Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 344

Zephyr was not interested in Neil’s background. He looked indifferent and tossed the spatula on the counter, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. There was an unknown emotion in his eyes.

Nicholas continued. “It’s said that Neil Harris is from Mengasas, and his family has relations with the military of Southeast Aciatic. His accomplishments certainly come from his hard work, but he wouldn’t get popular so fast if he didn’t have support behind him!”

After a long time, Zephyr glanced at him in silence and uttered, “What stupid background is this?”

Nicholas could sense his jealousy from a mile away.

“I just want you to know.” He held back his laugh. “You can only win knowing your enemy! Wouldn’t you have to know him thoroughly to tackle him?”

“Why should I care?” Zephyr scoffed. “I call the shots in Centrolis!”

“Oh, you call the shots? Can Mr. Z Hamerton go buy a packet of cigarettes now?”

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

“I wonder if you can call the shots in this?”

“Nicholas Thompson!” Zephyr growled through gritted teeth.

Nicholas looked like he wanted to laugh but could not bear to laugh at him. He then waved his hand before resuming cutting up some potatoes.

‘Who was unwilling to give me just half a pack of cigarettes back then? Who laughed at me for not having money to buy even a packet of cigarettes?

‘Hah, this was karma!’

Zephyr rolled his eyes hard. “Thompson, careful not to cut your own finger!”

Half a month later…

A black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Splendor Dynasty.

Those who were there tonight were elites of the society. Cordelia took a look through the car window and could already feel the opulence and pressure of such a grand event.

She interlocked her fingers with Zephyr and suddenly felt anxious.

The man seemed to feel her fingers lose warmth as he smiled and said softly, “It’s not your first time attending an event like this. Besides, you’ve met Aunt Cloud. She’s friendly and nice.”

“I know.” Cordelia took a deep breath. “But this is still my first time attending your family event.”

This was a world she had never seen before.

She felt wary, and the feeling clutched her like a vice right now.

Zephyr took her in his arms and pressed a kiss against her hair. He knew what she was worried about and spoke next to her ear. “It’s grand, but the main character is Aunt Cloud. She’s happy knowing that you are coming, so she’s told me to take good care of you.

He looked at her. “Also, my grandfather is not attending tonight.”

“What?” Cordelia was surprised.
