Joe clinked glasses with them.The doors opened at that moment, and the venue quieted abruptly. The chandelier on the hall’s ceiling was the only one making a soft clicking noise.Cordelia was smiling as she walked toward Joe and Nelly.Nelly’s expression changed instantly. She was going to lash out, but Joe stopped her discreetly.“Her status is unlike last time now. We’ll still meet in the future. Hold it in!”Nelly took a deep breath and looked at Cordelia coldly.“Why didn’t you tell me about such a joyous occasion today?” Cordelia smiled nonchalantly. “Ms. Tanner, do you still hold a grudge against me?”“Very funny, Ms. Jenner. That usually happens when people are close. You and I don’t seem to even be friends yet!”“Oh… people who are close?” Cordelia smiled. “What a coincidence. I brought your best friend here today. It’d be best if you two could resolve any grudges you have in front of everyone!”“What did you say?” Nelly’s heart dropped.Joe stepped forward with narr

“So, you still remember me, Ms. Tanner!” Mona scoffed.Nelly was startled. Mona’s gaze on her no longer looked like she saw her as a best friend.“Why… Why are you here?” Nelly went up to chide her softly. “You want to embarrass me like them too? Don’t forget, could you be popular without me?”“Yeah.” Mona’s voice was quivering. “Nelly Tanner, I wouldn’t have ended up like this if it weren’t for you!”She pulled the scarf off her face as she spoke. The deep scars on her face shocked Nelly.“This is what you gave me!”“Liar!” Nelly stumbled back. “I’ve never asked anyone to mutilate your face!”“Hah, not you, but everything’s because of you!”Mona faced the crowd. They were shocked when they saw the wounds on her face.“I’m here today to expose Ms. Nelly Tanner!“She’s the one who asked me to seduce Mr. Thompson and drug him. She’s also the one who got the press to cook things up. That’s how Mrs. Thompson got triggered and lost her baby!”“Mona!” Nelly shrieked. “Are you craz

Chapter 443

Zephyr looked at Nelly in repulse and shook her off.Cordelia held his arm and looked at Nelly icily.Nelly still wanted to cling to Zephyr, but the bodyguard stepped forth and shoved her to the floor.The doors were opened again. This time, Mandy came in, wheeling Kelly. The latter was pale and frail in the wheelchair, but the determination in her eyes frightened Nelly.“Mandy, Kelly…” Joe was sweating profusely with a nervous expression. “Why are you both here?”Mandy scoffed, “Are we supposed to watch you hand the family business over to this scornful, vicious b*tch otherwise?”“Mandy!”Joe wanted to overpower her, but she tossed a document to him.“Joe Tanner, you must have forgotten about our prenup, huh?”“What?” Joe paled as he read the prenup with bulged eyes.It was only then that he recalled that Mandy’s family, the Chrisses, had asked him to sign a prenup before they married over 20 years ago. The prenup had accounted for their premarital assets. When the Tanner Gr

Joe picked up the papers from the floor with trembling hands and read them sheet after sheet.Mandy gripped the wheelchair handles so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She saw her daughter’s jerking shoulders and patted her.The papers that Kelly had thrown were countless photocopied sets, so almost everyone there could get one to themselves. As they went through the DNA test report and the injury assessment reports, they threw despising and abhorring glances at Nelly and Joe.“Hypocrites!”“Despicable!”Everyone hit the man who was down—Nelly and Joe stood rooted pathetically like they were tied to the gallows.“Dad, you probably don’t know how Nelly has been bullying me all these years, huh?” Kelly asked shakily, “Hah, or did you know and give your silent permission for her to do it?”“No, no!” Joe panicked. “Kelly, you’re my daughter too. Even though you’re sick, I’ve never thought of giving up on you, right?”“Don’t touch my daughter!” Mandy pushed him away resentfull

“Thanks for the trouble, Chief Sheridan.” Nicholas smiled.Thomas waved, and someone pulled Joe up from the floor right away.Joe shouted as he struggled, “You… You’re on his side! Don’t you know that Nicholas Thompson’s a gangster!?”“Mr. Tanner!” Thomas snorted, “Mr. Thompson’s the CEO of Sol Entertainment. He’s contributed significantly to the development of film and TV culture, and he will participate in the top ten outstanding youths of Centrolis next year! Do you mean that our mayor can’t distinguish right and wrong?”Joe widened his eyes speechlessly.“I have to thank Mr. Thompson for being here in advance, so you didn’t get away!”“B-But don’t you see his underlings? Those guns…”“I was going to turn in these guns!” Nicholas smiled.“Chief Sheridan, I have a friend who works specifically with the police at the border to crush various firearm smuggling activities. These guns are what he’s collected, and I’m passing them to you now. It’s my duty as a Centrolis citizen!”

“In the past, I thought that it would be fine as long as Nelly didn’t hurt my mom. I didn’t have many days left to live anyway, so I’d protect my mom like this.“But Nelly became worse after that, so I kept my guard up. I sneaked to get my injuries checked each time I went to the hospital, and later, I managed to get the DNA test report.“Then that night…” Kelly’s voice grew softer with a hint of a smile. “I met someone who made me make up my mind.”Cordelia knew that it was Josiah.If it were not for that night, Kelly would not have been so eager to seek justice for herself. It was because she had met Josiah that a ray of light shone into the darkness that was her life and allowed her to keep going unwaveringly.“It’s just because I met him,” Kelly said softly. “That I want the whole world to know about my existence. I want to… stand properly next to him.”Cordelia was moved, feeling a pinch on her nose.“Josiah won’t let you down.” She looked into Kelly’s eyes. “Kelly, you’ve

“Hey, don’t touch it!” Xyla swatted the back of Cordelia’s hand.“There are only two pieces in the box. I’ll have to make them again if you ruin them!”“Mom…” Cordelia looked at her in puzzlement. “Why am I bringing this to Elder Mr. Hamerton? I haven’t eaten this that much myself!”“Silly girl!” Xyla said with a smile, “Back where we come from, this is what we use to show our respect for the elders!”“Back where we come from?” Cordelia looked at her with widened eyes.Growing up, she had always thought that Jangasas was her hometown.Xyla’s face fell upon realizing that she had said too much.“You… You don’t have to bring it if you don’t want to,” she said softly. “The other presents are quite valuable too. The Hamertons won’t look down on you!”After saying that, she returned to her room, leaving Cordelia to stay dazed in the living room with furrowed brows for some time.On the day of the meeting…Janine, who planned to work overtime, canceled two meetings in a row and ste

They answered simultaneously, “Who’s here with him(her)!?”Zephyr was puzzled. They looked like they had just had a big fight. He also vaguely saw two people conversing when he walked over, now realizing that it was them.Zephyr was thoughtful, not knowing what the grudge was between them.“Hey!” Rowan widened his eyes when he saw Zephyr. “Why are you still here? Aren’t you taking your girlfriend to meet your elder today?”“I’m going to pick her up.”“Then hurry up!” Rowan wanted nothing more than to kick Zephyr’s bottom.“Mr. Irwin.” Zephyr frowned. “You—”“A ghost covered my eyes, and I took the wrong way!” Rowan rolled his eyes and slipped into his car.Zephyr looked at his mother in confusion when he drove off. Before he could ask about it, she exclaimed, “Ugh, unlucky!”“Mom, what’s going on?”“I saw a ghost in broad daylight!”Zephyr was exasperated. “Mom, you know Rowan Irwin?”Janine fell silent with a glum expression. It only made Zephyr more certain in assuming th

Liam’s study was huge, like a library. The bookshelves were as high as the ceiling and were filled with famous books by experts in various fields.Even then, an echo could still be heard from each step taken.Cordelia sat on the couch and grasped the hem of her skirt anxiously. Zephyr intertwined their fingers together lightly and gave her a reassuring smile.Liam sat at the table in a suit. Although he was old, he looked well and lively. As he scanned Cordelia, his gaze was cryptic and complicated.“Ms. Cordelia, please have tea.” He was polite to her.Cordelia nodded lightly and watched how Zephyr did it before she drank the tea. She took a small sip slowly like him.Liam could see that she was a smart girl. She was not reckless and rash. Even with Zephyr by her side, she knew her manners and knew to keep a distance from him before her elders.If it were others, they might already be doing what they wanted, knowing they had Zephyr’s support.Liam wore an unnoticeable smile.

The chauffeur chuckled dryly and blamed his hands. He had actually steered them to Yale Residence!Who in the entire Splendor Mountain did not know about the grudges between the eldest and the third heir?“Nothing, nothing!” The chauffeur quickly turned the car around. “That place is not so good. It’s not too… lucky to go near it!”“Really?” Cordelia was skeptical.Those houses looked beautiful as well and seemed rather luxurious. Those who stayed in there should be someone Elder Mr. Hamerton was fond of too.“Ms. Cordelia, let me take you elsewhere—”Before the chauffeur finished his sentence, someone rushed out from the path at the side. He was alarmed and stomped on the brake. Cordelia nearly hit the seat in front of her due to the momentum. She was even more shocked when she calmed down and saw who it was.“Yelena?”“Cordelia… Cordelia!”Yelena’s hair was disheveled, and she did not have any makeup put on. She looked haggard, especially with how abnormally thin she was.
