The charity auction on the weekend was grand. Famous people who gathered there were big names in the sphere

of art collection.

Cordelia was gradually more familiar with events like this. Perhaps it was the noble blood in her. As she stood

among the crowd smiling in a gown, she was as if a glistening pearl.

Janine happily introduced her to her business partners as well.

“This is my daughter-in-law!

“Yes, daughter-in-law!”

The woman’s face was split open with a wide grin throughout the networking.

“I know, right? Got myself a gem! Hahaha… Our Zephyr’s lucky!

“What? Elder Mr. Hamerton doesn’t agree?” She immediately raised her voice, causing the people around them to

look over.

Cordelia tugged her discreetly.

Janine did not care, though. She kept her voice raised. “Why does it matter if he agrees or not? Am I, or is he the

one choosing a daughter-in-law!? The old man disliked me in the past, and now he wants to dislike my daughter-in-

law too?

“I refuse to accept this!”

The auction hall went quieter than the vacuum of outer space.

Cordelia felt warmth gush in her heart and felt like crying, holding Janine’s hand.

Over ten seconds of silence later, people began to whisper comments.

“So… Madam Baker’s getting her message across to Elder Mr. Hamerton indirectly?”

“I think she isn’t taking Ms. Jenner as daughter-in-law because she likes her. It’s because Elder Mr. Hamerton hates

her. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. This is still the grudge between the Bakers and the Hamertons!”

“Aren’t you being a little too superficial? Madam Baker’s a smart woman. No matter how big their grudge is, it’s

impossible that she’d embarrass him completely. If she really didn’t like Ms. Jenner, she wouldn’t defend her like

this.”

“Hmm, makes sense…”

Janine smiled at Cordelia and marched forward in confidence.

“No matter what others say, don’t lower your head,” Janine said with a pat on the back of her hand. “Or your crown

will fall!”

Cordelia smiled as well and walked on with the same composure.

“Aunt Janine, how nice would it be when I get to be like you!”

“Me?” Janine raised her brows. “Hah, silly girl, your mother was even better than me when she was younger!”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I learned from her. Speaking of which, your mom’s the real lady. I’d feel inferior in front of her!”

Cordelia smiled.

How could Janine feel inferior? She was just going along with Xyla in everything because she cared about this friend

too much.

That was why Cordelia was curious. Why was there a 20-year gap when both of them were so close?

“Aunt Janine, I’ve always wanted to ask my mom, but I’m scared of reminding her sad past… What happened

between you two back then that you broke off your friendship for so long?”

Janine was silent for a moment before she answered with a chuckle, “Not that we broke it off. It’s… over a man. We

had a disagreement.”

Cordelia widened her eyes.

Janine immediately knew that she had misunderstood it upon seeing her expression. “Oh dear, what are you

thinking? How could I possibly fight over a guy with your mom!?”

“Oh…” Cordelia chuckled dryly. “Then?”

“Because I didn’t like the guy!” Janine answered directly.

Cordelia stared at her dumbly again.

What kind of man was it that Janine was still so angry when he was mentioned today?

Janine thought about it. When Rowan’s refined rascal look flashed in her mind, she waved a hand with a frown.

“Never mind, I’m not talking about the j*rk. It’s bad luck!

“Anyway, just don’t bring it up to your mom. It’s the past. Let bygones be bygones. We have to keep looking

forward!”

Cordelia nodded. It was at the same time a commotion broke out in the venue.

The doors opened with bodyguards rushing in to stand on both sides. Everyone’s gazes focused there.

“Who is it to be coming so grandly!?”
