Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 87

Carrying her personal belongings, Karine walked dejectedly in the company’s corridor.

Everyone was looking at her with disdain, contempt, and mockery. Some of them nearly applauded, and they were very happy.

None of them pitied her.

As she was going down the stairs, she bumped into Cordelia. The latter was stunned for a moment. The memory of her being taken away by the police a week ago surfaced in her head. At that time, they had been walking down the same stairwell, and she met Karine in the same position.

Although it had only been a week, she felt like a long time had passed since their position had changed now.

Cordelia nodded awkwardly. She wanted to smile at Karine but couldn’t. As she was about to walk away, she saw Karine glaring at her furiously, and her heart skipped a beat.

However, she noticed something different in Karine’s gaze this time. Other than hatred, she also saw a hint of fear in her eyes.

‘Fear?’

Cordelia did not know why Karine would be so scared of her.

Just as she was about to look at Karine again, the latter had already disappeared from the corner with her belongings. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

There was a group of men in a private room of a bar. There was only half a bottle left of the expensive Romanee Conti.

Other than Josiah, who was having a good time, the rest of the people did not seem to enjoy this kind of place, especially Marcus. It was just that Josiah was the host this time, so they had to come.

“Z, Freddy, drink as much as you can!" Josiah said happily as he enjoyed the pole dancing show through the window. "I have a lot of wine here, so just help yourself! Robert, come, you too! Don't be so shy!”

That said, Robert was still a little bit uncomfortable. He smiled at Josiah politely before turning to Marcus.

Josiah walked up to Marcus and patted his shoulder. “Z, don't always keep a long face! Hasn't your wife's matter been solved? The women here are one more beautiful than the other. They’re all such eye candies, so even though you're married, you should at least let your eyes have a feast since you're already here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Marcus glared at him.

Josiah let out a few dry laughs and slapped his own mouth since he knew he had said something wrong.

“It’s getting late.” Marcus put down the glass, “I should go home now.”

“What? It’s only—” Before Josiah could finish his sentence, Fredric and Robert glared at him as a signal to ask him to stop speaking.

That's right. He was the male version of Cinderella right now. He had to get home on time. However, Cinderella went home before midnight, so why did he want to go home so early?

“I have a match the day after tomorrow.” Marcus stopped at the door and looked at them. “Remember to come and support me.”

“What?” Fredric was stunned. “Are you really going?”

“I’ve already told her. If I don’t go, I might expose myself.”

“But it has been so many years since you had a match!”

Marcus’s eyes turned cold.

In the past, boxing was one of the courses that the heir of the Hamertons needed to take. He was very good at it. He had won gold belts in several international tournaments and had no fear of being in the same ring with world champions.

He had been trying to regain his fitness after the plane crash. Although he had been recovering, he had to go through long and difficult training to return to his tip-top condition.

Besides, his old injuries could come back at any time as well.

“It’s okay.” Marcus smiled. “It's true that I haven't been in action for many years, but I have been training this whole time. I'm sure I can handle one match.”

“Is your wife going too?”

Fredric smiled. “I don’t think she should go. There will be a lot of blood, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it.”

Marcus cocked his head and looked at him. “Well, you’re wrong.”
