Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 600

“Well… I…”

Marcus stammered as he held the phone, not knowing what to answer. Yale had never taught him this!

“Zephyr, what’s wrong?” Cordelia kept up the pressure on the other end of the line and asked intentionally, “Is there someone else beside you?”

When Michelle heard that, she tried snatching the phone, but Marcus glared at her.

“No, no!” Marcus answered in passing, “Uh… I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else. I won’t be home these two days. Take care of yourself.”

Cordelia wanted to laugh upon hearing that.

She sighed softly. “I understand that things get boring when two people are together for too long. Don’t worry. I won’t intervene between you and Ms. Carmichael, but Zephyr, shouldn’t you save me some pride? We’re still husband and wife, and the Hamertons’ pride is involved! Do you know how bad the scandal sounds out there right now?”

Marcus took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Even if he had a hundred brains, he would not expect that from Michelle! She had actually posted their photo on the Internet!

The moment he looked at this woman, he just wanted to have some fun with her. He had never thought about being responsible! It was unexpected that Michelle clung to him, and not only did she expose their relationship, but she even pestered him for resources… as if he had any!

Marcus was growing annoyed by this woman.

“Y-Yes…” He avoided Michelle and replied to Cordelia, “I understand! Uh… you’re my wife. You need to take care of that for me, understand?”

Cordelia was repulsed and snickered. “Don’t worry about it. Of course I’ll take care of it.”

“Mm, that’s good!”

“I’m not forcing you to come home, but there’s a match you must attend!”

Marcus screwed his eyes shut. He did not have Cordelia’s sharp tongue and was unable to get a word out.

“Zephyr, you’re caught now. You have to go,” said Cordelia. “This is charity, so the Hamerton Group prioritizes it very much. I won’t be able to explain it to Grandpa if you don’t go. If he gets angry and pulls back all the fund-merging projects you’ve signed, you’ll have nothing!”

Marcus’ heart dropped.

He was fine with everything else, but if things did happen, like what the girl said and the projects he signed were canceled, Yale would never let him off the hook!

His stand remained the same—he just wanted money. He did not want to lose his life over it.

With things coming to this stage, he contemplated and could only brace himself to agree. “Alright!”
