Semua Bab Married a Secret Billionaire: Bab 401 - Bab 410

“I hooked up with no one,” Kelly said flatly. “We… just got to know each other coincidentally.”Nelly’s gaze was vicious as her red lips pulled into a mocking smile.“Hah, my baby sister’s so pretty that even when she’s ill, there’s a man going after her!” Her sharp nail ran across Kelly’s face. “If this face is ruined, I wonder what Josiah will look like when he sees you again.”“You won’t do that.” Kelly looked at her.Her pale and beautiful eyes were resolute.Nelly hated this gaze. She was scared of it as well.“You really think I dare not?” She gnashed her teeth and clenched her fingers to choke Kelly.Kelly furrowed her brows as suffocating fear and despair crept up to her.Kelly uttered with great difficulty, “Nelly, if… I really disappear from this world, you’ll lose everything too!”With her sore spot hit, Nelly let go slowly, but her gaze was still sinister.“If you ruin my face, my injury will be in the open.” Kelly smirked. “You wouldn’t want anyone to see what yo

Cordelia went to the deck after her shower.The sun was right in the center of the sky currently, so it was most probably noon. It was already fall, but it was still quite warm. The deck was toasty from the sun and felt comfortable under the feet.Cordelia saw Rowan sitting at the bow.Rowan noticed her as well and turned back to greet her.“Mr. Irwin.” Cordelia nodded with a smile.Rowan gestured for her to take a seat beside him.“Where’s your boyfriend?” he asked her with a smile.“He’s gone to wash the clothes.” Cordelia pointed at the forest. “By the spring.”Rowan gave it a thought and went closer to her to ask, “Does he usually do the laundry when you two are home?”“We have a helper at home, and she usually does the chores.”Rowan creased his brows. “So, this brat is lazy and doesn’t do anything?”Cordelia smiled awkwardly. She did not understand why this older man was poking his nose into everything.Maybe it was because his children were not around him, and he sti

Zephyr frowned while Rowan looked shocked.“Can this message be traced back?” asked Rowan.Zephyr answered in a low voice, “I think so, but I haven’t figured the manual out yet and don’t know how to operate it.”Rowan took the manual over and went through it line by line.Zephyr said after a moment of silence, “Mr. Irwin, I think this cry for help isn’t for us but for Josiah.”“Mr. Bayer?” Rowan arched a brow. “Did other yachts run into danger too?”“Perhaps…”Zephyr squinted. There was a thought flashing in his mind. Josiah had once told him that he liked a girl, and then there was nothing after that. ‘Could it be that… it is not that the girl does not want to date him but that she cannot?’Zephyr felt his heart squeeze. His gaze turned serious as he stared at the [Save me!] message.…Although the radio and internet connection was unstable, Zephyr and Rowan’s constant messages were finally responded to.Two days later, Josiah and Robert arrived on the island with a rescu

Nelly bit her lips and took a deep breath. She had visited Liam a few days ago, and the old man had still expressed that he would support her marrying Zephyr.Even when Mandy had kept explaining as indirectly as she could that the Tanners and the Hamertons had never really had any promise of any sort and that marriage should be decided by the young ones themselves, Nelly refused to agree.This was a fight she refused to give up on. She wanted to marry into the Hamertons. She thought that by doing so, Mandy would hold her in higher regard, and no one in the Hamertons would dare look down on her with Zephyr as her support.By then, she would not have to be scared of people finding out about her birth. It would be a secret forever that she would crush under her foot.Nelly recomposed herself. “Zephyr, I know that you’re just rushed by impulse now. Ms. Jenner is great, but she isn’t compatible with you.“Marriage is like building a house. It can only go higher when the foundation’s so

Cordelia stood in the center of the banquet hall dressed in a long, cream-yellow, light chiffon dress. She looked graceful and gorgeous, like a fairy fallen to earth.Everyone’s attention was attracted to her.The host was dumbstruck for a moment before he recomposed himself and took a cue card from his assistant. He coughed and began to introduce Cordelia with a grin.“Everyone, you must’ve guessed it.” The host’s voice was sonorous. “This is Ms. Cordelia Jenner. Not only is she the big boss behind the western suburbs’ project, but she’s also the CEO of three listed companies!”That instant, the guests in the hall seemed frozen, and the whole world felt like it was sucked into a vacuum. There was not a sound or a movement.After a few seconds of silence, applause erupted in the hall.Cordelia wore a light smile as she raked her eyes across the guests and paused on Nelly. Zephyr held her hand tightly and exchanged a smile with her.All the light in the world paled next to her at
