looked decent and studied in a film school, she had only landed small roles with a handful of lines despite the countless auditions she had had.When she asked the directors, the answer she got was that her looks were undistinguished and did not match the image of a main character.There was even a tactless director who had said directly, “Ms. Baker, you look like one of the many faces produced under the knife. There’s nothing recognizable on your face. It’s impossible for you to be popular.”Ava had been so angry that she nearly fought the director.Unwilling to back down, she went home and pestered Noah to sponsor her, and Hannah encouraged it.As a result, Noah had forked out the money and invested in two films. However, the box office was awful, and the production was a huge loss.When Noah was about to invest in the third production, Janine stopped him.Ava and Hannah looked like they stopped asking as

Hannah’s eyes were scheming.Ava nodded with a light laugh. “Mom, I know!” She showed Hannah her phone as she answered. The chat was full of her texts to Cordelia. Other than daily greetings, there were random things she shared throughout the day as well.It was just that it usually took about 20 texts from her in exchange for an indifferent “Mm” from Cordelia.Hannah furrowed her brows again as she browsed the chat. She thought that it was not enough.“Ava, why are you texting her these useless things all the time?”Ava widened her eyes. “Didn’t you ask me to get close to her and be her only friend in the family…”“Are you stupid!?” Hannah emphasized. “It’s true that I’ve asked you to pander to her, but I want you to say useful things!”“Useful things?”“A man is the loneliest when the woman’s pregnant!” Hannah spoke confidently. “You should ask about where Zephyr is and what he’s doing when you chat with her! Silly girl, do I have to teach you everything?”Ava ducked her h

“What’s the quantity of the order?”“The international fashion week this time is large in scale and includes many top brands, so the bidding is a fierce competition. If we get this order, it'll secure our place in the fashion industry.”“Mm,” Zephyr replied coolly, already having a plan in his mind.Melorian was a city, where the textile industry thrived. The Baker Group had a business related to fashion as well.It was just that fashion and apparel was a business with a quick turnover rate and a small profit margin. The money made was plenty, but the workload was proportionately large. It was all hard-earned money.Zephyr did not want Cordelia to work so hard!Besides, Janine was interested in the bidding this time and was fully prepared, only for Hannah to intercept in the end. Despite her anger, she swallowed it back for Noah.Zephyr narrowed his eyes. Since when had his mother suffered such grievance?For his wife and his mother, as well as the little fellow in his wife’s w

Cordelia hung up right away, but Ava was relentless as she kept calling!This was the first time Cordelia rolled her eyes at a phone. She took in a deep breath and slid the screen to answer. Once the call connected, she heard a saccharine voice calling, “Cordelia…”Cordelia felt goosebumps and focused herself to answer with a smile, “Oh, Ava, what is it?”“Huh? Can’t I call you if there’s nothing?” Ava giggled. “I haven’t seen you these two days, I miss you! And my little nephew! If you’re free, let’s eat together tomorrow?”“Sorry, I’m not free.”“Cordelia… you don’t want to eat with me?”‘Yes, I do not want to!’ Cordelia screamed inwardly. Who the f*ck would want to eat with a b*tch who had eyes for her husband? Could she even swallow anything!?“Hah, how could that be?” Cordelia found her own laugh fake. “Ava, don’t overthink it. You’re the only one who treats me like a friend since I got here. Of course I like spending time with you!”Ava widened her eyes.‘Wait, what? T

Ava broke out, wailing, and told Hannah everything.Hannah frowned as she listened and scolded Ava for spoiling their plan.“You foolish child! Why did you ask where Zephyr was out of the blue? She could guess right away that you have eyes for him! That’s his wife. How could she allow it?“Besides, they’re married. You have no business in whatever workout they want to do behind closed doors.” Hannah paced back and forth, sighing heavily. “Even if Cordelia had a good impression of you previously, it’s gone with what you just said!”Ava calmed down and thought that her mother made sense. She bit her lip and looked at Hannah tearfully, muttering in a soft voice, “Then… what should I do now?”Hannah rolled her eyes.“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask!?”“Mom, I don’t think that’s the case with Cordelia?” Ava was hopeful. “She was quite nice during the call and said that she sees me as her only friend and hopes I help her more!”“Everyone can make pleasantries! That’s what

Zephyr snickered.Robert had already informed him of the entire incident, and he was just thinking about how he could penalize Ava, only for her to send herself to his door!“Darling, stay out of this. I’ll—”“Let me take care of this myself!” Cordelia’s gaze was determined.Zephyr turned around and looked at her rather worriedly. He put a hand on her waist.“If you weren’t pregnant, I’d certainly let you handle it. But you’re carrying a baby. I’m afraid that—”“Afraid that I will get mad?” Cordelia chortled. “Will I get mad so easily? Honey, don’t worry. I already know what to do. Let me handle it, okay?”Zephyr could never say no to her.No matter how worried he was, he nodded in agreement and asked his people in the company to be alert and keep his wife safe.His wife was his to spoil and coddle unconditionally!“Okay.” He chuckled. “I have a surprise for you after you’re done with this.”…A while later, Cordelia arrived at the Baker Group, and Ava came to get her perso

"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
