Married a Secret Billionaire

“Mom!” Cordelia giggled and teased her. “Why are you talking about money all the time now? How worldly!”

“I was too otherworldly in the past. That’s how William Jenner took advantage of me! I shouldn’t have held on to any will back then. I should have just kept using his money. Then you and Carter wouldn’t have to suffer with me…”

“Alright, alright.” Cordelia hugged her mother by the shoulder, afraid that her illness would relapse because of the past.

“It’s all in the past now. William Jenner has nothing to do with us, and we’re doing pretty well, aren’t we?”

“Mm,” Xyla hummed. “Pretty well…”

She sighed and looked elsewhere, still caught in reminiscing.

Now that she thought of it, what was her stubborn will for? Life was realistic and practical. However, the education she received since she was a child had taught her to die in honor rather than to survive in disgrace.

The sweet voice entered Janine’s ears.

She turned around and saw a pair of mother and daughter sitting at the lounge close by with their backs against her. Despite that, it was not difficult to see that they were close.
