Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 31

Cordelia was stunned. Confused, she looked at Annie.

Annie sighed and whispered next to her ear, “I’ll just lay it out for you. The news has been spread all over the office, saying that you’re married to a thug who was put behind bars…

“They also said that your husband was the one who beat up Jesse yesterday! The stories were vivid, saying that he was often arrested due to fights. He was imprisoned for years and was only released recently.”

Cordelia was not sure whether to laugh or cry. She momentarily fell silent.

Annie was shocked to see her saying nothing. “Are you really married, Cordelia? Is your husband as they described?”

“Yes, I’m married.” Cordelia was honest. “Also, he indeed doesn’t come from a glorious background.”

Annie stepped back when she heard that, staring at Cordelia in disbelief.

“But he treats me well.” Cordelia’s voice was soft, but each word she said was as clear beads falling onto the ground.

“I never planned to hide my marriage from all of you or not tell anyone. There’s no need to hide. Instead, none of you asked. There’s no rule in the company that says it doesn’t hire married individuals, right?”

Annie frowned. “True, but…”

“No matter what, my husband is a nice person.” Cordelia had a calm face. “Perhaps he was put behind bars for fighting in the past, but ever since we got married, he has never done anything like that again. The past is in the past. Hand in hand, we venture into the present and future together.”

Annie looked at her with a smile. If she were Cordelia, perhaps she would not have the same courage.

“If I can be honest, I admire you.” Annie held her hand, realizing there was nothing on her finger.

“You’re married, but why aren’t you wearing a wedding ring? It makes sense that people would misunderstand!”

Cordelia was stunned and lowered her head to look at her hand.

The marriage was rushed. They had not had the time to buy wedding bands. Furthermore, they had not even had a ring exchange ceremony. She had gotten married muddleheaded. As such, she did not care if she had a ring or not.

However, there seemed to be a ring in the sandalwood box that Marcus gave her, right?

A shrill voice suddenly came as she was deep in thought. “Her husband spent half of his life in jail. How would he have money to buy her a ring?”

Cordelia snapped her head back. She saw Karine coming with a few people with a stare that could eat her alive.

“Say, you guys should learn from Cordelia. Her husband was in fights and in jail, he smokes and drinks, but he’s still a good man! Haha!”
