Married a Secret Billionaire

As she felt helpless, her phone was pulled out of her grip from the back. Surprised, Cordelia turned back to see Marcus’ glowering face.

He said into the phone in a deep tone, “I don’t care who you are. Show some respect when you speak to my wife!

“If I hear filth like what you said just now again, you might want to think about the consequences you can bear!”

The savageness in his tone was well-expressed through each word he listening to him was enough to send shudders down one’s spine.

The line went quiet all of a sudden. Yelena had been probably scared into muting herself.

Marcus hung up and gave Cordelia’s phone back to her before he went back outside to punch the punching bag with a straight face.

It took Cordelia a moment, but she was moved. No one had protected her like that before—Marcus was the first.

…

Marcus took off his boxing gloves and tossed them aside after punching the bag a few times at the front of the house, breathing harshly with a scowl.

A while later, Josiah received a text from him. [What did you tell William Jenner?]

Josiah thought over his words as he replied with caution, [I did what you said, Z. You said to pressure him, right?]

As soon as the reply was sent, Marcus called him with a voice cold as ice.

“I asked you to pressure him. Did I ask you to talk about the wedding gift too? Hmm?”

“Z, but…”

He wanted to vent on his wife’s behalf. What was Josiah supposed to say if he did not mention the wedding gift?

“Josiah Bayer!” Marcus ground the words through his teeth. “It’s nice having a brain, but yours still isn’t f*cking fully developed!”

The man hung up after saying that, leaving a confused Josiah alone. Lucky for him, he had Fredric Constable, who had also just come from Centrolis, with him.

As his childhood friend, Fredric guffawed after listening to Josiah recount the scenario.
