All Chapters of Married a Secret Billionaire: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Cordelia froze. Once she heard Jesse’s voice now, everything in her automatically shifted to fight mode. She looked at him in alert.Jesse could not help chuckling when he came close and saw her like this. He turned to Annie. “You can go back. Cordelia stays.”Annie could only leave first, but she kept turning back to check on Cordelia, worried. Everyone knew about Jesse’s ulterior thoughts regarding Cordelia. Was he up to something by retaining her alone?Annie stopped when she got to the company exit.Before she and Cordelia went on the business trip together previously, the company regulation stated that each employee had to leave an emergency contact with both the company and their partner. She remembered that Cordelia had saved her husband, Marcus, as the contact.Annie searched for Marcus’ number from her phone contacts and sent him a text after a moment of hesitation.…Jesse smirked at Cordelia in the office.“What a capable junior I have.” He looked her up and down. “T

“Ms. Jenner, calm down.” Josiah kept his distance from her. “I’m sending you home.”Cordelia looked outside. This was not the way home!Actually, Josiah knew all about Michael and Jesse’s conspiracy. The car had just left the hotel. He had to put up an act instead of sending Cordelia home directly. That was why they took a longer way.In spite of it, Cordelia did not know that! She became more alert and quivered a little. She had already unhooked her bag strap and gripped it tight in her hand.What she was currently thinking were scenes of women's self-defense. She calmed down and thought carefully. There were three people, including the driver, in this narrow space. Other than her, the other two were strong men. She could not fight them directly.It was a coincidence that she sat right behind the driver… She pursed her lips, and her big eyes kept up with what Josiah would do closely.…Marcus turned his phone as he stepped out of the club.Robert spoke in a low voice next to h

Marcus played with Cordelia’s long hair with a smile, seeing that she was a little down.“What’s the matter?”Cordelia sighed and chortled wryly.“I don’t have any good idea to seek revenge from them for now,” she said softly. “I don’t want word about this matter to get out since it’s not exactly glorious. People like them get to live their lives like nothing happened after what they did, but I can’t do anything to them.“I can only pretend nothing ever happened and endure it for now until the day I’m powerful enough to fight them and settle the score with them!”Marcus chuckled lightly as he looked at her.Cordelia was not a soft pushover. This woman was tough, clear with what she loved and hated, resilient, and patient. She would avenge if there was a grudge, and she was able to stay calm and help herself in a crisis. She even had the determination and courage to risk it all.She was like a female version of him.The corners of Marcus’ lips curled up high. The more he thought

Cordelia was delirious. She did not know how to answer him and could only respond shyly following what he said.She gently closed her eyes, listening to the light shower of rain pitter-pattering on the window and feeling the man’s passionate kisses… She slowly opened up her heart.…Marcus eventually woke up at the crack of dawn.Back when he was at the Hamertons’, he would sometimes wake up at 4:00 a.m. to work. He would always wake up early, a habit unchanged all these years.In spite of it, because of Cordelia last night, he was filled with the impulse to sleep in for the first time.Marcus turned to look at her silently. The girl was sound asleep and looked endearing. He could not help kissing her lips, but the sweetness of it stirred his urge again. He tried to hold himself back as he thought about last night’s frenzy. She must be exhausted.Marcus got up and caught a glimpse of his phone screen lighting up. He put on a T-shirt and got out of bed to go to the balcony quietl

Carter was soaked in sweat, looking frantic with red-rimmed eyes. He failed to hold back his tears when he saw Cordelia come for him and went up to grab her.“Cordelia, something happened at home!”“What’s wrong?”“Your sister…” He panted. “Yelena took a lot of people home saying that she wants to chase us out!”Cordelia felt her ears buzz, and her mind went blank.“She came with a lot of workers saying she wants to take back the house to renovate it for her own use! Sis, didn’t your father give the house to our mom? What right does she have to take it back!?”Cordelia’s heart thrashed. She panicked for a moment, not understanding why Yelena would do that.“Let’s go back and have a look first!” She consoled Carter, “We’ve been living there for so many years. She can’t just take it back like that. There could be some misunderstanding!”“What misunderstanding could there be? Yelena must be up to no good!” Carter fumed. “She took so many people to our place today and chased me out
