Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 265

Zephyr was stunned. “What did you say?”

“Will you help me?”

‘Of course, I will!’ he screamed inside.

However, he remained calm on the surface. He coughed and said in a deep voice, “Why are you asking for my help out of nowhere?”

“Because…” Cordelia paused. “Apart from my own hard work, I’ll have to make use of all of the resources I have to achieve something, am I right?”

Zephyr was quite surprised.

His lecturer had said the same thing in the first class of the business school. The right time, right place, and right people would determine one’s success.

Cordelia looked at him with her big eyes and smiled. “I’m trying to interview the best actor! Given my status, I’m afraid that even his assistant will look down on me. This is certainly a mission impossible. Everyone is waiting to make fun of me.

“However, I have an omnipotent superman with me…”

She stretched her arms and squeezed his face. She was so sweet when she smiled.

“If this superman can lend me a little bit of his superpower to do my job, I’ll be so grateful!”

“What will you do?”

“Don’t you need a pair of leather shoes?” She blinked. “I’ll buy you the best one!”

“That’s all?”

“And…” She looked down and pursed her lips. “I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”

Zephyr’s heart melted. He held her hand and looked at her gently with an alluring look on his face. He whispered into her ear, “Roger that.”

He was getting his phone out as he spoke.

Cordelia stopped him instantly and smiled. “You don’t have to call anyone right away. Let me try first. If nothing works, I’ll have to get help from Mr. Hamerton!”

Zephyr pulled her into his embrace while smiling.

He recalled what that old fortune teller had said. She had said that Cordelia had the life of an empress and that she was destined to prosper.

In reality, given her intelligence, she would give herself happiness no matter who she married. She was the queen who ruled her own destiny.

Zephyr hugged her tightly. He did not want to let go of her at all.

…

The Hamerton Manor was brightly lit at night, like a dazzling pearl mounted among the mountains.

Zennie removed herself from entertaining. She could finally breathe. She saw Zephyr walking to her with a glass of champagne.

“Perfect timing!” She grabbed the champagne and downed it. “Ah… I’m so thirsty!”

He frowned and thought it was funny. “What happened?”

Zennie lowered her voice. “Brother, why haven’t I met any of these weird relatives before?”

Zephyr looked over. Many people from different families were there. Although they were all Hamertons, it made sense that they had never met.

He did not even understand the connection and seniority of some of them, let alone Zennie.

“I don’t know many of them either,” he whispered. “I’ve only met some at the company.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Family dinners like this are boring!” The little girl complained, “I’m gonna be so tired of faking smiles tonight!”

“Just bear with it. It’ll be over soon.”

“I’m hungry, brother. I want to eat the chicken chop Cordelia makes!”

Zephyr pursed his lips. He wanted to eat that too, but he would have to be firm as he was the elder one.

“Eat? All you know is eat!” He stared at her. “I’m warning you. Although she’s in Centrolis now, don’t you dare go to her just to eat for free. You hear me?”

“Hey, you…”

“What!?” He stared at her again. “She cooks for me. You won’t have a share of it!”

Zennie pouted and rolled her eyes at him.

Uncle Clark walked from not far away and said while smiling. “Sir, Miss, it’s time to go to your table!”

Zennie walked forward while holding her dress. She slammed into Zephyr and made a silly face at him.
