Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 386

The headlights of the Maybach outside of Royal Manor blinked twice.

Rowan saw Zephyr coming out for Cordelia and taking her back into the house by her hand after saying something to her. A while later, the lights in the living room went out.

Charlie turned back to smile at Rowan. "Mr. Irwin, looks like they've reconciled."

Rowan hummed in response. "The brat's good at coaxing, apparently!"

He sighed and stayed silent in thought before chuckling and keeping his silver needle.

"Charlie, let's go."

"Yes, sir." Charlie started the car. "Mr. Irwin, what do we do next?"

Rowan stayed silent. He would stay longer in Centrolis for this trip-one reason was for the joint collaborative hospital project, and another was simply because he was growing more reluctant to leave.

He was okay with just seeing them from afar. That person... She would be a wound that would never heal.

Charlie read his mind. "Mr. Irwin, I've obtained Ms. Xyla's current address. Do you want to-"

"No," Rowan interrupted him in a low voice.

Even though he wanted to see her like crazy, he was afraid to meet her. He had developed the Irwins into an unprecedented success story over these over 20 years he wanted to make it up to everyone, to his late father, to the shareholders, to the poor people who could not afford to go to the doctors and buy medicine...

The only one he was sorry to... It was Xyla.

Back when Xyla left Southeast Aciatic, he could not forget her. When he found her, she had said that she was already William's woman. She had given birth to a daughter, and he had snuck to Jangasas to see her, only to discover that she was not living as well as she had said she was.

She had said that she had married someone and lived happily after, but he had secretly done a paternity test and found out that Cordelia was his flesh and blood.

That was why over so many years, a sum of money would be transferred to Xyla's account each month.

It was not to William's credit that Cordelia and Carter could grow up smoothly. It was Rowan who had been doing everything in silence...

Rowan closed his eyes. The chaotic past surfaced in his mind. He breathed out a heavy sigh and felt tears wetting his eyes.

After Janine returned from Chaiseland, Mona ran to complain to her only to receive a flat "Oh".

Mona was stunned. Was her teary acting just now... not moving enough?

She probed. "Madam Baker, you-"

"What is it?" Janine tore her eyes off the computer screen and looked at her. "Anything else?"

"Madam Baker, Ms. Cordelia "

"There's nothing wrong with how Cordelia handled it!" Janine answered in a businesslike manner. “Mona, you're a company artist. I didn't sign you to cause me problems! "What you say and how you act must abide by the company rules. Break them and be punished!"

Mona widened her eyes.

Janine snorted and closed her folder. "I actually think that Cordelia's punishment for you was quite light! If I were to act how I would in Chaiseland, you'd be shelved for at least three months!" Mona gasped. What was going on with Madam Baker? Why was she taking Cordelia's side!?

Back when Nelly asked her to sign with Imperial Media, she had clearly said that Janine was her future mother-in-law. The woman was on their side!

From what it looked like now... Janine and Cordelia seemed to be in the same boat instead!

Janine smirked. Although she had never concealed her favor for Cordelia in private, words out there, as per her request, were that she already had her mind set on who her daughter-in-law would be.

The outside world would be the most curious about an ambiguous answer like this. That was why many people speculated that her relationship with Cordelia might not be as close as it seemed.

It made sense. Why would a wealthy mother-in-law like a daughter-in-law without background and support?

They did not know that this was how Janine was protecting Cordelia.
