The loud thud gave a squeeze to Cordelia’s heart. She snapped her head up and happened to see
William’s cold stare and a subtle smile at the corner of his lips.
After leaving the office, Yelena pulled her from behind before she could get out of the building.
“Stop!”
She turned her head, and Yelena’s slap came to her face!
Fortunately, she had come prepared. She dodged swiftly, and Yelena missed. As she was attempting to
slap her again, Cordelia grabbed her wrist tight!
Yelena’s stare was vicious, but Cordelia did not want to give in at all. She shook her off.
The share return documents were scattered on the floor. The blank part where William was supposed
to sign seemed extra ironic now.
Yelena screamed as if she had gone mad.
At that moment, Cordelia had a complicated feeling.
She thought about it from a different angle. If she and Carter had the same father and different mother,
she had been despising him since young, had tried everything to put him in trouble, and eventually
found out that he was not her brother, yet her mother had given him what belonged to her…

She took what belonged to Yelena, but she was not one of the Jenners. It was just absurd.
Cordelia took a deep breath. She wanted to stop Yelena from stirring trouble in the company.
However, just when she got close to her, Yelena suddenly turned around and tossed the cactus plant
on the counter at her!
“Ahh!” Cordelia was shocked and instinctively wrapped her arms around her head.
At that moment, a big figure came rushing. He hugged her and dodged aside!
The cactus crushed onto the floor.
The lobby fell into silence suddenly. The employees were dumbfounded as they watched.
Cordelia tried her best to suppress her racing heart. She lifted her eyes to look. “Hubby…”
Zephyr’s expression was so cold it was smothering. He stared ferociously at Yelena.
“Let’s go home, hubby.”
Zephyr patted her head. “Are you hurt?”
“No.”
He glanced at the documents scattered on the floor and scoffed. “That’s quite a lot of shares. Hah,
seems like Mr. Jenner is quite generous!”
“You…” Yelena wanted to say something, but she dared not due to his oppressively cold charisma.
“My wife was bullied by the Jenners for years. She deserves the compensation!”
“What a joke!” Yelena’s voice was shaky. She pretended to be calm. “She’s not my father’s daughter.
Why does she deserve the money?”
“So, Ms. Jenner is unwilling?”
Zephyr raised his voice. The place was silent.
Yelena stepped back in fear.
“My wife deserves those shares,” he said with a deep voice. “But she doesn’t care about this mere
money!”
Zephyr held Cordelia as they walked out. He kicked the documents on the floor away.
The majesty of the man seemed to have suppressed the entire lobby. Even after he left, nobody dared
to move.
…
Cordelia sat on the couch after getting home. She was strangely quiet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat worried Zephyr a little bit.
He poured her a glass of warm water and sat next to her. He placed his arm on her skinny shoulders
and pulled her close.
“What are you thinking about, wifey?”
As Cordelia held the glass, the security the man provided made her loosen her tensed body.
She chuckled and mumbled, “How nice it would be if I could hide in your embrace forever.”
“Why not?” He smiled. “Didn’t they say that one will spoil his lady like a kid if he really loves her?
“I’ll spoil you like you’re my daughter!”
Cordelia was stunned. She looked at him, not sure whether to laugh or cry.
“What? Do you want me to call you daddy?”
“That’d be… even better.” Zephyr squinted. He stuck his ear close to her and said in his deep and
husky voice. “Come on, call me daddy!”
“I hate you!”
Cordelia pushed him away while giggling. However, the man was like a wall, blocking her sturdily. He
looked like he was going to pounce on her…
