Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

“Z…”

Frederic’s throat constricted. He was usually good in words but could only break out in cold sweat in front of Zephyr

now. Moreover, he had never seen Zephyr so stern.

“It’s not wrong to like a person, but you’ve got to know what kind of person it is you like!” Zephyr said sternly, “You

can only determine if it’s worthy to love a person when you know them for who they truly are!”

“Z.” Frederic chuckled and emptied his wine. “Did you decide to love Cordelia after you got to know her for how she

is? No! I can bet that you liked her at first sight!”

Zephyr’s gaze darkened. “What are you trying to say?”

Frederic did not answer but poured himself another glass.

“Cordelia’s not like that woman!” Zephyr’s voice was cold. “Don’t compare the two of them!”

“What?” Frederic scoffed, taking advantage of his tipsy state. “Your girl’s the apple of your eye, and the one I like is

worthless?”

“You—”

This dumb*ss! If Michelle truly cared about him, she would have gotten together with him a long time ago and not

kept him hanging for years!

It was so obvious that the woman was using him, and he stayed stubborn.

“She’ll like me…” Frederic took the bottle and gulped it down.

He had never drunk like this. He was a lawyer and had to constantly keep his cool and be alert. Today, however, he

lost his composure.

Zephyr looked at him, heaved a heavy sigh, and left the room.

Frederic was the last one to leave the bar. It was already late into the night, and he had drunk a lot, so he

staggered a little while he walked.

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time he had let himself go like this since growing up.

The Constables were a famous scholarly family in Centrolis, and his family was strict in educating him.

Before Frederic graduated from university, he had never had a sip of alcohol. It was after he started working and

had to socialize that he took sips here and there.

Relationships-wise, he was a piece of blank paper. With how strict his family was, he was forbidden from dating too

early. Michelle was like a shine of light to him, a fantasy in his youth.

It was not that Frederic did not know about Michelle’s attitude toward him. It was just that he had never lost

growing up. He had good grades and a smooth career. Everything came easy to him.

That was why he could not lose… not even when it was difficult.

Frederic shook his head and took the steps down toward the car park. His substitute driver was already there. He

passed the car key to the substitute driver, but the latter had never driven such a nice car and actually cut the

engine off after tinkering with it.

The substitute driver turned to him in embarrassment. “Sir, I’m so sorry.”

Frederic sighed helplessly. He waved to dismiss the serviceman and hesitated to call his assistant when a sports car

skidded to a brake in front of him.

The headlights were so bright that he could barely open his eyes.

It was when the car door opened that he saw the person coming to him with a smile was Yale.

“Oh, Mr. Constable!” Yale went over to pat his car. “What? Car broke down? Come on. I’ll give you a ride home!”

“No thanks, Mr. Yale.” Frederic took a step back. “I can ask my assistant.”

“They got to sleep this late in the night, right?” Yale scoffed. “Right, you can get my cousin here! Aren’t you guys

best bros? The kind who’ll come with just one call?”

Frederic glanced at him with a blank face while Yale smirked cryptically.

He had been tipped off before he came that Zephyr and Frederic were drinking in this bar, but Zephyr had

somehow left first. Zephyr had also not been looking good when he left.

Yale had also heard about Michelle, so he was able to connect the dots speedily.

Yale lowered his voice. “Mr. Constable, Zephyr and Cordelia are obviously oppressing Michelle. Can’t you see that?”

Frederic wanted to shake him off impatiently, but he had drunk too much and lost his balance. He staggered and

had to hold on to the wall.

“It’s true!” Yale persisted. “Think about it. Back at Tanners’ party, Michelle offended Cordelia, and Zephyr boycotted

her on the spot. You pleaded her case, but she went to Trinity’s crew!

“And who’s Trinity Lulham? That little b*tch Cordelia’s best friend!”

“What are you saying?” Frederic frowned.

He knew that Trinity and Cordelia worked together but had no idea that they were close in private as well.

Yale had a cigarette between his lips and took two puffs nonchalantly. The smoke he puffed out smelled strong, and

Frederic could not help furrowing his brows. He instinctively thought that the smell was odd but could not pinpoint

what felt strange.

“Hah, so Cordelia’s definitely taking Trinity’s side and squashing your love!” Yale said with a cackle, “Tough days are

ahead for Ms. Carmichael!”

“That’s impossible!” Frederic looked at him coldly. “Cordelia’s open and straightforward in doing things. She won’t

play dirty tricks like this!”

“Her? Open and straightforward?” Yale laughed dryly and looked menacing. “Hah! It’s because of this b*tch and her

gossiping that my grandfather cut Yale Residence’s budget! He took away my personal bodyguards too!

“What’s that if not dirty tricks?”

“Mr. Yale, you asked for these,” Frederic said flatly. “Anything else I can help you with now? Please move. I’m

leaving!”

“Frederic, don’t be ungrateful!” Yale was angry. “Can you live with the fact that Cordelia made your love’s life

difficult and made her get slapped? Are you a f*cking man!?”

Frederic went stiff and stood there like he was frozen. It was probably the alcohol, but he felt suffocated, especially

when he recalled how Cordelia had given Michelle the snake and dog desserts in front of everyone… insulting her

explicitly and implicitly. She had left Michelle no room for pride.

Frederic’s hands balled into fists, shaking a little.

“Mr. Constable, think about it. What will Zephyr do if his girl’s being bullied like that? Hah, is his girl the most

precious in the world, and others are not even humans?

“Think about it some more. What does Ms. Carmichael wish for the most now?” Yale’s eyes gleamed viciously. “For

you to vent for her! Take tenfold or even a hundredfold revenge for her for how Cordelia bullied her!

“Who knows? She might see you differently after that… Wouldn’t it be a matter of course for you to bag the girl

then?”
