Chapter 311

“Is it my fault then?”Janine felt guilty when she yelled this. After all, she was the one who had recognized the wrong person first, mistaking Yelena, who had been messing around with Yale, as Cordelia.However, being unreasonable had always been her style.She cleared her throat and glanced at Zephyr, forcefully turning the table around. “Cordelia’s wonderful. Why didn’t you let me meet her sooner? You just don’t want us in-laws to meet, do you?”Zephyr was rendered speechless. He remembered a certain someone saying that his marriage did not only concern the Hamertons but also the Bakers. The same someone had also said that he had to choose either Cordelia or her if he dared marry Cordelia.“Mom.” Zephyr was exasperated. “Can you be a little more reasonable? Weren’t you—”“I said I have a daughter-in-law I like, but you weren’t willing at all and even threatened me with pulling your shares out!”Zephyr was baffled. The blame game could be played this way?He looked at Cordeli

Janine was glad to be of service. “Sure! What is it?”Cordelia glanced at Zephyr and giggled. “Can you get my salary card back for me?”“What?”“I haven’t even gotten to hold my salary card ever since I started working in the news agency!”Janine frowned. “Which news agency is it? That’s too much! How dare they delay payment?”“The agency didn’t delay my payment.” Cordelia met Zephyr’s widened eyes and pointed at him with a chuckle, “He took it!”Janine was surprised.Although she had opinions about Zephyr recently, she still thought her son was a responsible man. ‘W-When did he develop the awful habit of snatching a woman’s salary card!?’“Zephyr Hamerton!” she roared.A lot of people attending the event turned.Zephyr could not afford to embarrass himself like this and quickly eyed his mother to lower her volume. Janine did not care. She slapped him again.“You brat! How dare you snatch Cordelia’s salary card? She works so hard to make money every month, and all of that

“The project requires people from the University of Centrolis’ design department, and Murphy Tanner is on the board of trustees.” Zephyr scoffed. “It’s also one lucrative project that everyone wants in, so the Tanners definitely aren’t missing this chance.“More like Nelly Tanner isn’t missing this chance to get close to you? This way, she’ll have an excuse to visit the Hamerton Group every day to discuss work with you!”Zephyr glared at him. His cold gaze told him that he should shut up if he had nothing better to say.Nicholas only cackled more gleefully. After that, he patted Zephyr’s shoulder seriously. “To be honest, I am the boss of an entertainment company and not much in the high society of Centrolis. But one word from you, and I’ll do my best!”“Thanks.” Zephyr patted his wrist as well. “But Nicholas, you probably don’t know that I’m only working for someone too, yeah?”“Huh?”“Make a guess. Who’s the big boss behind this plot of land and the listed companies Donmein and

At the Hamerton Group’s top floor, the meeting felt exceptionally solemn and serious due to Liam’s presence.Liam was seated at the table, dressed in a black silk suit. His silver hair told of the years he had lived. Even with age catching up to him, his gaze was bright and lively while he exuded a sense of authority.He looked at Zephyr and asked, “Has the handover procedure with the Baker Group been completed?”“Yes,” Zephyr answered calmly. “Madam Baker is the largest shareholder of Imperial Media right now.”“Mm.” Liam nodded with a complicated gaze flashing in his eyes. “I hope this company shows its value under Madam Baker.”Even when he had conflicts with the Bakers in the past, he was definitely able to still be tactful with how long he had been in the business world.Moreover, the interests of the Hamertons and the Baker Group were intertwined and complicated. Zephyr was Janine’s son, and that meant that it would be impossible for the Hamertons to cut contact with the Ba

“You brought Cordelia to meet your mother?” asked Liam.“Yes,” answered Zephyr. “My mom likes her very much.”“Hah!” Matthew snorted. “Zephyr, Ms. Jenner is really something, huh!? What trick did she play that she won over Madam Baker, who’s so dominant and picky?”Zephyr’s gaze darkened.His uncle had said this to create an impression that Cordelia was scheming to his grandfather.Liam was already dissatisfied with Cordelia’s family background, and it would be harder to win his acknowledgment with the addition of the label of a scheming woman.Zephyr took in a deep breath and chortled. “Cordelia does get along very well with my mom. This one, she does better than you!”“What did you say?” Matthew frowned. “Zephyr, why are you getting me involved?”“I’m just stating a fact.”Zephyr twirled his pen leisurely. “Uncle Matthew, all these years you’ve spent with my mom, you don’t seem to have received any positive comment?“Even though she’s a little picky, she’s a good judge of p

Matthew’s eyes widened in disbelief.“Looks like it’s useless to you, whether it’s taking the subsidiary from you or dismissing you!” Liam looked at him coldly. “You don’t have to come to the company anymore, then! The projects you have are to be distributed to the Hamerton kids!”“Zephyr, make arrangements for it. Those who take over must have a virtuous character. No more blunders!”“Mm, I understand.” Zephyr smiled as he already had a plan in his mind.He had a lot of peers in the family. His elder cousins were mature and steady people who were trustworthy.“As for the western suburbs land…” Liam thought about it. “Zephyr, take full charge. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”“Alright.”Zephyr wore a small smile.He managed to dismiss Matthew from work in the board meeting last time with a few words, and now, with the same brief words, he kicked the man out of the project.It was like an obstacle removed for him, but the Tanners were still around.Zephyr said with a low tone, “

It went quiet all of a sudden.Cordelia’s eyes were cast down as she held her hands together and remained silent.Janine and Xyla exchanged a look and smiled, leaving tactfully. The young couple needed some private space right now.“Robert, take us around somewhere else,” instructed Janine.Robert caught what she meant instantly and went to start the car. Only the ever-jolly Josiah stood rooted dumbly and stared at the two of them.He grinned. “Z, sis-in-law, you don’t have to bring anything. I’ve set the place up for you. You can pack your bag and check in anytime!”Cordelia looked up and met Zephyr’s deep gaze.Zephyr grew a little nervous. “Cordelia, I won’t force you if you’re reluctant.”Cordelia could not help chuckling inwardly. “I won’t force you”… Ever since she learned about his real identity, these four words seemed to have grown in his mouth!She wondered if he knew that she sometimes quite wished that he would “force” her a little…Sometimes, she thought of the o

“It really isn’t easy to be Mr. Z Hamerton’s wife!” Cordelia grinned at him playfully.It was lonely at the top. Zephyr was high in status, and all his family glory was focused on him—that also meant that all the resentment and hostility were on him.Those in the Hamertons did not dare lay a finger on him, so they would naturally shift their target to the people around him.“I can’t put myself in danger.” Cordelia looked into his eyes. “And I can’t allow you to be distracted because of me.“Only when I’m strong and able to protect myself that I won’t burden you and, instead, become the last and your most secure line of defense.”“Cordelia…” Zephyr had mixed feelings.He knew that his woman was smart and strong. She was no weak pushover bunny.He was great, and she was decent—she could stand with him. This was the best for them. Being parallel and on par with each other was the best version of love.“Say…” Josiah approached them. “Are you two staying here or not?“Never mind, s

Zephyr was wearing it on his hand, so Cordelia was able to compare them straight away.They were really identical. Even the design of the bell and weaving method was the same.The couple exchanged a look and nodded in unison. Zephyr held Cordelia’s hand, and they swiftly left Royal Manor.They drove to the hot spring hotel close to the beach. The air smelled slightly salty as well. After getting out of the car, they took the winding path and heard a familiar voice not too long later.“Young lady, your life ahead is great!“Hmm… but romantic relationship-wise, it’s a bit weaker. Hah, you two will part sooner or later!”Cordelia’s heart squeezed as she quickened her steps.The one standing there was still that old woman. She was reading a tourist’s palm with a small smile that looked like she knew everything.Cordelia froze and heard the old woman say, “But one day, you’ll be happy!”Was this not what she had told them back then as well?“These two bracelets are for you.” The o

Chapter 320

Cordelia and Zephyr officially made their home in Royal Manor.Although Josiah had everything set up, Cordelia still thought that it only felt right that they decorated their home personally.This was why she roamed the streets of Centrolis and bought plenty of things during the free days after resigning from the news agency and before she reported to Imperial Media.She paid for everything with Zephyr’s card.Zephyr’s phone kept buzzing while he was in meetings, notification after notification of transaction history. He furrowed his brows, but there was an indulging smile in his eyes.‘The purchasing power of his girl… Why did I never realize that she is a shopaholic?’If she kept on shopping like this, his monthly allowance would be in peanuts, or he might end up like Nicholas, who did not even have money for a pack of cigarettes!Zephyr’s heart lurched.The department director who was reporting work-related matters accidentally caught Zephyr’s expression when he looked up an
