Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 490

The meeting came to an end very soon.

Cordelia took a deep breath and suddenly felt a strange gaze following her. She looked around and met Chad’s smirking gaze.

She was instantly unnerved.

Chad smiled at her. Out of courtesy, she forced a smile back and left hurriedly with her documents.

“Cordelia Jenner…” Chad sat on the chair as he watched her leave, looking like he did not have enough of it.

As expected of Imperial Media, it was really a place of talented individuals. The female celebrities were gorgeous in their own way, but none was as captivating as Cordelia was to Chad.

He had been shooting for so many years, so he had seen plenty of beautiful women, but he had never come across someone like Cordelia, who had delicate features and a faint distant sense to her.

She was cold and elegant when she did not smile, yet she felt like the gentle winter sun when she did.

Chad also found her name incredibly familiar.

After asking around, he discovered that she was also from Jangasas. It was only then he suddenly recalled that William seemed to have two daughters, and one of them had the same name.

He made a call somewhere vacant as soon as he left the building.

Chad smiled, his features squeezed together. “William, how have you been doing?”

“Oh, the famous director has time to call me?”

Chad chuckled. He and William were old friends. Before he became famous, it was thanks to William’s investments that he could shoot the films. Even when they were not played in cinemas, he had earned a good amount on some rated websites.

Chad had never contacted William after getting famous, and the latter had once called him ungrateful. Now that he was calling William again, he could hear the obvious mockery in the latter’s voice.

William was irritated. Cordelia was not his daughter, and he knew about it a long time ago. It was just that he had been coveting the medical formulas Xyla had, and there would be a sum of money transferred from Southeast Aciatic to Xyla’s account every month throughout these 20-something years.

William was greedy. While Cordelia was young and Xyla was ill, he claimed the money as his own. When the money came from Southeast Aciatic each month, he would leave a small portion to Cordelia and Xyla—as long as they would not starve to death—and the rest would go to his pocket.

The money and medical formulas he coveted were the reasons he refused to back off from Xyla all these years.

It was just that he did not expect Xyla to get better and that the one Cordelia had married was not Marcus but the Hamerton heir in Centrolis!

His own daughter was also connected to the Hamertons, but she was just Yale’s plaything.

It felt like a thorn in William’s heart. His arrogance and pride made him run deeper into a dead alley. He could never tell Chad the truth.

“Oh, yeah!” William went along with what Chad said, “Cordelia’s my illegitimate daughter. Why? Have you met her?”
