Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

“You... All of you, shut up!” Yelena was furious from her embarrassment and
turned to run away. However, she sprained her foot on her high heel and hissed
in pain.

Cordelia stood next to her, coldly watching her pathetic state. She had brought
this upon herself.

Cordelia pursed her lips. She did not sympathize with Yelena. It was just that she
was also a Jenner, so she was one with Yelena to the outsiders. How could she
not be embarrassed when she had a family like this?

Before Yelena left, she glared daggers at Cordelia and nearly crushed her teeth
from how hard she was gritting them.

Oliver smiled and looked at the crowd. “It's a misunderstanding. Go on with the
event!”

The dinner resumed. Cordelia was not in the mood anymore and was going to
turn around when Oliver called out for her from the back.

“Ms. Jenner, please hold on.”

Cordelia could only turn around and greet the man.

Oliver noticed the jade ring on her hand and looked at Marcus, who was beside
her. “Aren’t you introducing us?”

Unable to help it, Cordelia could only pull Marcus over to introduce them. “He's
my husband, Marcus Grist. Honey, this is Mr. Oliver Jones, the CEO of the Star
Group, whom I've mentioned to you before.”

Oliver extended a hand, but Marcus stepped back and nodded. He had noticed
that Oliver had a strange expression since he appeared. His eyes looked like
they were trying to see through something. Marcus’ hands slowly balled up
behind him as he got more on guard.

Oliver's hand froze mid-air. Marcus’ refusal to shake hands was out of his
expectation. He chuckled dryly and ran his hand over his hair to conceal the
awkwardness.

Cordelia said with a chortle, “Honey, Karine wanted to pick on me the last time.
It's thanks to Mr. Jones who recognizes this jade ring to be real and helped me
exaggerate it that Karine didn’t get her way!”

“No problem at all.” Oliver smiled and sneaked glances at Marcus. “I'm an
enthusiast of gemology. I spoke the truth. It’s not exaggerated at all. What Ms.
Jenner has is really a rare gem!

“I was told that it's a wedding ring?

“Heh, Mr. Grist.” Oliver looked at him meaningfully. “I wonder where you've gotten
this beautiful jade. It's been over a decade since I married my wife. I'd like to get
one for her for our anniversary this year!”

Cordelia had wanted to blurt that it was her husband's family heirloom but
sensitively noticed that Marcus did not look quite right.

The guard and alertness he showed and the dark gleam in his eyes were like a
wild animal’s unblinking caution before it was in danger.

There was also an inexplicable strangeness in Oliver's gaze too...

Cordelia paused and smiled. “I bought this with my husband.”

Marcus was startled, not expecting her to catch on so fast.

“My husband said that he wanted to get me a piece of jewelry before we got
married, so we shopped everywhere. We've been to all the big and small antique
shops and jewelry boutiques, and we finally decided on this. The shop's close to
Green Pine Street. The owner’s an old lady. The things in her shop have quite
the history.”

Cordelia was convincing. Green Pine Street was a famous antique business
street in Jangasas too, with plenty of shops there. Some people managed to buy
precious gems there.

Oliver squinted and grew more confused.

Cordelia held Marcus’ arm and smiled brightly. “Honey, we were right to go to
Green Pine Street. Who would have expected us to get a gem like this? Heh, it's
a steal!”
