Chapter 435
The charity auction on the weekend was grand. Famous people who gathered there were big
names in the sphere of art collection.
Cordelia was gradually more familiar with events like this. Perhaps it was the noble blood in her. As
she stood among the crowd smiling in a gown, she was as if a glistening pearl.
Janine happily introduced her to her business partners as well.
“This is my daughter-inw!
“Yes, daughter-inw!”

The woman’s face was split open with a wide grin throughout theworking.
“I know, right? Got myself a gem! Hahaha… Our Zephyr’s lucky!
“What? Elder Mr. Hamerton doesn’t agree?” She immediately raised her voice, causing the people
around them to look over.
Cordelia tugged her discreetly.
Janine did not care, though. She kept her voice raised. “Why does it matter if he agrees or not? Am
I, or is he the one choosing a daughter-inw!? The old man disliked me in the past, and now he
wants to dislike my daughter-inw too?
“I refuse to ept this!”
The auction hall went quieter than the vacuum of outer space.
Cordelia felt warmth gush in her heart and felt like crying, holding Janine’s hand.
Over ten seconds of silenceter, people began to whisperments.
“So… Madam Baker’s getting her message across to Elder Mr. Hamerton indirectly?”
“I think she isn’t taking Ms. Jenner as daughter-inw because she likes her. It’s because Elder Mr.
Hamerton hates her. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. This is still the grudge between the
Bakers and the Hamertons!”
“Aren’t you being a little too superficial? Madam Baker’s a smart woman. No matter how big their
grudge is, it’s impossible that she’d embarrass himpletely. If she really didn’t like Ms. Jenner,
she wouldn’t defend her like this.”
“Hmm, makes sense…”
Janine smiled at Cordelia and marched forward in confidence.
“No matter what others say, don’t lower your head,” Janine said with a pat on the back of her hand.
“Or your crown will fall!”
Cordelia smiled as well and walked on with the sameposure.
“Aunt Janine, how nice would it be when I get to be like you!”
“Me?” Janine raised her brows. “Hah, silly girl, your mother was even better than me when she was
younger!”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I learned from her. Speaking of which, your mom’s the realdy. I’d feel inferior in front of
her!”
Cordelia smiled.
How could Janine feel inferior? She was just going along with X in everything because she cared
about this friend too much.
That was why Cordelia was curious. Why was there a 20-year gap when both of them were so
close?
“Aunt Janine, I’ve always wanted to ask my mom, but I’m scared of reminding her sad past… What
happened between you two back then that you broke off your friendship for so long?”
Janine was silent for a moment before she answered with a chuckle, “Not that we broke it off. It’s…
over a man. We had a disagreement.”
Cordelia widened her eyes.
Janine immediately knew that she had misunderstood it upon seeing her expression. “Oh dear,
what are you thinking? How could I possibly fight over a guy with your mom!?”
“Oh…” Cordelia chuckled dryly. “Then?”
“Because I didn’t like the guy!” Janine answered directly.
Cordelia stared at her dumbly again.
What kind of man was it that Janine was still so angry when he was mentioned today?
Janine thought about it. When Rowan’s refined rascal look shed in her mind, she waved a hand
with a frown. “Never mind, I’m not talking about the j*rk. It’s bad luck!
“Anyway, just don’t bring it up to your mom. It’s the past. Let bygones be bygones. We have to keep
looking forward!”
Cordelia nodded. It was at the same time amotion broke out in the venue.
The doors opened with bodyguards rushing in to stand on both sides. Everyone’s gazes focused
there.
“Who is it to being so grandly!?”
