Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 54

“Ms. Jenner, calm down.” Josiah kept his distance from her. “I’m sending you home.”

Cordelia looked outside. This was not the way home!

Actually, Josiah knew all about Michael and Jesse’s conspiracy. The car had just left the hotel. He had to put up an act instead of sending Cordelia home directly. That was why they took a longer way.

In spite of it, Cordelia did not know that! She became more alert and quivered a little. She had already unhooked her bag strap and gripped it tight in her hand.

What she was currently thinking were scenes of women's self-defense. She calmed down and thought carefully. There were three people, including the driver, in this narrow space. Other than her, the other two were strong men. She could not fight them directly.

It was a coincidence that she sat right behind the driver… She pursed her lips, and her big eyes kept up with what Josiah would do closely.

…

Marcus turned his phone as he stepped out of the club.

Robert spoke in a low voice next to his ear. “I have to rush back to Centrolis so that Sir Matthew doesn’t notice. Sir, you…”

“Go ahead.” Marcus narrowed his eyes. “Pretend nothing happened.”

Robert nodded and scanned his surroundings carefully before disappearing into the night.

Marcus pulled out the document Robert showed him, tore it, and threw it into a nearby trash can. There were problematic accounts in the Hamerton Group these years under Matthew. It had to be destroyed, leaving no trace behind after he took a look.

Marcus took a deep breath. He was going to rush home when he felt his phone that was in his pocket vibrate several times continuously. He pulled it out and saw that it was a text from an unsaved number signed off by Annie. Cordelia’s coworker seemed to have the same name.

He continued to scroll, and the few texts after that were from Cordelia.

Marcus’ face fell as an icy glint flashed in his eyes. He quickly turned on his location setting to search for Cordelia.

…

“Ms. Jenner, you really don’t have to be afraid! I’m not a bad guy!” Josiah waved his hands frantically, flustered. He completely understood what it felt like to be on pins and needles.

He just wanted to send Cordelia home safely! But this girl was looking at him with all her thorns bristling like he was an enemy. Her expression was high on guard.

“Don’t come over!” yelled Cordelia.

Josiah was so shocked that he sobered up. He did not even want to go close to her. It was her who clung to the door! It was fortunate that Z was not around. If he were to hear Cordelia’s cry, Josiah did not even know if he would see the next sunrise.

“Ms. Jenner, you… Calm down,” Josiah stammered and forced a smile. “I wouldn’t dare come close to you. S-Sit over a little. I’ll stick to the car door, okay? It’s not safe for you…”
