Chapter 721
Ava was furious, but she did not have the courage to show it in front of Cordelia. She was also scared
of Zephyr. There would be more trouble if he saw her.
She took a nce at Aurelia, who was next to Cordelia, and vented all her rage on her.
“Hah, since you say so, I’ll be going back first. I’ll visit you next time! But, Cordelia, you should watch
out. You’re pretty far along now and should be careful in various aspects, especially not to keep people
of unknown backgrounds around you!”
“What did you say?” Cordelia paused in her steps and snapped her head back at Ava.
Ava’s smile was cunning as she purposely looked at Aurelia.
“I’m always avable if you needpany, Cordelia! But you don’t even know where certain people
come from, and you dare let them live in your house? You trust her just because she knows some
embroidery and modeling?”
Aurelia froze. She was flustered as she quietly let go of her hold on Cordelia’s arm.
Cordelia took her hand back and ced it in her palm to give her two squeezes and a firm smile.
She could not help recalling the time when she had just entered the Hamertons. She had not known
her identity and had been as timid and inferior as Aurelia was. She had been helpless too in the face of
Nelly’s mockery.
However, Janine and Kate had held her hand just like this and told her not to be afraid as they were
with her.
She knew to hold an umbre over someone else because she had gotten soaked in the rain.
Cordelia smiled and pulled Aurelia to her, telling her inwardly not to be scared as she was there!
Her gentle gaze turned sharp as she looked at Ava.
“When do you start poking your nose into my business, Ava?”
“Hah, what are you talking about? We’re family!” Ava took a step forward to jostle Aurelia to the side,
but Cordelia saw iting.
She tucked Aurelia behind her, and Ava stopped instantly in shock. She nearly came in contact with

The baby in there right now was the prized baby of the whole of Bakers and Hamertons. A slight
mishap, and Ava would not be able to redeem herself even if she died over a thousand times!
Cordelia smirked. “Ava, are you really going to wait till Zephyr’s back to chase you out? He’s not as
nice as me now!”
“Don’t worry. I won’t overstay my wee!” Ava jutted her chin. “But I have to say what I must before I
leave to warn you!
“Hah, some people have obscure backgrounds and mustn’t have a reputable status?” Ava cast a side-
long nce at Aurelia. “People like this can do anything! Cordelia, keeping your guard against a viper
at home is hard! Isn’t keeping her around like keeping a time bomb? She might hook up with Zephyr
while you’re not aware. It’ll be toote for you to regret it!”
“W-What are you saying!?” Aurelia was unable to hold back as she flushed in rage.
She spent her years in Melorian and spoke limited Acian, so she did not quite know how to argue. She
could only re and huff with clenched fists, blurting after some time, “You… sh*t!”
Cordelia could not help giggling.
Aurelia was not one for arguing in Acian.
“A viper at home, you say?” Cordelia’s voice was not loud, but her presence was. “Hah, I think you’re
overconcerned. Aurelia isn’t a Hamerton or a Baker. How is she family?
“Some people, though, cry thief when they’re the thief themselves. Ava, the viper at home you
mentioned has thest name Baker, huh?”

“You…” Ava was choked speechless. “Cordelia, are you calling me a thief? I’m genuinely concerned for
you. How could you use me like this!?”
“Of course, I’m not talking about you!” Cordelia’s grin was bright. “You’re not a Baker! You only
changed yourst name after Aunt Hannah met Uncle Noah, right?”
Ava was flustered with bulging eyes, but she could not retort it.
She red at Cordelia, biting her lips with vicious resentment bubbling in her heart.
