Chapter 310


    Cordelia and Nelly stood facing each other. As Cordelia looked at Nelly’s quirked lips, she clenched


    her hands into fists.


    “Ms. Jenner, don’t you understand what I mean?” Nelly snickered. “I won’t stop you from being


    together with Zephyr. Even when I marry him in the future, I’ll ensure you’re well taken care of. I


    won’t get jealous, either!


    “Heh, things like these are actuallymon in families like ours. I’ll adapt to it slowly, and I believe


    that you’ll get used to it too!”


    Cordelia bit her lips and took in a deep breath. Nelly might as well just say “mistress”.


    Nelly’s smile was vicious as she looked at Cordelia quietly. This woman overestimated herself and


    humiliated her by talking about exchanging rings thest time. She must not show her any mercy


    this time!


    “Yeah, Nelly’s right!” A brilliant voice rang suddenly.


    Nelly’s eyes brightened up. She was all smiles and greeted sweetly, “Auntie!”


    Just as she was going to run over, though, Janine moved to the side and refused her hug with a


    hand. Nelly’s arms were already spread open, so it was awkward as they froze in the air.


    She was rmed when she saw Janine walking toward Cordelia and putting an arm over her


    shoulder.


    “Nelly’s right.” Janine chuckled. “It’s toomon for men to have mistresses in families like ours.


    One isn’t enough. They have to get three or four!”


    “Auntie?” Nelly could not figure out what she was trying to say.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “But Nelly, don’t worry.” Janine looked at her. “My Zephyr isn’t someone like this!”


    Nelly thought that Janine was taking her side and could not help smiling shyly. However, she saw


    Janine look lovingly at Cordelia the next second and speak gently. “It’s enough that he has


    Cordelia!”


    “What!?” Nelly was dumbstruck.


    Cordelia felt a buzz in her ears as her mind went nk as well. ‘Aunt Janine said… Zephyr? Her


    Zephyr?


    ‘Is it Zephyr Hamerton? There could not be a second Zephyr here, could it!?


    ‘How was this possible? Aunt Janine is Zephyr’s… mother!?’


    “Auntie, what do you mean?” Nelly was in disbelief.


    Janine was smiling, but it was obvious that the smile was icy and mocking. It was totally unlike


    when she was smiling at Cordelia.


    “Nelly, what’s gotten into you, child? You can’t understand words now?”


    “Auntie—”


    “I think you were right.” Janine had long had an opinion about Nelly and took the chance to p


    back at her. “You really shouldn’t stop Cordelia from being together with Zephyr, nor should you be


    jealous.


    “When they get married, I’ll ensure you’re well taken care of as their mother-inw. Our Zephyr


    doesn’t like all such messes, but if you insist on being his mistress, it’s not like it’s impossible.


    “But ‘families like ours’ have a lot of rules, and you’ve got to follow them!” Janine grinned. “You have


    to kneel before Cordelia as part of the ceremony. It’s the duty of a mistress to thewful wife!”


    Janine patted Cordelia’s hand and continued. “You can’t be petty. As long as she kneels, serves you


    tea, and walks in from the back door, per ceremony, you have to ept her! What do you think?”


    Cordelia was stunned. She could not even wrap her head around the situation and stared back


    dumbly.


    Nelly was appalled and pale, shaking with ttering teeth.


    It was no wonder that even Liam Hamerton was wary of Janine. It was not just because the Baker


    Group was wealthy and lofty, but it was also because of the woman’s sharp tongue and powerful


    presence.


    People were looking over and whispering with piqued interest.


    Nelly was unwilling to be the joke and stomped her foot, ring at Cordelia, before she left.


    Cordelia took a moment to recover. “Aunt Janine, you… You’re…”


    “What is it?” Her reaction amused Janine. “I only left for a bit, and you don’t recognize me anymore?


    “Right, I got you the person. It’s my son, Zephyr Hamerton!


    “Zephyr,e over!” Janine turned around to call for him.


    Zephyr’s expression actually mirrored Cordelia’s—they stared at Janine in shock and then looked at


    each other in astonishment.


    As Janine watched them, she thought that they looked really matching!


    “Don’t keep standing like this! Get to know each other!”


    In spite of it, even Robert was dumbfounded.


    Janine finally felt something was wrong and looked at Cordelia and Zephyr. She finally tossed the


    question to Robert.


    “What’s up with the two of them?”


    Robert let out a peal ofughter. “Madam Baker, when did you get acquainted with Ms. Jenner?”


    “Ms. Jenner?”


    “Yes!” Robert chuckled wryly. “The person Mr. Zephyr wants you to meet tonight is Ms. Cordelia


    Jenner!”


    “C-Cordelia Jenner?”


    ‘My princess is a Jenner?''


    "Then who did I run into at Yale’s!?''"


    “Madam Baker, that’s Yelena Jenner, Ms. Cordelia Jenner’s sister by name… Ms. Jenner isn’t


    William Jenner’s daughter, in fact!”


    This time, it was Janine’s turn to widen her eyes.


    The woman his son was dead set on marrying was the same person as the daughter-inw she


    was determined to have! She did not even have to introduce them, and her son had long won her


    daughter-inw over!


    ‘Ah…’


    She had made a blunder and was actually the clown.


    Happiness surged within Janine like a tidal wave, like a strike of thunder, like an explosion ofva!


    She kind of malfunctioned because of it and pped Zephyr, who was grinning.


    “You brat! Why didn’t you tell me that the person you like is Cordelia? You made me so angry at me


    these days for nothing!”


    “Mom, how is this my fault!?”
