Semua Bab Married a Secret Billionaire: Bab 431 - Bab 440

“Just be patient, Aunt Tanner,” Cordelia said with a smile. “Stay as you are for now.”Mandy looked anxious.“I own half of the Tanner Group… To be precise, 2/3 of it is mine! Before Joe married me, he was nothing! The wedding gift I brought along filled up the gap and hole in the Tanners!“But he betrayed me and raised his illegitimate daughter right under my nose for 20 years! He played me like a fool!” The more Mandy spoke, the more agitated she was as she hit the side of the bed with clenched fists.Once she thought about this, she was repulsed and regretful.She had taken care of an illegitimate daughter but overlooked her birth daughter’s feelings for so many tears. She was not worthy as a mother!“Aunt Tanner, don’t be like this.” Cordelia quickly stopped her. “Don’t worry. Nelly won’t have the Tanner Group, and Mr. Tanner isn’t the sole decision-maker in the company. There are other shareholders!“What you have to do now is to eat and sleep well and take care of yourself

Nicholas’ icy gaze raked across everyone there.Dressed in a black suit, he was almost mercilessly impassive with a bloodthirsty sternness in his eyes. Those who stood around him were his underlings with actual guns and bullets.No entertainment company boss in Centrolis dared to have a lineup like that thus far.“Nothing happened between Ms. Adams and me,” Nicholas said strictly. “Before that grand event, I barely knew her. I felt weak after drinking the alcohol she passed me. Ha, I’ll be consulting my lawyer about this. If she spiked my drink, I must press charges!”A reckless reporter mocked him. “But Mr. Thompson, how can you prove that nothing happened between the two of you?”Nicholas’ expression was dark, while Ian could not hold himself back. He pulled a pistol out of his pocket, but Nicholas noticed it and stopped him with his eyes.“Mr. Thompson, please don’t avoid the question with silence.”Nicholas took a deep breath and smiled at the provocative reporter.“Don’t w

While the onlookers speculated, the sound of high heels echoed.Cordelia saw Nelly walk in on her high horse as the tassels of her shawl swayed with her movement. Her chin was tipped up as she looked down like she was scorning everyone—until she saw Cordelia.She paused, and her gaze stayed on Cordelia for a moment before a mocking smile pulled her lips up.“Ah, Ms. Tanner!” The auction host went to welcome her.Someone in the crowd said swiftly, “I heard that Mr. Tanner’s passed the whole Tanner Group to her!”“She’s the youngest female president among the four major families now! It’s no wonder her appearance was grander than a president’s!”Nelly slowly approached Cordelia. A flash of cold contempt gleamed in her eyes.“Ms. Jenner, it’s been a while!”“Yeah, it’s been a while.” Cordelia knew that Nelly did not have any good intentions. “Heh, what’s keeping you up recently, Ms. Tanner? Busy inheriting your family business?”“It’s alright!” Nelly crossed her arms. “Dad’s pass

The nurses greeted Josiah friendlily. “Mr. Bayer, you’re here again!”Josiah smiled at them and headed straight to the hospital ward.The nurses had heart-shaped eyes as they gathered around to chat with grins.“Mr. Bayer is so handsome! Not bad at all compared to those hunks!”“Right? He’s not just good-looking, but he’s also devoted. He’s here every day while Ms. Kelly’s hospitalized… Sigh, it’s a pity that she doesn’t recognize him.”“Ms. Kelly’s a poor thing too. She got into an accident, and her father doesn’t even care… Lucky Mr. Bayer’s keeping her company every day.”Josiah pushed the door open and saw Kelly spacing out in bed. He forced a smile and walked over to her.“Are you feeling better today?” He wanted to pat her head, but she avoided him instinctively and stared at him as she hid to the side.Josiah was sad. It had been so long, and she was still unfamiliar with him. He forced a smile and kept his hand to pour her a glass of water and tell her a joke sitting ne

Rowan’s brows creased. He looked into the girl’s eyes. She was sick, but her eyes were full of life. They told him she already had an answer before she asked the question.She wanted to help Mandy and seek justice for herself.“You’ve thought through this?” asked Rowan. “Once these are exposed, the Tanners’ dirty laundry will be aired to the world. You’ll be implicated too.”“I’m not scared.” Kelly shook her head with a smile. “I’m dying soon. What’s there to be scared of?“But I can’t just sit around and watch them take advantage of my mom!”“Who says that you’re dying soon? Are you doubting my skills?” Rowan smiled. “Aren’t you afraid that your crush will be sad when you say that?”Kelly froze before a rare blush colored her pale cheeks.“Josiah is great. He’s more concerned about you than your father is!” Rowan took the syringe and injected her at the vein with ease.“My dad’s never been concerned about me.” Kelly chuckled self-deprecatingly. “He’s always scorned that I’m a
