Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 39

Cordelia walked over slowly from the side, looking calm and composed.

Marcus now understood her intention. She had recorded solid evidence of the bullies, and these high school seniors were already past 16 years old, so they would be legally charged. As long as the video recording was handed to the police and a court case was brought up, these students would have a criminal record for life.

Cordelia looked at them coldly.

“Carter isn’t the only one you guys bully, huh?” She spoke confidently. “I’ve called the police. They’ll investigate it when they’re here.”

Everything was well within her control.

The students were taken away by the police and were interrogated according to the regular procedure. They came clean about their bullying, and the charges went through. The outcome was gratifying.

Cordelia finally avenged Carter.

“Z, your wife’s pretty amazing.” Fredric, who had friends in the police station, heard about the matter and could not help giving a thumbs up.

“She’s more level-headed than you and knows her law. This was excellently executed!”

Marcus chuckled. Cordelia kept surprising him since they got married. It was just that… he contributed too, even if not a merit. He was the one who had beat up the kids, after all.

Based on Cordelia’s character, she would reward him for sure—or prepare a hearty meal for him, at least. However, she did nothing.

He also felt that she was much colder to him these days. She no longer brought up the matter of sleeping in the same room either. Marcus hinted her a few times, and Cordelia should absolutely get it given how smart she was. Yet she acted oblivious and gave various excuses!

The result of it was that he was still sleeping on the couch.

Marcus sighed. His frown was deeply etched on his cold face as he was deep in thought, not even noticing that his cigarette was about to burn him.

“Yo, Z!” Josiah speedily snatched the cigarette.

Marcus was startled before snapping back to reality.

This was Josiah’s first time seeing Marcus in such a trance.

“What are you thinking about?” He waved a hand in front of Marcus. “Oh yeah, news from Centrolis. Hah… Your second uncle told your grandfather to pick a wife for you!”

Marcus’ gaze darkened. He snubbed the cigarette in the ashtray with a stern look.
