Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 219

Zephyr frowned and felt conflicted.

Zennie had grown up sheltered from the world and had been a goody two shoes all along. However, it was easier for girls like this to run into people with ulterior motives.

Zephyr took a deep breath and felt a headache. He spent some quiet time and drove back after a while.

Oliver had been waiting for seven straight days outside a private club in Centrolis. He came every day asking to meet Matthew, standing from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., but the bodyguards outside kept a straight face no matter how hard he tried.

Matthew was annoyed just hearing his name, forget meeting him.

Just when Oliver was growing desperate, the butler came out to inform him, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Yale invites you in.”

Oliver perked up and hurried in instantly.

There was a huge metal cage in the backyard of the club. Before Oliver went close, he could smell a decaying stench in the air. He was alarmed but could only brace himself and continue going. To his surprise, there were two vultures kept in the cage!

Yale was toying with an amber ornament. When he turned to look at Oliver, the latter was shocked by the viciousness in his eyes.

"M-Mr. Yale..." Oliver greeted politely.

The vultures flapped their wings all of a sudden and made ugly cries.

Oliver paled in terror and froze on the spot, not daring to go farther inside.

Yale wore an unsettling smile as he glanced at the man and said, "I heard that you've been standing outside for days, Mr. Jones?

"Hah, these people are bad at hospitality! They should have at least brought you in to look at these two babies of mine!"

As Yale spoke, he put on gloves and pulled two pieces of decaying meat from a bucket at the side. He threw them into the cage, and the vultures flapped their wings to start eating.

Oliver felt chills run down his spine. He knew that rich people liked all sorts of novelty. There were those who kept lions, tigers, pythons, or leopards, but he did not expect Yale to like creatures who preyed specifically on carrion!

"Mr. Jones." Yale turned to look at him after he fed the birds. “Speak up if you have anything to say. My father isn't around, but I'm all ears!"

"No, no. You must be kidding, sir," Oliver replied nervously.

There was no way out now, so he could only keep talking.

"My company's in financial straits recently. There's a $45,000,000 fund gap. Mr. Matthew's been supporting my company all this while, but the funds weren't transferred these two months for some reason..." "Oh!" Yale dragged his word. "You're here to ask for money?"

Oliver lowered his head humbly with a thumping heart.

"$45,000,000..." Yale clapped and scanned Oliver strangely before he sneered.

"Mr. Jones, my father supports your company, but you can't treat us like an ATM, right?"

"Uh... I really have no way out. Mr. Yale, the company will face bankruptcy if $45,000,000 isn't filled in..."

"Mortgage something if you want money!"

Oliver jolted.

Yale then lowered his voice with a smirk. "How much do you think your flesh can be mortgaged for, Mr. Jones? My babies here have never tried human flesh!" Oliver widened his eyes in panic as he slumped onto the floor.

Yale cackled.

"Fun, so fun!

"Jones, do you f*cking think my father's a fool!?" Yale's expression grew savage in the blink of an eye.

The bodyguards around them aimed their guns at Oliver's head, causing the latter to cry out and get on his knees to beg for mercy.

"You b*stard, don't think I don't know what you've done in Jangasas!

"Haven't you gone to Josiah Bayer? Why are you here to pander to the Hamertons!?"

"No, no! Mr. Yale, sir, believe me. I was forced to a corner by Mr. Bayer back then..." "Then ask for money from him!"

Oliver looked agonized as large beads of sweat fell off the side of his face. He wanted to ask Josiah for help too, but the latter ignored him completely. He could only come to Matthew.

It was unexpected that Matthew was aware that Josiah had abducted him and that he was working for the latter. Matthew was on guard against him and stopped investing funds in his company.

The banks were after him for debts daily, and they even brought it to court. Oliver could barely hold out.

Yale scoffed and picked up a piece of decaying flesh to throw it on his face.

Oliver forced back the nausea and crawled up from the floor, gnashing his teeth. He had never thought of seeking support from Josiah nor being loyal to Matthew. He was just a pawn trying to survive in the cracks. He just wanted to profit a little through the company.

Now, however, he could not even guarantee his own survival. Oliver bit his lips. He stood no ground on both sides anyway, so he might as well spill the beans!

"Mr. Yale!" He said, "There's a reason Josiah came to me..."

"Hah, reason?" Yale narrowed his eyes. "Could you actually have value to him?"

"Yes..." Oliver shook, looking at him. "Because I know where Mr. Z Hamerton is. He isn't in Chaiseland. He's in Jangasas!

"I've told Mr. Matthew before, but he didn't care!"

Yale squinted.

"Zephyr Hamerton has been recuperating in Jangasas after the plane crash. For some reason, he took on Marcus' identity and got a wife..."

"Is what you said true?" Yale grabbed his collar. "A word of a lie, and I'll throw you into the cage right now!"

"It's all true! All true!" Oliver's legs were shaking. "I saw the emerald ring on the woman's hand. The pattern on the ring is unique to the Hamertons. I wouldn't see it wrong!"

"So Zephyr really got married?" Yale thought that it was good news from heaven.

"Hah... How dare he defy grandpa's will and simply get married!?"

"This... might require more investigation," Oliver said. "After all, he used Marcus' identity!"

"This won't be hard." Yale stroked his chin in thought and instructed his men, "Contact Nicholas and ask him to come to Centrolis!"

"Mr. Yale!" Oliver scoffed, "You mean Nicholas Thompson?"

"Why? You know him?"

"He betrayed you long ago, and you treat him as your subordinate?"

Yale looked at him in disbelief.

Oliver gulped and said, "I've been in Jangasas, so I see everything clearly.

"Nicholas got acquainted with Zephyr, and both of them are in the same camp!”
