Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 502

However, he was in urgent need of the money right now. He could only get money from the Southeast Aciatic account in Xyla’s name.

William bit his lip. It was a risky move.

Who were the Irwins in Southeast Aciatic? They were tough and aggressive. They would not care about the money but they hated being deceived.

If they found out that William had lied to them, for over 20 years no less, he could imagine the consequences.

William paced back and forth in the room with a frown. He recalled what Chad had looked like when he had visited him in jail.

Chad had been wrapped in gauze like a mummy and had actually been helped out by the jail warden while walking. His mental state had not been stable either. He had been a little crazy and he had not been speaking clearly because he had two teeth missing in the front.

William despised him and had been about to turn around when he’d heard Chad mumbling, “Bro… your Cordelia’s d-doing so well now…

“I can’t afford to offend her, no…

“She has… the gangs, Southeast Aciatic, and Zephyr Hamerton behind her!”

William had stood rooted to the spot.

Chad had chuckled in a daze, sounding rather eerie.

“Bro, don’t be too full of yourself. Heh… Your son-in-law is no ex-inmate. That girl’s with Zephyr Hamerton! He’ll come for you…”

Chad had been led back by the jail warden after that.

William had an idea while thinking about this. Cordelia being with Zephyr was not a problem but a blessing for him.

It seemed that Zephyr cared a lot about Cordelia. He would have to step up if William had something to blackmail Cordelia with.

The Jenner Group’s rise back into the business would only take one word from Zephyr.

William cracked a cunning, vicious grin as he thought about it.

Anyway, where would he get leverage over Cordelia?

…

Since the incident with Chad was over, Cordelia and Trinity had swiftly grown close.

Since they had beaten the man up together, they had bonded over battling side by side. In addition, Trinity was the director of the new production Imperial Media had invested in, so Cordelia not only met her a lot for work, but they met often in private as well.

When they met, they, of course, talked about art and creativity.

Both of them had discovered in surprise that their opinions matched in regards to certain art concepts and film publicity points.

Cordelia often sang Trinity’s praises in public and always told Zephyr with a smile, “Trinity’s really like another me in this world!”

Whenever Zephyr saw the two of them video-calling each other or sending voice messages back and forth till late at night, he pursed his lips. Unable to stop them, he could only slump on the couch and stare at Cordelia’s screen with a murderous gaze.

He had not expected Trinity to come after sending Ginger away! It would have been fine, but Trinity was very much like a man.

It was worth mentioning that Trinity had an androgynous charm. She usually wore a lot of biker jackets and leather boots, which made her look cool and suave. She was also a righteous person and she was especially protective of pretty girls—just as Zephyr had imagined.

On the weekend, Cordelia was home practicing yoga and having a video call.

Zephyr, who came to the door and heard the sounds inside, quickly peeked through the door gap. Fortunately, the person on the line was Linda, so his scowl lightened up a little.
