Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 142

“It’s so late at night… There’s still news?”

“Some old news. I’m just browsing out of boredom.”

Cordelia nodded. Still sleepy, she snuggled against him.

As Zephyr held her, he pressed his nose against her long hair, soothed by the faint fragrance. If it were not because of her inconvenience…

He took a deep breath to suppress his urge. These lustful thoughts were becoming more frequent these days,

Cordelia’s voice was pouty. “Darling, I have something to discuss with you.”

“What is it?”

“My dad talked to me, asking me to work at the Jenner Group. He said he’ll pay me three times more than what I make here, so I won’t have to worry about mom’s medical fees.”

Zephyr frowned with a dark gleam in his eyes.

The old sly fox William would never have intentions as pure as they seemed.

“And what do you think?”

“Me?” Cordelia smiled. She was level-headed. “You think my dad would be so nice to ask me back? He’s never acted like a father to me, not even once, all this while. Isn’t it odd that he suddenly asked me to go work at the Jenner Group?”

Zephyr’s frown slowly smoothed out as he smiled. He knew that his wife was smart. She would not be easily fooled or blinded by so-called “familial ties”.

“What my dad loves the most is that insignificant power of his.” Cordelia continued. “Yelena wasn’t too obedient previously, and he has his guard up because of it. Asking me to go back now is only a warning to Yelena so that she knows that there’s another daughter aside from her.

“Perhaps if I think of him worse, that should be…” Cordelia curled herself up and rested her chin on her knees, her big eyes shining. “He wants to watch us fight, Yelena and me. Hah, he just wants to use me to keep Yelena in check.”

There was a pause in Zephyr before he chuckled.
