Chapter 213
The loud thud gave a squeeze to Cordelia’s heart. She snapped her head up and happened to see
William’s cold stare and a subtle smile at the corner of his lips.
After leaving the office, Yelena pulled her from behind before she could get out of the building.
“Stop!”
She turned her head, and Yelena’s p came to her face!
Fortunately, she hade prepared. She dodged swiftly, and Yelena missed. As she was
attempting to p her again, Cordelia grabbed her wrist tight!
Yelena’s stare was vicious, but Cordelia did not want to give in at all. She shook her off.
The share return documents were scattered on the floor. The nk part where William was
supposed to sign seemed extra ironic now.
Yelena screamed as if she had gone mad.
At that moment, Cordelia had aplicated feeling.
She thought about it from a different angle. If she and Carter had the same father and different
mother, she had been despising him since young, had tried everything to put him in trouble, and
eventually found out that he was not her brother, yet her mother had given him what belonged to
her…
She might be mad about it too.
She took what belonged to Yelena, but she was not one of the Jenners. It was just absurd.
Cordelia took a deep breath. She wanted to stop Yelena from stirring trouble in thepany.
However, just when she got close to her, Yelena suddenly turned around and tossed the cactus
nt on the counter at her!
“Ahh!” Cordelia was shocked and instinctively wrapped her arms around her head.
At that moment, a big figure came rushing. He hugged her and dodged aside!
The cactus crushed onto the floor.
The lobby fell into silence suddenly. The employees were dumbfounded as they watched.
Cordelia tried her best to suppress her racing heart. She lifted her eyes to look. “Hubby…”
Zephyr’s expression was so cold it was smothering. He stared ferociously at Yelena.
“Let’s go home, hubby.”
Zephyr patted her head. “Are you hurt?”
“No.”
He nced at the documents scattered on the floor and scoffed. “That’s quite a lot of shares. Hah,
seems like Mr. Jenner is quite generous!”
“You…” Yelena wanted to say something, but she dared not due to his oppressively cold charisma.
“My wife was bullied by the Jenners for years. She deserves thepensation!”
“What a joke!” Yelena’s voice was shaky. She pretended to be calm. “She’s not my father’s
daughter. Why does she deserve the money?”
“So, Ms. Jenner is unwilling?”
Zephyr raised his voice. The ce was silent.
Yelena stepped back in fear.
“My wife deserves those shares,” he said with a deep voice. “But she doesn’t care about this mere
money!”
Zephyr held Cordelia as they walked out. He kicked the documents on the floor away.
The majesty of the man seemed to have suppressed the entire lobby. Even after he left, nobody
dared to move.
…
Cordelia sat on the couch after getting home. She was strangely quiet.

That worried Zephyr a little bit.
He poured her a ss of warm water and sat next to her. He ced his arm on her skinny
shoulders and pulled her close.
“What are you thinking about, wifey?”
As Cordelia held the ss, the security the man provided made her loosen her tensed body.
She chuckled and mumbled, “How nice it would be if I could hide in your embrace forever.”
“Why not?” He smiled. “Didn’t they say that one will spoil hisdy like a kid if he really loves her?
“I’ll spoil you like you’re my daughter!”
Cordelia was stunned. She looked at him, not sure whether tough or cry.
“What? Do you want me to call you daddy?”
“That’d be… even better.” Zephyr squinted. He stuck his ear close to her and said in his deep and
husky voice. “Come on, call me daddy!”
“I hate you!”
Cordelia pushed him away while giggling. However, the man was like a wall, blocking her sturdily.
He looked like he was going to pounce on her…
