Married a Secret Billionaire

Cordelia did not stop there. Since she had offended Hannah, she might as well go all the way. She looked at Janine and said softly, “Mom, I think this family doesn’t seem to welcome me very much… Rather than being gossiped about here, I’ll just go back to my parents!” Janine was inwardly in glee. When did her daughter-in-law pick up her skill of backing down for an attack? In that case, she must not waste her effort! The mother and daughter-in-law exchanged a look and immediately understood the next scene of the show. Before Janine could get herself into it, though, a deep voice rang. “Who’s going back to her parents?” Cordelia jolted. It went silent instantly as a sense of pressure weighed down on them. The crowd automatically parted to two sides to make a path for the Baker patriarch, Franklin Baker. His hair was white, and he wore a gray checkered suit with a fedora. He was old, but the confidence and presence he commanded could still intimidate everyone. Cordelia was anxious and lowered her eyes. Hannah scurried forward. She was fretting about how she would turn the tables around and here came the old man! “Ah, dad!” She greeted him warmly. “Don’t blame Cordelia! She’s young and ignorant, wanting to go back to her parents over something small. I’ve been there, I understand! “We’re throwing Janine a welcome back party today. Don’t get mad, dad!” Janine glared at her. How dare Hannah frame her!? She was going to say something when Franklin asked with a smile, “Huh, do I look angry?” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates… “Dad?” The old man made his way to Cordelia with a loving smile and patted her head. “And when did I say I’m blaming our Cordelia? Hmm?” Cordelia looked up to meet the friendly gaze of Zephyr’s maternal grandfather. The old man did not blame her. Instead, he stood before her with a straightened back and coughed. He scanned the crowd and paused his gaze on Hannah.

and I’ll chase this mother and daughter out of the Bakers!” Noah stammered and sweated. Ava held Hannah’s arm. Both of them shrank back into themselves, not daring to lift up their heads. Franklin’s presence was commanding. “Do you think I’m deaf and blind because I’ve gotten old? I heard everything you said just now! “Hannah Johnson, do you think I’d tolerate you till now if it weren’t for Noah!? Not only aren’t you grateful, but you’re even bullying my granddaughter-in-law now! “What? Are you planning to drive Cordelia back to her parents, break her and Zephyr up, then kick me out!?” “Dad…” Hannah shook in fear that even her tone changed. “Dad, what are you talking about? I wouldn’t dare—” “Heh! What wouldn’t you dare?” Franklin was sharp. “You wouldn’t dare try anything with me, but you dare to goad my son and make him kick up a fuss and ask money from his family over and over again!” Hannah’s eyes turned red. It was like she was thrown into an ice pit as she felt chilled to the core. Ava did not even dare make a sound. “That’s right, I’m favoring my daughter and her son. So what? My money and my company, I give them to whoever I want!” Franklin snorted. “Not only am I favoring them, but I’m also biased toward my granddaughter-in-law and the baby in her womb! “Anyone who lays a finger on them is against me!” Franklin’s cane hit the ground loudly while the people surrounding him listened with bated breaths lest they were caught in his rage.
