“Of course, you can!” Yelena replied without any hesitation.
She felt it was alright for her to bring her best friend. After all, she was certain that her best friend must
be someone from a wealthy and powerful family.
‘I wonder if she’s one of the four big families from Centrolis or not. If I can gain her favor, it’ll help me a
lot in the future!’
With that thought in mind, Yelena approached Zennie and said, “Where is your friend now, Ms.
Hamerton? If she doesn’t have transport, I can send someone to pick her up! Don’t worry. I promise
you that I’ll bring her here safely!”
“That’s not necessary.” Zennie smiled. “My friend came with me, and she’s upstairs now. It’s just that
the Jenners are the hosts of this event, so I figured that I should get your permission first if I wanted to
bring my friend here.”
“Don’t mention it, Ms. Hamerton,” Yelena chuckled. She turned around and ordered a few waiters.
“Bring Ms. Hamerton’s friend to the main table later.”
Zennie raised her brows. “Ms. Jenner, are you sure that your parents and you aren’t going to sit at the
main table?”

presence has brought light to this event!”
She tried her best to curry favor with Zennie.
“Ms. Hamerton, you should call your friend and join us now. It isn’t appropriate to leave her alone in the
room.”
“Alright, then.”
Zennie turned around and made a call.
Soon, the door to the banquet was open once again. Everyone turned their heads around in chorus,
curious about who Zennie’s friend might be.
Yelena craned her neck and tried to look past the crowd.
However, little did she expect that the person who walked through the door was…
Cordelia!?
Yelena felt as if someone had bashed her head with a hammer, and her mind went blank for a moment.
William and Joanne’s expressions changed as well. They all looked at Cordelia with their eyes bulging
so wide that they might fall out of their sockets at any time.
‘Zennie’s best friend is… her? How can this be happening!?’
Everyone put their heads together and mumbled while observing Cordelia with a strange gaze.
Even though they were shocked by her presence, they had to admit that Cordelia indeed looked a lot
prettier after Zennie helped her with her dress and makeup.
While she was walking side by side with Zennie, both of them looked just like a pair of sisters who
came out of a fairyland, and everyone in the hall was dazzled by their beauty.
“This is my best friend.” Zennie smiled. “I’m sure you don’t need me to introduce her to you, right?”
Yelena’s face turned pale. She clenched her fists tightly, and her lips were trembling so much that she
could not utter a single word.
“C-Cordelia?” William’s trembling voice wafted into their years. “You’re Ms. Hamerton—”
“We’ve been good friends for a long time, Mr. Jenner,” Zennie interrupted him. After that, she looked at
Cordelia and asked, “Have you never told your family about me, Cordelia? How could you do this to
me?”
Cordelia just looked at her with a smile on her face.
“No way!” Yelena shouted, bringing everyone’s focus back to her. “What the hell are you doing here,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCordelia? There’s no way someone like you would be her friend! Besides, didn’t you already—”
“Already what?” William frowned.
Yelena stopped midway through her sentence, and her face became even darker.
“What are you so nervous about, Yelena?” Cordelia smiled gently while shooting a sharp gaze at
Yelena. “Why do you look so surprised to see me here?”
Yelena shot daggers at her and bit her lips tightly.
“My sister brought me to the basement, so it took me quite a while to get out of there.” Cordelia smiled
coldly. “But my sister was kind enough to let in a few rats to keep me company. I guess they must be
your pets, right?”
“You…”
“What did you say?” William’s face sank, and he looked at Yelena. “You locked Cordelia up with a few
rats in the basement?”
Yelena was shaking profusely as she looked fearfully at her father.
“How dare you!?” snarled Willian.
He was not interested to know how Cordelia had ended up becoming Zennie’s best friend. He just
knew that the person who was holding Zennie’s hand right now was Cordelia!
