Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 816
Even if Cordelia had a spare outfit, she would not be able to get rid of the alcohol scent, and that would definitely be a faux pas in front of the queen.Victoria worried for Allegra but smirked, triumphant about Cordelia's embarrassing state.Allegra said with a smile, "Cordelia, you should take care of it in the washroom! You're basically stationed there today, anyway. Another trip should be fine!"Cordelia froze with a flushed face.The guard came over to announce that they should get prepared to see the queen.Someone mocked from the side, "Ms. Irwin, this is a royal event. I think you should attend events like this less in the future lest you make a faux pas and embarrass the Irwins!""Right? Someone who grew up outside just isn't the same as us who grew up in Southeast Aciatic.""I heard that she lived in a basement in Jangasas before she came back to Southeast Aciatic…"The heiresses whispered among each other, and Allegra looked even more victorious.Victoria smiled m

Allegra was perplexed by the sudden question. She looked at Cordelia like she was looking at a monster. "W-What do you mean?"Cordelia chuckled. "I think there's no fairness in this world. Otherwise, why was one chosen as a princess and could possibly inherit the whole country in the future, and another… could only wash my dress for me in the washroom when they're cousins in the same family?""What are you talking about!?"Allegra turned pale as she gnashed her teeth.Even though Cordelia was instigating, she had hit the nail right on the head.Allegra could not stand Victoria. Both of them had grown up playing and studying together—Victoria's grades were worse than hers too… Why could Victoria earn the king's favor and become the only princess in the royal family?They used to be like sisters, but there were now palace rules and etiquette when they met. She could not call Victoria by her name like she used to and had to respectfully address her "Your Highness".Ever since Victo

It was a man's voice!Cordelia frowned, finding the voice familiar.Meanwhile, Allegra shouted at the door like she had found her savior, "Cousin! Alexander! Is it you!?"Help! Save me, Alexander!"Cordelia paused. Could it be Alexander at the door?The doorknob was twisted even faster, accompanied by hastier knocks."What's going on inside? I'll get the guards to open the door if you don't come out!"Cordelia snorted and let go of Allegra abruptly. 'No fun!'Allegra fled frantically and staggered to open the door. As expected, Alexander stood outside, looking confused."Alexander!" Allegra wailed and threw herself into his arms.However, she was the least of Alexander's concerns as he only saw Cordelia, who stood there nonchalantly with crossed arms, as well as the red wine stain on her.He froze and pushed Allegra off him to run to Cordelia."Are you okay!?"Cordelia was surprised. The man's concern and nervous expression did not look feigned.Alexander could care less

Cordelia took a few steps back, startled."This can't do! My clothes are stained, and I reek of alcohol. It'd be a disrespect to the queen! I…”"Calm down. I have a solution!"Alexander smiled at her with a hand on her shoulder.Cordelia subconsciously wanted to move back to keep some distance between them, but it seemed that Alexander had read her mind and moved his hand off before she stepped back. He then politely let her walk in front.Cordelia nodded but could not help being puzzled. She instinctively did not think that Alexander had an ulterior motive because his gaze was so clean.It was not like Cordelia had never seen men who wanted… things. The supervisor who would always pick on her back in Jangasas and the director who had wanted to take advantage of her in Centrolis… Those people wrote their dirty desires on their faces.Alexander was not like that. Cordelia could see equality, peace, love, and kindness in his eyes. She thought that if he became the ruler of the cou

“Well…” Alexander shrugged. "I have not, but from what Neil says, she's a talented and gorgeous fairy!"Cordelia chuckled, amused.Neil did not like Victoria but liked hanging out with the mild-mannered Alexander. They were similar in age and had spent time together since pre-school, only parting when they went to high school.Despite that, the geographical distance had not set their hearts apart. No matter what they ran into, they shared it with each other.Just like this time, Neil had told him about Aurelia's story, and the girl's temporary residence permit was all thanks to Alexander's help."I think your cousin's fallen hard this time!" Alexander chuckled. "Aurelia's working for that tailor, and he makes several daily trips there. The owner thinks the demolishment is actually happening!""Is Aurelia doing well?" Cordelia had not seen the girl for some time and missed her."Don't worry. I'm sure she's doing good with Neil looking out for her."Cordelia felt the embroidery a

Cordelia placed her cutlery down without giving anything away.Alexander furrowed his brows with puzzlement in his gaze."Sister, you…""Don't ask how I found out!" Victoria took a sip of champagne as she snickered at them. "That's not very nice of you all to hide a talented, pretty girl like this!"Cordelia took a deep breath. It was apparent that Victoria had investigated Aurelia in secret.It was not difficult for a princess to look someone up based on her influence, but Victoria did this because of Neil… Jealousy made one lose their sound judgment.Cordelia was mulling over how she should help Aurelia out of this when Victoria told the queen, "Auntie, you must like Cordelia's dress, right? I thought it was a famous designer's work when I first saw it!""Oh?" The queen chuckled. "This makes me more curious about the lady who made this dress, then! Cordelia, is she an embroidery artist from the Irwins? You Irwins have lots of talented people!""Of course not!" Victoria sat ne

Victoria sneered and said strangely, “Alexander… you swing that way?"Alexander balled up his fists. His gaze scared Victoria. As his elder sister, she had never seen a cutting gaze like this from her usual mild-mannered brother. She could not help stepping back, but she kept up the authority of a princess.“You… What are you going to do?”“Sister, why are you so nervous?” Alexander smirked. “You were the one being aggressive just now. I haven’t said anything!”Victoria pursed her lips and stayed silent.“I have to remind you, though.” Alexander looked at her. “You let Allegra bully Cordelia.”“Nonsense!”“Never mind, you won’t admit it.” Alexander shrugged nonchalantly. “You’ve got to know that there’s no fool in this world. Allegra’s willing to be used not because she’s close to you but because she wants something more from you!“And Cordelia…" He sighed. "Don’t think she’s a pushover. Her first 20 years were really spent in Jangasas, and her life was horrible, but she’s no

"Nothing." He shook his head. "Go in."Cordelia nodded and was going to walk away when she caught Alexander's gaze toward her house. It was like he was looking for something…She suddenly had an odd feeling.Alexander was nice to her and protected her where he could, but her sixth sense as a woman told her it was not romantic.Linda treated her like that, Trinity treated her like that, Zennie treated her like that, and Aurelia treated her like that… but Alexander was a man!Cordelia's heart dropped. She sneaked a glimpse at Alexander and forced a smile before she hurried home.Once she entered, she saw Zephyr serving dinner from the kitchen. When he saw her, he was still wearing an apron and smiled like he was fishing for compliments. "Welcome home, darling! Wash your hands, and let's eat."Cordelia was astonished, looking at the table of dishes."You made all these?"There was grilled steak, stuffed mushrooms, fried shrimp, baked potatoes… Zephyr even brought over two plates

"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
