Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 521

Nicholas weaved through the crowd to congratulate them with a clap.

"Nicholas, you're here too!" Cordelia greeted with a nod. "Where's Linda?"

"Sigh, your bestie's a workaholic. She's still working in the office now!" Nicholas shook his head with a helpless smile. "Say, Zephyr, has the world changed now? These women are so capable. Are we men waiting to be taken care of?" "That'd be great!" Zephyr smirked with a sly glint. He picked up Cordelia's hand, the diamond ring on it glowing prettily. "See, I've already handed in the deposit." Zephyr was triumphant. "Cordelia will take care of me after this!"

"Yeah, right!" Nicholas looked at him in disdain.

"Right. Time for something else."

The smile on Zephyr's face slowly hardened, and his gaze turned deep and complex.

He was again the cold guy and felt even more oppressive than earlier. It felt like a pressure was weighing the hall down.

Nancy noticed that things did not look good, but before she could grab Michelle and go, they were stopped by a deep voice. "Ms. Carmichael, we have something we haven't cleared up, don't we?"

Michelle froze in her steps and turned around stiffly. She could not help shuddering when she met the man's icy gaze.

Zephyr looked at her coldly. "Someone stopped my wife from entering and boldly claimed that she's the future Mrs. Hamerton?"

"No!" Nancy cried frantically, "You've misunderstood it, Mr. Zephyr. Michelle "

"I'm asking her, not you!"

Nancy dared not speak and stepped back.

Michelle was long consumed by various emotions-jealousy, rage, fear, confusion... They overwhelmed her, and she was stripped of her rationale and thoughts. Zephyr spoke slowly. "Nicholas, I heard that she's your new artist?"

"Uh, yes." Nicholas nodded.

"I don't want to see this artist of yours again!" Zephyr announced in public. "I'll pay you double whatever the amount it takes to break the contract off with her!" Nicholas took a deep breath.

Zephyr's tone was flat, but he could hear the rage burning within. He thought that it was a pity, but it was not something he could not do for a friend.

Besides, the woman must be crazy to offend Cordelia. Did she know that Cordelia was Mrs. Thompson's best friend? The best friend of his wife was his best friend too! Nicholas' expression was nonchalant, and his tone was emotionless.

"lan, heard what Mr. Z said?"

"Yes!"

"Draft the agreement. Break off the contract!"

lan received the order and left straight away.

This was like a stone thrown into the calm lake. The ripples made the hall noisy again.

"Hah, break the contract? If only it's that simple!"

"Yeah, which company dares sign with her now that Mr. Zephyr's spoken? This is like shelving Michelle!"

The award-winning actress chuckled dryly without making any comment. She admired her new crystal manicure and spat, "She deserves it!"

Michelle only felt a loud buzz in her ears and nearly fell to the floor, feeling weak.

How did it come to this...

She had not managed to achieve anything overseas and finally made her debut in Centrolis. Now that her career was starting to look up, was she back to square one just because of one word from Zephyr? No-never! It was not easy for her to get to where she was today. She refused to go back to the hardship of staying in a basement abroad!

Michelle composed herself the best she could and calmed herself down, subconsciously looking for someone in the crowd...
