Chapter 309
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’ ce. If she got into a fight with Cordelia here, she would be ruining the
Tanners’ image.
Zephyr was also here. She could not make him think that she was a crazy woman.
Nelly suppressed the rage and jealousy within her and forced a smile after ring 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.
Hemented 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…”
“Mom, you—”
“Hurry up,e 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 mped 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 red 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 herpany.
“And… she mustn’t know who I’m meeting, understand?”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
