Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 99

“Oh, so you’re Dr. Stafford?” Linda quickly retracted her hand that was still shaking his. “Cordelia and Marcus’ matchmaker?”

Seth did not notice the subtle change of emotion in her eyes. Not only that, but he had been under the impression that he had done a great job in matchmaking the couple—he had made a beautiful marriage happen.

He tidied his coat. With a little pride in his voice, he looked at her with a smile. “It’s me. Ha, I didn’t help much. They’re destined to be together. I merely—”

“You didn’t help?” Linda interrupted him and raised her voice. “You sure are humble, Dr. Stafford!”

Seth frowned upon realizing something was off about her.

“Dr. Stafford, you’re a doctor! Saving lives is your job, right? Why do I feel like you’re like those nosy ladies who have nothing to do, trying to matchmake everyone they know?

“Forget that you were matchmaking... You should’ve gotten her a good man!” Linda could not help but vent her spleen. “You got Cordelia to marry Marcus. Weren’t you dragging her into trouble to be doing that?!”

“Hey…” It was Seth’s first time being blamed like that. He could not help but widen his eyes.

“What are you talking about?” He fought back. “The marriage had been set between the two families from the beginning. It was just that the Grists waned. However, one shouldn’t go back on their word, right? They couldn’t go back on the marriage agreement just because his family is now poor!”

“Ha, you think being poor is the only thing?” Linda rolled her eyes. “He has a criminal record! He was in prison before! How could a pure girl like Cordelia be happy to be marrying such a man?”

“Then why don’t you ask Cordelia if she’s happy or not?”

Seth smirked, and a tinge of pride surfaced on his face. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Linda’s cheeks were flushing and turning pale. She was pissed.

“Miss, on the first day at medical school, my teacher taught me that the biggest taboo of a doctor is to treat the head when the head aches and treat the foot when the foot hurts. We have to be thorough when analyzing the patient’s medical record and illness. Sometimes, when something is wrong with their liver, we’ll also get doctors from hematology for the consultation!”

“What are you trying to say?” Linda glared at him. “I don’t get it!”

“I’m trying to say that we must be thorough when treating an illness. The same goes for our judgment.” Seth’s voice calmed down. “Although people were talking behind Marcus in the past and saying he didn’t talk to others, I took care of him for a while when he was recovering. I could tell that he was a good person from what I knew about him. That was why I fought for his marriage for him.

“Everyone has a past!” Seth revealed a big smile.

Linda raised her eyebrow when she heard that. Her eyes turned grim, and she stopped fighting with him.

Seth was smirking while watching the thin and proud back facing him as she left. He did not notice that he had been doing that.

…

Cordelia finally did not have to go to the hospital anymore since Marcus was discharged. Her burden was slightly lightened.

She slowly got the hang of her job. Meanwhile, Oliver had toned down significantly lately and stopped texting her.

She felt everything was getting on track.

However, David suddenly called her to the meeting room. When she rushed there, she saw Yelena sitting there, smiling as she greeted her.

Cordelia’s heart thumped. She stood at the door feeling a little lost.

“Why are you standing there, Ms. Jenner?” David said with a smile, “I’m sure you’re familiar with Ms. Jenner, right?”

Cordelia nodded awkwardly. She had a bad feeling as she looked at Yelena.

The marketing manager and supervisors were there. After sitting in for a while, Cordelia discovered that Yelena represented William to negotiate a long-term collaboration with Bowfest Foreign Trading.

“It’s our honor to be working with the Jenner Group!”
