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!”

“Back where we come from?” Cordelia looked at her with widened eyes.

Growing up, she had always thought that Jangasas was her hometown.

Xyla’s face fell upon realizing that she had said too much.

“You… You don’t have to bring it if you don’t want to,” she said softly. “The other presents are quite valuable too. The Hamertons won’t look down on you!”

After saying that, she returned to her room, leaving Cordelia to stay dazed in the living room with furrowed brows for some time.

On the day of the meeting…

Janine, who planned to work overtime, canceled two meetings in a row and stepped on the accelerator to rush to Hamerton Manor, not forgetting to call Zephyr and scold him on the way.

“You brat! Why didn’t you let me know that Cordelia’s meeting the old man today?”

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?”
