Married a Secret Billionaire

“Who do you think you are!?” Ava muttered under her breath, “You’re just the Bakers’ dog…” “What did you say!?” Trinity suddenly popped out and glared at her. Ava was stunned, turned pale, and flustered. She wanted to explain herself but nothing came out after her lips moved. How could she let Trinity hear her unfiltered thoughts!? Trinity snickered. “Ms. Baker, do you usually speak without any self-respect?” Ava was flustered. Trinity had an androgynous look and felt icy and authoritative when she did not smile. “Since we’re already at this, we might as well be direct and stop hiding things.” Trinity touched the bonsai beside her with a faint smirk. “Do you think I’m stopping you from starring?” “What?” Ava jolted. “This is actually the investor’s request!” Trinity emphasized the word “investor”. “I do the casting, but I can’t disregard the investor’s opinion. Someone is investing a huge amount of money in my film, and the only condition is that you can’t star in any role!” Trinity scoffed when she brushed past Ava and patted her shoulder. “Ava Baker, you should consider who’s actually the Bakers’ dog again!” “You—” Ava nearly choked on herself. As Trinity went back to her studio, she heard Ava shouting in the hallway, “Tell me who’s the investor! Despicable! Shameless!” Trinity scoffed and slammed the door close, while Ava shook and clenched her fists, fingernails stabbing into her flesh. An investor? How many investors could there be in the family? Janine had always been the one overseeing the media company!

Ava bit her lips and dragged herself out of the building. Dark clouds hung heavy in the sky. The air was damp and warm. Melorian had a mild climate and rarely had this kind of weather. Fat droplets of rain fell a while later. There seemed to be hail as well.

It was the weekend, and Cordelia looked thoughtful as she lazed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. For some reason, Ava had been texting her more often these days. Her daily sharing had become motivational quotes and posts. Between the lines, it brimmed with inferiority that was meek and subservient. In addition, she often came to visit and had even gotten on the ground to tie Cordelia’s shoelaces when she could not crouch from her pregnant belly… There was even once when Ava looked at her pitifully. “Cordelia, I heard that you’re very nice to Zephyr’s half-sister… I know that I can’t compare to her, but I’m doing my best to keep you happy… “I’m not asking you to treat me as nice as you treat her, but can you share just a little of your kindness to her with me?” Cordelia frowned and actually felt bad for a moment there. She did not know if it had to do with her pregnancy, but she seemed to be growing softer. She even wondered if she had stepped over the line recalling how she had treated Ava. Therefore, she agreed despite not wanting to go shopping, after Ava pestered her for an hour. “It’s just shopping. Not like I’d be missing a piece of flesh.” Cordelia looked at Zephyr. “Don’t worry, I’ll ask Fan to pick me up.
