Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 505

Cordelia chuckled dryly and punched him.

"I was on the phone with Josiah." Zephyr began to lie in all seriousness. "He's been doing great with Kelly recently, and the two of them have been looking for social-media-famous shops online every day. They found one again... and asked us to try it with them!"

Cordelia blinked. "Is he serious about Kelly? He better not be interested at the moment and not care about her once the novelty wears off!"

Zephyr smiled softly. "Josiah has a wealthy background and is carefree usually. He could sometimes be flippant too... but I can guarantee that he's one of the rare good men left in this world."

"Oh, didn't expect you to think of him so highly!" Cordelia's eyes were shining playfully. "Then are you going to tell me that you're even more of a good man since your friend's a good man too?"

"Birds of a feather flock together," Zephyr replied seriously. "I wouldn't be humble for the sake of it, and anyone who's my close friend is naturally decent too!"

"Okay, so I've got myself a treasure. Happy?"

"I'm the one who's got himself a treasure." Zephyr held Cordelia's hand with an affectionate smile. The love in his eyes was gooey, just like melted sugar.

He went closer to her ear and said unhurriedly, "The woman who's my wife is naturally... the one and only good woman in this world!"

Cordelia blushed and smiled.

The man's voice was nice, and what he said was nice too. Recently, he'd kept using this nice voice to say nice things to her. Was he trying to kill her with all this sweetness?!

When they had gone back last week, Xyla had complimented her, saying she'd gotten prettier once she'd stepped inside. It had surprised her because she knew Xyla had a high standard and strict conditions for the word "pretty".

It seemed that love was really the best makeup for a woman. When she met the right man, the genuine bliss and unique charm she exuded would liven her up.

"What are you smiling about?" Zephyr looked at her.

Cordelia looked up to meet his deep eyes and chuckled. "I'm just thinking that the heavens have been really nice to us. They let us be together, Linda and Nicholas reconciled, and even Josiah and Kelly became an item!"

Zephyr nodded. Well, she would soon find out that there was also Frederic and Trinity...

Actually, he had been planning it. Trinity was straight but if she acted the part long enough, she might awaken some inner calling. What if she changed her sexual orientation one day? She would seduce Cordelia then!

Zephyr, who had been wanting to set up Seth and Zennie, had immediately decided that he could put off his sister's relationship to make Frederic and Trinity's relationship official!

"Zephyr," Cordelia said softly. "We shouldn't just be happy ourselves. We want the people around us to be happy too! Right?"

"Yes!" Zephyr smiled. He had been about to mention Trinity's crush on Frederic, only for the girl to beat him to it.

"Our friends are all in pairs now, so we can't overlook our elders!"

"Huh?" Zephyr paused.

"I need to arrange for my mom to meet Uncle Irwin again!"

Centrolis had been sunny for days, while there was a light drizzle shower in Jangasas. There were even two hailstorms, and the drop in temperature could take one aback.

William's empty office was pretty much dead. He had caught a cold himself too.

Upon going out today, he had forgotten his umbrella, so he was completely soaked.

He was annoyed going back home too, as he had to step inside, only to see Marcus the freeloader. The latter had been around for over a year, sent here by Yale. No one had said anything about what he should do with Marcus, and the latter had just been placed here.

Initially, Yale used to send him money, but this had stopped later.

Marcus was a true freeloader and only knew how to ask for money. If he did not get what he wanted, he had hundreds of ways to destroy the peace of the Jenners.

Even a sly fox like William could not stand him. As long as Marcus asked for money, he gave it to him, feeling like he was buying his peace.

William had no money now, though, so he could not afford his peace anymore.

He frowned and called Yelena. It took a long time before the girl picked up. When she did, her voice was small and a little shaky.

"Dad, what is it?"

"You're in Centrolis all the time now. Have you forgotten that your home's in Jangasas?" William scolded her as soon as the call connected. "What's Mr. Yale's plan? How long will we be keeping Marcus here?!' "Dad, I... I don't know."

"You useless piece of trash!" William was angry. "Did you not keep Yale happy? Did you anger him?"

"No..."

"Then what does he want?! Are we supposed to feed Marcus forever?"

Yelena stayed quiet, and William heard a low panting sound with some pained moans coming from the speaker. The call was cut very soon. He was furious and he wanted to call back, but he heard a certain someone's drawled snicker.

"Of course you have to feed me forever!"

"You..." William glared at Marcus, who was lying on the couch.

He had no idea how long it had been since the man had taken a shower. He could smell the foul scent on him even from several meters away, and the couch was a mess.

The servants at home had been dismissed, so all this could only be cleaned up by Joanne.

Speaking of her, she came out with a broom and had to restrain herself so she did not break down when she saw the living room, where there was barely a clean spot to stand. William was triggered and grabbed the broom to hit Marcus.

Marcus got up abruptly to fight back and easily shoved William to the wall. As William's back hit the wall, Joanne cried and ran over in tears.

"What did our family do wrong to run into a shameless thug like you!?"

"Hah, wrong?" Marcus sneered, "Aunt Joanne, our families have been friends for generations!"

"Argh!" Joanne growled. "You unlucky man. Are you going to drag us down after causing your entire family to die?"

"Our families have known each other for generations anyway. You have to take care of me!" Marcus glared, looking as though he was going to fight.

Joanne wanted to say something more, but William held her back.

He looked at Marcus quietly. He had the same face as Zephyr, but they were two completely different men. How ironic... He had heard that Matthew and Yale had wanted to train him and make him impersonate Zephyr when they had found him but, hah, how could a mere bug possibly turn into a majestic dragon?

However, something desirable might come out if a mere bug was utilized properly... William had an idea. He had wanted something to hold against Cordelia, and this seemed to be his chance.
