Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 410

Cordelia stood in the center of the banquet hall dressed in a long, cream-yellow, light chiffon dress. She looked graceful and gorgeous, like a fairy fallen to earth.

Everyone’s attention was attracted to her.

The host was dumbstruck for a moment before he recomposed himself and took a cue card from his assistant. He coughed and began to introduce Cordelia with a grin.

“Everyone, you must’ve guessed it.” The host’s voice was sonorous. “This is Ms. Cordelia Jenner. Not only is she the big boss behind the western suburbs’ project, but she’s also the CEO of three listed companies!”

That instant, the guests in the hall seemed frozen, and the whole world felt like it was sucked into a vacuum. There was not a sound or a movement.

After a few seconds of silence, applause erupted in the hall.

Cordelia wore a light smile as she raked her eyes across the guests and paused on Nelly. Zephyr held her hand tightly and exchanged a smile with her.

All the light in the world paled next to her at this moment.

“I have one more thing to announce.” Zephyr’s expression was doting. “After the island I bought is developed, it’ll be Cordelia’s private island.”

People gasped.

“If you wish to visit the island, you’ll have to get the island owner’s permission from now on!”

Cordelia looked at him with a radiant smile and pressed closer to him.

The socialites who still fantasized about Zephyr just now could only watch in envy while Nelly stood amongst the crowd with gritted teeth and a glower.

Cordelia saw how disgruntled she was and approached her.

She greeted her with a smile. “Ms. Tanner, it’s been a while.”

Nelly’s eyes were hateful.

“Okay.” Zephyr chortled. “I got it.”

Cordelia said again, “Oh, Ms. Tanner, I heard that you took a glass of Burgundy for Zephyr just now?

“Heh, he doesn’t drink anymore. But since we’re here, we should still clink glasses with you as the hosts.”

Cordelia gestured for the server as she spoke, and tea was served.

“Ms. Tanner, we’ll use tea in place of wine. What do you think? This tea’s excellent, and I think it matches you very well!”

There were talks around them, and Nelly was caught in such an awkward spot that the others felt embarrassed watching her.

A few of the project partners thus came to Cordelia in an attempt to mediate the situation.

Cordelia wore a smile and a clear head, facing the pandering of these people. Her hand stayed in Zephyr’s palm, his large palm and warmth providing her with immense courage.
