Rowan stood rooted. He felt a pang in his heart, and there was a twinge of pain before it thumped.Cordelia looked at him strangely but did not think more about it and got into the car. Robert called for the chauffeur, and both of them sent her together.Not long after the car drove off, Rowan broke out of his daze and quickly gave chase. He tailed Cordelia’s car along the way with shaking hands gripping the steering wheel. There were a few times when his vision turned blurry. The crisp and sweet voice, as well as flashbacks of a certain person’s smile and actions, kept appearing in his mind. He could always see her in a gentle, long lilac dress smiling happily under the sun once she saw him. He could always recall how she rebelled against her family and relatives without care just for him, as well as the shock, rage, and despair in her eyes when she found out that he had lied to her…Rowan hit the brake abruptly.The car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, causing disgru

“But people will talk as you two live together without being married.”Xyla advised softly, “Cordelia, you’re a girl, and reputation is important! You didn’t know his identity in the past and thought that you had married him. You can’t be at fault for staying together. Now that you know and still want to be with him, you should get married sooner!”“Mom!” Cordelia grinned cheekily. “You’re pretty old school!”“I’m not old school. I want to protect you!” Xyla held her hand. “It’s not official or legitimate so long as you aren’t married. I’m worried about you being hurt.”Cordelia felt a pinch in her nose. She understood that it was due to the unhappy experience with William in the past that Xyla was exceptionally sensitive to the term legitimate.She snuggled her mother affectionately. Growing up, she rarely had the chance to act cute and coy with Xyla.Xyla patted her shoulders with a loving smile. Like many naggy mothers, she would keep nagging about their marriage.“Alright, I

Cordelia screamed, but it was too late for her to run. Zephyr pressed against her within a blink of an eye.The man grabbed her wrists and whispered into her ear, “Wifey, how much is there in the card?”She was honest and answered without even thinking about it, “This is your old black card. There’s no money in there, but it’s unlimited spending—”The beastly-like man kissed her before she was done speaking.She could not breathe.…When they were done, Cordelia lazily leaned on him. She felt as if she had collapsed.Zephyr grabbed her shoulders softly, revealing a satisfied smile.He was not sleepy at all.“No!” She stopped him in time. “I’m exhausted. Please let me go…”He grinned. “Ms. Jenner, your service is unlimited.”Cordelia grabbed the blanket tightly to wrap herself in it. Her big eyes looked at him with her guard up.Zephyr was soft-heartened. He grabbed her into his embrace and patted her smooth back.“Okay, I’ll let you go,” he said gently. “Have a good rest.”

“School ceremony?” Cordelia was stunned. “What’s that about?”“He got a scholarship for this semester again.” When Zephyr talked about him, it was as if he was proud of his own brother. “Also, his thesis was published in a major journal. It got the attention of the experts in medicine, which won him an academic award!”Cordelia took over his phone.It was okay before she looked. Now only did she find out that Carter had been talking to Zephyr often,He would talk to his brother-in-law instead of his sister.To him, Zephyr was an invincible superman!Therefore, it was only natural that he shared his proud achievement with him as soon as he found out.“That guy!” She pretended to be mad. “It’s as if I’m nothing to him!”“Are you jealous?” Zephyr chuckled. He showed her the chat that they had a few days ago.[Brother-in-law, I’d like to buy a gift for mom and sister when I get the scholarship. What do you think they’d like?]Cordelia was soft-hearted. There were tears in her eye

Cordelia glanced at them coldly and stared at the boy named Tony.He was quite handsome. He had smothering eyes and a sharp nose. He had a cool, bad-boy look.If he was in movies, he would have many women on their knees.However, she clenched her fists when she recalled what they said about Carter.“The celebrities Imperial Media signs are reputable for having artistic skills and good ethics.” She scoffed. “Apart from good acting skills, they need a great reputation in the circle.“So, what makes you think you deserve to be signed with Imperial Media?”They were stunned at the same time.Perhaps they grew up in a first-class environment and were spoiled—some were even acting since they were young—so they were the ones who picked the job instead of the other way around.They had never encountered anyone who dared to talk to them like that.Nevertheless, one of them was considered sharp to have thought about what happened.“This lady… She asked if we’re interested in Carter’s s
