Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

However, he was in urgent need of the money right now. He could only get money from the Southeast Aciatic

account in Xyla’s name.

William bit his lip. It was a risky move.

Who were the Irwins in Southeast Aciatic? They were tough and aggressive. They would not care about the money

but they hated being deceived.

If they found out that William had lied to them, for over 20 years no less, he could imagine the consequences.

William paced back and forth in the room with a frown. He recalled what Chad had looked like when he had visited

him in jail.

Chad had been wrapped in gauze like a mummy and had actually been helped out by the jail warden while walking.

His mental state had not been stable either. He had been a little crazy and he had not been speaking clearly

because he had two teeth missing in the front.

William despised him and had been about to turn around when he’d heard Chad mumbling, “Bro… your Cordelia’s

d-doing so well now…

“I can’t afford to offend her, no…

“She has… the gangs, Southeast Aciatic, and Zephyr Hamerton behind her!”

William had stood rooted to the spot.

Chad had chuckled in a daze, sounding rather eerie.

“Bro, don’t be too full of yourself. Heh… Your son-in-law is no ex-inmate. That girl’s with Zephyr Hamerton! He’ll

come for you…”

Chad had been led back by the jail warden after that.

William had an idea while thinking about this. Cordelia being with Zephyr was not a problem but a blessing for him.

It seemed that Zephyr cared a lot about Cordelia. He would have to step up if William had something to blackmail

Cordelia with.

The Jenner Group’s rise back into the business would only take one word from Zephyr.

William cracked a cunning, vicious grin as he thought about it.

Anyway, where would he get leverage over Cordelia?

…

Since the incident with Chad was over, Cordelia and Trinity had swiftly grown close.

Since they had beaten the man up together, they had bonded over battling side by side. In addition, Trinity was the

director of the new production Imperial Media had invested in, so Cordelia not only met her a lot for work, but they

met often in private as well.

When they met, they, of course, talked about art and creativity.

Both of them had discovered in surprise that their opinions matched in regards to certain art concepts and film

publicity points.

Cordelia often sang Trinity’s praises in public and always told Zephyr with a smile, “Trinity’s really like another me in

this world!”

Whenever Zephyr saw the two of them video-calling each other or sending voice messages back and forth till late

at night, he pursed his lips. Unable to stop them, he could only slump on the couch and stare at Cordelia’s screen

with a murderous gaze.

He had not expected Trinity to come after sending Ginger away! It would have been fine, but Trinity was very much

like a man.

It was worth mentioning that Trinity had an androgynous charm. She usually wore a lot of biker jackets and leather

boots, which made her look cool and suave. She was also a righteous person and she was especially protective of

pretty girls—just as Zephyr had imagined.

On the weekend, Cordelia was home practicing yoga and having a video call.

Zephyr, who came to the door and heard the sounds inside, quickly peeked through the door gap. Fortunately, the

person on the line was Linda, so his scowl lightened up a little.

At the same time, Cordelia struck a downward dog pose on the yoga mat with her bottom arched high.

Zephyr’s blood rushed south.

Cordelia was focused on the screen. Linda had obviously gotten plumper in Nicholas’ care, and there was a happy

smile on her radiant face. The gloomy shadow of her miscarriage seemed to have faded somewhat.

Cordelia was consoled by the sight, as Linda had been an optimistic and cheerful person to begin with.

“You look more and more like a boss now!” Cordelia chuckled.

Linda was decked out in jewelry and looked exactly like a rich woman would. However, under the necklace with the

18 diamonds was still that ring that only cost a few dollars.

“Are you laughing at me?” Linda grinned, brandishing the document in her hand. “Look at this. How can I not help?

Nicholas probably put his head between doors when he was a kid. He can’t even handle that much!”

Sol Entertainment was peaking at the same time as Imperial Media, and the credit was all Linda’s.

“Oh yeah, Cordelia, how’s the production going? We’re collaborating, so I have to ask about the progress of the

schedule!”

Cordelia chuckled wryly. It was the weekend. She had managed to escape Janine’s claws but she had failed to hide

from workaholic Linda.

“The preparations are almost done,” she replied softly. “The script’s being assessed. The actors have been cast too.

They just haven’t signed the contracts.”

“The director’s Trinity Lulham?”

“Yeah, it seems that she’s the only capable one and she has the right influence.”

“Cordelia.” Linda paused with a smirk. “You’ve gotten close to Ms. Lulham recently, huh?”

Cordelia paused. “Yeah.”

“Don’t you know what the insiders say about her?”

Cordelia actually did not know. She was usually busy with work. Although she had one foot in show business, she

had never been bothered by the news or any gossip.

“What do they say?”

“That she isn’t straight!” Linda told her directly. “They say she’s a total lesbian. She doesn’t like men!”

Cordelia was surprised.

“I don’t believe it, but they sound pretty confident,” Linda added. “They say Trinity likes casting pretty actresses in

her films and that she minds the feelings of the actresses very much on set, and… her work centers around

women!

“It’s said that someone even took photos of her spending the night with an actress!”

Cordelia, who was standing on one leg, almost fell on the mat.

What the heck? Trinity was pretty boyish, but she believed that her private affairs should stay private!

“Linda, this must be spread by people who are jealous of her!” Cordelia huffed. “Don’t believe it!”

“I know. I told you I don’t.” Linda grinned. “I’m just saying, if it’s true, you’ve got to distance yourself. But I don’t

mind another person doting on you!”

Cordelia was rendered speechless.

“It’s nothing, but you have a green-eyed monster at home. Once that monster lashes out, it will go… boom!”

Linda spoke her mind freely, having no idea that the green-eyed monster in question was already standing outside

the door.
