Married a Secret Billionaire

There was a buzz in Cordelia’s ears as she was stupefied for ten seconds.

$150,000? She clutched the bangle and looked caught in a dilemma.

The price was more than she had expected, and it had not crossed her mind that the piece of jewelry would be worth so much! With $150,000, she would not just pay her mother’s current medical fees but her future ones too. She could even afford to send Carter to a better school…

That said, this was Marcus’ wedding gift to her.

Cordelia frowned slightly. She suddenly recalled how Marcus had looked when he had passed the jewelry box to her.

“This is all I have, and I give it all to you. You’re in charge of the household from now on.”

Biting her lip, she was overwhelmed with guilt. The man had given her everything he had, and this was how she was repaying his sincerity?

“Miss, are you not happy with the price?” the employee asked with a careful smile. “We can negotiate the price. Why don’t I show you our record, and you can consider it before—”

“I’m not selling it!” Cordelia sprang up and shoved the bangle back into her bag swiftly.

“Uh…”

Before the employee could react, she had fled out of the jeweler’s and blended into the bustling street.

“Huh, she didn’t sell it?” A teasing voice came from the upper floor of the jeweler’s.

The employee turned around immediately to bow and greet the man respectfully. “Mr. Bayer!”

The man squinted. There was a playful expression on his handsome face as he sat down on the couch and made a call.

“Z, do you know that your darling came to me to pawn your family heirloom?”

When Marcus opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of Cordelia coming out of the kitchen with two plates.
