Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 349

Everyone shifted their gazes to Cordelia.

Zephyr looked at her worriedly and asked Robert to get things done in secret. “Keep the Tanners and negotiate with them. The consequence of the matter must be dispelled. At least they can’t bring it up to my grandfather!”

Robert lowered his voice to say, “But, sir, it’s obvious that Ms. Tanner framed Ms. Cordelia!”

Zephyr gnashed his teeth. “It has already happened. Something needs to be done to appease them first… then get rid of them!”

“Yes, sir.” Robert nodded.

The elder’s voice rang again with a hint of mockery. He looked at Cordelia. “I wonder how you’re going to be responsible for what you did, Ms. Cordelia?”

“I’d like to ask you first.” Cordelia smiled. “How will the Tanners be held responsible if I didn’t hit her?”

“The truth is already clear, and you still want to shirk responsibility?” Joe Tanner raged.

Joe was the one at the helm of the Tanners. He had spent years in the business world, and even his older brother, Murphy, had to be courteous to him.

Joe had a condescending attitude, but this young girl before him had an unusual air and was not timid at all in front of him. He squinted. It seemed that Nelly was no rival against this girl.

He must take the opportunity and chase this woman away from Zephyr’s side!

Joe knew that his daughter had most probably set this up herself, but he had to make a ruckus out of this for the sake of the Tanners’ interests. It must be so huge that it alarmed Liam. The woman could only be officially chased off, and the marriage pact between Nelly and Zephyr could be kept with the old man's appearance.

“You want a clarification?” Joe scoffed. “I’ve seen too many women like you who’d do anything to achieve your goal! You cling to Mr. Zephyr and see our Nelly as an eyesore. Of course you’ll do all you can to pick on her!”

“Firstly, your daughter’s the one who sees me as an eyesore. It’s only out of courtesy that I don’t like her either.” Cordelia smiled. “But even when I don’t like her, do you think I’d be dumb enough to slap her at an occasion like this?

“Besides, if I were really the one who slapped her, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to give her any chance to cry and whine here and attract everyone over.”
