Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 689
“I’m talking to you!” Cordelia sounded more serious now. “Who set up the meeting room?”Ava looked like she was gloating. “I don’t know!”“Since you don’t, please put my placement card where it should be!”Cordelia was firm, and she spoke fluent Chaisene.The locals who attended fell silent. They realized what was happening now.Ava could not take the humiliation, but she was persistent. “Miss, it is long past the meeting time. Don’t tell me you’re persisting on such a small thing? The people here take punctuality very seriously! It’s rude for you to keep dragging it. They’ll think that you don’t want to work with them!”“That’s right, they take punctuality seriously and have their rules.” Cordelia scoffed, “But this is the Baker Group. This is the project I’m leading! In the meeting I host, my rules will be the rules!”Her fluent Chaisene was clear. Her voice was soft, but she blew everyone away.The people said nothing. The representatives that were impatient before returned to their

Ava stopped for some time, but she then shifted her attention to Trinity.Cordelia no longer received her constant messages now. Trinity, instead, was on the receiving end of her harassment every day.It was a sunny weekend today. Cordelia was comfortably basking in the sun on the recliner in the yard when she heard the doorbell ringing hastily.The butler went to open the door, and Trinity barged in with disheveled hair and dark eye circles.“Gah, Cordelia, I beg you. Exorcize that devil, will you? Take her away!”Cordelia giggled and yanked Trinity over to sit with her.Trinity then showed the various texts and emails Ava had sent Trinity these days. Other than the usual motivational quotes and messages, there were countless photos—sexy photos, barefaced photos, no-makeup makeup photos, glamorous makeup photos, casual daily photos—from all angles.The scariest one had to be the one she had sent last night. It was a close-up photo of her.Cordelia was having a yogurt drink and

Cordelia’s heart stopped as she wrapped an arm around Trinity’s shoulder.Zephyr followed the police officer to the first floor underground. Cordelia and Trinity followed them slowly. Their feet felt as if they were made of lead, and each step was immensely heavy.The police officer sighed and told Zephyr, “You should do it. The pregnant woman shouldn’t go in.”Zephyr nodded and turned to Cordelia. “Wait here. I’ll be out soon.”Trinity’s eyes dimmed as she stayed close behind him.They arrived at the basement going down the stairs. It was a dim and narrow space.The police officer unlocked the door, and the man lying inside was covered with a white cloth. The fluorescent light that illuminated the space was bone-chilling.Trinity stayed by the door, unable to take a step forward as if she was sucked dry of her energy.The police officer raised a hand to gesture. “Mr. Hamerton, please identify him.”Zephyr pushed himself and slowly made his way to the corpse. With shaky hands,

Fredric did not dare to make too huge of a movement and flipped the blanket open carefully for a look. His clothes were not changed, and his shirt was drenched in blood and sweat. It was unbelievably dirty already.His wound was already bandaged, but the dressing was incredibly unprofessional.He looked up at the girl and asked after some time, “You… saved me?”When the girl blinked and grinned, she looked like an angel on the church mural.“Why? Are you repaying me for saving you?”Fredric paused, still a little groggy due to his fever.He went through what happened despite his blank mind.He had come to Melorian for Trinity, only to get into a shady cab after getting off his flight. He had not been there too frequently before, so he was not familiar with the way. The car had made several turns into a quiet alley, and the driver had shown his menace, even calling an accomplice over.Then… he was stabbed. He passed out after that and was here when he opened his eyes again.“He

There was no difference in how Zephyr acted and looked in the consecutive days without Fredric’s news, but Cordelia knew the turmoil he was in. She did not know how to comfort him.The man wanted to be strong so much that he had never brought along any negative emotions to her. He was always the gentle and smiling husband before her.It was just that Cordelia’s heart ached every time she saw him smile. She could see the fatigue in his smile.Neil called Cordelia to tell her he would return to Southeast Aciatic for a holiday and visit her parents. Cordelia’s response was lukewarm and distracted.“What’s gotten into you?” Neil chuckled. “You sound listless. You don’t have prenatal depression, do you?”“Nonsense!” Cordelia then told him about everything that had transpired these few days.Neil was quiet for a moment before he answered softly, “I’ll come to Chaiseland tomorrow.”Cordelia was shocked.“For Trinity? I think you better not. She’s—”“It’s exactly because of this circu

Someone yanked up Fredric before he could open his eyes. The searing pain of his wound caused him to shout in hysterics even when he was usually gentlemanly.“Oh, sorry, sorry!” Aurelia apologized hastily. “I found a good medicine and was so happy that I forgot you’re wounded…”Fredric sucked in a cold breath. The forgotten case of his wound had happened too often these days.If he were to be asked, he’d answer that he had never accepted any bribery as a lawyer. He had always upheld justice and fought for the people. He had never done anything to have a guilty conscience!Why did the heavens send someone like this to “heal” him?Fredric chuckled wryly and could only cave in when he saw the girl’s innocent look.“I’ve never taken care of anyone,” Aurelia said softly, passing him the water and medicine. “You’re my first man!”“Pft!” Fredric spat the water he had just drank.Aurelia quickly wiped it with a towel and blinked while she did so. “Did I say it wrong? You’re the first o

Fredric was rather curious about where her income came from. Aurelia turned back to look at him vigilantly and kept the small box quietly.“Don’t worry. I won’t touch your money.” Fredric read her mind. “But can you be kind enough to help me contact my friend? I promise I’ll give you a huge sum of money—”“No way!” Aurelia cut him off.“Aurelia, please!”“Don’t even think about it. I won’t ever call the police!”Embarrassment turned into anger on her pretty face, and her fierce look made her a different person from the girl who took care of Fredric attentively.Fredric was alarmed. “I’m not calling the police. I just want to contact my friend…”“Your friend will call the police!” Aurelia cried, “If you ruin my life, I won’t let you live in peace either!”She glared at him and went out, slamming the door shut loudly behind her.Fredric heard the familiar sound of the door locking. Anxious, he wanted to get out of bed to stop her, but his physical state held him back. Despite

Trinity paused, and the cutlery in her hands fell to the plate with a clang.Would she be so anxious? She had not thought of it.She only knew that she had been restless these days, losing sleep and appetite without even changing her clothes. She had never cried so much in her entire life.All she did was clutch the lucky charm in her hand. That was what Fredric had given her, and it felt as if his warmth was still on it.He had told her that he hoped the lucky charm would bring her luck when he gave it to her, but now, she would rather use all her luck in exchange for his safety.Trinity’s thoughts were everywhere. She opened her mouth but could not utter a single word.“I…”“Okay, I know!” Neil’s grin was wide. “You’ll definitely be anxious. Who’s going to be your male lead if I go missing?”After a long time, Trinity hung her head and said, “Sorry.”Neil paused before he continued cutting the steak with a smile.“I’m not a petty person. No need to apologize to me. Besides,

"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
