Nelly froze. She moved her lips but could not say anything.
Cordelia smiled and walked out of the restroom gracefully.
She had not wanted to fight for anything, but someone had to provoke her, so she did not mind battling to the end
either. Since she had boldly claimed that she was the lady of the Hamertons, she had to show it.
She confidently walked into the banquet hall and stood next to Zephyr, holding his arm lightly with grace and
composure.
“Mm, this dress is a good choice.” Zephyr smiled. “Everyone’s looking at you.”
“Could your choice for me go wrong?” She stood next to him endearingly.
Robert entered with a few business partners from Feranche.
Zephyr nodded with a polite smile and exchanged pleasantries with them. Just when he was going to introduce
Cordelia to them, Nelly suddenly walked out from the side.

Her appearance immediately attracted some gazes.
Some people there more or less knew about the Hamertons and Tanners’ relationship. In their impression, Zephyr
and Nelly’s marriage was fixed. It was thus unexpected that the man brought another woman back when he
returned from Jangasas.
The outside world had plenty of speculations about this woman, but none could be sure. It was until today that they
got to see her from afar.
Despite that, Nelly was also here…
The crowd watched on like they knew there would be a good show.
Nelly walked to Zephyr charmingly and intentionally glanced at Cordelia, who was next to him.
“Zephyr, I invited these partners here! I also brought the interpreter.”
Zephyr nodded without any expression.
Nelly turned around and gave the interpreter a look.
The interpreter understood it instantly and went up to tell the men in Feransai, “Welcome to the signing ceremony.
Mr. Hamerton and Ms. Tanner will—”
“Mr. Hamerton and Ms. Tanner?” One of the Feranche men interrupted and looked confused.
He then looked at Cordelia with an awkward smile.
This was exactly what Nelly wanted. She felt victorious. A bumpkin like Cordelia could not even understand Feransai,
while the languages Zephyr learned were Chaisene and Espany. He did not understand Feransai either!
“It’s fine.” She looked at the interpreter and smiled. “Go on!”
The interpreter nodded.
When she was going to resume, Cordelia suddenly smiled and introduced herself to the guests in extremely
accurate and fluent Feransai.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Cordelia Jenner. I’m here with Mr. Hamerton today. We’ll be hosting you after the signing

“Oh!” It was only then the Feranche guests smiled in relief and went up to greet her. “Ms. Jenner, nice to meet
you!”
“Thank you.”
“Are you Mr. Hamerton’s dance partner?”
“Of course.” Cordelia was gracious.
Zephyr held her with an affectionate gaze. After that, he told the Feranche guests also in Feransai, “The interpreter
wasn’t too professional. She misinterpreted the names. It won’t do.
“My wife and I will be your company for the night. My wife’s Feransai is excellent. She can interpret for you!”
“Ah!” The Feranche men’s eyes lit up as they grinned. “It’s Mr. Hamerton’s wife, I see!”
The crowd’s gazes were on Cordelia now. They were surprised as they exchanged whispered comments and
discussed Cordelia’s background.
Nelly looked awful as she gaped at Cordelia and Zephyr.
