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.

the vein with ease.
“My dad’s never been concerned about me.” Kelly chuckled self-deprecatingly. “He’s always scorned that I’m a
burden because of my congenital disease. He doesn’t even want to pay the thousands of dollars of medical fees
each month. If it weren’t for my mom’s insistence, he might have let me fend for myself, dead or alive.”
Rowan could not bear to hear something like this the most.
‘Daughters should be coddled and pampered. If it were Cordelia, forget hundreds of thousands of dollars, even if it
were millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, even if I had to go bankrupt, I would—
‘Wait, no!’
Rowan looked appalled and immediately stopped what he was thinking. Everything was fine. Why did he imagine his
daughter to be sick!?
“Uncle Irwin, I know my dad,” said Kelly. “He is prideful and has always kept the image of a good husband and good
father. There’s no way he’ll openly admit that he has an illegitimate daughter to the public.”
“So, this is a fatal blow to him.” Rowan smiled approvingly. “You’re really smart.”
“I just don’t know if I’m right about being smart in this…”
“Don’t think too much about it.” Rowan patted her head. “What you need the most now is to rest. I believe that
these things will be resolved appropriately in the end!”

The day the Tanner Group held a press conference, it shook a good half of Centrolis.
Nelly stood before the full dressing mirror and specifically picked a gown with griffon embroidery. The yellow dress
was adorned with thousands of diamonds, looking exceptionally lavish.
It was said that the design came from a famous embroidery family in Centrolis.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Nelly listened to the crowd’s fawning words and watched the servants get down to put on a pair of extravagant
satin high heels for her, her pride peaked.
Would anyone dare call her an illegitimate daughter or someone from the orphanage from now on? Would anyone
dare say that she was not worthy of Zephyr?
Even if Zephyr refused to marry her, she could find someone better than him and marry him. It was just that she
would continue to cling to Zephyr just to annoy Cordelia!
Nelly smirked, triumphant and vicious.
When the press conference started, Joe announced that he would pass the Tanner Group to Nelly in front of
everyone. The guests congratulated them as Nelly socialized amongst the crowd, and Joe wore a pleased smile.
“Mr. Tanner.” Their friends in business came forward with a toast. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. It’s
expected of your daughter. Ms. Nelly has the looks of a boss!”
“Do look after our Nelly from now on!”
“We’re all friends! No need to be so courteous!”
