Cordelia took pictures of each medicinal formula and locked the box. She rushed to the University of Centrolis.At present, classes were in progress, and students could be seen walking by occasionally.Cordelia only found the medical department after asking around. The students told her that Carter would usually be at the lab when he did not have classes. They asked her to try her luck there.She headed to the lab after thanking them. As expected, he was there.As Cordelia was about to call out to him, she suddenly noticed another familiar figure––Rowan.She was stunned.There was a big meridian diagram hanging in front of them. Rowan was explaining to Carter.One was explaining while the other was listening in all seriousness. They had the same expressions. From far away, they looked like they came from the same mold.Cordelia’s heart skipped a beat. It was as if an invisible hand was choking her. She could not breathe, nor could she speak.Carter noticed her at that moment.
Cordelia paused and said flatly, “Nothing.”Rowan thought it was strange. He wanted to ask more but dared not. He could only secretly look at his daughter.However, she seemed like she was really okay.He pursed his lips and chuckled. “Oh, that’s great… It’s noon, so why don’t I take you guys to lunch? Then I can talk more with Carter. Hehe…“What would you guys like to eat?” He looked at Cordelia in a fawning manner. “You’ll pick, Cordelia!”“No.” Cordelia paused and lifted her eyes to look at him. “I’m going to look for Zephyr. He left home early in the morning. I haven’t seen him today.”“What?” Rowan’s expression changed. “Did he not return home?”“No,” Cordelia said softly. “He just left early.”“Ah, I’m sure he wouldn’t dare not to come home!” Rowan was confident. “Cordelia, tell me if he doesn’t come home. I’ll…”Cordelia stared into his eyes, and her voice was soft as each word struck his heart like a stone. “Mr. Irwin, aren’t you being a little too nosy?”Rowan was s
Liam was the one who had personally trained Zephyr. Naturally, he exuded the same majesty as Liam.The few sly foxes could foresee what would happen to them. They thought they would show their loyalty, give out their remaining power, and retire. At that moment, Robert walked to Zephyr with his phone in a panic.Zephyr’s face suddenly changed. He rushed out of the meeting room without even looking back.…Robert drove fast. He would check on Zephyr’s face from the rearview mirror carefully every now and then.He was expressionless. A grim glint flashed through his deep eyes as he clenched his fists.It was Xyla who had called.…“Cordelia… She just came to me to ask about Rowan.”“Did she find out?”Xyla said nothing.Zephyr frowned. His breathing instinctively became heavy.“Zephyr, I told her everything that happened in the past… Actually, even if I didn’t, she could guess it. She opened the box and saw the things in there… I couldn’t hide it from her!“She ran out afte
Zephyr lowered his head in silence.“So, all of you knew.” Cordelia’s eyes were red. “And all of you hid the truth from me, is that right?”“Wifey…”Zephyr was nervous.They had made a pact that they would not hide anything from each other. No matter what happened, they would face it together.However, he had made the same mistake twice!Zephyr said softly, “Cordelia, I found out about this recently… It’s complicated, but please believe me that I didn’t hide it from you on purpose.“I couldn’t be the one that told you that. It had to come from your parents… Can you understand my situation?”She took a few deep breaths.That was right. How could she blame him? He was troubled too.Perhaps she would do the same, too, if it were her. She did not receive love from her father for over 20 years, and she had a father coming out of nowhere. Naturally, the people around her would keep it a secret before the truth came out.It was a big deal. Unless the person told her himself, would
“Go to bed after this. Don't think about anything.” Zephyr played with her hair and said in a deep voice, “Let your hubby take care of the rest.”Cordelia was stunned. “What are you going to do?”He said intentionally. “Mr. Irwin is too much. He upset my wife, so I’ll chase him back to Southeast Aciatic!”“Don’t…”She suddenly stopped after saying that.Zephyr looked at her and chucked.Since she was young, William was nothing to her. She craved fatherly love very much.Because Cordelia craved it, she felt resistant and terrified when she got it out of nowhere. That was why she was bringing up all of the sufferings that she had gone through over the past 20 years.That was why she felt strange. That was why she thought she was nothing to Rowan. Otherwise, why would a father give up on his children?She felt her tears coming. She took a deep breath and sucked it in with all of her might.“It’s okay, wifey.” Zephyr patted her back. “I know you’ll get it one day. Take your time
Fredric lifted his eyes and looked at Michelle quietly.He was still smiling, but Michelle subconsciously felt something had changed.It must be an illusion… That was right! Fredric would always love her!She revealed a flirtatious smile and leaned on him softly. Suddenly, a force held onto her shoulder. She looked and saw his hand grabbing her shoulder. He pushed her away quietly.“Fredric…”“We should do something about us.” He paused and smiled. “Michelle, I’m happy to see you famous today.”“You’re the one who gave me all this!”“It was Yale who gave you this,” Fredric said flatly. “You should stay with Yale. He’ll give you more.”“Fredric!?” Michelle felt a squeeze in her heart.What did he mean?She forced a smile. “Fredric, if you don’t work for Mr. Hamerton, he won’t give me so many things!”“Hmm, don’t worry. I’ll keep working for him.” He smiled. There was a confusing coldness on his face. “About us, I haven’t thought it through. We’ll talk about it after my task w
“Haha! Great!” Yale was in glee and clapped Fredric’s shoulder.“As expected of a lawyer, so efficient!”Fredric suppressed his disgust and bowed politely. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yale.”“Hah, I know that your only concern’s Michelle!” Yale smiled.Michelle’s intelligence was lacking, but she was lucky to have someone like Fredric sacrifice everything for her. As long as he kept a good grip on the woman, he would not have to worry about Fredric not working for him!“Don’t worry,” Yale said in a lowered voice. “I’ll keep paying for her internet presence and get her trending. She’ll be popular for sure!”“I feel bad that you have to spend.”“No need for that!” Yale was gleeful. “The set of medicinal formulas is very valuable. As long as it can be developed, no one in the Hamertons will dare look down on me!”…Rowan had been really good these days and loitered around Imperial Media whenever he could. He was not just doing that—each time he went, he would bring tea and
Rowan froze on the spot, not knowing which leg to move first.“Mr. Harris, your manager’s waiting for you at the door,” Mr. Smith said with a smile. “There are a few shots to add to Ms. Lulham’s film!”“Mm, got it.” Neil patted his clothes and put on his sunglasses before walking out. Before he left, he mouthed a “You got this” to Rowan.Rowan looked at the elevator and then at Mr. Smith with a troubled expression.Mr. Smith chuckled. “Mr. Irwin, Madam Baker said that you’ve been monkeying here these two days to meet Mrs. Hamerton!”“Well…” How could Janine describe him to be monkeying around!?“Don’t worry.” Mr. Smith saw through him. “Madam Baker returned to Chaiseland on an early flight today. She’s not around.”It was only then Rowan looked better, but he could not let others notice that he was wary of Janine. Hence, he coughed and straightened up his back, huffing audibly. “It doesn’t matter if she’s around or not! I’m not scared!”Mr. Smith watched Rowan’s back with a sha
