Chapter 112


    After all, it was just a dinner.


    Taking a deep breath in, Cordelia forced a smile. She thought she would stay for a little bit and then


    leave with an excuse.


    When she stepped onto the hotel stairs, a figure suddenly shed by before she even got into the


    banquet entrance.


    “Yo, you really came?”


    Yelena crossed her arms and looked at her arrogantly. There was a disdainful smile on her face.


    Cordelia was stunned. One must say that the former had dressed up well today. The bright red


    mermaid dressplimented her body, as well as her skin tone.


    Inparison, Cordelia’s ordinary ck and white dress looked in.


    Yelena frowned. “Cordelia, didn’t I tell you that Ms. Hamerton is tonight''s guest of honor? Are you


    trying to humiliate the Jenners by dressing like this?!”


    “You said it’s a charity dinner,” Cordelia said tly. “Should I dress like a clown to a charity dinner?”


    “What did you say!?”


    “The dinner’s main objective is charity, not some Ms. Hamerton.” Cordelia nced at her. “I think it’s


    good enough as long as I look proper. The dinner''s intention will be lost if one dresses too boastfully


    to gain attention.”


    Yelena’s face was flushing and turning pale from the rage. However, she should hold it back since


    there were many guests around. She could only speak softly with a fierce tone.


    “You b*tch! Do you think you know better than me?”


    “I wouldn’t dare.” Cordelia chuckled. “You’re the one who held the dinner. I’m just here to see how


    capable you are!”


    Yelena squinted. Cordelia was going to walk by her, but Yelena rushed forward to stop her.


    “The guests are entering. Your attire is a humiliation!”


    “Okay.” Cordelia stared into her eyes. “I’ll leave, then.”


    “Wait!” Yelena was domineering. “Dad asked you toe, yet you’re leaving. Are you trying to get


    me in trouble?”


    Cordelia was rendered speechless. She stood where she was in silence.


    “Okay.” Yelena snickered. “I’ll drive you home. We happened to be cleaningtely, and the maids


    gathered some old stuff… Hah, I thought they were your mother’s stuff, so I asked them not to throw


    them out. I saved them for you.”


    “What?”


    Cordelia was quite shocked.


    However, X used to be the Jenners’ maid. It made sense that she had left some personal


    belongings behind.


    It was just that she could not understand. How would Yelena be so kind to keep those things for her


    mother?


    “Why are you looking at me like that!?” Yelena pouted and walked in front of her intentionally. She


    had calmed down by now.


    “Actually, I think dad is right. We’re sisters, after all. We should take care of each other… That


    aside, I should repay you for going with the marriage with the Grists for me.


    “Saving your mothers’ things should be considered my repayment to you. Cordelia, we’re even


    now!”

    Cordelia pursed her lips. She figured perhaps Yelena was not entirely evil.


    Humans wereplicated, and one’s heart would change.


    No matter how evil a person was, perhaps she had a kind side.


    “Come home with me now to collect your mother’s stuff!” Yelena looked at her. “The guests should


    enter before we do that. You’ll sneak in when the lights are dimmed. People won’t see you dressed


    like this!”


    Cordelia was hesitating. She had a bad feeling.


    Yelena stepped down the stairs. She snapped her head back to re at her while saying in a shrill


    voice, “Are youing? If you don’t, I’ll throw them out!”


    “No…” Cordelia bit her lip and followed behind her. “I’lle with you.”


    Yelena looked at her, turned around, and continued forward. A cold grin appeared at the corner of


    her lips.
