Chapter 386
The headlights of the Maybach outside of Royal Manor blinked twice.
Rowan saw Zephyring out for Cordelia and taking her back into the house by her hand after
saying something to her. A whileter, the lights in the living room went out.
Charlie turned back to smile at Rowan. “Mr. Irwin, looks like they’ve reconciled.”
Rowan hummed in response. “The brat’s good at coaxing, apparently!”
He sighed and stayed silent in thought before chuckling and keeping his silver needle.
“Charlie, let’s go.”
“Yes, sir.” Charlie started the car. “Mr. Irwin, what do we do next?”
Rowan stayed silent. He would stay longer in Centrolis for this trip—one reason was for the joint
coborative hospital project, and another was simply because he was growing more reluctant to
leave.
He was okay with just seeing them from afar. That person… She would be a wound that would
never heal.
Charlie read his mind. “Mr. Irwin, I’ve obtained Ms. X’s current address. Do you want to—”
“No,” Rowan interrupted him in a low voice.
Even though he wanted to see her like crazy, he was afraid to meet her. He had developed the
Irwins into an unprecedented sess story over these over 20 years—he wanted to make it up to
everyone, to histe father, to the shareholders, to the poor people who could not afford to go to the
doctors and buy medicine…
The only one he was sorry to… It was X.
Back when X left Southeast Aciatic, he could not forget her. When he found her, she had said
that she was already William’s woman. She had given birth to a daughter, and he had snuck to
Jangasas to see her, only to discover that she was not living as well as she had said she was.
She had said that she had married someone and lived happily after, but he had secretly done a
paternity test and found out that Cordelia was his flesh and blood.
That was why over so many years, a sum of money would be transferred to X’s ount each
month.
It was not to William’s credit that Cordelia and Carter could grow up smoothly. It was Rowan who
had been doing everything in silence…
Rowan closed his eyes. The chaotic past surfaced in his mind. He breathed out a heavy sigh and
felt tears wetting his eyes.
…
After Janine returned from Chaisnd, Mona ran toin to her only to receive a t “Oh”.
Mona was stunned. Was her teary acting just now… not moving enough?
She probed. “Madam Baker, you—”
“What is it?” Janine tore her eyes off theputer screen and looked at her. “Anything else?”
“Madam Baker, Ms. Cordelia—”
“There’s nothing wrong with how Cordelia handled it!” Janine answered in a businesslike manner.
“Mona, you’re apany artist. I didn’t sign you to cause me problems!
“What you say and how you act must abide by thepany rules. Break them and be punished!”
Mona widened her eyes.
Janine snorted and closed her folder. “I actually think that Cordelia’s punishment for you was quite
light! If I were to act how I would in Chaisnd, you’d be shelved for at least three months!”
Mona gasped. What was going on with Madam Baker? Why was she taking Cordelia’s side!?
Back when Nelly asked her to sign with Imperial Media, she had clearly said that Janine was her
future mother-inw. The woman was on their side!
From what it looked like now… Janine and Cordelia seemed to be in the same boat instead!
Janine smirked. Although she had never concealed her favor for Cordelia in private, words out
there, as per her request, were that she already had her mind set on who her daughter-inw would
be.
The outside world would be the most curious about an ambiguous answer like this. That was why
many people spected that her rtionship with Cordelia might not be as close as it seemed.

It made sense. Why would a wealthy mother-inw like a daughter-inw without background and
support?
They did not know that this was how Janine was protecting Cordelia.
