Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 212

As she expected, William did not sign the share return documents. Instead, he set them aside.

Subsequently, he looked at her with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Cordelia was clueless. She had no idea what he was going to do and say next.

The office fell into an awkward silence. William only lifted his head a long time later, asking her with his rather husky voice. “Are you so eager to cut ties with me?”

She pursed her lips and said nothing.

“Is your mom discharged from the hospital?” His stare was piercing. “Did she tell you that?”

“No,” Cordelia said softly. “I found out about it by chance that we’re not related by blood.

“So I’m returning these to you today…”

Her palms were sweating. She secretly checked out William’s expression.

He sat up straight and asked. “Why are you doing this?”

“Because I’m not a Jenner,” she answered. “These don’t belong to me.”

“Cordelia, you’ve been calling me dad for so many years. I’ve been treating you as my own.”

‘Hah, have you?’ Cordelia secretly scoffed.

When Yelena bullied her, when Joanne humiliated her, when she watched other girls having their fathers by their side while she had nothing…

Where was he, her father?

Cordelia took a deep breath and looked at him calmly. “Mom taught me since young that we shouldn’t take things that don’t belong to us. Too many interests are involved in the company shares. I don’t want them, nor do I want trouble for myself.”

“The shares are my gift to you.” William insisted. “Cordelia, I own the company. I have the right to give the shares to whoever I want!”

“That’s your business, but whether I accept them or not is my business.”

“Cordelia!” William’s voice was fierce.

Cordelia trembled. The suspicion she had was growing.

Who would insist on giving money away?

The only explanation was that she could bring him something that was more valuable than money!

She could not help but breathe faster while her heart was racing.
