Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 271

Nelly’s gaze flickered with viciousness when she saw Cordelia. She looked natural again swiftly and approached them with a smile, greeting openly, “Mr. Z!”

Cordelia’s heart squeezed, and she looked at Zephyr instinctively. A woman’s sixth sense was always sharp.

“Heh, Mr. Z!” Nelly stood before them and scanned Cordelia. “This is Ms. Jenner?”

Cordelia nodded politely as a greeting.

Zephyr did not look great. His brows were scrunched as he asked icily, “What are you doing here?”

“Grandpa’s asking for you!” Nelly emphasized on purpose, “He knew that Robert wouldn’t be able to persuade you, so he could only send me!”

Cordelia’s gaze dimmed.

Robert was Zephyr’s subordinate and the most reliable person around the latter. He could not do it, but this woman could? Why must the Hamerton patriarch send her specifically?

What she implied was simply that her status in the Hamertons and even Zephyr’s heart was extraordinary.

Cordelia chuckled. She could feel that the woman had not come with kind intentions the moment she got out of the car. She had the full picture now.

Nelly approached Zephyr. “Zephyr, let’s hurry back. Don’t keep grandpa waiting!

“Oh, right.” She looked at Cordelia and said with a smile, “Did you run into some trouble, Ms. Jenner? Why else would Zephyr be in such a hurry that he left the family dinner and rushed off?”

“Really?” Cordelia glanced at Zephyr and tugged his sleeve discreetly to pull him toward her.

“I’m sorry. Hurry back!”

“Hah, Ms. Jenner.” Nelly glanced at her. “If you encounter any trouble, you don’t actually have to make Zephyr rush all the way here. It’s the same telling me! I’ll do my best to help.”

Cordelia replied indifferently, “Mm, thank you.”

“You’re welcome! I grew up together with Zephyr. His friends are my friends!”

Zephyr frowned, and his expression darkened completely. He was going to say something when Cordelia held him back. She hooked arms with him gently and stayed next to him with a tender smile.

“You’re wrong, miss.” Cordelia spoke calmly. “I’m not his friend.”

“What?” Nelly was confused. “Ms. Jenner, you…”

“Zephyr and I have exchanged rings.” Cordelia’s eyes were beaming as she said clearly, “What do you think we are?”

Nelly’s face went pale, and she could not get out even a word.

Zephyr was surprised but gleeful. He took the chance and hugged Cordelia.

“Alright, hurry back. Don’t worry about me.” Cordelia turned to tidy his tie, her big eyes sparkling like the stars.

“Mm, okay.” He smiled at her.

“Oh yeah, I saw a pair of leather shoes. Let’s go try it when you’re free. It'll match your suit if you have a family dinner or some other event again!”

Zephyr nodded.

Soon, Robert drove the car to the junction outside.

Zephyr sent Cordelia upstairs and watched her enter before slowly walking out. Even when he brushed past Nelly, he did not look at her, treating her like air.

Nelly froze, unable to do anything. She stomped her foot, and her delicately face twisted in resentment.
