Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 309

Nelly raised her voice. “This is a tacit understanding between the Hamerton and Tanner elders!”

Cordelia smiled and said gently, “Ms. Tanner, I’m rather ignorant. I don’t quite understand things like ‘tacit understanding’.

“I wonder, if the adults of both families approve and understand each other, and Zephyr doesn’t reject it, why is it ‘tacit’? Since it’s not announced, it means that both families still have reservations about this marriage.

“Or perhaps…” Cordelia said, looking Nelly in the eyes, “Zephyr doesn’t even acknowledge it!”

“You—”

Nelly was flustered.

Cordelia raised her hand to run it through her hair. The big emerald jade ring on her ring finger exuded extraordinary loftiness and affection.

It stung Nelly’s eyes. She was resentful but knew she could not show it on her face, no matter how furious she was.

This was the Bayers’ place. If she got into a fight with Cordelia here, she would be ruining the Tanners’ image.

Zephyr was also here. She could not make him think that she was a crazy woman.

Nelly suppressed the rage and jealousy within her and forced a smile after glaring at Cordelia.

“You have a sharp tongue, Ms. Jenner. It’s no wonder Zephyr likes you. But some things are still pointless even if Zephyr likes them.” She scoffed. “He has the whole Hamerton family behind him. His marriage is tied to the interests of the family!”

Cordelia looked down and stroked the emerald ring on her finger.

“Don’t think that you can decide on his marriage privately and step into the Hamertons just because you exchanged rings. Ms. Jenner, the Hamertons' door isn’t so easy to enter.” Nelly went closer to her and said in a low tone, “But I can see that you like Zephyr a lot, and having someone like you by his side can tie him down. It’s better than him going to some random woman outside.”

Cordelia looked at her coldly. “What are you trying to say?”

On the other side…

Robert walked in front like he was threatened—behind him was Janine.

He dared not turn around because that would make him meet Janine’s unflinching and unnerving eyes.

Who would dare interrupt Mr. Z Hamerton when he was changing? Still, Robert dared not provoke his boss’ birth mother either.

“Hold it in!” growled Janine.

Robert could not hold back and let a chuckle escape, but he quickly clamped his mouth shut.

“Zephyr Hamerton, if you must go to the washroom, I’ll take the girl and look for you there! Make up your mind!”

Janine left after she spoke.

Zephyr glared at her back, his face turning purple from holding back his rage.

“Mr. Zephyr, it’s actually fine to have a quick meeting,” Robert reminded him softly, “Don’t forget that Ms. Jenner’s going to meet Madam Baker tonight. It’s best that you don’t get into a conflict with the queen now. Think of it as doing this for Ms. Jenner. Hurry!”

Zephyr actually shared the same thought. He would meet the girl and make it clear—it was better than dragging it on like this.

“Mm, I’ll go now,” he replied. “Go to Cordelia. Don’t keep her waiting. Take her to the room or get Zennie to keep her company.

“And… she mustn’t know who I’m meeting, understand?”
