Chapter 431

Cordelia spent these days accompanying Linda.It had a serious impact on Linda’s health, and she was to have bed rest. She was usually sleeping and would rest against the headboard when she was awake, staring outside the window without saying anything. Her pale and weak state saddened one who looked.Cordelia passed her chicken soup that was freshly made.“Linda…” She sobbed a little as soon as she opened her mouth. “Have a little chicken soup. It tastes nice. I added some dates to make it nourishing and sweet.”There was no response from Linda. Her lips were cracked from how dry they were.Cordelia could understand what she was feeling.Her baby had already been formed, but it did not even get to greet the world. It was said that it was a boy too. Nicholas liked boys.Cordelia had also promised her that their children would marry each other in the future so they would become in-laws.Everything had become a burst bubble now.Cordelia’s phone rang. It was Zephyr. She hurried o

“Just be patient, Aunt Tanner,” Cordelia said with a smile. “Stay as you are for now.”Mandy looked anxious.“I own half of the Tanner Group… To be precise, 2/3 of it is mine! Before Joe married me, he was nothing! The wedding gift I brought along filled up the gap and hole in the Tanners!“But he betrayed me and raised his illegitimate daughter right under my nose for 20 years! He played me like a fool!” The more Mandy spoke, the more agitated she was as she hit the side of the bed with clenched fists.Once she thought about this, she was repulsed and regretful.She had taken care of an illegitimate daughter but overlooked her birth daughter’s feelings for so many tears. She was not worthy as a mother!“Aunt Tanner, don’t be like this.” Cordelia quickly stopped her. “Don’t worry. Nelly won’t have the Tanner Group, and Mr. Tanner isn’t the sole decision-maker in the company. There are other shareholders!“What you have to do now is to eat and sleep well and take care of yourself

“You…” Cordelia huffed.“Anyway, someone said that she’s going to take care of me forever!” Zephyr said, entitled.Cordelia gave him a punch. Why was he so shameless!? Then again, he would not be Zephyr if he had any shame.The man laughed and tickled her softly, causing her to bend over. Both of them messed around on the swing, their giggles resounding on the front porch. Ginger even stopped eating to look at them enviously.Cordelia was fair. Her face was pretty pink as she laughed.She was pinned under Zephyr. Her clear, wet eyes were expressive and only heated Zephyr up.His hand scooped her slim waist in one go, and she felt the strong manliness that rushed toward her.“Don’t…” Cordelia’s hand was against his chest. “We’re still outside!”Zephyr smirked. “I know… I didn’t say I was going to do anything!”Cordelia blushed harder.He ran his hand through her hair and spoke huskily next to her ear. “I’m just kissing you… Anything else, I’ll do it at night!”His lips came c

Nicholas’ icy gaze raked across everyone there.Dressed in a black suit, he was almost mercilessly impassive with a bloodthirsty sternness in his eyes. Those who stood around him were his underlings with actual guns and bullets.No entertainment company boss in Centrolis dared to have a lineup like that thus far.“Nothing happened between Ms. Adams and me,” Nicholas said strictly. “Before that grand event, I barely knew her. I felt weak after drinking the alcohol she passed me. Ha, I’ll be consulting my lawyer about this. If she spiked my drink, I must press charges!”A reckless reporter mocked him. “But Mr. Thompson, how can you prove that nothing happened between the two of you?”Nicholas’ expression was dark, while Ian could not hold himself back. He pulled a pistol out of his pocket, but Nicholas noticed it and stopped him with his eyes.“Mr. Thompson, please don’t avoid the question with silence.”Nicholas took a deep breath and smiled at the provocative reporter.“Don’t w

The charity auction on the weekend was grand. Famous people who gathered there were big names in the sphere of art collection.Cordelia was gradually more familiar with events like this. Perhaps it was the noble blood in her. As she stood among the crowd smiling in a gown, she was as if a glistening pearl.Janine happily introduced her to her business partners as well.“This is my daughter-in-law!“Yes, daughter-in-law!”The woman’s face was split open with a wide grin throughout the networking.“I know, right? Got myself a gem! Hahaha… Our Zephyr’s lucky!“What? Elder Mr. Hamerton doesn’t agree?” She immediately raised her voice, causing the people around them to look over.Cordelia tugged her discreetly.Janine did not care, though. She kept her voice raised. “Why does it matter if he agrees or not? Am I, or is he the one choosing a daughter-in-law!? The old man disliked me in the past, and now he wants to dislike my daughter-in-law too?“I refuse to accept this!”The auct

While the onlookers speculated, the sound of high heels echoed.Cordelia saw Nelly walk in on her high horse as the tassels of her shawl swayed with her movement. Her chin was tipped up as she looked down like she was scorning everyone—until she saw Cordelia.She paused, and her gaze stayed on Cordelia for a moment before a mocking smile pulled her lips up.“Ah, Ms. Tanner!” The auction host went to welcome her.Someone in the crowd said swiftly, “I heard that Mr. Tanner’s passed the whole Tanner Group to her!”“She’s the youngest female president among the four major families now! It’s no wonder her appearance was grander than a president’s!”Nelly slowly approached Cordelia. A flash of cold contempt gleamed in her eyes.“Ms. Jenner, it’s been a while!”“Yeah, it’s been a while.” Cordelia knew that Nelly did not have any good intentions. “Heh, what’s keeping you up recently, Ms. Tanner? Busy inheriting your family business?”“It’s alright!” Nelly crossed her arms. “Dad’s pass

Janine sighed and looked at the painting quietly.There were two double-winged fireflies on it, representing Xyla and Rowan. The forest that was the background was where they usually dated.It would be unnecessary if Xyla were to see it and be reminded of the sad past.That was why Janine did not plan to buy the painting. She wanted to raise the bidding price to donate more money to charity. It would be the best this painting could do.“Never mind, Cordelia…” She forced a smile. “Actually… Actually, I asked your mom, and she didn’t want to come.”“Oh.” Cordelia nodded in a daze and put down her phone.“This was her creation in youth. She doesn’t like it. Oh yeah, don’t bring this up to her when you go back, lest she overthinks it and thinks of the past.”Cordelia quickly replied, “Mm, I understand!” Although she could not share it with her mother, she felt proud to see her mother’s painting being auctioned today.“Our honorable guests, the auction will start soon!”The host

The nurses greeted Josiah friendlily. “Mr. Bayer, you’re here again!”Josiah smiled at them and headed straight to the hospital ward.The nurses had heart-shaped eyes as they gathered around to chat with grins.“Mr. Bayer is so handsome! Not bad at all compared to those hunks!”“Right? He’s not just good-looking, but he’s also devoted. He’s here every day while Ms. Kelly’s hospitalized… Sigh, it’s a pity that she doesn’t recognize him.”“Ms. Kelly’s a poor thing too. She got into an accident, and her father doesn’t even care… Lucky Mr. Bayer’s keeping her company every day.”Josiah pushed the door open and saw Kelly spacing out in bed. He forced a smile and walked over to her.“Are you feeling better today?” He wanted to pat her head, but she avoided him instinctively and stared at him as she hid to the side.Josiah was sad. It had been so long, and she was still unfamiliar with him. He forced a smile and kept his hand to pour her a glass of water and tell her a joke sitting ne

“You…” Rowan gave it a thought and asked softly, “Did you remember something?”Kelly jolted.“There’s nothing you can’t tell me.” Rowan’s smile was as if he knew everything. “Actually, from the first day I treated you, I knew that you were hiding something from everyone.“You didn’t remember something. You’ve never forgotten anything.”Kelly sat on the bed with her legs curled up as she bit her fist.After a moment of silence when Rowan was going to inject her, she grabbed his hand abruptly and looked with a pleading expression on her pale face.“Uncle Irwin, you’re a good person…” Even Kelly’s voice sounded pale. “Please don’t tell others!”Rowan automatically scanned the surrounding area of the hospital ward with a serious gaze. Confirming that there was no one else, he turned around swiftly and shut the door.“Some of the doctors and nurses around me are actually Nelly’s people,” Kelly said softly. “But I don’t know who they are, so I can only pretend to have lost my memory.

Rowan’s brows creased. He looked into the girl’s eyes. She was sick, but her eyes were full of life. They told him she already had an answer before she asked the question.She wanted to help Mandy and seek justice for herself.“You’ve thought through this?” asked Rowan. “Once these are exposed, the Tanners’ dirty laundry will be aired to the world. You’ll be implicated too.”“I’m not scared.” Kelly shook her head with a smile. “I’m dying soon. What’s there to be scared of?“But I can’t just sit around and watch them take advantage of my mom!”“Who says that you’re dying soon? Are you doubting my skills?” Rowan smiled. “Aren’t you afraid that your crush will be sad when you say that?”Kelly froze before a rare blush colored her pale cheeks.“Josiah is great. He’s more concerned about you than your father is!” Rowan took the syringe and injected her at the vein with ease.“My dad’s never been concerned about me.” Kelly chuckled self-deprecatingly. “He’s always scorned that I’m a
