Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 268

Nelly could not help but shudder upon meeting his deep, sharp eyes.

“Z-Zephyr…” Nelly chuckled dryly. “I’m just concerned. You look like you’re in a hurry…”

“Just something small,” Zephyr replied coldly. “Nothing of your concern.”

“Do I annoy you that much?” Nelly bit her lips. “The Tanner Group and the Hamerton Group will have plenty of business dealings. We—”

“You don’t have to worry about this. I make a clear distinction between work and private life.” His tone was indifferent. “Meet me in my office if you have anything related to work.”

Nelly thought that he had softened toward her and agreed happily, “Mm!”

Robert drove the car over.

Zephyr was going to get in when he realized that Nelly was following him. He frowned and looked at her with a blank face. “Ms. Tanner, I told you that I separate work and private affairs clearly.”

Nelly froze.

“I’m going to take care of some private affair right now!” He emphasized. “There’s no need for you to come along!”

Zephyr got into the car and sped off after that.

Nelly was left on the spot. As she watched the car vanish in her sight, she clenched her fists and looked resentful. She did not have to guess to know that it must be that b*tch Cordelia who had made the call just now!

She spent some time in silence and pulled her phone out to make a call.

“Uncle, it’s me… Yes, how’s it going with Carter’s admission?” Nelly tried her best to lower her voice. “What? Hah, his admission is really canceled? Good, that’s great!”

The other end of the line answered with a smile, “Yes, it’s true. You can show yourself, and I’ll get someone to recover the kid’s admission. Mr. Zephyr will be grateful to you then!”

Nelly grinned triumphantly.

…

Zephyr rushed to Cordelia’s place through the night.

Carter was packing up, looking sullen. The admission letter fell off when he packed his books, and he looked at it for a long time, his eyes getting red.

“Carter didn’t make it clear in the call.” Zephyr looked at Cordelia. “What actually happened?”

Cordelia was moved upon seeing how he was sweating from the hurry. She pulled him inside and poured him a glass of water first.

“He’s been going to classes fine this one month,” Cordelia said softly. “For some reason, the school suddenly informed him that they would cancel his admission today.

“They said that there’s a strict age limit for medical students. Carter enrolled skipping grades and doesn’t match the age limit, and…”

Cordelia paused before she continued to speak. “They suspect that his results are forged!”

Zephyr paused with furrowed brows.

The University of Centrolis was a famous school with centuries of history. It was renowned internationally as well. Students were admitted based on their results and character, and the

university had never set a limit to their age!

“I didn’t forge them!” Carter was emotional. “I sat for the tests several times, and there were supervising teachers each time. There’s no way I can cheat! Even if they ask me to sit for the tests again, I’m confident that I'll still rank first!”

“Alright, calm down.” Cordelia hurried to comfort her brother. “This is really odd. But there’ll be a solution. Don’t worry!”

Zephyr squinted as a few possibilities flashed in his mind.

Carter was enrolled based on his talent and intelligence. There must be someone behind this sudden cancelation of his admission. This person must be targeting Cordelia, which meant that they were targeting him…

Zephyr gave it a thought and asked, “Who informed you?” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“The school called. I have the number on my phone!” answered Carter.

“Mm, give me the number.”
