Semua Bab Married a Secret Billionaire: Bab 381 - Bab 390

Charlie continued. “The major families in Centrolis all have their eyes on the plot of land, wanting to get a cut of profit there.“So, the joint hospital project is worth an attempt.”“Mm, I know,” answered Rowan.Currently, the hospital was secondary in priority to him. It was of utmost importance to meet Cordelia, talk to her, and have a proper look at her. He would be content then.Actually, before he went to see Cordelia, he had already gone to the University of Centrolis to sneak a look at Carter.His son was doing so well. He was young but was intelligent and eager to learn—a talent in the making. He had also gotten into the medical department and was innately gifted in research.Rowan was pleased. For some reason, though, his favor for his son was far from his affection for his daughter… He always thought that boys should be able to take hardships and not be doted on, while girls would be the apple of their fathers’ eyes and should be indulged and pampered.He chuckled.

Mona felt like her calves were going into cramps.What she just said came out of rage. It did not even go through a brain-to-mouth filter. Now that she calmed down and thought about it, this was not the time, even if she wanted to stand up for Nelly…She wondered what Cordelia would do to her. Would she slap her?Mona looked around instinctively. She was standing in the hallway by the door coincidentally, and a surveillance camera was nearby. She was relieved.If Cordelia dared lay a finger on her, she would spread the surveillance recording and include a few instigating words for her fans to attack this b*tch.“What? Have I said it wrong?” Mona regained her haughtiness.“How do you think the four major families maintain their status? It’s through marriages and exchanging resources, duh!” Mona scoffed.“If Mr. Zephyr runs into any sort of difficulty in the future, Nelly can help him, but you’ll only be his burden!“Ms. Cordelia, what else do you know other than depending on men

The headlights of the Maybach outside of Royal Manor blinked twice.Rowan saw Zephyr coming out for Cordelia and taking her back into the house by her hand after saying something to her. A while later, the lights in the living room went out.Charlie turned back to smile at Rowan. “Mr. Irwin, looks like they’ve reconciled.”Rowan hummed in response. “The brat’s good at coaxing, apparently!”He sighed and stayed silent in thought before chuckling and keeping his silver needle.“Charlie, let’s go.”“Yes, sir.” Charlie started the car. “Mr. Irwin, what do we do next?”Rowan stayed silent. He would stay longer in Centrolis for this trip—one reason was for the joint collaborative hospital project, and another was simply because he was growing more reluctant to leave. He was okay with just seeing them from afar. That person… She would be a wound that would never heal.Charlie read his mind. “Mr. Irwin, I’ve obtained Ms. Xyla’s current address. Do you want to—”“No,” Rowan interrupt

Cordelia smiled and answered directly, “Zephyr Hamerton.”Neil had long expected this answer, but Cordelia’s frankness surprised him. He did not expect Zephyr to have such a high status to her that she did not even feign courtesy and blurted it so straightforwardly.Shane looked around and stepped up to break the awkwardness with a chuckle.“Uh… Neil, take a look at the script first. You’ll be the first to audition when Ms. Lulham is here!“Ms. Cordelia, take a break too! Neil asked me to bring some snacks. Have a try…”The few of them found somewhere close to the window where the sunlight spilled in, and they basked in it. The scenery outside was the picturesque fall.Shane made coffee and brought them over, the room immediately wafting with the aroma. Neil pulled a pretty lunchbox out of his bag. It was a dark-colored wooden box with intricate and repeated patterns carved on it…Cordelia was stunned and nearly doubted if her eyes played a trick on her. The box that her mother

At the Tanners’ residence at night…Joe and Mandy were discussing how they would try for the joint hospital project in the study room while Nelly sat aside and listened attentively.Mandy had wanted to let her go back to her room earlier to sleep and did not want her to know too much.A few years ago, she had her guard up against Nelly and tried as much as possible not to let her get in touch with the Tanner Group’s core business.Joe did not think much about it. Nelly was not their biological daughter, but they had raised her to this day. It was impossible to say that they had no feelings for her. Moreover, Nelly was able to assist him in business.“I don’t know how the rumor came about,” Joe said in a low tone. “But it’s said that Rowan likes the Tanners the most among the four major families and wants to work with us.”Mandy frowned.She thought that it was ridiculous at first, but the rumor was growing more aggressive and sounded as if it was real.Despite that, Rowan did n
