Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Zephyr was not interested in Neil’s background. He looked indifferent and tossed the spatula on the counter,

crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. There was an unknown emotion in his eyes.

Nicholas continued. “It’s said that Neil Harris is from Mengasas, and his family has relations with the military of

Southeast Aciatic. His accomplishments certainly come from his hard work, but he wouldn’t get popular so fast if he

didn’t have support behind him!”

After a long time, Zephyr glanced at him in silence and uttered, “What stupid background is this?”

Nicholas could sense his jealousy from a mile away.

“I just want you to know.” He held back his laugh. “You can only win knowing your enemy! Wouldn’t you have to

know him thoroughly to tackle him?”

“Why should I care?” Zephyr scoffed. “I call the shots in Centrolis!”

“Oh, you call the shots? Can Mr. Z Hamerton go buy a packet of cigarettes now?”

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

“I wonder if you can call the shots in this?”

“Nicholas Thompson!” Zephyr growled through gritted teeth.

Nicholas looked like he wanted to laugh but could not bear to laugh at him. He then waved his hand before

resuming cutting up some potatoes.

‘Who was unwilling to give me just half a pack of cigarettes back then? Who laughed at me for not having money to

buy even a packet of cigarettes?

‘Hah, this was karma!’

Zephyr rolled his eyes hard. “Thompson, careful not to cut your own finger!”

Half a month later…

A black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Splendor Dynasty.

Those who were there tonight were elites of the society. Cordelia took a look through the car window and could

already feel the opulence and pressure of such a grand event.

She interlocked her fingers with Zephyr and suddenly felt anxious.

The man seemed to feel her fingers lose warmth as he smiled and said softly, “It’s not your first time attending an

event like this. Besides, you’ve met Aunt Cloud. She’s friendly and nice.”

“I know.” Cordelia took a deep breath. “But this is still my first time attending your family event.”

This was a world she had never seen before.

She felt wary, and the feeling clutched her like a vice right now.

Zephyr took her in his arms and pressed a kiss against her hair. He knew what she was worried about and spoke

next to her ear. “It’s grand, but the main character is Aunt Cloud. She’s happy knowing that you are coming, so

she’s told me to take good care of you.

He looked at her. “Also, my grandfather is not attending tonight.”

“What?” Cordelia was surprised.

The rock in her heart seemed to be lifted by what Zephyr said.

“Grandpa’s an elder. It isn’t appropriate to celebrate for a younger family member, so he won’t be coming tonight.

“I’m mainly taking you to meet my father tonight. Don’t worry. He’s a nice man and has a mild temperament. He’ll

be happy meeting you.”

Cordelia lowered her head with her hands fiddling with her dress.

Upon seeing that she stayed silent, Zephyr’s husky voice was enticing as he spoke into her ear. “Someone said that

she’d work hard to enter my world. Has she forgotten so soon?”

Cordelia paused and looked up to meet his eyes. She could not help wearing a sweet smile. It was like her smile

only bloomed for him, and his world only allowed her entry.

She nodded and felt courageous again, squeezing his hand.

Zephyr did not want to get out of the car so soon. He kept his eyes on her and brushed a finger past her cheek,

causing it to blush where he touched.

He jolted and suddenly felt like kissing her…

“Cordelia.” His voice was deep and hoarse as he went closer and puffed warm breaths against her lips.

Zephyr was going to kiss the soft petals when…

“Sir, Ms. Jenner, should—”

Robert froze as soon as he pulled the car door open!

Cordelia gasped and shoved Zephyr away, her blush spreading from her face to the tip of her ears. Meanwhile,

Zephyr gave Robert a death glare. The latter felt chills running down his neck.

‘No, but…’ He had calculated the time and clearly gotten out of the car in advance to give the two of them some

private time! He thought that his boss would have finished what he wanted to say, and it was time to enter too. Why

was it… such a coincidence!?

Robert’s mind went blank, and he forced a stiff smile. The next second, he closed the car door without much

thought!

The Rolls-Royce had an excellent soundproofing effect. Despite that, one could still hear an angry growl from the

inside while Robert fled for his life—“Robert Davis!”

…

When Cordelia held Zephyr’s arm and walked into the hall, everyone’s amazed gazes focused on the two of them.

They made guesses and comments, jealousy and gossip interlaced within.

Cordelia kept a smile up and acted graceful and gracious, looking more like a Mrs. Hamerton.

As Zephyr went to socialize, Kate took the initiative to hold Cordelia’s hand and told him with a grin, “Don’t worry. I

promise she won’t suffer any grievance by my side!”

“Thank you, Aunt Cloud.” Zephyr smiled.

Cordelia smiled at him too. The atmosphere of the party was slowly making her relax more.

She stayed next to Kate and met plenty of people. She also drank quite some wine, and her face felt warm. Kate

had a high alcohol tolerance, so she had been fending the toasts off for her.

“It’s so strange,” someone commented softly. “Who’s this Ms. Jenner? Even Mrs. Kate Hamerton is won over?”

“Hah, she might just be doing that to keep her stepson happy!” A shrill voice said mockingly, “After all, how can an

upstart survive in high society if she doesn’t do some pandering?”
