There was a distance between the bathroom and the recording site. Cordelia walked over slowly in her heels.However, she had the feeling that someone was following her.She was careful and slowed down. At present, she was standing in an empty corridor. The lights were rather dimmed, and the air was chilly.She turned her head, but there was nothing behind her apart from the dim corridor.She took a deep breath and thought she was overthinking.It was a TV station. People who managed to come in had to pass through security. There should not be any bad people here.Nevertheless…She thought about it and got her phone to text Zephyr quickly.[Zen, I’m powdering my face in the bathroom.]She did not write anything more. She only sent that and her location.That was the tacit understanding between them.She knew that he would come over as soon as he could. He would send someone to protect her even if he could not come.She smiled.Even if there was no one around, it was better
Cordelia smiled coldly. Fortunately, she had sent her location to Zephyr. It was almost time. All she had to do was to hold this j*rk down!“Hah, I got what you mean now, Director Green.” Cordelia scoffed. “But please think carefully before you do disgusting things like this. Don’t offend people you can’t afford to offend, or you might die a horrible death!”“Wow, you’re threatening me?” Chad grinned. “You’re pretty, but you’re brutal… Haha, sure. I don’t need my dead body to be intact. I just want to die on top of you!”“Go away!”Cordelia used all of her power to push him away while tolerating her discomfort. However, his fat body was like a wall.She could not move him while he tried to kiss her.He was excited, as if he was shocked by electricity, when he smelled the fragrance on her body.“Ms. Jenner… I know you married a thug, and you’re not happy with your marriage… Don’t worry. I’ll fulfill your needs!”“Get off!”Just when he almost kissed her, she lifted her leg and
Zephyr smiled awkwardly. He got the bodyguards to keep quiet while he quietly went forward to see.As he thought, Cordelia removed her heels and hit them hard on Chad’s head twice.He was bald, so it hurt extra for him. He was groaning in pain.Only then did she vent her anger. She put on her heels and stood there with her hands on her waist. Although her hair was a little messy, she was still majestic, like a heroine.Chad lay on the ground with his swollen face. He remained stubborn after being beaten up.“D-Don’t you know who I am, b*tches?!”“I don’t care who you are! I’ll beat you up no matter who you are!”“My movie won international awards—”“My husband is Zephyr Hamerton!”Cordelia enunciated fiercely and kicked him twice.Chad was dumbstruck as he looked at her with his mouth wide.Zephyr, who was out there, smirked. Pride was growing inside of him.“Alright, Ms. Jenner. The recording is starting. Stop wasting time with this j*rk!”“Okay!”Cordelia glanced at her
“Ms. Lulham, the recording is starting soon.” Zephyr smiled lightly. “Don’t be late.”Trinity knew that she was unwelcome. He was indirectly telling her not to be a third wheel.Therefore, she left instantly.Zephyr smiled and held Cordelia’s hand as they walked out of the corridor. The bodyguards were walking slowly as they were dragging Chad. Chad tried his best to open his swollen eyes when they passed by him. He saw with his very own eyes that Cordelia and Zephyr were happily locking their fingers.He felt a chill in him.She was not kidding that he would die a devastating death…With Zephyr’s temper, he would slice him into a million pieces!…Everything was ready in the recording hall. However, Zephyr did not sit in the middle.“Mr. Hamerton, please come here…” The host wanted to take him to the middle.“No need,” he said calmly. “I saw the script of your show. The male and female leads will be chosen in this episode.“The main characters are important, but the directo
The hosts on the stage were experienced.Although what happened surprised them, they calmed down immediately and got the letter from Zephyr.It was a report. The people who reported were the few young directors from the video clips.The male host remained calm and read the letter at normal speed. The entire recording site became dead silent instantly.Chad fell onto the ground from the shock, and his swollen face twitched.A heated discussion exploded after over ten seconds of dead silence.“So, that was how Mr. Green got his award!?”“The saying a leopard can't change its spots is right! He directed porn before, so how could he direct anything classy at all?”“That’s right. I was annoyed that he got an international award. So, he plagiarized!”“It’s humiliating the directors that he’s still around!”“Boycott him! Cancel him!”The people were yelling, getting more and more intense.Chad felt as if there were thousands of bees buzzing in his head. He looked around in a panic
Frederic smiled. “Z, you’re really being more considerate to your father-in-law now!”Zephyr glared at him.Frederic only shrugged. Some people were just stubborn, but their heart was honest.It seemed that Zephyr and Rowan were quite similar in this case. Guess they were just destined to be a family!“Oh, yeah, don’t get too caught up with this father-in-law, Z. Friendly reminder, but your ex-father-in-law’s company is going down! You’ve got to watch out for him.”Zephyr frowned. What the heck?Frederic grinned. “Your ex-father-in-law, William Jenner?”When he looked up, Zephyr’s glower grew darker.“Cough!” Frederic quickly explained, “William Jenner’s company isn’t going that well. It seems like it’ll be going bankrupt soon.”“Really?” Zephyr sneered.He remembered that the company had been doing alright when they had still been in Jangasas. He’d even wanted to give Cordelia some shares back then. How had he managed to go bankrupt in just two years?“There must be a reaso
However, he was in urgent need of the money right now. He could only get money from the Southeast Aciatic account in Xyla’s name.William bit his lip. It was a risky move. Who were the Irwins in Southeast Aciatic? They were tough and aggressive. They would not care about the money but they hated being deceived.If they found out that William had lied to them, for over 20 years no less, he could imagine the consequences.William paced back and forth in the room with a frown. He recalled what Chad had looked like when he had visited him in jail.Chad had been wrapped in gauze like a mummy and had actually been helped out by the jail warden while walking. His mental state had not been stable either. He had been a little crazy and he had not been speaking clearly because he had two teeth missing in the front.William despised him and had been about to turn around when he’d heard Chad mumbling, “Bro… your Cordelia’s d-doing so well now…“I can’t afford to offend her, no…“She has…
“I don’t mind another person doting on you!”What Linda had said made Zephyr feel an impending sense of crisis.He stood outside the door, jealousy bubbling in him predictably.He knew that Cordelia shone like a diamond and he would not be able to just keep her away at home even if he wanted to. However, he had never expected his love rival to end up being a woman!With a scowl, Zephyr went downstairs and pulled out his phone on the balcony.He did not believe the speculations regarding Trinity’s sexual orientation either, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Having a solution was always better than not having one when it was needed.Robert’s phone rang for a long time.He was currently playing cards with Josiah. Remembering the few lessons he had been taught previously, he was determined not to show himself in front of Zephyr, so the farther away he was, the better. He had come to look for Josiah.Unfortunately, he received Zephyr’s call not too long into the game. The sou
