Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 507

Joanne's shrill cries rang in the house again.

Marcus found it lame and dusted his hands with a clap. He pulled William's wallet out of the latter's pocket and left.

If there was no meal at home, he would go eat at a restaurant!

After Marcus left, Joanne sat on the floor in a daze for a very long time with despair brimming in her eyes.

William groaned and moaned as he struggled to get off the floor and then limped into the study. He felt in his pocket-luckily, Marcus only wanted money and had not taken his phone. There was not much money left in his wallet, and on his phone were the last of his savings.

Joanne's aggrieved cries could be heard from the living room.

William sighed and dialed a number. It rang for a long time without being picked up. Just as he was about to hang up, a sinister voice said, "Mr. Jenner?"

"Hah, you remember me?" William could hear the mockery in the words but he did not have time for that, so he asked directly, "Phil Nelson, when are you taking Marcus away?"

"Well, I'm still waiting for Mr. Yale's instructions."

"Did Yale Hamerton forget about this?"

"Mr. Jenner, patience!" Phil cackled. "Your daughter's warming Mr. Yale's bed anyway. What's there for you to be worried about?!"

"You..."

William nearly choked on his anger.

"Phil Nelson, get rid of this bad luck right now! I can't take it any longer!"

Phil stayed quiet on the other end, but William felt goosebumps in that short moment of silence. He could even feel the chilliness in Phil's breathing.

"Mr. Jenner, you just need a sum of money to build Jenner Group back up, don't you?" Phil said slowly. "I'm afraid no one can help you with this other than your daughter Cordelia!" "I know, but..."

"But this requires cooperation from all of us." Phil snickered. "Hold out for a few more days. I'll ask Marcus to get back, but you've got to work well with him to put up a good show for Zephyr!"

Imperial Media's new film was in production, and every day was hectic for Cordelia.

She finally got some time off today and rested at home for half the day. Since she did not have to take care of Ginger now, she felt much freer at home.

The afternoon autumn sun was warm, and it felt like a long time since she had enjoyed a moment of peace like this.

As she sat on the swing, swinging gently in the front yard, the motion almost lulled her to sleep... only for her ringing phone to startle her awake. Cordelia was in a daze before she saw that it was Linda calling her and answered it. Right away, Linda cried, "Cordelia, something happened!"

She jolted, thinking that it had something to do with their new production, and nearly bounced off the swing.

"Cordelia... you must remain calm!" Linda paused and said, "Did you know that Zephyr has someone he still loves but never got together with?"

Cordelia froze. She had never heard of something like this. Besides, she and Zephyr were honest with each other. They had agreed not to keep anything from each other a long time ago. What was up with this then?

"Here's the deal." Linda began to tell the whole story. "Nicholas got a call at home the other day and hurried out. I thought that some b*tch was seducing him again...

"Of course, Nicholas wouldn't be seduced. But I was afraid of something like Mona happening again, so I followed him in secret...

"When I got to the car, guess who I saw? Zephyr and Josiah!

"Cordelia, the three of them went into a booth and I eavesdropped outside. Then... Then, I heard about the person he longed for!"
