Married a Secret Billionaire

She was surprised by the high and mighty man being kind to a guest. He had arranged her somewhere far from the hall. She did not have to be drowned in the crowd, yet she would be fed and rested all she wanted here.

Perhaps she could get this man to deliver the sales proposal…

Cordelia smiled and bowed at the general manager. She then placed the documents in his hands with all seriousness.

…

After returning to Jangasas, Cordelia excitedly told Marcus about it.

He sat on the couch, watching her lady cleaning the house while telling her story like a happy magpie.

He chuckled as if they were a world apart.

Cordelia was over the moon. Not only had she managed to deliver the sales proposal, but she was also happy that she saw Joanne and Yelena’s raging faces when they were stopped at the door.

However, she did not tell Marcus about it.

Therefore, Josiah’s name was repeated many times throughout her story.

“I thought I’d return with nothing. All thanks to Mr. Bayer, I finally sent the proposal out. I’ve done my job.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Bayer to be so nice to be inviting me in! But I didn’t join that ball. I was only eating in a beautiful room.

“He’s different from what I imagined. I thought a person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth like him would be playful… I didn’t expect him to be ambitious!”

“Ambitious?”

Marcus was quite pissed already. He was fuming when he heard that. He could not help but scoff.

“Did you see him? Did you talk to him?”

“I didn’t.” Feeling embarrassed, Cordelia scratched her head. “But isn’t he ambitious to be willing to look at my proposal?”

“All you know about him is limited to pictures and some official information. The dinner was the biggest connection you guys had, but you have never met him… You can tell that he’s ambitious just from that?”

Cordelia peeped at Marcus carefully and noticed something was wrong. He looked terrible.

She was stunned when she asked softly, “Wh-What’s wrong, hubby? Are you mad?”

“D-Did you make a mistake?”

After a moment of silence, Yelena yelled with her shrill voice, “How is it possible that you’re looking for her!?”

“May I know if you’re Ms. Cordelia Jenner?” The man had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. “If you’re not, please step back!”

“You—”

“This is the Splendor Dynasty. The Hamertons are hosting the dinner,” the man said flatly. “It’s my job to decide who to welcome and who not to welcome. I don’t need you to tell me how to do my job!”

Yelena’s face paled from the rage. The corner of her lips twitched, and she could not squeeze a word.

Joanne and William looked at each other, troubled. They thought what was happening was odd.

It was Cordelia! How would a disgraced illegitimate daughter deserve to be in such an event!?

“Ms. Jenner.” The man walked to Cordelia and nodded respectfully. “Please come with me.”

Cordelia’s heart was pounding. As if she was struck by lightning, her chaotic mind was now empty.

“Sir, d-did you make a mistake?” she asked softly in a testing manner. “I don’t have an invitation. And I’m not here for the ball. I just want to deliver some documents…”
