Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

“Hey, don’t touch it!” Xyla swatted the back of Cordelia’s hand.

“There are only two pieces in the box. I’ll have to make them again if you ruin them!”

“Mom…” Cordelia looked at her in puzzlement. “Why am I bringing this to Elder Mr. Hamerton? I haven’t eaten this that much myself!”

“Silly girl!” Xyla said with a smile, “Back where we come from, this is what we use to show our respect for the elders!”

Zephyr was confused. “For what, mom? So you can wreck the meeting?”

“Rascal!” Janine sped up and went past the yellow right.

“Don’t you know what kind of person your grandfather is? Don’t you know that he insists you and Nelly get married? Now with what happened to the Tanners, he wants to meet Cordelia… I think there must be some conspiracy!

“Zephyr Hamerton, is your grandfather trying to set up a loaded dinner to threaten Cordelia and then help the Tanners rise back up?”
