The result was out, and the child was not related to Noah as expected.
Zephyr’s hand shook a little as he clutched the piece of paper. Although he was mentally prepared, he could not
help his rage when he saw the result with his own eyes.
Although Liam doted on him when he was younger, the Hamertons fought and schemed against each other, so he
had not received much warmth from there.
It was on his maternal grandfather’s side that shone a ray of light on his cold childhood. Zephyr especially could not
forget his uncle’s affection for him. He would carry him on his shoulders, give him horsey rides, and take him
fighting with wooden swords.
He was young and did not know how to hold back, always hitting and bruising his uncle, but the latter had never
blamed him, merely grinning at him without much care.
Each time he returned to Centrolis from Chaiseland, he would cry and bawl about not wanting to leave his Uncle
Noah…
Now, however, Zephyr would break his uncle’s bubble with his own hand.
He took a deep breath and bit his lips.
Cordelia stayed close to him. “Zephyr, what do we do next?”
“Like what we’ve agreed on,” he replied seriously. “This farce should come to an end.”
…
Ava was hiding in Chuck’s apartment when she received Trinity’s call.
It had been days since she went out, and what was weird was that the Bakers had not sent anyone after her. Even
Hannah’s hospitalization was found out through their family servant.
She had asked the servant not to disclose her whereabouts, but the servant answered weakly, “Miss, no one at
home seems to be concerned.”
Ava’s heart dropped.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was really redundant in the Bakers. For years, she did not manage to make her presence matter. Instead,
others were disdainful toward her!
When thinking about that, resentment and grievance rushed into Ava.
She had to star in the movie and shoot to stardom! She wanted those who looked down on her to beg her on their
knees!
“What’s gotten into you?” Chuck came out lazily from the bathroom in a robe and saw Ava, distracted by the
window.
She had been distracted in bed just now, making him lose interest and the mood that he could only end it hastily.
“You don’t even know how to keep a man happy. All you know is being dazed here!” Chuck lit up a cigarette and
plopped himself down on the couch. “You can’t even compare to your mother!”
Ava turned back to look at him.
The man was vile and ugly. She was disgusted when she was with him, and it was already a favor to him that she
could moan. What more did he want!?
However, Ava could only fume inwardly. She contemplated and went over to snuggle him, saying coyly, “Uncle
Chuck, I haven’t gone out for days and have been keeping you happy all day long… I’m just a little tired!”
Chuck snorted and pinched her chin. “So, you want to go out?”
“I…” Ava paused. “I want to act.”
“Act what?” Chuck narrowed his eyes.
“Ms. Lulham’s film! She called me again.”
“Ms. Lulham? Trinity Lulham?” Chuck recalled that he had previously wanted to use her production to launder his
money.
“Yeah! Ms. Lulham regards me highly and has been keeping the female lead role empty for me. She even asked me
to attend the press release a week later!”
The more Chuck listened to it, the more he found it a trap.
How many awards had Trinity won, and what kind of award-winning actresses had she never met? Why would she
have eyes on Ava, who was more like a wooden sculpture?
Using Ava as the female lead previously was because she came with funds. 15,000,000 in Eropah dollars was not a
small sum. That was pulled out now!
Had Trinity lost her mind?
“Uncle Chuck!” Ava shook his arm coquettishly. “Let me act in it! This movie is really important to me. I’m aiming to
win an award with it!”
“Well…” Chuck looked at her. “It’s impossible that the Baker Group has no money! Figure out a way to get it from
them!”
“Uncle Chuck, you…” Ava was instantly tearful.
This was the outcome she got in exchange for days of torment by him? She could not accept that!
As soon as Chuck saw her tears, he lost his composure and quickly pulled her into his arms to coax her like she was
a precious gem.
“The Baker Group has no money now anyway!” Ava sobbed. “The production lacks funds right now. As long as I can
get it, I will be the female lead, and Trinity will listen to me no matter how I want to change up the script!
“Are you investing or not, Uncle Chuck!? If you’re not investing, am I telling all the press in next week’s launch that
we’re not shooting the film anymore?
“I can’t do something so embarrassing!”
Ava threw herself to the couch and wailed.
Her cry stirred something in Chuck, and he suddenly had an evil thought looking at her back…
Out of the blue, he pinned her down from the back! Ava was caught at a loss and cried in pain, “Ah…”
“Mm, good!” Chuck looked gratified. “I’ll invest! Baby, you just had to do this earlier…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAva was assured then. Her hard work did not go to waste. It would be fine if she held out just a little more…
While they hooked up, they did not realize that there was a gap in the door. Hannah stood outside with a pale face
and trembling body.
…
Cordelia sorted through all the evidence.
It would certainly stir a tide this time, but they had fortunately informed Janine discreetly beforehand.

With Janine being the spine of the Bakers, the commotion would surely be settled soon.
It was close to Cordelia’s expected delivery due date, so she dared not spend too much time outside. Aurelia would
sometimes come over to chat with her or send her handmade baby clothes and socks, so intricately made that they
were better than what was sold out there.
Cordelia asked her if she had thought about living elsewhere, like Southeast Aciatic.
A sparkle flashed in Aurelia’s eyes before they dimmed swiftly.
“You mean uncle’s place?” She shook her head with a smile. “No need!”
“Why?”
“I don’t want to trouble him!”
Cordelia held her hand and smiled. “But he might like you troubling him?”
Aurelia’s heart squeezed, and she did her best to calm her thumping heart.
“There’s really no need,” she said softly like she was telling herself.
“Hah, Cordelia, you’ve probably misunderstood.” She looked up and said with a smile, “Did you think I like uncle?
Hahaha… how’s that possible!? I’m used to living freely alone. I don’t want to like anyone or be liked by anyone. I
just want to keep living this freely!
“So be it that I have no immigration status! I can feed myself, and I just have to be more careful usually, heh… I’ve
spent the last 18 years like this! It’s not a problem!”
Aurelia’s smile was still bright like sunshine, but the gloomy cloud behind her smile cast a shade only over her heart.
