Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 34

Cordelia showed Oliver to the meeting room.

The gathered people at the door were gloating.

“Ms. Carmichael just wanted Mr. Jones to say that Cordelia’s ring is made of green glass. Who knew it was an authentic emerald? She even got the client in the end!” someone whispered cheerily. “I suppose she suffered a double loss?”

“Pfft! More like penny-wise but pound-foolish!”

“Haha!”

Karine stood where she was, frozen. Her mind was empty, and she shook from rage.

She walked over quickly and slammed the door. The loud thud echoed.

The people gathered at the door dispersed, but peals of laughter lingered in the office. They were already displeased by her arrogance, but they allowed her behavior since her uncle was a major shareholder.

They were secretly over the moon to see her defeated today.

…

After sending Oliver to the entrance of the company, smiling, Cordelia caressed the ring on her finger softly after saying goodbye.

Was it really an emerald?

She beamed, and two tiny dimples perked on her cheeks as if they contained all of the sweetness of the world in them.

Now that she thought about it carefully, her luck seemed to have improved after marrying Marcus. She was getting more and more sales. Not only that, but he would always appear to help whenever a crisis arose.

The fortune teller had told her that she would bring her husband good luck.

Hah, more like Marcus brought his wife good luck!

She released a long sigh of relief. She would get off work soon, so she thought of making meatballs for Marcus tonight.

However, what welcomed her were Karine’s bloodshot eyes as she turned around.

“Ms. Carmichael.” Cordelia neutrally greeted her.

She heard Karine’s raging mockery coming from behind just as she was going up. “Hah, an emerald! I’m sure you stole it somewhere?”

Cordelia snapped her head back and stared at her. “What did you say?”

“I say, what shady things has a man who has been put behind bars never done?” Karine went on with her mockery. “You have a strong will, Cordelia! Look at you and your husband. One steals things, and the other steals hearts. The two of you are a match made in heaven!”

Cordelia bit her lip while her face turned pale.

Karine scoffed and lifted her eyes to look up on purpose. There was a red light lit on the surveillance camera. It was recording everything that was happening.

She was actually smart. She would always pick somewhere with surveillance cameras every time she triggered Cordelia. In that case, no matter how she crossed the line, Cordelia would not use violence as long as she remained rational.

As soon as she hit her, she would have to stay out of the company forever!
