Chapter 674


    “Who do you think you are!?” Ava muttered under her breath, “You’re just the Bakers’ dog…” “What did


    you say!?” Trinity suddenly popped out and red at her. Ava was stunned, turned pale, and flustered.


    She wanted to exin herself but nothing came out after her lips moved. How could she let Trinity hear


    her unfiltered thoughts!? Trinity snickered. “Ms. Baker, do you usually speak without any self-respect?”


    Ava was flustered. Trinity had an androgynous look and felt icy and authoritative when she did not


    smile. “Since we’re already at this, we might as well be direct and stop hiding things.” Trinity touched


    the bonsai beside her with a faint smirk. “Do you think I’m stopping you from starring?” “What?” Ava


    jolted. “This is actually the investor’s request!” Trinity emphasized the word “investor”. “I do the casting,


    but I can’t disregard the investor’s opinion. Someone is investing a huge amount of money in my film,


    and the only condition is that you can’t star in any role!” Trinity scoffed when she brushed past Ava and


    patted her shoulder. “Ava Baker, you should consider who’s actually the Bakers’ dog again!” “You—”


    Ava nearly choked on herself. As Trinity went back to her studio, she heard Ava shouting in the


    hallway, “Tell me who’s the investor! Despicable! Shameless!” Trinity scoffed and mmed the door


    close, while Ava shook and clenched her fists, fingernails stabbing into her flesh. An investor? How


    many investors could there be in the family? Janine had always been the one overseeing the media


    company! Janine had not been around recently, and Cordelia had be the CEO’s assistant who


    managed all thepany affairs… Hah, she must be that investor! Ava bit her lips and dragged herself


    out of the building. Dark clouds hung heavy in the sky. The air was damp and warm. Melorian had a


    mild climate and rarely had this kind of weather. Fat droplets of rain fell a whileter. There seemed to


    be hail as well.


    Ava had no umbre as she walked aimlessly in the storm. She was drenched. Her resentment was


    like a sharp knife that wanted nothing more but to charge out of the storm and pierce through


    Cordelia’s chest. “Fine!” She gritted her teeth. “The b*tch wants to y? I’ll make sure she wins the


    stupid prize!” … The constant rain went on for nearly a week before the sun finally came back out. The


    weather was wonderful today. There was the fresh fragrance of soil on a sunny day just after the rain,


    and the sky was a brilliant blue with cotton candy clouds adorning it Books Chapters Are Daily UpdatedCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.

    blooming and swaying in the breeze. It was the weekend, and Cordelia looked thoughtful as shezed


    in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. For some reason, Ava had been texting her more often these


    days. Her daily sharing had be motivational quotes and posts. Between the lines, it brimmed with


    inferiority that was meek and subservient. In addition, she often came to visit and had even gotten on


    the ground to tie Cordelia’s shoces when she could not crouch from her pregnant belly… There was


    even once when Ava looked at her pitifully. “Cordelia, I heard that you’re very nice to Zephyr’s half-


    sister… I know that I can’tpare to her, but I’m doing my best to keep you happy… “I’m not asking


    you to treat me as nice as you treat her, but can you share just a little of your kindness to her with me?”


    Cordelia frowned and actually felt bad for a moment there. She did not know if it had to do with her


    pregnancy, but she seemed to be growing softer. She even wondered if she had stepped over the line


    recalling how she had treated Ava. Therefore, she agreed despite not wanting to go shopping, after


    Ava pestered her for an hour. “It’s just shopping. Not like I’d be missing a piece of flesh.” Cordelia


    looked at Zephyr. “Don’t worry, I’ll ask Fan to pick me up. I’ll be back soon!” “I’ll send a few more


    subordinates to follow you,” Zephyr replied seriously. “Never mind. Fan alone is good enough.”


    Cordelia smiled. “Zephyr, I don’t want things to be too strained with Ava. There’s your uncle in all this.


    We have to consider his feelings.” “Mm, okay.” Zephyr stroked her hair and smiled at her. As soon as


    he turned around, though, he asked his subordinate, “Follow my wife from afar. Don’t let her find out.


    But if something happens, go over immediately! Understand?”
