Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 35

Nobody knew why Karine’s cheeks were swollen, and there was even blood at the corner of her lips when she returned that day.

She looked as clumsy as Jesse when he was beaten up the other day.

The smart ones very soon thought of Cordelia when they connected the dots. However, as Cordelia was quite popular, kind, and hardworking, even if she had hit Karine, everyone would assume that the latter had crossed the line.

Given that there was no solid proof, they moved on pretty quickly.

Although no cameras captured the incident, Fredric had seen everything.

He had been running an errand at a nearby law firm. It was quite a scene to see Cordelia slapping someone.

He reported to Marcus instantly. As if he was influenced by Josiah, he had a similar tone when he spoke. “Z, your wife is a spicy little missy. The slaps she served were so precise! She even warned the person that she’d suffer worse consequences if she dared to criticize you again!”

Marcus raised his brow, and a smile appeared on his cold face.

No wonder Cordelia looked a little panicky when she got home the other day. She even asked about the prison sentence for assault…

He had assumed she was not actually scared, yet she braved all she had to protect him.

Marcus felt warm. His eyes softened as he looked at the little lady who was busy working in the kitchen.

He walked in slowly.

Cordelia was fighting a fish.

The fish was dying on the chopping board. She placed the kitchen knife flat and raised it high. Thud! It fell hard. The fish was stunned entirely. She scraped the scales instantly and cut open its belly as its mouth opened and closed slowly.

Marcus chuckled. It was his first time seeing the gory scene of a woman killing a fish, especially a soft woman like Cordelia.
