Married a Secret Billionaire

Cordelia took a deep breath.

The room was quiet like it had turned into a soundless space.

She looked up and met Nelly’s mocking gaze, her bright eyes brimming with fearlessness and nonchalance.

“Ms. Tanner, are you thirsty after saying so much?” She chuckled.

Nelly furrowed her brows.

“Everything you say is right!” Cordelia replied unhurriedly, “But you don’t have to worry about what I save for the marriage. Zephyr’s got it all prepared for me.”

Nelly looked appalled.

“You’ve heard about Le Esse, right? It’s a bangle.” Cordelia smiled. “There’s also Le Fari. It’s an emerald ring. It’s said that the king bestowed it when his family ancestor was a concubine.”

“What?” Nelly widened her eyes.

“Why? You haven’t heard of it?” Cordelia acted like realization had just dawned on her. “Ah, that’s right! Zephyr had been keeping them personally before he passed me the jewelry. How could you possibly have seen them!?”

Nelly looked at her and gnashed her teeth.

“But you’re right, Ms. Tanner. I should really improve myself. After all, the future matriarch of the Hamertons can’t lack in talent or knowledge!”
