Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 207

The other end of the line went silent for a bit before the girl's soft voice was heard.

"I love you too."

Cordelia's heart thumped. Her cheeks felt like they were burning. She quickly hung up after what she said. Holding her phone in a daze, she giggled after a while.

Both of them had never officially said things like "I love you" despite being married for so long.

Cordelia stretched. She felt like she was on cloud nine. That man was definitely going to be in her dream again tonight.

Zephyr was going to ask Robert to pick him up after he ended the call, but he heard someone behind him.

"Is that Ms. Jenner?"

Alarmed, he turned around abruptly with an icy gaze.

"Why are you still here!?"

"Zephyr..." Nelly paused and backtracked. "Mr. Hamerton, you and Ms. Jenner aren't going to work out in the long term..."

Zephyr snarled, "What's between her and I have nothing to do with you!"

"But it does with the Hamertons."

"You aren't a Hamerton. Why worry so much?"

Nelly trembled. Jealousy burned bright within her, devouring her pride and rationality.

She more or less had heard Zephyr and Liam's fight in the study earlier, and Zephyr's rare tenderness when he was on the phone made it disbelieving that he was the third Hamerton heir who had always been aloof and arrogant.

Their marriage that would tie the Hamertons and the Tanners together was already a tacit agreement, and she had always acted like she was the daughter-in-law of the Hamertons. Why... Why was there a Cordelia Jenner out of the blue!?

Nelly took a deep breath and balled her hands. She tried her best to plaster on a natural smile.

"Mr. Hamerton, I'm not worried about the Hamertons but you.

"Ms. Jenner doesn't know about your identity yet, but once it's exposed, your identity will frighten her.

"Will she tell you goodnight so sweetly by then? Perhaps. But could you be sure that her goodnight is because she loves you-or she's scared of you?"

The silver moonlight bounced off the hard lines of Zephyr's face. It illuminated his vice grip of fists and the popped veins on the back of his hands.

"Mr. Hamerton..." Nelly took a step closer.

Seeing that the man did not react, she thought that what she said might have worked, so she grew bolder and called softly, "Zephyr...

"Zephyr." She did her best to show that she was the first wife. "If you trust me, I can talk to Ms. Jenner. I can at least ensure that she won't be afraid of you after discovering your identity and can stay with you!" "I don't believe you," Zephyr replied impassively.

"Zephyr, you-"

"Nelly Tanner, consider this a warning." he enunciated each word clearly. "If you dare approach her, I'll destroy you Tanners no matter the price, even if I have to go down together!

"Don't think that I can't do it. And don't think that you Tanners are really that powerful that no one dares lay a finger on.

"Others in the Hamertons might hesitate but not me! The rise and fall of the Tanners is in your hands. If you don't want your whole family to go down with you, stay in your lane, and don't be thinking what you shouldn't be!"

Zephyr's presence felt like a grim reaper from hell.

Nelly took two steps back and looked at him fearfully with quivering lips.

The Tanners were no weaker than the Hamertons. They might be on par, even. Despite that, she, the heiress of the Tanners, noble and well-born, was being warned and humiliated by Zephyr over a cheap woman!

Nelly was furious and scared. She dared not say a word to Zephyr and could only stand there stiffly.

Zephyr got into the car and zoomed off as Robert drove over.

Nelly was burning with rage, so she screamed with all her might, "Ahh!"
