Chapter 706


    Cordelia and Zephyr rushed to the venue where the newunching would be held despite the night.


    The event would be held the following day, but the staff had discovered that over ten haute couture


    dresses had varying degrees of damage to them when they ran the regr check tonight. The holes


    were not too big, but they affected the appearance, and the garments could barely be used.


    One would need to nce at the clothes and know that they had been intentionally ruined.


    Cordelia was calm and carefully went through each piece of clothing before she asked, “Weren’t these


    clothes delivered three days in advance? Didn’t you all check them properly, then?”


    “They were sent by the head designer of each brand personally, and the vehicles they came in were


    bulletproof. Our people checked them in detail when they arrived, and there was no issue!”


    Zephyr scowled and sent someone to retrieve the surveince recording.


    “Cordelia, stay calm,” he told her with an arm around her. “This venue has the best security in the


    whole of Melorian. If this is sabotage, the cameras must have caught it.”


    Cordelia’s brows were tightly knitted. “But theunch is tomorrow…”


    “Tomorrow’sunch will be canceled,” Zephyr said, calling his secretary. “Send out a notice that the


    launch of the new haute couture pieces will be postponed, and the exact time is to be confirmed.”


    “Darling…”


    Cordelia tugged his sleeve nervously.


    Theunch of these new haute couture pieces was also part of the International Fashion Week, which


    everyone valued. The designers of these dresses were well-known internationally as well.


    If the Baker Group ruined theunch, not only would their pride and reputation be lost, but they would


    also have to pay a hugepensation.


    “It’s fine.” Zephyr held her cold hand. “It’s just postponing theunch, not canceling it entirely. It’s fine to


    compensate them a little.


    “But my wife’s healthes first. You can’t sacrifice your health just because of this, right?”


    Cordelia looked at him withplicated feelings. “I’m the General Manager of this project. I should be


    bearing this responsibility.”


    “No worries.” Zephyr smiled and hugged her. “Your husband’s here. No one will dare to make things


    difficult for you!”


    Cordelia felt like crying. “Those on the board of directors will make your life difficult, though!”


    “As they please.” Zephyr swiped a finger across her nose. “I’ll bear the responsibility and shoulder the


    loss. As for the rest, their mouths are on them. They can say whatever they want!”


    “Darling…”


    Cordelia buried her face against his chest. His scent pacified her, and his heartbeat gave her an


    endless sense of security.


    His secretary dashed over. “Mr. Hamerton, the surveince recording is tricky to retrieve. We might


    need more time.”


    “Mm.”


    “And… how are we cating the designers?”


    “I’ll meet them for this.” Zephyr squinted and looked at Cordelia.


    He stroked her face and shed her an indulging smile. “Darling, go home and rest up. Don’t overthink


    it, and just sleep!”


    “What about you?”


    “I’ll stay here. The designers will be here in a while. I’ll negotiate with them and discuss the time and


    how to patch this up.”


    “I’ll do it with you!”


    “No!” Zephyr frowned. “You and our son get a good rest. Leave this to me!”


    Not only would he discuss the solution with the designers, but he would also stay there to wait for the


    surveince recording.


    He more or less had a guess of who the culprit of this sabotage was, but he needed an exact answer.


    He kissed Cordelia’s cheek. “Honey, did you forget who I am?”


    “Huh?” Cordelia was still at a loss.


    Zephyr smirked and spoke next to her ear huskily, “I’m your superman!”


    Cordelia froze before her eyes stung.


    “Dear Mrs. Hamerton, the superman’s right in front of you now. What’s your wish?”


    “I…” Cordelia thought about it. “I want you to not exhaust yourself ande home earlier to rest too!”


    “Okay.” Zephyr smiled. “Your wish is your superman’smand!”


    The next morning…


    Zephyr updated Cordelia about the discussion of the previous night.


    Theunch could be postponed but not for too long. Otherwise, the Baker Group could not provide a


    decent exnation to the shareholders or set foot in Melorian or even the entire Chaisnd’s fashion


    industry.


    Despite his nonchnce, Cordelia could not help feeling her heart ache for him. She knew he must not


    have told her how much pressure he had been under to face those nitpicking board members and how


    much patience he needed to deal with the fussy designers.


    He was always her superman. No matter what happened, he kept her behind him, well-protected.


    Cordelia bit her lips and asked softly, “Have you got the surveince recording?”


    Zephyr’s gaze dimmed, and he pulled his phone out.


    There was only a clip. A man in a cap could clearly be seen sneaking in and out of the venue like a


    thief.


    “I’ve found the person.” Zephyr snickered. “He was leaving the country when I found him.”

    “From Aunt Hannah?” Cordelia guessed it right away.


    Zephyr wrapped an arm around her shoulder and patted it twice.


    “Don’t worry. I’ll settle the score with her,” he said seriously. “But not now.”


    “Mm, I understand.” Cordelia pressed her lips together. “It’s a critical time for theunch. We aren’t


    given much time. Let’s go through this first and talk about the restter.”Books Chapters Are Daily

    Zephyr smiled at her. It was wonderful having an intelligent wife. He did not have to waste much energy


    talking to her as she was well aware of what was at stake.


    “But there’s no way we have enough time to remake the dresses when they’re damaged to this level,”


    he said. “These haute couture clothes are hand-sewn, and thoughts have been put into the fabrics


    used. One piece takes two to three months toplete.”


    Cordelia frowned and was in deep thought.


    She called for a discussion with the designers in the afternoon to figure out a feasible solution, but


    these designers were entric.


    Nothing fruitful came out despite the entire afternoon.


    Cordelia was frustrated, and the meeting room was stuffy. She went out to get some air and saw Trinity


    walking over. Thetter knew she was busy and worried about her, so she came right after her course.


    “Cordelia, how’s the discussion going?”


    Cordelia shook her head glumly.


    Trinity hugged her and was going tofort her when she saw her eyes trained on the lucky charm in


    front of her chest.


    “This is…”


    “Oh.” Trinity chuckled embarrassedly. “Fredric said I can wear the lucky charm on my neck, so I put it


    on.”


    The lucky charm’s embroidery was excellent, and the luxurious peony was gilded in gold. It oozed an


    exquisite taste.


    Cordelia’s eyes lit up, and she grinned.


    “I know it… I know what to do with the holes!”
