Married a Secret Billionaire

Hannah was already angry and was more frustrated when she saw Noah’s silliness. Ava was worse. She felt nothing for this stepfather of hers. If it were not because Noah could give her the title of the Baker heiress and let her live in affluence, she would not have called a fool her father! “Alright, alright, it’s nothing!” Hannah sighed and waved a hand impatiently, “Go do whatever you want. Don’t hang around here!” Noah scratched his head and turned to leave, turning back to look at them in worry as he did. “It’s Zephyr again, isn’t it? Tell me if he’s offended you two. I’ll go to Janine!” “Enough, cut the crap!” Hannah glared at him. Noah pursed his lips and looked at his wife with a wronged expression. Hannah calmed down and suddenly thought that Noah was right. Why did she not ask him to go to Janine? Instead of fuming in silence here, they might as well kick up a fuss. Thinking of this, Hannah put on a new face and went to hook arms with Noah with a grin to sit him down on the couch. “Sweetheart…” Hannah massaged his shoulders gently. “See, Ava’s grown up now but doesn’t have a proper job. Nothing came out of the two films she was in either…” “Oh, does she want to keep acting?” Noah was loud. “No problem! Ava, what film do you want to act in? I’ll pay!” Hannah was delighted but kept the corners of her lips down and said, “Acting’s one thing. But I think our daughter should gain some experience in the company. The media company under the Baker Group is big. There must be a position for Ava? “Sweetheart, I think… Our daughter’s from the Baker family, right? She has to be an award-winning actress, but she must also have a place in the company, right? “It’d be good for you if she worked in the company!” Noah thought about it with knitted brows. “But… My sister said a long time ago that Ava can’t join the company!” “You!” Hannah had already guessed that he would say that but was prepared, so she glared at him and yelled, “Noah Baker, you listen to your sister all the time! You might as well be with her!” “Honey—” “I knew it! You’ve never considered us mother and daughter!” Hannah began to wail and bawl, “Noah Baker, how many grievances and rolled eyes have I suffered marrying you? You used to listen to me, but you cave once your nephew’s back! “If Ava and I are unnecessary in this family, we’ll leave! There must be a place for us in this big world!” Noah quickly went up to pull her back. “Honey, don’t be mad! I… I’m wrong, okay?” Hannah did not turn around and only kept wiping her tears. “Okay!” Noah thought about it. “Ava will work in the company if she wants to!” “Really?” Hannah side-eyed him. “What if Janine doesn’t allow it?” “Easy! I’ll fight her and see if she dares to disagree.” “Sweetheart, you’re the best!” Hannah broke into a smile from her tears and kissed Noah on the cheek. Ava had goosebumps watching and turned away from them with a pout. “Oh, there’s one more thing, sweetheart…” “What is it?” Hannah brought up Trinity swiftly while Noah was happy. “It’s that female director under your sister. She’s here for a course in the headquarters, and I want Ava to meet her!” “No problem!” Noah promised speedily.

welcoming party—it was a trap! Despite that, Cordelia had told her, “Mom, you should attend the party. Grandpa will be there. Even if you hate Aunt Hannah, you have to do grandpa the favor! “Besides, even if it’s a trap, what do you have to be scared of with me and Zephyr around?” Janine smiled and listened to her daughter-in-law, attending the party all dressed up on the day it was held. She was the focal point of the Bakers. Now that there was a pregnant daughter-in-law who was as pretty and as capable as her by her side, the others were more than envious. Hannah, especially, was so close to writing her jealousy on her face. “Mom!” Ava went over and kept her eyes trained on Janine’s side. “You have to help me ask about Ms. Lulham’s film when Aunt Janine comes over!” “Yeah, I know.” Hannah emptied the red wine and had other plans. Be it the company or the film, Noah should be the one bringing it up. As for her… Naturally, she would instigate the relationship between the mother and daughter-in-law first! Hannah wore a smirk and quickly went over when she saw Janine and Cordelia coming over. “Janine, Cordelia!” Cordelia was grabbed by Hannah before she could react. “Oh, Cordelia, it must be hard being pregnant, huh? You feel so much thinner!” “I’m alright.” Cordelia smiled politely. “Thank you for your concern, Aunt Hannah.” “Your belly’s getting big now, and it must be hard to move around, right?” “Not to say hard, just slower than before.” “Ah… Hahaha!” Hannah laughed like she was afraid that others could not hear her. “It’s okay to be slower. Zephyr’s helping you! “I heard that you two are always…
