Chapter 348


    In spite of it, Nelly kept a tight grip on her. Cordelia was anxious and grabbed her wrist to push her


    away.


    While they jostled, a vicious look suddenly shed across Nelly’s eyes. She gnashed her teeth and


    let go of Cordelia. She then pped herself a few times harshly!


    Cordelia was stunned. She did not expect this at all.


    Nelly’s cheeks were red and swollen. After that, she ran to the door screaming like she had lost her


    mind.


    “Help! Somebody! Cordelia’s going to kill me!”


    She screamed as she ran out to press the rm, prompting the manager, servers, and security to


    rush up the fastest they could.


    Soon, the people in the banquet hall heard the rm as well and ran upstairs.


    Nelly disheveled her own hair and stood at the door frantically. When she caught Zephyr in the


    crowd out of the corner of her eye, she ran to him crying.


    “Zephyr… Zephyr, I was chatting with Ms. Cordelia just now, and I don’t know what I said that


    offended her… She started hitting me!”


    Zephyr pushed her away with a straight face and a cold glint in his eyes.


    The marks on Nelly’s face were clearly visible. There were even fingerprints. Both her cheeks were


    swollen.


    The guestsmented in whispers upon seeing how unsightly she was. At the same time, they


    looked at Cordelia.


    Zephyr was also the most worried about Cordelia. He weaved through the crowd to get to her and


    held her petite shoulder tightly with arge hand, pressing his warm chest against her.


    Cordelia smiled at him with aposed expression.


    “I know that you wouldn’t hit her,” he whispered in her ear. “But this is… a little tricky.


    Cordelia saw a few elderly-looking peopleforting Nelly and thought that they must be from the


    Tanners. The few of them were condescending as they looked at Zephyr sternly.


    “Mr. Zephyr.” One of the elders spoke up. “Whatever rtionship you have with thisdy here, she


    hit Nelly. That means she’s hit the Tanners! I think you won’t just let it slide, right?”


    Zephyr’s smile did not reach his eyes. “How do you want me to handle this, sir?”


    “How else?” Another woman said angrily, “Let us hit her back since she has hit our Nelly! She has to


    take as many ps as Nelly has taken! That’s only fair!”


    Zephyr took a step forward, his tall build shielding Cordeliapletely. His authoritative presence


    gave off enough pressure that silenced the Tanners.


    “You hit me once, and I hit you back once… Hah, do you think this is child’s y, madam?”


    His deep voice wasmanding. “The cause and effect of the matter haven’t been cleared up, and


    a conclusion is made so recklessly?”


    “Our Nelly’s got hit to this point. How much clearer do you want it to be!?”


    “Yeah! Ms. Cordelia, here next to you, has always seen Nelly as an eyesore. It’s not surprising that


    she would do this!”

    The elder’s gaze was strict. “ Mr. Zephyr, if you can’t make a decision, I’m afraid I’ll have to disturb


    Elder Mr. Hamerton tonight!”


    “Everyone.” A soft voice interrupted themotion suddenly. “Do you all really think I’ve hit Ms.


    Tanner?”


    Cordelia stepped up with a smile,posed and gracious.


    Zephyr jolted and was going to hold her hand to stop her from interfering, but she shook her head at


    him.


    “I’ll be responsible for what I did,” Cordelia said clearly. “Since you think I hit her, don’t ask Zephyr to


    be responsible for it. Isn’t it better toe to me directly?”
