Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 78
“You don’t know?” Stunned, Annie told Cordelia with a serious face, “It’s about you and Mr. Jones. They say it’s as if he’s possessed that he kept giving you business. He was the one who pushed you to the supervisor’s position.”Cordelia was stunned.Now that she thought about it carefully, there seemed to be a rumor like that. Furthermore, Oliver was strange indeed. He gave the company five sales at once, and he asked for Cordelia exclusively.With such outstanding performance, how could she not be promoted?However…“The projects I’m working on with Mr. Jones are win-win,” she mumbled. “It’s just that I don’t understand why he insisted on working with me.”“He definitely values your capability!” Annie patted her shoulder. “Don’t overthink it. I’m guessing it was Karine who spread the rumor. She lost her power, and given that she’s not capable, she’s jealous of you!“Don’t worry, Cordelia. We’ll support you. All you’ve got to do is to fight her with all you have to the very end
Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 79
Cordelia took out her phone and showed Marcus all of the texts that Oliver had sent her lately.“He looks like he cares about me, but he’s actually asking about you.” She was smart. “Also, he gave me five sales when I was promoted to supervisor. It became something that people talked about in the office! Also, there’s only one objective of why he’s working with me—to obtain your information.”Marcus squinted. He knew what was happening.He became suspicious when he saw Oliver at the ball the other night. That was especially so after showing an unusual interest in the ring Cordelia was wearing. That made him put his guard up.It seemed like Oliver might be Matthew’s man.Marcus scoffed. His second uncle was too impatient. Even if he got someone to watch him, he should not get someone who would expose himself so easily! However, if Matthew found out that he was in Jangasas instead of Melorian, he might be in trouble.He looked at Cordelia. This young lady was kind and pure. She was

With his head held low, Marcus gave a peck on Cordelia’s smooth forehead.“Wifey, do you know what an athlete must do before a competition?”Her bright eyes filled with doubt. She shook her head innocently.Marcus smirked and whispered into her ear, “To stay abstinent.”Cordelia was stunned.“If one allows their feelings to take over them, their limbs will be weak in the fighting ring. They’ll definitely lose the match.“So you’re the one to blame.” Marcus looked at her and played with her flushed earlobe. “I can’t hold back when I see you. We’re together every day… How am I supposed to stay abstinent?”“Hey…”Cordelia glared at him in a coquettish manner. There was light in her beautiful eyes.It was men who had poor self-control from the beginning of time, yet they were blaming that on women. That was not fair!She bit her lip softly, looking unwilling. Meanwhile, what she did looked more like seduction to him.A burning desire was flowing through his body, making him lose

Marcus stared out the window fixedly. Ricos Bridge in the distance was veiled in a blanket of mist. He closed his eyes, his eyebrows creased with annoyance, and he could feel a pang spreading from his temples.‘Should I keep the secret away from her for the rest of her life?’Apparently, it was impossible. Sooner or later, she would find out the truth.However, according to the tradition of the Hamertons, he had to choose a woman from the other three big families as his wife. If Cordelia joined the Hamertons, one could imagine what kind of fate would be awaiting her.Most importantly, he was not the real Marcus. He took a deep breath and pulled Marcus’ ID card out of his pocket. The man on the ID card had the same face as him, but they were not the same person. “Z.” Josiah might not be very intelligent, but he was very good at reading other people’s emotions. “May I suggest you end the “training” earlier? Everything here in Chaiseland is almost finished, and Freddy and I will h

“They’re lying!” Cordelia smacked the table hard, her body shaking out of rage. “I didn’t do it! I was framed! It must be Karine! Tell her to come out and confront me!” “Keep your voice down!” The interrogator slammed his hand on the table, his voice so loud it echoed throughout the room. “Where do you think this place is? How dare you shout like that?”“I'll never admit to something I didn't do!”Cordelia’s hands and feet were cold. She bit her lips tightly and tried her best to calm herself down.“I'm the one who wrote the marketing proposal. I kept the softcopy in the computer and the hardcopy in the drawer, but I don't know how our rival company could get their hands on it. I’m sure there’s a mole in my company, and that person is the one who stole the document. So, I just want my company to check all the security cameras. Anyone who can enter or leave my office is a suspect!”“Ms. Jenner, you're a sales director. It's normal for your staff to go in and out of your office. Be

Marcus’ expression was dark throughout the entire journey as he stamped his feet firmly on the accelerator as hard as he could. There were several times Fredric felt like he was going to fly out of the window, and it was only now he understood what the centripetal and centrifugal force that he had learned in high school physics meant.As an ear-grating noise sprang into the air, Marcus stopped the car in front of the police station.Marcus marched into the police station with a stern and gloomy look on his face. After he entered the police station, he glanced at the crowd coldly. Then, from a door that was left slightly ajar, he saw two female police officers come out with Cordelia in between them. “Lia!” he shouted, causing Cordelia to raise her head and look toward him.The moment they saw each other, she could no longer hold her tears back. She threw herself into his arms and grasped tightly at his clothes. His familiar scent wafted into her nose, and she felt safe in his arm

Marcus cleared his throat, so Fredric hastily closed his mouth and concentrated on driving.Cordelia called out to him in a low voice, “Honey, I didn't tell them anything other than denying the claim. They got upset and told me that I should think about you and confess to the crime.” “What did you say?” “I just kept silent…” replied Cordelia, her face pale but her eyes filled with resolution.Marcus’ heart skipped a beat. He rubbed her hair and swore in his heart that he would protect her no matter what. If it were other women, they would have confessed everything to the interrogator due to their fear. However, beneath Cordelia’s frail figure was a tough soul. She would never admit it if she did not do something, even if she was held at gunpoint. A smile appeared at the corner of Marcus’ lips as he found that they had a lot in common. Just like the phrase said, “birds of the same feather flock together”. “Well, you did a good job,” commented Fredric. “You should keep as q

Fredric looked at Marcus in disbelief. His eyes widely bulged, but there was nothing he could say. “Karine must have made a lot of preparations before making her move.” Fredric pitched his voice low and said, “She colluded with the other company and then wiped out the only video that could prove Cordelia's innocence. She has all the evidence on her side, so... I'm afraid Cordelia has to be the scapegoat this time.”Marcus glared at him gloomily.Fredric hastily continued. “But believe me, Z, I assure you that I’ll find other evidence to prove her innocence!” Marcus stood up silently and walked into the room gently.Cordelia was sleeping soundly, and it seemed that she was really tired. She turned around with his pillows between her arms. Her face was gradually getting a little flushed and shiny.Marcus kissed her forehead, let out a chuckle, and turned around. “It’ll be too late by the time you find evidence!” His expression changed as soon as he came out of the room, and he

"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
