Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Cordelia stretched her shoulders and neck. Recently, Zuko had gained a lot of weight and turned into a little chubby

ball. Plus, the little baby who had just learned to walk did not seem to like walking anymore and kept asking to be

carried by his mother.

Every day, Cordelia carried Zuko, who felt as heavy as two bags of flour in her arms, so much so that she had

muscle inflammation in her shoulders.

Zephyr quickly dragged her to sit comfortably on the couch and massaged her shoulders and neck.

Cordelia was not done with what she was saying, though, and continued with the previous topic. “Why don’t I dislike

Alexander? Because he’s really nice.

“The others, like Nelly and Ava, approached you with ulterior motives, but Alexander’s sincere to you.” She looked

up at him and smiled playfully. “Honey, your wife can always tell who’s sincere no matter how silly she is.”

“Oh?” Zephyr smiled and asked deliberately, “How can you tell?”

“Alexander’s sincere to you like how I am to you!” Cordelia blurted.

Zephyr’s heart jolted, and he looked at her tenderly, reaching out to stroke her face.

“Birds of a feather flock together,” Cordelia said softly. “It’s easy to sense your own kind with just one glance. So,

how can those hypocrites like Nelly and Ava compare to Alexander?

“Besides, I’m not afraid of Alexander liking you.” She grinned proudly.

Zephyr was pleased. “Why?”

“Because you’ll always be by my side!” Cordelia turned around to go behind the couch and hugged his neck.

“Because… my husband will never leave me in this life, the next life, and the life after the next!”

Zephyr felt extremely happy. Sweet delight erupted in him. He rubbed her cheek with his thumb and looked at her

with deep affection.

The starlight shone through the window. The atmosphere was perfect.

However, Mr. Z Hamerton perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be carried away by one’s own happiness in the

next second.

“Oh? Never leave you?” He was so happy that he did not know what he was saying. “Darling, you’re pretty

confident! Hahaha…”

Cordelia’s smile froze instantly.

“What do you mean?”

Zephyr suddenly came back to his senses, and a chill ran down his spine.

“Zephyr Hamerton!” Cordelia pushed his hand away. “Explain to me why I can’t be confident!”

“…”

“You think I don’t deserve to be so confident?” Cordelia’s voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Zephyr was stunned. He wanted to cut his own tongue.

“Oh, so you can’t tolerate me now?” Cordelia did not get angry but laughed. “So, you have other plans?”

“Darling!”

Zephyr knew that he had caused a big disaster. Forget kneeling on a pineapple. It would be difficult to appease her

rage even if he lay on a bed of pineapples!

“Cordelia, let me explain—”

“It’s okay. There’s no need to explain it,” Cordelia interrupted calmly with a raise of her hand.

Zephyr swallowed. She seemed calm, but it felt like the calm before the storm to him.

Cordelia sat back on the sofa and casually picked up her phone, calling Rowan with a relaxed tone.

“Dad, have you had dinner? Oh, uh, Zephyr’s not feeling well and needs acupuncture. Can you come over?”

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

Cordelia made another call.

“Neil, how many people are there in the elite squad of the Harrises’ troops? Oh, 300-500? Do they need training?

Heh! Don’t be shy. Your cousin-in-law can help them practice!”

Zephyr was alarmed.

Shortly, Cordelia made a third call. “Hey, Carter, are you still in the lab? Is there no one testing the new medicine

you’re researching? Bring it over to your brother-in-law! He has nothing to do anyway!”

Zephyr rushed into the kitchen, quickly fetched the food that Cordelia had prepared for their son, and hurried

upstairs to be a caring father. The only person who could save him now was his chubby ball, Zuko!

…

Suzanne opened her eyes slowly. Her head felt heavy, and it hurt like needles were prickling it. She looked around.

She was in the palace’s secret chamber, and it was incredibly dark.

In the past, this was the place Victoria eliminated opposing forces for Carmella…

Suzanne shuddered and could not help curling into herself to back away. As she backed into the corner, the cool

wall seemed to have dried blood from before.

The wooden door creaked, and footsteps coming to her rang. Suzanne froze and stared wide-eyed into the

darkness.

“Oh, you’re awake?” Luxurious gold-threaded shoes came to a stop in front of her.

Suzanne looked up. The owner of the shoes smirked, the smile cold and vicious.

“Your Highness…” Suzanne was weak.

Victoria crouched in front of her and grabbed her chin. Her long and sharp nails painted in red pierced into her

flesh.

Suzanne gasped in pain only to hear Victoria’s snicker.

“B*tch, this is the consequence for betraying me!

“Joy’s under Auntie, and I can’t catch her, so… you’ll have to be her scapegoat!”

Victoria hacked a hard cough, and a masked person in black came in with a syringe. Suzanne, who knew what it

was, paled in horror.

“No, no…” She begged on her knees. “Your Highness, pardon me. I… I just lost my rationale, I still want to serve

you!”

Victoria was unfazed. “Inject it into her!”

“No!” Suzanne’s blood-curdling scream echoed in the secret chamber.

Following Victoria’s order, the person in black went forward to hold Suzanne down and aimed the cool syringe

against the vein on her arm. Once it was injected, she would live a life worse than death.

“Your Highness! Your Highness!” Suzanne begged for mercy, wailing. “Your Highness, I was wrong. Don’t do it,

please, Your Highness!”

Victoria smirked icily. Just when the needle was going to pierce through Suzanne’s skin, she suddenly called out,

“Stop!”

The person in black stopped instantly and shoved Suzanne to the ground.

Suzanne shook uncontrollably as she slumped to the ground.

Victoria padded to her and looked down at her. “Do you really want to keep serving me?”
