Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1656

"Wife?" Cordelia sneered. "Are you and Graham officially married? You intervened while Graham was still engaged to someone else, and even now, you're unofficial. Using the status 'wife' might just invite

ridicule!"

"Mrs. Hamerton-"

"I suddenly remembered." Cordelia's gaze gleamed. "Were you the one by Kelly's side when she fainted?"

"Oh, yes." Sophie smiled. "I was visiting on Graham's behalf. I didn't expect Mrs. Bayer to be so weak."

"What did you tell her before she fainted?" Cordelia questioned.

Sophia was taken aback and lowered her gaze slightly.

"Afraid to tell me, huh?" Cordelia approached her. "Kelly has always maintained her health well, so she shouldn't have fainted so easily. She wouldn't be in the emergency room if she hadn't been deeply distressed.

"You were the only one with her when she fainted, and it's only natural for people to suspect you when your actions seem questionable."

"Aunt Cordelia, please don't..." Graham pulled Sophia behind him and shot her a look to ask her to leave.

Sophia nodded and quickly got out of sight, following the corridor.

It wasn't until Sophia was completely gone that Graham said softly, "Aunt Cordelia, Sophia isn't that kind of person...'

"Graham!" Cordelia finally understood why Josiah had slapped him twice. "Don't you see the truth, even now? Your mother is still inside!"

"Actually, none of this has anything to do with Sophia," Graham licked his lip and explained carefully, "Aunt Cordelia, to be honest, Sophia blames herself. She was just worried about Arya's safety and let it slip in front of my mom. That's why-"

"What did you say?!" Zephyr widened his eyes, huffing a laugh." Graham, you weren't in the room when your mother fainted, am I right?!"

"Sophia told me."

"You..." Zephyr raised his hand but slowly dropped it considering that this was not his son and it was not his place to educate him.

"Graham!" Cordelia was vexed. "You've always been bright. Why do you trust this woman so much that you don't mind upsetting your parents and even risking your sister's life?!"

"No! This has nothing to do with Sophia!" Graham said anxiously, "Dad, Uncle Zephyr, Aunt Cordelia, I've investigated it. Arya's disappearance is related to Fat Lawler."

"What?" Josiah abruptly turned around and grabbed Graham's collar, staring fixedly at his son.

Zephyr and Cordelia exchanged puzzled glances.

"Graham, who is this Fat Lawler?" Cordelia asked. "Does he have any conflicts with your family?"

Graham hesitated before continuing. "Fat Lawler... is someone very close to Daniel."

Josiah couldn't believe his ears-he remained frozen in place.

"Dad, this matter is undoubtedly related to Daniel!" Graham said, looking at his father. "Sophia was involved in a business deal with Fat Lawler before, and they got along quite well. That's why she was able to get information from him. Arya is really with Fat Lawler...

"And Sophia even pleaded with Fat Lawler not to harm Arya. She believes that Fat Lawler was only acting under Daniel's orders! Fat Lawler is seeking a chance to send Arya back safely while keeping it hidder from Daniel!

"Dad, all this has Daniel to be blamed! We should ask Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda to intervene!"

"Wait a moment!" Zephyr's expression darkened. "From what you've just said, all of it is from Sophia... Do you trust her words so much?"

"Exactly!" Cordelia chimed in with a scoff. "If Daniel is really behind this, he's effectively antagonizing the Hamerton and Bayer families and putting Nicholas and Linda in a difficult position. Is he that foolish, or does he no longer want to stay in Centrolis?"

"Graham, use your brain!" Zephyr rolled his eyes. "You haven't personally experienced any of this. How can you discern the truth?"
