Chapter 490


    The meeting came to an end very soon.


    Cordelia took a deep breath and suddenly felt a strange gaze following her. She looked around and


    met Chad’s smirking gaze.


    She was instantly unnerved.


    Chad smiled at her. Out of courtesy, she forced a smile back and left hurriedly with her documents.


    “Cordelia Jenner…” Chad sat on the chair as he watched her leave, looking like he did not have


    enough of it.


    As expected of Imperial Media, it was really a ce of talented individuals. The female celebrities were


    gorgeous in their own way, but none was as captivating as Cordelia was to Chad.


    He had been shooting for so many years, so he had seen plenty of beautiful women, but he had never


    come across someone like Cordelia, who had delicate features and a faint distant sense to her.


    She was cold and elegant when she did not smile, yet she felt like the gentle winter sun when she did.


    Chad also found her name incredibly familiar.


    After asking around, he discovered that she was also from Jangasas. It was only then he suddenly


    recalled that William seemed to have two daughters, and one of them had the same name.


    He made a call somewhere vacant as soon as he left the building.


    Chad smiled, his features squeezed together. “William, how have you been doing?”


    “Oh, the famous director has time to call me?”


    Chad chuckled. He and William were old friends. Before he became famous, it was thanks to William’s


    investments that he could shoot the films. Even when they were not yed in cinemas, he had earned


    a good amount on some rated websites.


    Chad had never contacted William after getting famous, and thetter had once called him ungrateful.


    Now that he was calling William again, he could hear the obvious mockery in thetter’s voice.


    “Bro, don’t say that!” Chad chuckled. “I’m just a bit busier recently and don’t have the time. That’s why I


    can’t keep catching up!”


    “Just say what you want. Stop babbling nonsense with me!” William scoffed. “I hope it’s not for money?


    You’re an international director now. Would youck investment from me?”


    “No, no…” Chad hurried to say, “I’m just catching up. How are your daughters?”


    William paused. “What are you trying to say?”


    Chad was direct as well. “You have a daughter named Cordelia Jenner, right?”


    Silence greeted him on the other end of the line. It was after a long time that William’s low voice


    answered, “She has… moved to Centrolis.”


    Chad was delighted. This meant that Cordelia was really William’s daughter.Books Chapters Are Daily

    “If I remember correctly, she’s your illegitimate daughter, right?”


    William was irritated. Cordelia was not his daughter, and he knew about it a long time ago. It was just


    that he had been coveting the medical forms X had, and there would be a sum of money


    transferred from Southeast Aciatic to X’s ount every month throughout these 20-something


    years.

    William was greedy. While Cordelia was young and X was ill, he imed the money as his own.


    When the money came from Southeast Aciatic each month, he would leave a small portion to Cordelia


    and X—as long as they would not starve to death—and the rest would go to his pocket.


    The money and medical forms he coveted were the reasons he refused to back off from X all


    these years.


    It was just that he did not expect X to get better and that the one Cordelia had married was not


    Marcus but the Hamerton heir in Centrolis!


    His own daughter was also connected to the Hamertons, but she was just Yale’s ything.


    It felt like a thorn in William’s heart. His arrogance and pride made him run deeper into a dead alley. He


    could never tell Chad the truth.


    “Oh, yeah!” William went along with what Chad said, “Cordelia’s my illegitimate daughter. Why? Have


    you met her?”
