Chapter 369


    Nelly looked toward that direction discreetly as well and discovered that he was actually staring at


    Cordelia!

    She was shocked but did not show it, merely asking, “Mr. Irwin, the auction’s starting. Which piece


    are you going to bid for?”


    Rowan’s brows were furrowed lightly. His mind had long gone to Cordelia.


    As he looked at her from afar and watched how a man kept her in his arms like a treasure and how


    she smiled that even her dimples oozed happiness… he suddenly felt a pinch on his nose. A sob


    was lodged in his throat.


    She really looked a lot like X. Yet, the cool brilliance from her eyes looked so much like his.


    Rowan smiled and felt sullen. He had promised X that he would never disrupt their lives. Those


    forms had severed all their rtionships. The moment X left Southeast Aciatic, they were


    strangers to each other.


    Rowan’s fingers on the wine ss tightened, and his joints turned white from the exertion.


    “Mr. Irwin, what’s the matter?”


    “Hmm?” He snapped out of his thoughts and met Nelly’s questioning gaze.


    “Oh, nothing.”


    “Heh, did you have eyes on a pretty girl?” Nelly asked semi-jokingly. “That girl’s off limits!”


    “What are you talking about?” Rowan furrowed his brows.


    “Weren’t you looking at Cordelia Jenner just now?”


    Rowan jolted. ‘Cordelia Jenner is her name…’


    Back then, X had lied about the child being William Jenner’s in order to survive in the Jenners.


    That was why their daughter’sst name was Jenner.


    Rowan tightened his fist, his nails stabbing into his palms.


    “Ms. Tanner.” He looked at Nelly. “What were you saying about Cordelia Jenner just now?”


    “Her?” Nelly scoffed. “She’s good. An illegitimate daughter of some small family hooking up with the


    third heir of Centrolis’ Hamertons!”


    “That’s the third heir, Zephyr Hamerton?”


    “Exactly!”


    There was a change in Rowan’s expression.


    Nelly continued to say, “Mr. Irwin, the woman’s something. Zephyr offended Elder Mr. Hamerton in


    public because of her before!


    “Mr. Irwin, I hear that there’s voodoo in Southeast Aciatic that can control one’s mind… I think this


    Cordelia Jenner might know some voodoo magic!”


    “Really?” Rowan’s tone turned icy abruptly. “You know a lot, huh, Ms. Tanner? Why don’t I know that


    there’s voodoo in Southeast Aciatic?”


    Nelly froze upon realizing that she had said something wrong.


    “Mr. Irwin, I don’t mean it like that—”


    “If there’s really such powerful voodoo magic, Irwin Pharmaceuticals can close up!”


    “No, no, Mr. Irwin, let me exin—”


    “Ms. Tanner!” Rowan raised his voice. “I’ll ask my assistant to give you a present before I leave! It’s


    a few bottles of new medicine. It’s not too expensive, but it’s good for the brain and eyes. I think


    they’ll do good for you!”


    He left briskly upon saying that. Where did this crazy womane from to nder his daughter


    right in front of him!?


    Rowan’s subordinate said softly beside him, “Mr. Irwin, the person next to Ms. Cordelia is Zephyr


    Hamerton… He recuperated in Jangasas after the ne crash and met her there.”


    Rowan halted abruptly like he was electrocuted.


    ‘The ne crash…’


    The words crashed against his heart like a hammer, and a thick fog clouded his eyes.
