Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 315

"You brought Cordelia to meet your mother?" asked Liam.

"Yes," answered Zephyr. "My mom likes her very much."

"Hah!" Matthew snorted. "Zephyr, Ms. Jenner is really something, huh!? What trick did she play that she won over Madam Baker, who's so dominant and picky?" Zephyr's gaze darkened.

His uncle had said this to create an impression that Cordelia was scheming to his grandfather.

Liam was already dissatisfied with Cordelia's family background, and it would be harder to win his acknowledgment with the addition of the label of a scheming woman.

Zephyr took in a deep breath and chortled. "Cordelia does get along very well with my mom. This one, she does better than you!"

"What did you say?" Matthew frowned. "Zephyr, why are you getting me involved?"

"I'm just stating a fact."

Zephyr twirled his pen leisurely. "Uncle Matthew, all these years you've spent with my mom, you don't seem to have received any positive comment?

"Even though she's a little picky, she's a good judge of people. Instead of instigating here, Uncle Matthew, you might as well learn from Cordelia and see how you can get closer to my mom. It'd benefit your future development, no?"

Zephyr's sharp words baffled Matthew.

"You rascal!" Matthew slammed the table and snarled, "Is this how you talk to your elder?"

Liam looked at him unnervingly.

It was only then Matthew realized that he had been too emotional, but he was indignant.

"W-Why should I patch things up with your mother? I don't have a favor to ask for!"

"Really?" Zephyr snickered. "Then how did you fill up the $3,000,000,000 hole on the accounts? Are you sure you didn't use the Baker Group's money?" "Zephyr! You! How dare you check my accounts?"

"As a decent heir, it's of utmost importance to separate work and family. In the Hamerton Group, you're not my uncle. You're only my subordinate. "Should a superior pick a date and ask for the subordinate's permission to check their accounts?"

Matthew was rendered speechless by the retort and sweated profusely.

Liam's authoritative voice rang as he stared at the man sternly. "Matthew, what's the matter with the $3,000,000,000? Explain this!"

Matthew stammered and was unable to answer it.

Mattle Industrial had gotten listed as a shell corporation and raked in lots of wealth on the share market, but it also stirred some controversies. The amount of $3,000,000,000 was to fill up the hole it made the last time.

It was just that, how would he dare tell his old man!?

Matthew grimaced. "Dad, actually, I—"

"This is what you do all the time!" Liam growled and hurled his dragon-head cane toward him.

Liam had been thinking of ways to keep a clear line from the Baker Group, but they now had another $3,000,000,000 to fill! He really wanted to twist Matthew's head off.

"Grandpa, the sum isn't exactly a big number to the Hamerton Group. The western suburbs project can totally take care of it."

"That project?" Liam scoffed. "Matthew and Yale can pull themselves out of it from now on, lest they cause another embarrassment!"
