Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1656

"Wife?" Cordelia sneered. "Are you and Graham officially married? You intervened while Graham was still engaged to someone else, and even now, you're unofficial. Using the status 'wife' might just invite ridicule!"

"Mrs. Hamerton—"

"I suddenly remembered." Cordelia's gaze gleamed. "Were you the one by Kelly's side when she fainted?"

"Oh, yes." Sophie smiled. "I was visiting on Graham's behalf. I didn't expect Mrs. Bayer to be so weak."

"What did you tell her before she fainted?" Cordelia questioned.

Sophia was taken aback and lowered her gaze slightly.

"Afraid to tell me, huh?" Cordelia approached her. "Kelly has always maintained her health well, so she shouldn't have fainted so easily. She wouldn't be in the emergency room if she hadn't been deeply distressed.

"You were the only one with her when she fainted, and it's only natural for people to suspect you when your actions seem questionable."

"Aunt Cordelia, please don't..." Graham pulled Sophia behind him and shot her a look to ask her to leave.

Sophia nodded and quickly got out of sight, following the corridor.

It wasn't until Sophia was completely gone that Graham said softly, "Aunt Cordelia, Sophia isn't that kind of person…"

"Graham!" Cordelia finally understood why Josiah had slapped him twice. "Don't you see the truth, even now? Your mother is still inside!"

"Actually, none of this has anything to do with Sophia," Graham licked his lip and explained carefully, "Aunt Cordelia, to be honest, Sophia blames herself. She was just worried about Arya's safety and let it slip in front of my mom. That's why—"

"What did you say?!" Zephyr widened his eyes, huffing a laugh." Graham, you weren't in the room when your mother fainted, am I right?!"
