Chapter 511

“It’s late, Mr. Smith. Am I bothering you?”Mr. Smith smiled. The bar was quiet. There would be saxophone tunes playing every now and then. The people next to him could hear him when he talked on the phone.Robert looked at him with slight confusion. He picked up the glass of whisky and then put it down slowly.Mr. Smith asked softly, “Does Ms. Jenner need anything?”“Investigate someone for me,” said Cordelia. “Find out everything about her! I don’t want the official information on the Internet… You get what I mean, right, Mr. Smith?”“Sure, I’ll do it right away. I wonder who Ms. Jenner is talking about?”“Michelle Carmichael from Sol Entertainment.”Mr. Smith was stunned and looked at Robert with doubt.He was bright and knew Cordelia well. She would not investigate someone for nothing.He had heard of Michelle. She was considered an attractive lady from a decent family and was recently signed by Sol Entertainment.It seemed Cordelia was not investigating Michelle for Lind

Chapter 512

The preparations for the new movie were coming to an end. Shooting would start soon. However, Trinity did not seem to be fully in it. She had missed a few meetings.When Cordelia asked her out for a cup of coffee, she put it down after taking two sips. She looked out of the window, moody.Cordelia felt she looked like those female leads in movies who had just broken up.She felt a squeeze in her heart as she thought that.What would Trinity do about the movie if she had just broken up? She knew that a person like her, who relied on her talent, would prioritize her mood and inspiration in order to direct movies.Cordelia wanted to talk to her, but she could not bring it up if Trinity did not.She was bored, so she took out her phone and began scrolling. Suddenly, a video caught her attention.It was a beautiful girl singing while playing the guitar. Her voice was sweet, and her fans were giving her gifts. More than 100,000 people were watching her live stream.Cordelia smiled, “

Chapter 513

Cordelia was stunned. “Mr. Constable?”Trinity tried to cover it immediately. “Oh, nothing. I’m just asking! Isn’t he your husband’s best friend? I thought he should be there if your husband’s going!”Cordelia nodded and thought something was up.Trinity knew she was so smart that she might have seen through her.Therefore, she tried her best to squeeze a casual smile to cover it. “Err… I actually need to talk to Mr. Constable! I want to ask him about the film rights law, and also…”“Film rights?” Cordelia was stunned again. “Why do you have to worry about that? Imperial Media is very professional in law. They’ve already drafted the contract!”Trinity was taken aback. Her cheeks flushed as if she had a fever.Cordelia chuckled.Trinity would usually not talk so much, let alone talk about someone.However, she revealed another side of her.“Mr. Constable should be there,” said Cordelia. “You can ask him anything by then.”Trinity nodded in panic and downed the cold coffee at

Chapter 514

“He’s still single anyway. I already got that information!”“But… what about Mr. Constable?”Michelle pouted.She knew that Fredric liked her since they were in school. It had been years, and she knew that he still liked her.However, she did not like him.The Constables were just a family of academics. They were too different from the major families like the Hamertons and Bayers.She had been the queen bee in school. Naturally, she would have to marry the best!Nancy was a little worried. “Mich, do you really want to approach Zephyr? I think Mr. Constable isn’t bad. At least he’s sincere about his feelings for you…“Meanwhile, Zephyr is unpredictable. I’m afraid you can’t get a hold of him.”“What are you saying!” Michelle glared at her.Nancy pursed her lips and kept quiet.She knew that Michelle was talented as well as ambitious.Perhaps it was bad luck that she had achieved nothing for years.If she could really be with Zephyr, it would be one way out…Nancy sighed so

Chapter 515

Fredric nodded respectably and got Mandy a glass of wine.She was impressed by his look today.From what she remembered, he was usually quite rigid. Perhaps it was because it was his job that he was quiet and hardly smiled. He was always in a suit. He was usually at the court or on the way to the court.Today, it was rare that he wore a beige suit. Such a color would not match everyone. However, it looked perfect on him. He looked like a model walking out of a poster.Mandy took a good look at Fredric and chuckled. “You’re quite handsome today, Mr. Constable! Young people should dress like this. You’d look like you have more life to you with bright colors!”He coughed softly, revealing a subtle smile in his eyes.He had been looking for someone at the banquet.He had no idea that someone else was watching him from far away. That person had even picked a suit that was the same color as his.That person had been squeezing the button on the suit, having an emotional roller coaster

Chapter 516

Michelle’s mind went blank. She stood dumbly in front of the man, not daring to breathe any louder.She found Zephyr to be cold and emotionless back when they were in school. Now that they had graduated, he was only more of that than warming up.Despite that, Michelle did not want to back down. After all, the temptation of the Hamerton name was still significant.She took a deep breath and quickly adjusted herself, putting on a fawning but natural smile.“Zephyr, we haven’t met for years, and this is how you’re treating your long-time schoolmate?”Zephyr narrowed his eyes.The woman was unreasonable. If Josiah had not reminded him, he would never have remembered her as his schoolmate.At the same time, it frustrated him that Cordelia had not sent him any message.He got up to leave.Michelle was alarmed seeing that he was leaving and quickly followed, only to see another woman coming their way shortly.The woman was slightly lacking in looks compared to the other female celeb

Chapter 517

Cordelia rushed to the Tanners after she was done with work and only remembered to send Zephyr a text when she was on her way.[Been waiting for long? I’ll be there soon!]Zephyr was bored out of his mind in the restroom, nearly bouncing off the couch when his phone pinged. It was his private phone with only Cordelia’s number saved.This woman finally thought of him, huh?Zephyr squinted and read the sentence repeatedly, and an unnoticeable hint of smile colored his eyes. He thought that he must not reply to her so fast. He ought to let her have a taste of being left in the blind—for at least 15 minutes!In spite of it, at the tenth second of receiving the text, his fingers were already typing furiously on the screen.[It’s okay. Work’s important!]He stared at the screen smiling after sending it before his expression changed abruptly. Would it look like he was too accommodating in replying to her like this?He quickly withdrew the reply and began typing again.[Cordelia, I’ve

Chapter 518

Cordelia smiled. “Ms. Carmichae, you can call me Ms. Jenner. I’m Zephyr’s partner of the night.”Michelle snorted and rolled her eyes.Partner? How could she say something so shameless!?“Excuse me, Ms. Jenner.” She was pompous in front of Cordelia. “Mr. Zephyr already has a partner. It’s me!”It felt like something clenched Cordelia’s heart as a faint ache spread throughout her limbs.Zephyr, oh Zephyr! It seemed that the dozen unsent messages earlier were most likely to tell her that his unforgettable love was also there tonight.Cordelia took a deep breath and felt her temples throb.When she got Michelle’s information, she used to picture many scenarios of their meeting. She had even rehearsed what she should say with what expression and what action.When they actually met now, though, it was an entirely different case.The corners of Cordelia’s lips twitched. She kept reminding herself that she must not lose her cool here. She had to settle this unforgettable love first a

Chapter 519

“Why didn’t you call me when you got here so I could pick you up?”The man’s voice was husky and gentle, but it tugged at the jealousy burning in her.“Zephyr, I wouldn’t dare call you,” Cordelia replied softly. “Your woman’s stopping me here!”Zephyr scowled at once, his icy gaze gleaming viciously.Michelle was dumbfounded. What was going on?Zephyr had clearly said that he did not like other women approaching him, so what was up with this woman whom he was hugging like a gem?Michelle’s heart drummed. She sucked in a cold breath. “Zephyr, this—”“Oh, Michelle, what’s that?” The female celebrities instigated, “Is Mr. Hamerton’s name for you to call?”“You all—”“Michelle, how could you talk to Ms. Jenner like this? And to stop her from coming in? Gosh, are you going to replace her as Mrs. Hamerton next?”Cordelia suppressed her urge to smile, pushing down all that upward ticking of her lips.As expected of the artists she personally guided… Their swift change of acting ski

Chapter 520

Josiah and Kelly exchanged a smile. With the latter’s hand gesture, the lights were suddenly dimmed.Just as the guests gasped, the spotlight focused on Zephyr and Cordelia.The world focused on the two of them, while Zephyr focused only on Cordelia.A large ball on the ceiling in the center of the hall slowly opened, showering rose petals. Alongside the soft lighting, melody, and colorful bubbles, everything felt beautiful and dreamy.Cordelia was stunned by the scene that greeted her and was rendered speechless.Zephyr looked at her softly. He had made an effort to set this up for her and had already talked to the Tanners about it.It was just brought forward due to Michelle.Zephyr got down on one knee before Cordelia with a smile and pulled out a diamond ring. The diamond was ten carats and exuded a prismatic shine under the lights with its perfect cut.“Is this Mr. Zephyr’s proposal?”“What a rare sight! I need to video this!”“Right!? I might get the highest traffic to
