Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 267



Chapter 267

The atmosphere turned awkward.

Everyone stared at the dish in front of them, but no one moved. They all had ulterior motives and were waiting for the show.

As expected, Liam scowled and looked at Matthew sharply.

Zephyr snickered.

When it came to understanding his grandfather, no one in the Hamertons would dare call themselves the first if he claimed the second spot.

Liam hated his own family getting too close to outsiders the most. Matthew had once used the same point to attack Zephyr, claiming that he was closer to his maternal grandfather’s family and stirring Liam’s dissatisfaction.

Zephyr looked at him leisurely with a cryptic smile.

What he did today was just doing unto Matthew what the latter had done to him.

“Z-Zephyr Hamerton!” Matthew stuttered, “W-What n-nonsense are you spewing in front of so many people!?

“Dad, don’t believe him. This kid… Hah, he’s most probably upset and using me to vent!”

“You’d be accusing me now, Uncle Matthew,” Zephyr said unhurriedly. “Grandpa has taught me to respect my elders since I was young, and I’ve always followed his teachings.

“Saying that I’m using you to vent, Uncle Matthew, do you mean that grandpa’s done a poor job teaching me and made me someone disrespectful of my elders?”

“You!” Matthew suffered a great loss and could only glare, flustered.

There were people at the table who could not help laughing.

Liam’s scowl deepened, and he slammed his cutlery down, the porcelain clinking loudly.

Nelly stood up and looked at Zephyr apologetically. She said softly, “I’ve lacked consideration and invited myself today. I didn’t know that it was the Hamerton family’s dinner tonight. It really isn’t quite appropriate.”

“Oh.” Zephyr nodded. “Do you know that it’s a family dinner now, Ms. Tanner?”

“Zephyr, you…” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Hah, third heir, Mr. Zephyr, young, bold, and rude!” Matthew took a sip and recomposed himself. “Ms. Tanner’s our guest. Are you treating a guest this way?”

“Speaking of hospitality, I certainly wouldn’t be as good as you, Uncle Matthew.” Zephyr smiled, wiped his mouth with the napkin, and got up.

“You should welcome Ms. Tanner, then, uncle, since you aren’t exactly an outsider with the Tanners!

“I’ve had my fill, everyone.” Zephyr raked his eyes across everyone calmly. There was a commanding sense even without him being angry. “Enjoy the meal. I’ll take my leave now.”

Nelly quickly chased after him.

Zephyr received a call as he walked to the front. Carter told him in a wronged voice, “Zephyr, I officially received the school’s letter today... They say that they’re canceling my enrollment!”

“What?” Zephyr frowned. “Why?”

Carter sobbed and could not make himself clear.

Zephyr could not help hastening his pace. He was the most worried about Cordelia right now. If Carter’s admission was canceled and he were to return to Jangasas, Cordelia would be worried and might go back with him! All his efforts would be in vain!

He asked firmly, “Carter, where’s your sister?”

“She’s taking care of mom.”

“Wait for me. I’m coming now!”

Zephyr hung up and asked Robert to get the car.

Nelly caught up and asked in concern, “Zephyr, what happened?”

Zephyr halted and snapped his head back.
