Nelly raised her voice. “This is a tacit understanding between the Hamerton and Tanner elders!”
Cordelia smiled and said gently, “Ms. Tanner, I’m rather ignorant. I don’t quite understand things like ‘tacit
understanding’.
“I wonder, if the adults of both families approve and understand each other, and Zephyr doesn’t reject it, why is it
‘tacit’? Since it’s not announced, it means that both families still have reservations about this marriage.
“Or perhaps…” Cordelia said, looking Nelly in the eyes, “Zephyr doesn’t even acknowledge it!”
“You—”
Nelly was flustered.
Cordelia raised her hand to run it through her hair. The big emerald jade ring on her ring finger exuded
extraordinary loftiness and affection.
It stung Nelly’s eyes. She was resentful but knew she could not show it on her face, no matter how furious she was.
This was the Bayers’ place. If she got into a fight with Cordelia here, she would be ruining the Tanners’ image.

Nelly suppressed the rage and jealousy within her and forced a smile after glaring at Cordelia.
“You have a sharp tongue, Ms. Jenner. It’s no wonder Zephyr likes you. But some things are still pointless even if
Zephyr likes them.” She scoffed. “He has the whole Hamerton family behind him. His marriage is tied to the
interests of the family!”
Cordelia looked down and stroked the emerald ring on her finger.
“Don’t think that you can decide on his marriage privately and step into the Hamertons just because you
exchanged rings. Ms. Jenner, the Hamertons’ door isn’t so easy to enter.” Nelly went closer to her and said in a low
tone, “But I can see that you like Zephyr a lot, and having someone like you by his side can tie him down. It’s better
than him going to some random woman outside.”
Cordelia looked at her coldly. “What are you trying to say?”
On the other side…
Robert walked in front like he was threatened—behind him was Janine.
He dared not turn around because that would make him meet Janine’s unflinching and unnerving eyes.
Who would dare interrupt Mr. Z Hamerton when he was changing? Still, Robert dared not provoke his boss’ birth
mother either.
He lamented hundreds of times in his mind and stopped in front of a room. He chuckled dryly at Janine. “Madam
Baker, i-it’s here.”
“He isn’t done yet?”
“He’ll probably be out soon.”
Janine knocked on the door directly. “Zephyr, stop stalling! Come out and meet someone with me!”
Zephyr felt a headache upon seeing his mother when he opened the door.
“Mom, can you just give up? How many times do you want me to tell you? I’m not interested in the person you
mentioned!”
“Interest can be developed!” retorted Janine. “What were you interested in other than eating when you were
younger? It’s all my teachings and training that others have the illusion you’re gifted…”

“Hurry up, come with me!”
Zephyr scowled. “I need to use the washroom!”
“Hold it in!” growled Janine.
Robert could not hold back and let a chuckle escape, but he quickly clamped his mouth shut.
“Zephyr Hamerton, if you must go to the washroom, I’ll take the girl and look for you there! Make up your mind!”
Janine left after she spoke.
Zephyr glared at her back, his face turning purple from holding back his rage.
“Mr. Zephyr, it’s actually fine to have a quick meeting,” Robert reminded him softly, “Don’t forget that Ms. Jenner’s
going to meet Madam Baker tonight. It’s best that you don’t get into a conflict with the queen now. Think of it as
doing this for Ms. Jenner. Hurry!”
Zephyr actually shared the same thought. He would meet the girl and make it clear—it was better than dragging it
on like this.
“Mm, I’ll go now,” he replied. “Go to Cordelia. Don’t keep her waiting. Take her to the room or get Zennie to keep
her company.
“And… she mustn’t know who I’m meeting, understand?”
