Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

The police arrived at the scene of the accident shortly and pulled up the barricade tape.

The front car was a luxury car with a high-security factor, so only two of its lights were shattered, and the back

sank in a little.

The back car, which was a van, was completely out of shape. The front was basically crushed as its engine smoked.

“Linda, how are you feeling?” Cordelia’s face was pale from the shock.

She thought her driving skill was decent and followed the traffic rules. Somehow, she was tailed while driving and

could not even step on the brake in time when she was rammed, skidding dozens of meters away from the collision.

It was fortunate that Linda had been hugging a pillow in the car, so her belly was not hurt with the cushion blocking.

The ambulance came, and the paramedics hurriedly carried the two people in the van behind them out.

The police came over and knocked on their window to ask about their state. Seeing that they were alright, they

were asked to do a checkup in the hospital before their statements were to be taken.

When Cordelia got out of the car, her legs were shaking, and she could barely stand. She felt dizzy looking at the

crowd surrounding them.

A stretcher passed by in front of her—the girl on it was thin and pale. The only color she had was actually from the

wound on her forehead.

“Victim, Kelly Tanner.” The police frowned after understanding the situation. “What is this? Info shows that she’s

currently hospitalized. How did she get out?”

…

Joe and Mandy were anxious outside of the operation ward.

Kelly’s identity had been exposed because of the accident.

Joe asked for the driver to be severely punished while Mandy asked the police shakily, “We want you to investigate

this… Who is behind this?!!”

“What?” Joe was stunned.

“Do you know that driver?” Mandy looked at him and raised her voice, “You don’t know him, and I don’t either! So,

where is he from, and why did he abduct Kelly? Do you think it’s fine not figuring these out!?”

Nelly was farther away from them and felt her heart drum, cursing the driver she had bought over hundreds and

thousands of times.

What was the guy doing? How could he let Kelly take over the steering wheel? And to run into Cordelia and Linda’s

car!?

Not only would Zephyr get even with her, but Nicholas would not let her go either!

That day was incredibly long. The light above the doors of the operation ward only went out at 8:00 p.m.

Nelly made countless calls at the same time. It was only when she confirmed that the driver had shouldered all the

blame that she was slightly relieved.

“Nelly.” Mona went to her discreetly. “I looked for the driver, and I agreed to his conditions. He just wants 30,000

dollars for his son. The sum—”

“What money!?” Nelly was snappy. “This is what he’s done, and he wants to ask for money from me?”

Mona was startled. “Nelly, he’s acting as your scapegoat!”

“Did I force him to be one?” Nelly said arrogantly, “Besides, I haven’t figured out what to do when that girl wakes

up! I have a lot on my mind now. I’m not in the mood to send him money!”

Mona wanted to say more but chose to shut up upon seeing how angry Nelly was.

Soon enough, news about the Tanners having another daughter was all over the upper class.

Joe could only explain that Kelly had been ill, so she had never made a public appearance. Despite that, Mandy

openly admitted it to the press, “It’s our mistake as her parents! Kelly has a congenital disease, and we don’t want

people to say that we can’t produce a healthy child… It’s our selfishness and pride!”

Joe looked at her with widened eyes. “Enough!”

“No!” Mandy was emotional. “We’ve been wrong for so many years and owe Kelly so much! I want to apologize to

Kelly in front of everyone today…

“Parents should apologize too for what they’ve done wrong!

“Kelly’s survived the critical stage, but she’s still unconscious.” Mandy sobbed. “I don’t hope my daughter will

forgive me, but I just want to take care of her and redeem myself for the rest of my life…”

Hidden in a corner, Nelly stared at the scene with her fingers clutched to the wall, nearly digging a hole through it.

…

Zephyr kept a close eye on Cordelia these days. He even followed her when she was just feeding the cat on the

porch.

Cordelia was aware of how clingy he could get, but it was the first time he was unshakeable, and she did not know

whether to grimace or chuckle at it.

Just as she turned around from feeding Ginger, she ran into Zephyr’s warm and secure embrace.

The man’s strong arms embraced her as he scanned her from head to toe.

“How many times do you want to check on me every day!?” Cordelia chided weakly.

“I have to see if you’re hurt!” Zephyr said nervously.

“Of course not. See, I’m well!” He had asked the same thing since the first day of the accident and checked her

from head to toe over a hundred times a day.

“But Linda’s in shock. I wonder if it’ll affect her baby.”

“Nothing is coming from Nicholas’ side, so that means everything’s fine,” Zephyr said softly. “But the doctor said

that a frightened pregnant woman will somehow affect the baby. It’s better to rest and recuperate.”

“Why did the van run into us?”

“The police’s answer is that the driver drove in exhaustion and didn’t have a driving license. He’s locked up now.”

“Oh…” Cordelia pursed her lips. “It’s fortunate that the car Nicholas bought Linda was solid and could take a hit!

Otherwise, the both of us would be lying in the emergency ward given another car with that collision force!”

Zephyr stroked her hair with a chortle.

He felt that this was not a regular accident. Initially, he suspected Matthew and Yale, but the clue broke off. He then

guessed whether it was an enemy of Nicholas from the past.

That was not it, either.

Instead, Kelly’s identity was exposed. The Tanners really had another daughter.

“Oh, yeah, Zephyr.” Cordelia frowned. “There’s something that I still find odd thinking about it now…”

“What is it?”

“The Tanner heiress in the van…” She paused. “A rich daughter going out in a van?

“And I saw that she was all pale with black tape over her mouth at the scene of the accident!”

Zephyr froze. “She was abducted?”

Cordelia shrugged and asked softly after a while, “If that’s the case, what’s the purpose of her abduction?

“The Tanners had been telling the public that they only had Nelly Tanner as their daughter for so many years. No

one knows about this heiress. Even if they wanted to abduct a rich kid, they should have abducted Nelly!”

Zephyr nodded and looked thoughtful.
