Married a Secret Billionaire

Phil scoffed. There was mockery in his eyes.

“Yes, you knew that it was in the past.”

She felt tears rolling in her eyes while there seemed to be something stuck in her throat. It was so uncomfortable that she could not make a sound.

He used to treat her well and spoil her.

She had no idea when he changed.

He was cold to her, would keep a distance, and even look down on her.

He would often say that she would be nothing if she did not have the Hamertons supporting her.

He said that she was a stubborn princess who did not understand his life at all. He said she always wanted to have fun and that she did not have any ambitions or a sense of responsibility. He said it would be hard for her to get into university.

She had been studying hard, getting straight As in all subjects. Even her teachers said that she would definitely get into a prestigious university.

However, to him, she was nothing.

“D-Do you not like me anymore?” Zennie choked. She asked that with all of her might. “Then why are we still together?”

“Together?” Phil glared at her with his sharp eyes. “Did you misunderstand something, Ms. Hamerton? Was it I who insisted that we’re together, or are you clinging onto me?”

“Phil! You—”

“Don’t you dare behave like a princess with me!” His eyes were ferocious. He enunciated each word while clenching his teeth. “You think you’re a princess? You’re just a piece of cr*p if you leave the Hamertons! You can’t even take care of yourself!”

Phil left after screaming that at her, ignoring her begging. She staggered behind and almost fell.

She cried her heart out, wrapping her head with her arms. She ignored the judgmental people who passed by.

…

Zennie wandered the streets aimlessly alone.

When she got to the bustling city center, she was surrounded by couples.

The entire world was in love, yet she was the only sad one.

She arrived at DL as she walked. She had the sudden urge to shop there. She forgot when was the last time she shopped there.

Just because Phil had said that she was a spendthrift, she had put away all of her cards. Not only did she not buy new clothes, but she also stopped wearing the clothes that she used to wear. Instead, she would shop in the sales section with him, the kind where there were many pieces for 10 dollars.

Nobody could tell that she was the daughter of the Hamertons when she was in school. Even the students from regular families dressed better than she did.

Phil had especially ‘granted’ her to dress nicer since they were going to Royal Manor today.

Zennie felt terrible, and her eyes turned red again.

She wiped her tears and walked into DL in big steps. The luxurious brands’ sales assistants would usually fight to serve her whenever she walked in.

However, perhaps nobody recognized her at the moment…

She held her head down and unintentionally saw her naked face.

She froze and recalled the old her who loved dressing up. She was shining bright like a proud, colorful flower before.

However, Phil had told her that he did not like others seeing her beautiful face. He wanted her to belong to him and to him only!

“Zennie, I’m the only one who loves you in this world. You can’t live if you leave me!

“What else do you have apart from being the daughter of the Hamertons? You have no skills and can’t do anything. I would’ve killed myself if I were you!

“Zennie, look into my eyes… You can only depend on me in this world!”

“Ahh!“ Zennie suddenly felt a splitting pain in her head. A great fear came rushing like a wave.

She wrapped her arms around her head and staggered as she ran out. She suddenly slipped, missed the stairs, and fell hard from the spiral staircase!

Helen came to a realization after hearing what Cordelia said. She looked at her with surprise.

Cordelia went on to speculate. “Did you notice that Phil would look at Zennie before saying and doing anything? Then she was the one who would speak to us.”

“It seems…” Helen recalled. “He looked at Ms. Hamerton when he took out his phone. She had a change of expression and said that he did not have to use his phone in a panic.”
