Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Michelle knew that Frederic must be here in an event like this.

Even though he came from a scholar family, the elders of that family were all across Centrolis’ education and legal

bureaucracies. There were judges, prosecutors, professors, and chancellors.

All four major families were on good terms with this family.

Michelle bit her lips and vaguely heard a frantic voice amidst the mockery.

“Z, don’t be like this!”

The crowd quieted down and checked out the handsome man in a suit following his voice. He was good-looking and

outstanding in physique and presence among everyone else.

It was just that… he was challenging Zephyr?

The crowd exchanged looks and continued watching like they were watching a show.

Zephyr frowned and looked up at him.

“Hey, Frederic, what are you doing!?” Josiah warned softly, “Are you too free? Trying to save the damsel in distress

now!?”

Frederic licked his dry lips and looked at Zephyr pleadingly.

“Z…”

Zephyr’s voice was deep and cold. “Frederic, what do you want to say?”

“Z, I just want to plead Michelle’s case for her.” Frederic’s voice was not loud, but his gaze was determined. “It was

a mindless mistake on her part. Be the bigger person, and don’t punish her like this.”

Zephyr’s face fell while Josiah widened his eyes before he eyed Frederic desperately to shut him up.

“Frederic! Come here!” Josiah sweated. “Stop it, okay? You… You’re quite smart usually. Why are you dumber than

me today?”

Each word from Frederic felt difficult. “Z, Michelle just came back from abroad. She doesn’t know better and

accidentally offended Cordelia… I’ll apologize on her behalf.”

He stood straight and bowed.

Cordelia quickly asked him up and quietly checked Zephyr’s expression.

“Zephyr…” She was not being nice, but she could not bear to keep Frederic in a plight.

When the whole world despised Michelle, there was someone who stood up for her… Cordelia immediately

understood whose unforgettable love she actually was.

Frederic was near pleading, “Z, consider this a favor for me, okay?”

“Frederic!” Josiah looked at him in disbelief. “What’s wrong with you!?”

Even if he wanted to do something for his first love, he ought to discern what kind of person his first love was!

Despite that, it was like a life-saving straw to Michelle.

She quickly snapped out of herself and wanted to go to Frederic, only to slip as she scurried.

Frederic grabbed her swiftly, and as they met eyes, Michelle vaguely leaned on him.

“Hah, good acting skills!” Some female celebrities commented softly, “Our award-winning actress probably isn’t as

skilled, right?”

Said actress scoffed and said nothing.

No one noticed that there was someone outside of the crowd who was watching the whole incident quietly. The

scene stung her eyes, and the words pricked her heart.

Frederic held Michelle carefully. To be exact, he was keeping her behind him. His straight posture was like a tree. As

long as he could shelter the person he liked, it was his biggest honor. What he did not know was that there was

someone outside of the crowd who was willing to do the same for him…

Trinity bit her lips. Her eyes dimmed like pools of dead water.

After a moment of silence, Zephyr answered slowly, “Alright.”

Frederic was surprised and grateful.

“I’m letting her go today, not for anything but you,” Zephyr said coldly. “If she causes any other problems, I won’t

be as nice!”

“She won’t!” Frederic hurried to promise. “Thank you, Z!”

“Frederic, you’ve been an outstanding lawyer.” Zephyr’s tone was grim. “A lawyer has to be Being emotionally

reckless is taboo. I think you’re more aware of this than I am.”

“Mm.”

Zephyr looked at him and then glanced at Michelle. “So I hope that you’re as calm when you handle your personal

relationships as when you handle cases!”

He took Cordelia’s hand and left after saying that.

Michelle only breathed in relief when they completely disappeared in the night, and her hand that held onto

Frederic’s arm let go instantly.

“Michelle, you…”

“I’m fine.” Michelle’s attitude was lukewarm. “I’m a little tired. I’d like to go back to rest first. Thank you for

tonight!”

Frederic smiled and looked at her quietly.

He would do everything he could to fulfill Michelle’s requests. Back when she studied music overseas, she did not

even have the money to buy a cello. He had helped her with that. He had also always thought that her cello music

was a melody for him.

Frederic smiled weakly and lowered his head. Many times, he found it tiring as well. This hopeless, unrequited love

was his personal pursuit. It was like a tragic solo show.

However, once he was in, he was all in.

Michelle looked at him in slight annoyance and hurried off with Nancy without even a goodbye.

…

Later, a nerve-wracking drama was up in Royal Manor.

Cordelia intentionally kept a straight face sitting on the couch while Zephyr sat next to her, not daring to go too

close, as he looked at her nervously and kept reflecting on where he had gone wrong.

She was obviously delighted about the proposal! There were even happy tears!

Now, however…

It so happened that Zephyr caught a glimpse of the diamond ring on Cordelia’s ring finger and felt realization zap

him.

“Honey, are you unhappy about the ring size?”

Cordelia’s eyes widened, and she nearly laughed aloud in anger. It was no wonder that Janine always nagged him!

Zephyr chuckled foolishly. “Cordelia, I’ll make a bigger one if you’re not satisfied with this one!”

Cordelia replied mockingly, “You best carry the mine over too!”

Bring the mine over? It was not like it could not be done… If Cordelia liked it, even the moon could be moved.

Zephyr went closer to her and held her hand when he saw a hint of a smile on her face. “Cordelia, your fingers are

slender and long. It looks better wearing the one I bought you.

“Of course, if you really like a big one, I’ll get a big one. You’ll look good no matter how big the ring is!”
