Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 310

Cordelia and Nelly stood facing each other. As Cordelia looked at Nelly’s quirked lips, she clenched her hands into fists.

“Ms. Jenner, don’t you understand what I mean?” Nelly snickered. “I won’t stop you from being together with Zephyr. Even when I marry him in the future, I’ll ensure you’re well taken care of. I won’t get jealous, either!

“Heh, things like these are actually common in families like ours. I’ll adapt to it slowly, and I believe that you’ll get used to it too!”

Cordelia bit her lips and took in a deep breath. Nelly might as well just say “mistress”.

Nelly’s smile was vicious as she looked at Cordelia quietly. This woman overestimated herself and humiliated her by talking about exchanging rings the last time. She must not show her any mercy this time!

“Yeah, Nelly’s right!” A brilliant voice rang suddenly.

Nelly’s eyes brightened up. She was all smiles and greeted sweetly, “Auntie!”

Just as she was going to run over, though, Janine moved to the side and refused her hug with a hand. Nelly’s arms were already spread open, so it was awkward as they froze in the air.

She was alarmed when she saw Janine walking toward Cordelia and putting an arm over her shoulder.

“Nelly’s right.” Janine chuckled. “It’s too common for men to have mistresses in families like ours. One isn’t enough. They have to get three or four!”

“Auntie?” Nelly could not figure out what she was trying to say.

“But Nelly, don’t worry.” Janine looked at her. “My Zephyr isn’t someone like this!”

Nelly thought that Janine was taking her side and could not help smiling shyly. However, she saw Janine look lovingly at Cordelia the next second and speak gently. “It’s enough that he has Cordelia!”

“What!?” Nelly was dumbstruck.

Cordelia felt a buzz in her ears as her mind went blank as well. ‘Aunt Janine said… Zephyr? Her Zephyr?

‘Is it Zephyr Hamerton? There could not be a second Zephyr here, could it!?

‘How was this possible? Aunt Janine is Zephyr’s… mother!?’

“Auntie, what do you mean?” Nelly was in disbelief.

Janine was smiling, but it was obvious that the smile was icy and mocking. It was totally unlike when she was smiling at Cordelia.

“Nelly, what’s gotten into you, child? You can’t understand words now?”

“Auntie—”

“I think you were right.” Janine had long had an opinion about Nelly and took the chance to clap back at her. “You really shouldn’t stop Cordelia from being together with Zephyr, nor should you be jealous.

“When they get married, I’ll ensure you’re well taken care of as their mother-in-law. Our Zephyr doesn’t like all such messes, but if you insist on being his mistress, it’s not like it’s impossible.

“But ‘families like ours’ have a lot of rules, and you’ve got to follow them!” Janine grinned. “You have to kneel before Cordelia as part of the ceremony. It’s the duty of a mistress to the lawful wife!”

Janine patted Cordelia’s hand and continued. “You can’t be petty. As long as she kneels, serves you tea, and walks in from the back door, per ceremony, you have to accept her! What do you think?”

Cordelia was stunned. She could not even wrap her head around the situation and stared back dumbly.

Nelly was appalled and pale, shaking with clattering teeth.
