Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 651

The men gathered in the bar's private room. It was rare for them to relax.

Many good things had happened lately. Josiah and Kelly were engaged. They were going to get married a year later. At the same time, their companies will collaborate by then.

From now on, the Bayers and the Tanners would head toward a brighter future together. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Not only had Seth succeeded with his confession, but Zennie was so outstanding she got seven A's in the spring self-enrolment program. The Centrolis Medical Institute made an exception to accept her. She was enrolled as an undergraduate and Master's degree student.

She and Seth promised they would study to become doctors together. They would work together at the operating table in the future.

Nicholas was confused. Why were these academic tyrants so dramatic even in love? How old would they be after they were done with their studies? Did they want to get married and have kids? Were they in a relationship to sacrifice to humans in the medical field?

"You're uncultured, N. You won't understand the joy of being academic tyrants!" Josiah chuckled.

Nicholas glared at him with his side eye grimly, giving the former a shiver.

In the next second, it was as if a wolf was eating a lamb when Nicholas pounced at Josiah and snatched his wallet quickly.

Robert was carrying a black cat and combing its hair. It was a stray he had adopted, and he had named it Sheriff. It ate less than Ginger but was so much more protective and loyal to its owner.

He was just watching the chaos while cheering on. Sheriff meowed in excitement too.

Zephyr brought out a cigarette slowly and lit it. Nicholas could only watch. It sure was nice when the former had the mother-in-law's support...

Fredric was the only one who did not fit in. He was drinking alone, being all moody.

His relationship with Trinity had no breakthrough at all. He was an eloquent lawyer but could not say a word when he was with her.

After they were tired of fooling around, Josiah and Nicholas came to sit with him on each side. They looked at each other and instantly understood what was wrong with him.

"What's wrong?" Josiah smiled. "Trinity is still unwilling to accept you?"

"Didn't you ask around to find out what she has been up to?" Zephyr turned his face to look at him.

"She's... shooting somewhere," Fredric said in an upset manner. "It's a period piece where they're shooting in a desert. She's been there for over ten days. There's hardly any signal there. I can't get hold of her."

"What else?"

"And..." This was what he was most unwilling to talk about. "Neil is the male lead again."

"Ha, I like them!" Nicholas laughed intentionally. "One is a director, while the other is the male lead that she always casts. They're perfect for each other, a match made in heaven!"

"Did you not go to school?" Josiah continued to mock him. "It's more accurate to say that they're made for each other!"

Nicholas glared at him and shut his mouth.

Fredric looked at Nicholas with anger. "N, aren't you going to help me?"

"How do you want me to do that?" Nicholas shook his head. "You want me to trouble Neil with my power in showbiz?"

Nicholas looked serious. "Freddy, if you really love her so much that you can't let her go, as your bro, I can help you. But if you're just upset, or if you like Trinity who doesn't like you anymore, I advise you to stop. Stop disturbing her!"

"Hmm, I agree with that!" Josiah sided with Nicholas. "Freddy, why did you do that if you knew this would happen? You've lost a person who was sincere about you. If you want her back, you'll need to give more!"

Fredric was dizzy from their advice and lifted his eyes to look at Zephyr. He said nothing, his eyes betraying his complicated feelings.

"Z..."

"I'm afraid I can't help you," Zephyr said in a deep voice. "I actually came here today to say goodbye."

"What?"

"I'm taking Cordelia to Chaiseland until the baby is born. I might not see you guys for a while."

They were quite shocked. They looked at each and fell into silence.

"What's with that face? It's not that I'm not coming back!" Zephyr chuckled. "Cordelia needs somewhere that's less warm now. Chaiseland's climate is damp and suits her. My grandpa has many things that I need to handle over there, so I thought I'd seize this opportunity to go."

Nicholas looked at him for a while and walked to him. "Then... All the best. Come back soon after the child is born. Let me hold him!

"Also, although I don't have much power in Chaiseland... If you got yourself into trouble, my lackeys will be there right away!"

Zephyr patted his shoulder and smiled.

Nicholas was quite cute when he got serious. It was quite moving.

He hesitated and thought he would give him a goodbye hug. At that moment, Nicholas opened his arms wide, his sincere smile making it hard for one to reject him.

They hugged each other, but the moment they parted, Zephyr felt that he had clearly lost something...

He felt his pocket.

His cigarettes were gone!

"You b*stard!"

Nicholas was laughing happily because of the wallet and cigarettes he had snatched.

Chapter 652

A few days later, Cordelia followed Zephyr to Melorian.

The journey was a smooth one. She no longer had morning sickness and did not feel uncomfortable. After two days of jet lag, she was full of energy again.

She wanted to check out the city.

It was where Zephyr had grown up. It was not as gloomy as Ricos, and it was sunny every day. Each building was packed with history.

The city had this unique sturdiness. Coupled with the sunset and the pigeons flying by the top of the church, it became a beautiful scene.

Cordelia fell in love with this place. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zephyr held her hand and took her through the streets. They would watch matches at Old Clifford, look at peculiar items at Northern Point, and feed pigeons at Rylands Square.

He used to only come here when he was sad. He had never thought he would take his beloved wife here one day.

The pigeons at the square seemed to have gained weight. Life was good here.

"Do you like this place?" He hugged her from behind.

Cordelia's belly was growing, so she no longer had that tiny waist. He might not be able to wrap his arms around her again a few months later.

Cordelia chuckled as she looked at him and nodded.

She loved this place, but she loved being in his embrace more.

In reality, the reason she loved this place was that Zephyr had grown up there. Without him, no matter how beautiful the place was, it was nothing to her.

"You've been having fun. You should go to the office tomorrow, right?" she asked.

"Yes," he said.

When they had just arrived in Melorian, Janine wanted to throw Cordelia a grand welcome party. However, it was inappropriate as she was pregnant, so they only had a simple family dinner at home. Cordelia met everyone in the Bakers.

Zephyr's grandfather was a kind, old man. Similar to Liam, he seemed majestic at first, but he was actually a fun, easy-going person.

He was half-retired now, so Janine was taking care of all matters at the Baker Group.

As she was close with the grandfather, Cordelia thought the rest of the family was like that too, only to find out that was not the case.

Although the Bakers were a prestigious family that owned a couple of consortiums, they were infamous for their internal strife.

Everyone wanted their own business, as well as a share of the consortiums. They were especially upset about Janine being the boss, and they vent it out on Zephyr. Therefore, Cordelia was observing carefully the family dinner. She tried to guess their relationship.

Apart from the grandparents, everyone wore a fake smile and put on armor-that was the real situation in the Bakers.

Meanwhile, Zephyr came to help his mother to remove the eyesores.

Cordelia finally understood why Xyla reminded her to help Janine during their phone call before she came.

"Ignore whatever is happening in the family. I'm here." Zephyr squeezed her shoulders and got her head to lean on him.

However, Cordelia had a plan of her own. She could not let her husband fight alone. Also, she had promised her mother she would help her mother-in-law.

"But..." She pouted. "I don't want to just slack at home."

"Aren't you here to rest?" Zephyr smiled awkwardly.

"But I must do something too!" She looked serious. "Many threads on the mother-and-child forums said that women can work as long as they're comfortable during their pregnancy! Also, not only does normal work and learning train good discipline, but it's also great prenatal education!"

Zephyr pursed his lips.

Did he not get someone to remove those threads when he saw them?

In reality, it was not that he was unwilling to let her work, it was just that the Bakers were a big nuisance. He was worried Cordelia would be mentally exhausted.

Chapter 653

"No matter what, I want to fight with you." Cordelia held his hand and looked into his eyes. She was gentle but determined. "Haven't it always been like this? We promised that we wouldn't let each other face everything alone."

Zephyr felt warmth in his heart. He played with her hair.

He chuckled a moment later and said, "Mm-hmm, you're right. Then what do you want to do, wifey?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." She smiled. Her stomach rumbled as she was hungry again.

Rather embarrassed, she looked at her husband while blushing.

He pulled her into his embrace and laughed out loud.

"Wifey, I know what you should do now. You should just start a Southeast Aciatic restaurant here. You can eat while making money! It's perfect!"

Cordelia jumped up to punch him.

He voluntarily bent down for her to hit him. If she used more energy now, she would eat more later.

They walked toward the hotel in the city center while fooling around in laughter.

Not far away, a few pairs of eyes were watching them. After a moment of silence, one of the women said, "Miss, that's the lady that Zen brought back from Centrolis." "Mm-hmm, I know." The lady nodded. "I didn't go to the family dinner. What a waste."

"What are you planning to do, miss?"

"What are you saying?" The lady glared at her maid. "Since Zen brought his wife home, I naturally have to treat her well!"

She smiled.

She dressed like a lady from Chaiseland. She wore a cool coat with a plaid dress and loafers but did not look like the locals.

Her features were beautiful, and she looked kind, exuding subtle sexiness.

She looked like a regular university student, but the luxurious car next to her betrayed her extraordinary identity.

"Miss, I heard that he'll be going to the headquarters from tomorrow onward."

"Hmm..." The lady said softly, "I'll go to their place to visit his wife. Prepare a gift for me."

"What should I get?"

"Are you stupid? Of course..." The lady's tone changed. "The more expensive, the better!"

The maid understood and went to get the gift. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Fɪndηovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The lady got into the car and disappeared at the end of the street.

Zephyr had already gone to the office when Cordelia woke up the next day.

She got up and went downstairs slowly after putting on a sweater. The castle-like house was Zephyr's private villa, and he had people maintaining it when he was away. The few blonde butlers greeted her when they saw her.

"What would you like to eat today, Mrs. Hamerton?"

"Hmm..." Cordelia had been eating high-calorie food since arriving here. She missed home.

"I'd like "

"You want something else?"

A voice suddenly came from the door.

Cordelia was stunned. The voice was unfamiliar to her. Subsequently, she saw a smiley lady walking in. A maid was following behind her with a food container in her hand, which she then placed softly on the table.

"Hello, cousin-in-law!" The lady greeted her in a friendly manner. "I brought this for you. I wonder if you'd like it."

Chapter 654

Cordelia was stunned and failed to react.

Meanwhile, the lady introduced herself naturally. "You've never met me, cousin-in-law. I'm Ava, my dad is Noah. I'm sure you've met my dad!"

"Oh!" Cordelia came to a realization. "So, you're Zen's cousin."

"That's right!" Ava smiled.

Cordelia had seen Zephyr's uncle at the family dinner.

He was a strange man. He was plump like a ball, and he looked wicked when he smiled. His existence made one uncomfortable.

It was said that he was also the person among the Bakers who was against Janine and Zephyr the most.

He would always say privately: "Why get someone with a different family name to take over the Bakers' matters?"

However, he would flatter them when they were around.

Ava was not Noah's daughter. She was his wife's daughter with another man. They said she was great at pleasing the adults. He loved her, giving her the life of a princess. Nobody in the Bakers dared to say that she was a drag.

It was said that she had asked to change her family name when she was ten. The old man had disagreed at first. After her and her mother's years of persuasion, she finally got to change her last name to Baker when she became an adult.

The Bakers did not say anything on the surface, but they would secretly mock her.

"Why change her family name out of nowhere? She just wants a share of the interests and estates!"

"Nobody knows if she will get anything! Ha, don't conclude anything now just because the Bakers' first daughter is taking over. The grandson with a different family name will take over in the future!"

"Would he trouble his own uncle?"

"We don't know that! Let's see."

Cordelia smiled courteously at Ava when she snapped back to her senses.

"I didn't know what to get you when we're meeting for the first time, so I got you some Southeast Aciatic dishes. This is embarrassing!"

"Oh..." Cordelia shook her head, "It's not-"

"I'm sure you're hungry?" Ava passed her the cutlery. "Try them and tell me if they're delicious!"

Cordelia was worried.

She could not eat the food before finding out if Ava was a friend or a foe.

Someone had put mercury in Zephyr's cake when he was nine... It seemed the situation in the Bakers was nothing better. She should be cautious. "Cousin-in-law..." Ava looked at her with her big, innocent eyes. "Why aren't you eating?"

"Ha, it's not that I don't want to eat, it's just that... I suddenly lost my appetite."

"What?" Ava looked shocked. "A pregnant woman is so fickle-minded when it comes to her appetite?"

Cordelia showed an awkward smile and said nothing.

Ava seemed to have seen through Cordelia. Her voice became soft. "Don't tell me... you suspect I put something in your food?"

"No, no!" Cordelia did not want to make things awkward. "Don't take it the wrong way. I really just lost my appetite suddenly..." "If you're suspicious, I'll eat it first!"

Ava sat at the table and picked up the cutlery. She took a bite of the bread and then drank the milk.

She took a bite of the sausage, meat pie, cake, and deep-fried cruller and looked at Cordelia after she was done.

The maids around looked at each other and whispered to each other.

Ava made Cordelia feel guilty. She did not look like a manipulative woman, but Cordelia just wanted to be safe. After all, she was pregnant.

If she was poisoned, even if she could take it, her baby could not.

"Cousin-in-law..." Ava's voice was shaking. "You believe me now, right?"

"Cousin, I..."

"I know. My dad's reputation is bad in the family. My cousin might have told you something that you have your guard up against me... But I came to visit you with 100% sincerity! My dad isn't perfect, but he's... really just mean on the outside. He's a softie on the inside. You'll naturally know who is good and who is not after living with the Bakers for a while!"

Cordelia bit her lip. She did not know what to say.

At that moment, a deep and cold voice came from the door. "I didn't see 100% sincerity, but you sure are hostile to be messing up my family when I am away!" Ava felt a squeeze in her heart.

Zephyr slowly walked in from the door.

The suppression from his body and his eyes seemed to be able to freeze someone.

However, his eyes became soft as soon as he saw Cordelia. He had all of his attention on his wife now.

"Hubby?" Cordelia was stunned and then smiled sweetly. "Why are you home? I thought you went to the office!"

"I know you're sick of eating local food, so I went to a Southeast Aciatic restaurant to get you the food that you love."

He put the food container on the table and peeped at the stuff Ava had brought.

When he looked up again, his deep and ferocious eyes gave people a shiver.

"Cousin..." Ava called out to him softly.

"Ah, don't be mad!" She quickly explained, "I actually bought these for your wife... Ha, see. We have the same thought that she can't get used to the food here!" "We?" Zephyr emphasized. "Who is 'we'?"

Ava's expression changed.

"We're from Centrolis. If you think we're the same, please leave my house. We're not the same!"

"Cousin " sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He looked coldly at her. "These things, did you intentionally take a bite of everything?"

"No, no!" Ava quickly cleared up. "She... was unwilling to eat, thinking that I poisoned the food. That's why I took a bite of everything to prove myself!"

"Is that true?" Zephyr looked at Cordelia.

Ava's eyes were red. She heard Zephyr talking while smiling in the next second.

"You're such a good girl, wifey!"

"W-What!?"

"I told her that apart from the food that I got her, she shouldn't eat anything that anyone else gave her!"

He turned around to look at Cordelia and squeezed her cheeks softly. "Seems like you remember what I said! You're such a good girl!"

Chapter 655

Ava's face was flushing and turning pale. She stood aside, looking terrible.

With a look from Zephyr, the maids around moved the food from the table to the trash can.

"I heard at the door that you only bought her breakfast because you didn't know what gift to get when you're meeting her the first time?" His eyes were cold as he looked at Ava. Ava quickly nodded without knowing what he really meant.

"You brought those things the first time you visit?" He scoffed. "Didn't your parents teach you etiquette when you visit someone?"

She was shocked. "Cousin "

"Although you're uncle's stepdaughter, you grew up in the Bakers." Zephyr glanced at her expressionlessly. "Go home to ask your parents what to do in situations like this. "You're meeting me and my wife this time. Don't embarrass yourself again when you visit someone else in the future. Don't humiliate our family!"

Ava's shoulders were shaking as she clenched the side of her clothes with one hand.

Zephyr ordered coldly, "Send the visitor away."

A male butler and a housekeeper in high-end suits walked forward with a smile. They nodded courteously to get Ava to leave.

Ava took a deep breath. The moment she turned around, she saw Zephyr pouring porridge into a bowl carefully and feeding Cordelia from the corner of her eye. Cordelia's blushed face was filled with joy.

Ava bit her lip while clenching her fists. She ran out of the villa without turning her head.

It was 9:00 a.m. when Cordelia was done eating.

"Aren't you leaving?" she asked while looking at Zephyr. "Don't you have to work today?"

He smiled. He could never finish his work. Being with her was more important to him.

"My mom is there. There's nothing much that I can help with."

"Go soon. Don't exhaust your mom!" Cordelia tidied his tie thoroughly and grabbed his suit.

The locals here were taller with distinct features.

Nevertheless, among the locals, her husband was not shabby at all. He was even more outstanding than them.

Cordelia's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Wifey, it's actually useless for me to go today." Zephyr held her shoulder and chuckled. "The meeting today is with the seniors and founding members. I don't usually go to meetings like this." "Oh..." She nodded. "Seniors? So, your uncle is there too?"

"Yes."

Cordelia was hesitant.

Zephyr knew what she was thinking and said softly. "Do you think my uncle is rather odd in the family?" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Cordelia was stunned and smiled shyly.

Could this man read minds?

In reality, she had noticed that at the family dinner and had many questions.

For instance, there was something strange about the way Noah spoke. It was shockingly direct sometimes.

Another example would be him criticizing Janine and Zephyr behind their back and respecting them on the surface. However, it was obviously an act, and it was a very stiff act. It felt like someone ordered him to do that.

Another thing was that the Bakers would usually marry someone from another prestigious family. Noah was the only one who had married a divorced woman with a child. Not only that but his wife, Hannah Johnson, was also born poor. She had even had to survive on relief funds for some time.

Meanwhile, Janine, who was usually hot-tempered, seemed to be very patient with her brother.

Zephyr looked at Cordelia while explaining everything to her.

"I heard from my mom that he used to learn horsemanship with her when they were young. The horse that she was riding suddenly started running. My uncle went chasing after it and stopped the horse. She was saved, but he fell from the horse... He became... wonky since that fall."

"Wonky?"

"Mm-hmm..." Zephyr licked his lips, "His head isn't very good now."

Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 656

"He has the mind of a 10-year-old child. He knows some stuff, but not too much."

Cordelia nodded.

Therefore, it made sense that he was rude and that it was hard to communicate with him sometimes.

As such, out of guilt, Janine did not mind what he said.

"Not only my mom, but my grandfather is patient with him too," said Zephyr. "He married Hannah, who is Ava's mom.

"But he'll listen to whatever she says. She has her fingers around him, which is a headache to my grandfather. My mom has spoken to him a couple of times, and he dared to fight back. That's why they're not as close now."

Cordelia understood now.

Perhaps Noah did not get the terrible behavior and reputation from himself. Instead, someone was ordering him to do what he did.

Zephyr patted her head. "Cordelia, I told you all this so that you can be aware, not to exhaust you mentally."

"Mm-hmm, I know!" She smiled. "My mission here is to rest well and give birth to our son!"

Ava had been trying to get close to Cordelia the past few days.

She would text her every day and night, as well as chat with her. She even initiated going to the hospital for a medical checkup with her.

She seemed harmless.

Cordelia showed her phone to Zephyr.

There would always be more than 99 messages on her chatting application, and over 80% came from Ava.

She would even send her pictures of cats that she saw on the street.

"Isn't your cousin a little too friendly?" Cordelia was not sure whether to cry or laugh.

"Ignore her. Block her if you think she's too annoying," Zephyr said flatly. "She's been clingy since young."

"So, she's clingy with you as well?"

Zephyr was stunned and instantly recalled those trick questions that she used to ask him.

"Wifey, w-what are you talking about?" He faked a laugh. "How would Ava and I..."

Cordelia knew that it was impossible something was going on with them.

However, he could not stop her from liking him!

Moreover, they were not cousins by blood.

She pouted and said nothing. If she went on, it would make her seem like she was being dramatic.

Perhaps her hormones were imbalanced since she got pregnant and she was always overthinking.

Her phone vibrated at that moment.

It must be Ava's daily text again.

Cordelia suddenly felt irritated. She handed her phone to Zephyr directly to show him how Ava annoyed her every day.

He was secretly nervous when he saw her face suddenly sunken. However, he found out that it was not Ava who sent her messages when he checked.

Her phone kept vibrating as someone was face-timing her.

"Wifey!" He felt relieved as he called out to her. "See who is calling you!"

"Hmm?"

Cordelia was stunned when she took over her phone.

The name on the screen was like a light to her. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She picked it up immediately, and Melorian Airport appeared in the background.

"Hello, my dear Mrs. Z." The person's laughter was like a bell. "Come pick me up!"

Chapter 657

An hour later, Cordelia arrived at Melorian Airport's arrival hall.

Trinity walked out of the VIP lane while pushing two big boxes. She ran toward Cordelia while cheering as soon as she saw her.

The latter was happy. She could not run due to her heavy body, so she walked slightly faster to welcome her. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Fɪndηovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Trinity dared not touch her. She only gave her a soft hug and touched her belly.

"It's so big!" she said while smiling. "Seems like this fella is very well-fed. I'm sure he'll be a fat baby. It's going to be fun! I don't care, I have to be his godmother. I must be the first one to carry him!" "Okay, okay!" Cordelia could not stop laughing. "You're not his godmother. You might become his aunty by then..."

"Hey!" Trinity stared at her, her cheeks red.

Zephyr got his men to carry her bags. He nodded at her with a smile.

Trinity held Cordelia's arm and walked in front.

They said a woman could be louder than 300 sparrows.

Now that 600 sparrows were gathered, Zephyr could only stand aside. He might even have to sleep alone tonight...

"Say, why are you in Chaiseland?" Cordelia asked her.

Trinity leaned her head on her shoulder and raised her pitch intentionally. "I came here to be with you!"

Cordelia felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Haha, I'll stop pulling your leg," she said in all seriousness. "I'm here to study."

"Study?"

"That's right! Imperial Media is paying. Madam Baker approved the young, outstanding directors to study at the headquarters in Chaiseland. The Baker Group is the headquarters, while the study location is in the headquarters' building. Class will start tomorrow. Cordelia, we'll see each other every day again!"

Cordelia was over the moon. She almost screamed from the excitement.

Zephyr was watching her from behind. His face was gentle, and his eyes were filled with love for her.

He had been worried that she would be bored in Chaiseland, so he found a way to get Trinity over to be her company. She happened to have finished shooting her latest movie and only had some editing left to do.

He got her here to be with Cordelia so that she would not be so lonely. Secondly, it was impossible that he could watch Ava every day.

If she wanted to pull some tricks on Cordelia, Trinity would definitely see through her since she was smart. Cordelia would not be left helpless.

As long as his wife was good, only then could he focus on the Bakers' chaos.

Moreover, it was a good thing for Trinity to study. It would help her reach a greater height in her career.

However, Cordelia did not know about the arrangement.

Zephyr smirked. It was a surprise for her, and he knew she would love it.

At that moment, Robert called. He walked slower and spoke softly. "What's wrong?"

"Sir, Ms. Lulham's flight has arrived."

"I know. Cordelia and I have just picked her up."

"Okay." Robert lowered his voice before continuing. "Sir, should I get Neil over?"

"Why?" Zephyr frowned. "Do you think it's not chaotic enough here?"

"No, no..." Robert chuckled. "I just thought you made something personal into something official... so handy. It'll be a waste if you don't do more of it!"

Zephyr's voice deepened, "Robert... Do you think I can't hit you because we're far away?"

Robert could sense his deadly stare through the phone and hung up immediately.

The two ladies in the front were still chatting.

"Oh yeah, did you come alone?"

Trinity nodded.

Chapter 658

"Then... Who sent you off when you left Centrolis?" Cordelia looked at Trinity quietly.

The latter smiled. She knew what she was trying to ask.

"Neither of them came. I left secretly without telling anyone."

"What?"

"I thought I'd just allow time to take the wheel." Trinity was carefree. "Just like what Millie said, isn't my career better? Ha... I thought I'd focus on my next movie. Since I have the opportunity to study here, perhaps I'll get some inspiration!"

No matter how Trinity tried to hide it, Cordelia could see the melancholy in her eyes.

She knew she could not let go of Fredric, but she did not know what to do with Neil's love for her.

It could be good to just let things be. Time would reveal the truth-time would reveal one's heart.

Cordelia patted Trinity's shoulder and smiled at her.

Before coming to Melorian, the company had arranged Trinity's accommodation.

Nevertheless, Cordelia insisted that she would stay at the villa for a few days.

Zephyr could only pretend to be generous. In reality, he was eager for her to leave.

Trinity was holding back her laughter hard when she saw him like that. When she was about to move to her place, Zephyr had to go to Puarvis for a business trip. He asked her to take care of Cordelia for a few days.

Naturally, she agreed.

On the next day, they went to the Baker Group together.

The Baker Group was involved in many industries, while entertainment was only one of the branches. The few buildings in the headquarters were tall and majestic. They almost occupied half of the street. The entertainment department was in one of the buildings.

Cordelia had never been there. The staff aside, even most of the superiors in the company could not recognize her. Apart from the family members that she had met, the rest were just unfamiliar faces to her. The staff came from all over the world. They were mainly from Centrolis, while quite many of them were locals.

When Trinity went to class, Cordelia read a book at the cafe. Her back was sore after sitting for a long time, so she got up to take a stroll. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findηovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She arrived at the office area.

Unlike the Hamerton Group, the Baker Group's office was open-style. The access was less strict. As long as nobody was going to Janine and Zephyr's offices, the front desk would usually let anyone in. Cordelia looked around the office. The white-collar workers were busy, walking fast. Nobody noticed the pregnant lady.

She was at ease.

As she was about to turn around to go to the next floor, someone suddenly gave her a stack of documents.

"Make copies, it's for the meeting in the afternoon!"

"What?"

"I said make copies!" The person glanced at her in annoyance. "If you don't understand Chaisene, do you understand Acian?"

"I think you've misunderstood." Cordelia calmed down. "I'm not "

"You're not the new intern?" That person checked her out. "Then why are you standing here?"

Cordelia was stunned. She then realized that she was standing behind an empty desk, while the desk happened to be in front of the stairs. 'So, this area is meant for interns.'

She quickly stood out. Just when she was going to explain that she unintentionally stood there, another person tossed her a stack of receipts. "Sort out the claimable receipts!"

Cordelia was rendered speechless. At that moment, she saw someone passing by not far away.

"Ava?"

Cordelia was stunned. She wanted to call out to her, but Ava soon vanished.

Chapter 659

Cordelia was going to go after Ava, but a third person stopped her.

"Have you prepared the meeting room?"

She was stunned. "What meeting room?"

"Here!" The woman tossed her a seating chart. "Arrange the table cards in the meeting room following this list. Check if the coffee beans are in the coffee machine and bring a big bottle of water. Also, prepare desserts for the directors according to their liking! Go, now!"

"You guys have really made a mistake!" Cordelia looked at the three arrogant white-collar workers. They wore name tags. They were Sarah, Jenny, and someone called Fan Lee.

The three of them seemed to have the same pose, whereby they wrapped their arms around their chests and looked condescending. It felt like if she did not do as they said, they would not let her go.

A voice came from not far away. "Hey! Are you guys serious? How does she look like an intern?"

Cordelia turned her head and smiled. Trinity conveniently placed her arm on her shoulder and gave her the "I'm here with you" look.

"She's my friend, not an intern!" Trinity glanced at them angrily. "Move!"

The three of them looked at each other.

They seemed to remember this director's face. They did not want to offend her.

However... Cordelia did not do the tasks that they asked of her. They could not just let go of the pregnant lady just like that!

"What?" Trinity frowned. "Will you only let her go when I ask your department head here?

"Are you guys deaf or stupid? My friend explained so many times that she's not an intern. Do you understand anything? Also, even if she was an intern, you should take care of a pregnant lady, right? How could you get her to do such heavy tasks?"

At that moment, they caught many people's attention.

They did not want to stir things up. After hearing what Trinity said, they took a step back.

They kept the documents and receipts on the desk.

"You're leaving just like that?" Trinity called out to them. "Although this is just a misunderstanding, aren't you guys going to apologize?"

The three women pouted and rolled their eyes at Cordelia and Trinity in annoyance. They ran away quickly after saying that they did not understand what Trinity said.

She was enraged, and Cordelia grabbed her.

"Forget it. Don't stir trouble here," Cordelia said to her softly.

"How can I just let them go? Does Madam Baker know that there are such staff members in the Baker Group!? Cordelia, you must tell your mother-in-law everything that happened. Let her seek justice for you! Cordelia smiled awkwardly. If she had to alert Janine for such a small thing, how could she be her mother-in-law's little helper?

"Okay, why are you even angrier than I am?" Cordelia patted her back. "You're overreacting. Let me buy you coffee to calm down."

"No need." Trinity released a long sigh, glanced at her, and chuckled. "My class has ended today, but I have to go to the studio upstairs to edit my videos. Wait for me at the cafe downstairs. I'll take an hour at most, then I'll buy you a meal. How's that? Are you... willing to wait for me?"

Cordelia rolled her eyes. "Do I have any other choice?"

"No!"

The two of them laughed out loud.

Trinity sent Cordelia downstairs and then she went upstairs toward the studio.

Ava and Hannah were waiting outside. The assistant brought them coffee and politely asked them to wait patiently.

Hannah was smiling happily and looking around in excitement.

"Hey, I heard that the director from Centrolis is studying here!"

"You're wrong, mom!" Ava corrected her. "Ms. Lulham is studying on the 18th floor. This is the studio the company has allocated for her!"

"It's the same!" Hannah patted her arm. "Ava, don't be nervous when you see her. Seize the opportunity! With your looks and body, you can easily get the role of the female lead!" Ava straightened her body and smirked in pride.

Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 660

Ava had always wanted to join the entertainment industry.

Although she looked decent and studied in a film school, she had only landed small roles with a handful of lines despite the countless auditions she had had.

When she asked the directors, the answer she got was that her looks were undistinguished and did not match the image of a main character.

There was even a tactless director who had said directly, "Ms. Baker, you look like one of the many faces produced under the knife. There's nothing recognizable on your face. It's impossible for you to be popular."

Ava had been so angry that she nearly fought the director.

Unwilling to back down, she went home and pestered Noah to sponsor her, and Hannah encouraged it.

As a result, Noah had forked out the money and invested in two films. However, the box office was awful, and the production was a huge loss.

When Noah was about to invest in the third production, Janine stopped him.

Ava and Hannah looked like they stopped asking as well, but they secretly held a grudge and swore to be successful.

Now that Trinity was here for an improvement course, it was the best opportunity for them!

Hannah said dreamily with a smile, "Ava, you'll be so popular in the Aican film industry once you star in Trinity's production! You'll definitely win the next Best Actress award!"

Ava smiled but frowned right after that. "But... mom, what if Ms. Lulham doesn't cast me?"

"You can be the second lead even if you can't get the main lead!" Hannah said softly, "Don't worry. Trinity's under the Baker Group and made a huge profit for your aunt previously. She wouldn't not do Janine the favor!"

Speaking of Janine, Hannah thought of the woman's daughter-in-law.

"Right, how are you getting along with that cousin-in-law of yours recently?"

Ava's expression changed when Hannah mentioned Cordelia.

"I saw her going to the company today. Was she looking for you?"

"Who knows what she was there for?" Ava answered nonchalantly and checked her fresh crystal manicure. "She was roaming alone when I saw her on the third floor. She might be there to supervise Zephyr." "But Zephyr's in Puarvis. What's there for her to supervise?"

"Oh yeah..." Ava thought about it and snorted. "Whatever. I saw her roaming anyway, so I secretly asked some people to stop her."

"How?" Hannah was taken aback. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ava was still nonchalant. "I told them that she's the new intern and to get her to run whatever errands they have!"

"You..." Hannah was angry about the girl's insensibility.

Why was her daughter so impatient that she purposely put Zephyr's wife in a tough spot just because he was not around!? If word got to the mother and son from hell, she and her daughter would not live in peace anymore!

"Ugh, mom, don't worry!" Ava quickly held Hannah's arm when she saw her pale face. "I'll meet Trinity later and save Cordelia after that. Then I'll pretend to punish the few of them. Cordelia won't blame me!" "Really?" Hannah looked at her.

"Really!" Ava was confident.

"Cordelia has baby brains now and buys whatever I say! I've been quite close to her, no problem!"

Despite that, Hannah still fretted.

Before Cordelia came to Melorian, she had heard about Zephyr marrying a good wife. Cordelia was able to win over someone as tough as Janine.

The last time they met at the family dinner, Hannah had thought that not only Cordelia was pretty, but that she was also good with words. The girl had a diplomatic air.

A woman like her was definitely not as simple as Ava thought.

Hannah sighed and reminded her again, "Ava, don't try to play tricks on her at this time, got it? She's new here and has no friends. Janine dotes on her, but they're in-laws... Hah, it's the hardest relationship to handle in this world! There's certainly a conflict between them.

"Pander to her more and let her assume that you're her only friend in this family! You won't lose out for sure!"
