“I hooked up with no one,” Kelly said flatly. “We… just got to know each other coincidentally.”Nelly’s gaze was vicious as her red lips pulled into a mocking smile.“Hah, my baby sister’s so pretty that even when she’s ill, there’s a man going after her!” Her sharp nail ran across Kelly’s face. “If this face is ruined, I wonder what Josiah will look like when he sees you again.”“You won’t do that.” Kelly looked at her.Her pale and beautiful eyes were resolute.Nelly hated this gaze. She was scared of it as well.“You really think I dare not?” She gnashed her teeth and clenched her fingers to choke Kelly.Kelly furrowed her brows as suffocating fear and despair crept up to her.Kelly uttered with great difficulty, “Nelly, if… I really disappear from this world, you’ll lose everything too!”With her sore spot hit, Nelly let go slowly, but her gaze was still sinister.“If you ruin my face, my injury will be in the open.” Kelly smirked. “You wouldn’t want anyone to see what yo

It was already the fifth day on the island.The sun was bright these days, and the island felt lively with the large surface area of greens and exceptionally fresh air.If they were not here because of the mishap, they would have really wanted to treat this trip as a vacation.Not much food was left, so Zephyr had been trying to catch fish in the sea since yesterday. His luck was decent, and they got to drink fresh fish soup that night. He also found tools like axes and stuff at the bottommost area of the cabin and came back with some logs from the forest.Cordelia’s gaze on him was increasingly more admiring.If she had drifted to this island alone, she definitely would not have had such a good time. With this man here, everything was different.Her heart ached for the blisters on his hands as she combed through his disheveled hair. Looking at his face, which had not been shaved for days, she suddenly giggled.This was another side of Zephyr that Cordelia had never seen.Rowan

Cordelia went to the deck after her shower.The sun was right in the center of the sky currently, so it was most probably noon. It was already fall, but it was still quite warm. The deck was toasty from the sun and felt comfortable under the feet.Cordelia saw Rowan sitting at the bow.Rowan noticed her as well and turned back to greet her.“Mr. Irwin.” Cordelia nodded with a smile.Rowan gestured for her to take a seat beside him.“Where’s your boyfriend?” he asked her with a smile.“He’s gone to wash the clothes.” Cordelia pointed at the forest. “By the spring.”Rowan gave it a thought and went closer to her to ask, “Does he usually do the laundry when you two are home?”“We have a helper at home, and she usually does the chores.”Rowan creased his brows. “So, this brat is lazy and doesn’t do anything?”Cordelia smiled awkwardly. She did not understand why this older man was poking his nose into everything.Maybe it was because his children were not around him, and he sti

Cordelia found it funny. The sentence “men aren’t reliable” tickled her spot. The old man was a man, too—was this his comment for himself as well?“Mr. Irwin, men aren’t the same!” Cordelia laughed. “I’m confident in my man. He’s not like what you said.”“Silly! Would a bad person tell you they’re bad?” Rowan was both distressed and amused. “I’ll tell you based on my personal experience. You’ve got to think about yourself more! And you mustn’t trust someone easily!”“Your personal experience?” Cordelia caught the main point swiftly. “What have you experienced?”“I…” Rowan’s expression changed, and he went silent.What could he say? Tell her how he had taken advantage of her mother back then and how he had taken over Irwin Pharmaceuticals? Or should he tell her that he was the type of man who was unreliable and untrustworthy?Rowan suddenly lost the courage to be honest and come clean before Cordelia. He rose slowly and waved a hand, walking toward the yacht's cockpit.Cordelia w

Zephyr frowned while Rowan looked shocked.“Can this message be traced back?” asked Rowan.Zephyr answered in a low voice, “I think so, but I haven’t figured the manual out yet and don’t know how to operate it.”Rowan took the manual over and went through it line by line.Zephyr said after a moment of silence, “Mr. Irwin, I think this cry for help isn’t for us but for Josiah.”“Mr. Bayer?” Rowan arched a brow. “Did other yachts run into danger too?”“Perhaps…”Zephyr squinted. There was a thought flashing in his mind. Josiah had once told him that he liked a girl, and then there was nothing after that. ‘Could it be that… it is not that the girl does not want to date him but that she cannot?’Zephyr felt his heart squeeze. His gaze turned serious as he stared at the [Save me!] message.…Although the radio and internet connection was unstable, Zephyr and Rowan’s constant messages were finally responded to.Two days later, Josiah and Robert arrived on the island with a rescu

Zephyr frowned, slightly impatient. “When did you turn so slow?”Robert was rendered speechless.“I want to buy the island. Understand now?!”Zephyr bought the island shortly after returning to Centrolis and was ready to develop it.Everyone in the Hamerton Group thought that he had lost his mind, and Liam was no exception.That island’s geographical location was the worst among the surrounding islands of Centrolis. It was also the smallest. Other than the scenery being prettier, it had no commercial value.The board meeting was bubbling with comments.“What’s gotten into Mr. Zephyr? He’s gone away and come back with a cuckoo mind!”“Buying the island’s a loss! What an unfortunate event that the Hamerton Group has a reckless and capricious heir like this!”Someone even said, “Does that island have some kind of mysterious power that enchants Mr. Zephyr?”To all that, Zephyr’s response was simple. “Who said I bought the island for commercialization?”“What do you mean?” Everyo

Nelly bit her lips and took a deep breath. She had visited Liam a few days ago, and the old man had still expressed that he would support her marrying Zephyr.Even when Mandy had kept explaining as indirectly as she could that the Tanners and the Hamertons had never really had any promise of any sort and that marriage should be decided by the young ones themselves, Nelly refused to agree.This was a fight she refused to give up on. She wanted to marry into the Hamertons. She thought that by doing so, Mandy would hold her in higher regard, and no one in the Hamertons would dare look down on her with Zephyr as her support.By then, she would not have to be scared of people finding out about her birth. It would be a secret forever that she would crush under her foot.Nelly recomposed herself. “Zephyr, I know that you’re just rushed by impulse now. Ms. Jenner is great, but she isn’t compatible with you.“Marriage is like building a house. It can only go higher when the foundation’s so

“It’s fine, Aunt Tanner.” Zephyr kept his respect for an elder. “Grandpa brought you and uncle up just the day before yesterday and asked me to send his regards.”“Thank him for us.” Mandy nodded. “Elder Mr. Hamerton’s been taking care of the Tanners, and we aren’t ungrateful people… Let us know if there’s anything we can help with, Mr. Zephyr!”“Sure.”Zephyr exchanged pleasantries with her before excusing himself to network with other guests.Nelly trembled. Her hands and feet were icy as rage bottled up in her.Mandy glanced at her in repulse and said coldly, “It’s enough that your father and I are here. You can go home first if you aren’t used to the event.”“Mom!” Nelly was in distress. “Grandpa Hamerton’s agreed to my and Zephyr’s marriage. Why are you still stopping me!?”“Because I still have shame!” Mandy chided sternly.Nelly bit her lips and stayed quiet.Mandy grabbed her arm, yanked her somewhere with fewer people, and glared at her.“Even though we adopted you f
