Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 254

"What is it?" Cordelia was surprised.

Zephyr held her hand gently.

"You have to end your marriage with Marcus Grist right away." He looked at her. "You don't have to worry about this. I know how to go about it.

"There's one more thing..." He smiled. "Please take over the project on the western suburbs of Centrolis, Ms. Cordelia Jenner. Let the land unleash higher commercial value!" "What?" Cordelia shook her head quickly. "No way, I don't know anything!"

"No one knows everything naturally," Zephyr said softly. "Learn while you're at it. You'll grow fast."

"But-"

He said clearly, "Cordelia, you can do it."

Cordelia bit her lips and looked down.

It felt strange. Perhaps it was her inferiority complex. She felt like this was what he bestowed.

In spite of it, when he was not yet Zephyr, she had not felt this way at all, even when he gave her the family heirloom, his salary bankcard, the cafe...

Cordelia quietly pulled her hand out of his with a sullen look.

"Cordelia, I don't mean anything else..." Zephyr noticed that she did not look quite right and was going to explain it when his phone rang.

Cordelia took a glance at him and got up to take care of Xyla back in the room.

Zephyr picked it up. Nicholas was on the other end of the line. "I got you the people you wanted. They're at my place."

"Mm, thanks," Zephyr replied in a deep tone.

"Right. Do these people have grudges against you?" Nicholas snickered. "What do you want to do to them? I have all sorts of torture devices here. Should I carry on for you first?"

"No. I just want them to do one thing."

Zephyr ended the call.

Before he went to Nicholas, he returned to their rented home and found the marriage certificates in the cabinet. He chuckled lightly and grabbed them. When he was going to leave, though, he caught a glimpse of the carved wooden box on the side.

The copper lock looked intricate and most probably could not be unlocked with regular keys. What was it that William had his eyes on for so long?

Zephyr frowned, numerous thoughts flashing in his mind. It was just that he did not have the time to mull over them, as it was crucial he got what he wanted to be done.

He closed the door and rushed to Euforia.

Nicholas had brought all the people into a dark room.

Those people crouched on the floor with hands over their heads. When they occasionally looked up and saw the aggressive thugs with blank faces, they were scared upon meeting their gazes.

Nicholas watched from the surveillance monitors with his legs crossed and back against the chair. He sipped on the whisky when someone brought Zephyr to him.

"Want some?" He poured Zephyr a glass of whisky as well.

Zephyr shook his head and looked at the screen.

"It's these guys, right?"

"Mm, yeah. Great line-up on my side, huh?"

Zephyr looked at him and answered weakly, "These are just employees at the city hall. I asked you to 'invite' them over. This is a little too much."

"Well, you weren't this calm when you called me!" retorted Nicholas. "Weren't you fuming back then?"

Zephyr chuckled. He had been concerned about the marriage certificates, so he investigated how the marriage was registered back then and discovered that these employees were problematic in the end. That was why he had asked Nicholas for help and "invited" them over.
