Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 740

Hannah did not even drive her car. She walked some distance to the quieter area away from the main streets and hailed a cab. She remained uneasy the whole way and only gradually felt better when she was in Chuck's territory.

The cab stopped at the junction, not directly to Chuck's residence. This was a tacit understanding they shared after so long.

She walked another distance to keep things under the radar after getting out of the cab. Today, however, she felt like there was a pair of eyes on her from the back when she made a turn into the quiet alley. Hannah shuddered and jogged on with her head lowered, but the feeling of being watched stayed with her.

She turned around, but there was no one behind her, yet when she moved forward, the footsteps behind her sounded clear in the alley.

She stopped, blinking, and took another alley. Then, she quickly slipped into Chuck's apartment.

After ensuring no one was following her, she opened the door with a key. The obscene sight that greeted her nearly made her cough blood!

Chuck was f*cking two foreign women on the couch, and they were on the Thurks rug she had bought him!

"Argh! You b*stard! You animal!"

Hannah shrieked and grabbed the vase next to her to throw it at them. The threesome could not react in time, and one of the women got hit on the head, resulting in a large gash and a lot of blood. The other woman ran out in fright without even putting anything on.

Chuck growled and grabbed Hannah by the neck to throw her against the wall. Hysterical cries, a fight, and curses were then heard in the room.

The loud noises went on for more than half an hour before they came to a stop.

When Chuck's underlings came in to clean things up, Hannah was on the floor with a bruised face, and Chuck's face also had a few bloodied scratches. The woman whose head was busted from the vase Hannah had thrown was sent to the hospital.

"You sick b*stard... You've got no conscience!" Hannah cried, "Chuck Cole, I've been together with you for years, and this is how you treat me!?"

Chuck lit up a cigarette and threw her an impatient glance.

Hannah sat up and cried, slamming the floor, "I wouldn't have lost that person if I had known! I should let them follow me till we got here! Why should I protect you? I should let the Bakers know about you and let them take care of you..."

"What did you say?" Chuck glared and yanked her up from the floor. "F*cking say that again!?"

Hannah snorted, "You're scared too?"

"Who followed you?" Chuck narrowed his eyes, his saliva flying as he questioned, "Speak up, who followed you!?"

Hannah nearly suffocated from his choke.

Despite that, her mind worked unusually well in moments when oxygen was scarce. Even though she had no idea who was following her, if she could drag Cordelia into this and let Chuck get rid of her... she would save herself a lot of effort!

"Chuck..." She held his wrist. "Listen to me. It's Cordelia... Zephyr's wife, Cordelia!"

"What?" Chuck knew nothing about her.

It was just that he did hear about the Baker patriarch doting on his grandson even though the latter was not a Baker, so the Baker Group was actually under a Hamerton's reign. The woman the Hamerton kid could lay eyes on must not be a regular one!

Chuck snickered, "How do you know she's the one who sent the guy?"

"She... She's probably suspecting," Hannah said with pauses. "I could hear between the lines when I visited her the last time. She's skeptical about our company and money! Chuck, you've got to—" "I've got to pull my funds out!" Chuck rubbed his hands and paced around the apartment.

Hannah was surprised. She wanted to say that he had to get rid of Cordelia as soon as possible. No one f*cking asked him to withdraw anything!

How was Ava going to be the female lead if he pulled his money out!?

"Chuck, what I mean is-"

"Stop laundering the money first!" Chuck waved a hand. "Your company's already registered anyway. It's not like it'll run away! I'll launder it after things quiet down and that little b*tch stops suspecting!" "But how will the production go on if you pull out?"

"Are you stupid?" Chuck glared at her. "Isn't there the Baker Group's money without mine? Can't they afford to shoot a film?"

Hannah choked and was unable to speak for some time.

Chuck only had himself to consider. He had never considered how humiliated she would be in front of Janine and how embarrassed her daughter would be in front of the Bakers if he pulled out the funds! No matter how much she had contributed and sacrificed, she could not warm him up!

Perhaps she had expected too much of him. If he did love her, why would he openly hook up with other women?

Hannah took a deep breath. "Chuck, the money's transferred to Prestige Agency. If we pull it back, it might..."

"What? Are you thinking of taking all my money!?" Chuck arched his brow.

"Of course not." Hannah was still afraid of him. "It's just that it takes time to pull the funds back. A big sum like this requires a few days."

"It's fine. I can wait!" Chuck said and went back to his room with his hands on his back.

Hannah stood rooted with chills slowly seeping from the bottom of her heart.

Zephyr went to Cordelia's checkup with her and received his secretary's call when they were waiting for the result.

"Sir, we've looked into the accounts between Hannah and the man. There's also a sum that went through Prestige Agency but is being pulled back these days. The sum is huge, so it hasn't been completed yet We've screenshot the transaction to keep as evidence."

"Mm, well done!" Zephyr smiled and told Cordelia the good news after he ended the call.

"We have the evidence now, but we can't alarm them," Cordelia analyzed calmly. "Chuck is from the gangs. He'll do anything once his buttons are pushed! We have to be careful."

"Of course." Zephyr swiped a finger across her nose. "Protecting my wife's safety is the priority!"

"And our son's!"

"Oh, fine," the man answered reluctantly. "Can't forget the son no matter when..."

"Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton! The result is out." The nurse came to them. "The report's here. Please come with me. The doctor would like to have a word with you."
