Cordelia was right. To the outside world, Kelly barely existed. Why would someone specifically abduct her?Cordelia pressed her lips together and said softly, “Zephyr, it’s strange. I think Nelly definitely has something to do with it.“It’s not that I have prejudice toward her or I’m picking on her. But think about it, a kidnapper didn’t want a known Tanner heiress but went through all that trouble for a Tanner heiress no one even knows about. Is it really about the money?”Cordelia paused and added, “If it’s for money, it’s not Kelly that should be abducted. If it's not for money, then… then what is it for?”“To get rid of her!” Zephyr said abruptly.Cordelia felt chills creep up.“Maybe my guess is wrong…”“Whether it’s right or wrong, nothing must be overlooked.” Zephyr held her shoulders and ran a thumb over her face.He smiled and felt proud looking at the girl who looked soft but was tough and smart.He took her back to the room hand in hand and called Robert before the

Rowan was taken aback. ‘Did Zephyr lose his memory? He does not look like it, judging by how he was all over Cordelia earlier.’He smiled at Cordelia. “Who has amnesia?”“It’s my friend…” Cordelia contemplated and said, “To be precise, it’s not exactly a friend. It’s someone my friend likes.“She’s the Tanners’ other heiress, Kelly Tanner.”“Oh?” Rowan creased his brows.This was heated news previously, and he had heard about it but just did not care enough. He did not care about anything that had nothing to do with Cordelia—what was more, this was the Tanners. Nelly Tanner already repulsed him!He advised, “Cordelia, why are you close to the Tanners? It’s their business whether they have another daughter. Why would you be concerned?”“I’m not close to them. It’s that… this Ms. Kelly is really someone my friend likes. I want to help them!”Cordelia’s voice was sweet. “Uncle Irwin, the Tanners aren’t that bad. Mrs. Tanner is reasonable and clear with what and who she likes and h

“I…” Nicholas looked troubled and hesitant.Zephyr gave him a harsh pat. “How am I supposed to help you if you’re not honest with me!?”After a stretched moment of silence, Nicholas said softly, “I’ve only met Mona a few times, and she’s always pestering me. I don’t know how she got into this grand event, and I got weak after drinking a glass of drink she passed me.”Zephyr rolled his eyes several times, unable to believe how gullible Nicholas was.“I was just weak!” Nicholas raised his voice in explaining, “Not unconscious, you know?“So how would I not know if I’ve done it or not?“Besides, there’s another reason…” His voice went low again as he spoke slower. “After I drink, I… I can’t…”“What?” Zephyr was shocked.Nicholas pursed his lips and glared at him.This had been a secret of his that he had never told anyone. He was usually fine, but a drop of alcohol, and he could not get anything up.Zephyr frowned, not knowing what to say.Nicholas stood leaning against the wal

Mona was tossed into a dark and cold room.She was crawling all over the floor when she suddenly touched a leather shoe. The chilliness scared her, and she screamed.The light in the room was turned on. It was glaringly bright.Only then did she see what was around her.Nicholas sat in the middle. His expressionless muscular underlings surrounded him.Meanwhile, Nicholas was like the Devil that walked out of hell. The killing intent in his eyes was so scary that nobody dared to look straight at him.Mona was dumbstruck. She could not say a word.He was playing with a dagger in his hand while revealing a cunning grin at the corner of his lips. “Ms. Adams, I guess you haven’t heard… My wife had a miscarriage!”Mona was shaking, her face pale.“What exactly happened that night? Are you not going to tell me the truth?”“Mr. Thompson, I…”She was stuttering. She could not say anything.Nicholas handed the dagger to Ian. He lifted it and cut her face directly!“Ahh—”The woman’

“That’s just terrible!” Joe had a grim face. “Who are you calling an outsider? Nelly has been our daughter for over 20 years, no matter what. How is she an outsider now!?”“She’s an outsider, alright!” Mandy was worked up and screamed, “Kelly is our daughter. It’s that b*tch who hurt her!”“Mandy!” Joe raised his voice. “Don’t spew nonsense when you don’t have evidence! You’re the one who imagined Nelly hurting her!”“No!” She glared at him. “Nelly insisted on going to the doctor with me that day. She had ill intentions. She wanted to hurt Kelly when I walked away! Otherwise, how would she be abducted when I left the ward? How could it be such a coincidence?”Joe sighed. Eventually, he said, “You’re ridiculous!“I’ve made up my mind,” he said coldly. “Kelly is ill. Now that she has lost her memory, it’s impossible for her to get married or take over the business… So, let Nelly do it!”Mandy’s mind went blank. It felt as if something heavy had fallen from the sky and hit her head.
