Hannah offered. She wanted to wait for the latter to expose herself.

“Mm.” Zephyr lowered his voice. “What’s the situation?”

He does everything abominable and seems to be on money laundering recently!”
Zephyr nodded and had his guess.
“Where did he get so much money from?”

“Hey, you can’t just go in like this!” Aurelia went forward to pull her but stumbled from being pushed.
“Where do you come from? How dare you lay your dirty hand on me? Open your cheap eyes! I’m Mrs. Baker!
Zephyr Hamerton’s aunt!”
Aurelia froze.
Hannah scoffed and continued to go inside but acted like a different person once she was in there. She called out
warmly downstairs, “Cordelia! My darling Cordelia, are you home? I’m here to visit, hahaha…”
