Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 118

Fredric did not dare to raise his head as he did not want to face Marcus’ piercing gaze.

After a long while of silence, he stammered, “Z, you’re not the true Marcus. You’re just using his identity. Since you’re using his ID card, you also registered your marriage with his ID card.

“So from the perspective of the law, the one who married Cordelia is Marcus, not Zephyr.”

Josiah sprang up and said, “But the real Marcus is dead!”

“Yes…” Fredric’s voice was getting lower and lower as he continued to speak. “So it’s invalid. Because he’s already dead.”

A silence descended in the room.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Marcus, and then they lowered their heads.

Marcus’ face was getting darker and darker with each passing moment.

‘That’s right… Why didn’t I think of it earlier?’

When they were registering their marriage, they were not there. It was the Jenners who did everything for them with their ID cards. The people from the city hall did not check whether the real Marcus was still alive or was already dead either.

Therefore, the name “Zephyr” had never appeared on their marriage certificate.

Marcus pinched the center of his forehead, and the veins on his temples were throbbing.

“Z, but it doesn’t matter either,” Josiah said softly. “We… We just need to find a chance and redo the marriage certificate in secret.”

“Can you use your brain and think? It isn’t something that can be done that easily!” Fredric glared at him.

“Why not?” Josiah replied stubbornly, “Yes, the Hamertons won’t accept Cordelia, but as long as Z likes her, nothing will be a problem!”

Fredric was rendered speechless. He darted a few daggers at him before turning his head back.

Josiah continued. “You don’t know anything, Freddy. It isn’t that easy to find the love of your life. Do you know what the most precious thing in our life is? It’s love!

“Now that Z has finally found the woman of his life, he has to do everything he can to protect her and cherish her— Ugh!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Fredric covered his mouth.

It went without saying that he did not want to separate Marcus and Cordelia either.

But the Hamertons were not that easy to deal with. Nobody knew what they were fully capable of.

What Marcus needed right now was a calm and rational mind. He must not be driven by emotion.

“I’m going home,” said Marcus. He finished the red wine in the glass in one gulp and left the club.

Josiah and Fredric’s words were playing in his mind.

Since he was a kid, he knew that no Hamerton had not any control over their own marriage. If they wanted to get married, then the marriage must be able to bring profit to their family.

Even though his father had abandoned his mother and married another woman, Zennie’s mother came from a prestigious family as well. Her family was even on par with the four large families.

Therefore, he did not have any expectations of his marriage, and he had never tried to get into a relationship before.

That was until he met Cordelia.

Marcus’ eyebrows were tightly knotted, and his mind was a muddled mess right now.

…

Marcus did not know how it happened, but by the time he realized it, he had already arrived at his home. He took one last drag from his cigarette before entering the house. Once he stepped into the house, he was welcomed by the aroma of food.

Cordelia was rushing here and there in the kitchen. When she heard Marcus’ voice, she turned her head around and offered him a sweet smile. After a short while, she carried a bowl of soup out of the kitchen and told him to wash his hands as the dinner was ready.
