Married a Secret Billionaire

Ava was pale as she stood there trembling. “Fan Lee, you… Stop assuming unwarranted authority! What did I do to Cordelia just now? I was kind enough to take her shopping, and this is how you slander me!?” “You’re kind?” Fan glared at her. “Ava Baker, have some shame! Don’t make me insult you!” “You…” “Take this woman back!” Fan told the bodyguards in fluent Chaisene. The bodyguards were tall and muscular with big eyes that looked frightening. Zephyr’s men had already cleared the mall, and the sales assistants of the lingerie shop stood close to the wall not daring to move.
