The meeting came to an end very soon.
Cordelia took a deep breath and suddenly felt a strange gaze following her. She looked around and met Chad’s
smirking gaze.
She was instantly unnerved.
Chad smiled at her. Out of courtesy, she forced a smile back and left hurriedly with her documents.
“Cordelia Jenner…” Chad sat on the chair as he watched her leave, looking like he did not have enough of it.
As expected of Imperial Media, it was really a place of talented individuals. The female celebrities were gorgeous in
their own way, but none was as captivating as Cordelia was to Chad.
He had been shooting for so many years, so he had seen plenty of beautiful women, but he had never come across
someone like Cordelia, who had delicate features and a faint distant sense to her.

Chad also found her name incredibly familiar.
After asking around, he discovered that she was also from Jangasas. It was only then he suddenly recalled that
William seemed to have two daughters, and one of them had the same name.
He made a call somewhere vacant as soon as he left the building.
Chad smiled, his features squeezed together. “William, how have you been doing?”
“Oh, the famous director has time to call me?”
Chad chuckled. He and William were old friends. Before he became famous, it was thanks to William’s investments
that he could shoot the films. Even when they were not played in cinemas, he had earned a good amount on some
rated websites.
Chad had never contacted William after getting famous, and the latter had once called him ungrateful. Now that he
was calling William again, he could hear the obvious mockery in the latter’s voice.
“Bro, don’t say that!” Chad chuckled. “I’m just a bit busier recently and don’t have the time. That’s why I can’t keep
catching up!”
“Just say what you want. Stop babbling nonsense with me!” William scoffed. “I hope it’s not for money? You’re an
international director now. Would you lack investment from me?”
“No, no…” Chad hurried to say, “I’m just catching up. How are your daughters?”
William paused. “What are you trying to say?”
Chad was direct as well. “You have a daughter named Cordelia Jenner, right?”
Silence greeted him on the other end of the line. It was after a long time that William’s low voice answered, “She
has… moved to Centrolis.”
Chad was delighted. This meant that Cordelia was really William’s daughter.

William was irritated. Cordelia was not his daughter, and he knew about it a long time ago. It was just that he had
been coveting the medical formulas Xyla had, and there would be a sum of money transferred from Southeast
Aciatic to Xyla’s account every month throughout these 20-something years.
William was greedy. While Cordelia was young and Xyla was ill, he claimed the money as his own. When the money
came from Southeast Aciatic each month, he would leave a small portion to Cordelia and Xyla—as long as they
would not starve to death—and the rest would go to his pocket.
The money and medical formulas he coveted were the reasons he refused to back off from Xyla all these years.
It was just that he did not expect Xyla to get better and that the one Cordelia had married was not Marcus but the
Hamerton heir in Centrolis!
His own daughter was also connected to the Hamertons, but she was just Yale’s plaything.
It felt like a thorn in William’s heart. His arrogance and pride made him run deeper into a dead alley. He could never
tell Chad the truth.
“Oh, yeah!” William went along with what Chad said, “Cordelia’s my illegitimate daughter. Why? Have you met
her?”
