Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 299

“You…” Janine’s smile was doting. The more she looked at Cordelia, the more she liked her.

Cordelia let her in, and Xyla was shocked to see Janine.

“Mom, she’s here to visit you.”

Xyla was silent for a moment. Seeing that Cordelia was still standing at the side, she told her with a smile, “Go do your shopping. I’ll chat with her for a bit.”

Cordelia pressed her lips and stayed rooted.

“Nothing to worry about!” Xyla waved a hand. “This woman here is my best friend!”

It was only then Cordelia nodded, but she softly told Xyla to hold on to her phone and call her instantly if anything happened before she left.

Janine had a gaze of complicated feelings as she watched Cordelia leave.

“Envious, huh?” Xyla arched her brow, getting up to boil some water for tea and chuckling smugly. “I could tell back at the art exhibition. You’re very envious that I got a daughter!”

Janine rolled her eyes. This woman had not changed—she still had to be better than her in everything! Forget it. She would act like the past and let her have it this time as well.

“Yeah, having a daughter is great.” Janine chortled. “But you’ve got to keep a close eye on your daughter. Don’t let her run into bad people and walk the path you’ve taken!”

“Janine Baker! You—”

‘Why is this woman just the same like old times? Such a sharp tongue!’

The two women stared at each other for a long time with changing emotions on their faces.

“Not long after we had a fallout, I followed my family’s arrangement and got married… Hah, I married the wrong guy. I got a divorce after giving birth to my son. I’ve been living in Chaiseland all this while and came to Centrolis the day before yesterday over some business affairs.”

Xyla looked guilty. “Janine, back then… I know that you were doing it for my sake. You didn’t want me to be with Rowan Irwin because you were worried that I’d suffer a loss.”

“But you still did, didn’t you?” Janine got angry at the mention of the matter. “Rowan Irwin’s only an adopted child, yet he took over the Irwins! Has he looked for you all these years? Does he know you bore two children for him?”

“I did these willingly.” Xyla looked determined. “He didn’t do anything wrong…”

“You’re still defending him!” Janine was furious that she was still so stubborn.

Xyla patted her arm with a smile. “I’m indifferent about these now. The most important item of the Irwins is with me. Rowan passed it to me.”

“What is it?”
