Ava broke out, wailing, and told Hannah everything.
Hannah frowned as she listened and scolded Ava for spoiling their plan.
“You foolish child! Why did you ask where Zephyr was out of the blue? She could guess right away that you have
eyes for him! That’s his wife. How could she allow it?
“Besides, they’re married. You have no business in whatever workout they want to do behind closed doors.” Hannah
paced back and forth, sighing heavily. “Even if Cordelia had a good impression of you previously, it’s gone with what
you just said!”
Ava calmed down and thought that her mother made sense. She bit her lip and looked at Hannah tearfully,
muttering in a soft voice, “Then… what should I do now?”
Hannah rolled her eyes.
“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask!?”
“Mom, I don’t think that’s the case with Cordelia?” Ava was hopeful. “She was quite nice during the call and said
that she sees me as her only friend and hopes I help her more!”

“I…” Ava hung her head.
Hannah fretted. “Ava, we have to win this one back… Cordelia has Zephyr’s baby now. That’s the precious gem of
both the Hamertons and Bakers! You mustn’t fight her at this time, understand?
“If something happens to her and you’re to be blamed, you won’t ever get out of it!”
Ava pouted, agreeing on the surface but was inwardly indignant.
She could not see how her mother was so cautious and timid. She only knew to go to Noah, cry whenever
something happened, and have her mentally challenged husband to step up for her.
He was just a mentally challenged man. How capable could he be?
Janine had sole power in the Bakers, and Hannah and Ava had been oppressed by her all these years. There was
now Cordelia too!
Ava could not swallow the pill even when her mother could.
“Hey, I’m talking to you. Did you hear me?” Hannah poked Ava’s head.
“I heard you, I heard you!” Ava forced a smile. “Mom, don’t worry, I’ll get along well with Cordelia.”
“Mm.” Hannah was pacified. “Then what’s your plan?”
Ava thought about it. “They mistook Cordelia as an intern and picked on her the other day, right? I’ll catch them
and let her punish them to vent her anger!”
Hannah contemplated and nodded.
“That works too. But don’t actually penalize them. Let Cordelia punish them harshly. You will then speak up for
them, and they’ll be thankful for you and hold grudges against her!”
“I know, mom!”

The next morning, Cordelia spent over an hour on the phone with Ava, meeting Zephyr’s helpless gaze when she
went downstairs.
“Who were you on the phone with? Breakfast’s gone cold!”
As he spoke, he picked up the plate to the kitchen to warm it up for her.

“What? Why are you looking at me like this?” Zephyr grinned, feeling full of himself. “Did your husband get more
handsome?”
“Yeah.” Cordelia’s gaze was begrudging as she stroked his face. “My husband’s so handsome that girls are all over
him. I’m so annoyed!”
Alarmed, Zephyr nearly dropped the plate.
‘Another trap question!?’
“Honey, I—”
“Never mind!” Cordelia smiled and stopped teasing him. “My husband’s not someone like that!”
It was only then Zephyr breathed in relief.
”It was your dear cousin Ava just now.”
Zephyr’s brows locked into a frown. “Why did she call?”
“I got mistaken as an intern and was picked on when I went to the Bakers’ headquarters one day,” Cordelia said
nonchalantly. “Ava said that she wants to punish those employees in front of me as payback, so she insists that I go
to the company today.”
