Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 441

Joe clinked glasses with them.

The doors opened at that moment, and the venue quieted abruptly. The chandelier on the hall’s ceiling was the only one making a soft clicking noise.

Cordelia was smiling as she walked toward Joe and Nelly.

Nelly’s expression changed instantly. She was going to lash out, but Joe stopped her discreetly.

“Her status is unlike last time now. We’ll still meet in the future. Hold it in!”

Nelly took a deep breath and looked at Cordelia coldly.

“Why didn’t you tell me about such a joyous occasion today?” Cordelia smiled nonchalantly. “Ms. Tanner, do you still hold a grudge against me?”

“Very funny, Ms. Jenner. That usually happens when people are close. You and I don’t seem to even be friends yet!”

“Oh… people who are close?” Cordelia smiled. “What a coincidence. I brought your best friend here today. It’d be best if you two could resolve any grudges you have in front of everyone!”

“What did you say?” Nelly’s heart dropped.

Joe stepped forward with narrowed eyes. “Ms. Jenner, this is an internal occasion of the Tanner Group. If you’re here to congratulate us sincerely, we welcome you. But if you—”

“Of course, I know that I have no right to intervene with the Tanner Group,” Cordelia said seriously. “But it’s unfortunate that I’m the person in charge of the western suburbs’ project. I have to be careful about who I work with.

“Mr. Tanner, are you really handing the company over to Nelly?”

“Cordelia!” Nelly exploded. “Are you here to cause trouble? Don’t try to oppress me with some person-in-charge status. You think I dare not call security to chase you out?”

As soon as she said that, two lines of people appeared at the door. Each person looked intimidating and held either a steel rod or a machine gun. Their black T-shirts had the word “Thompson” printed on the back.
