Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 435

The charity auction on the weekend was grand. Famous people who gathered there were big names in the sphere of art collection.

Cordelia was gradually more familiar with events like this. Perhaps it was the noble blood in her. As she stood among the crowd smiling in a gown, she was as if a glistening pearl.

Janine happily introduced her to her business partners as well.

“This is my daughter-in-law!

“Yes, daughter-in-law!”

The woman’s face was split open with a wide grin throughout the networking.

“I know, right? Got myself a gem! Hahaha… Our Zephyr’s lucky!

“What? Elder Mr. Hamerton doesn’t agree?” She immediately raised her voice, causing the people around them to look over.

Cordelia tugged her discreetly.

Janine did not care, though. She kept her voice raised. “Why does it matter if he agrees or not? Am I, or is he the one choosing a daughter-in-law!? The old man disliked me in the past, and now he wants to dislike my daughter-in-law too?

“I refuse to accept this!”

The auction hall went quieter than the vacuum of outer space.

Cordelia felt warmth gush in her heart and felt like crying, holding Janine’s hand.

Over ten seconds of silence later, people began to whisper comments.

“So… Madam Baker’s getting her message across to Elder Mr. Hamerton indirectly?”

“I think she isn’t taking Ms. Jenner as daughter-in-law because she likes her. It’s because Elder Mr. Hamerton hates her. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. This is still the grudge between the Bakers and the Hamertons!”

“Aren’t you being a little too superficial? Madam Baker’s a smart woman. No matter how big their grudge is, it’s impossible that she’d embarrass him completely. If she really didn’t like Ms. Jenner, she wouldn’t defend her like this.”

“Hmm, makes sense…”

Janine smiled at Cordelia and marched forward in confidence.

“No matter what others say, don’t lower your head,” Janine said with a pat on the back of her hand. “Or your crown will fall!”
