“What about winning awards? Can’t keep up with having a guardian angel!”Frederic could hear the sarcasm in Millie’s tone and knew the complexity of the entertainment industry. Michelle had to depend on Trinity to survive. He took a discreet glance at Trinity only to see the latter’s reddened eyes and felt his heart clench for no reason.Cordelia padded to Michelle. “How are you getting used to the set life, Ms. Carmichael?”Frederic was happy to see Cordelia’s concern for Michelle and immediately gestured for the latter to speak more to Cordelia.Despite that, Michelle’s gaze toward Cordelia was obviously one of jealousy and fear.“I brought you a unique set of tea.” Cordelia waved a hand with a smile, and someone behind her took out what was in the small basket.The dessert on the pretty porcelain was in the shape of a snake.“Ms. Carmichael, don’t have such a hot temper when you’ve just joined the crew. Be like this snake. It’s good to be cooler.”Everyone knew that Cordelia

“Thank you.”“We’re good bros, right? No worries!” Frederic chuckled and lowered his head to look at her. “Uh… you’re not angry anymore now?”“Huh?”“I know that you’re a rational and mature girl. You’re friendly and genuine too. So… Michelle must have been in the wrong to have angered you like that. I’ll apologize on her behalf. Stop being mad, okay?”Trinity froze. The haze that had just dissipated came back in full force again.All in all, he had gifted her the charm because of Michelle. She was sensible to him, so the sensible one should be forgiving and understanding, benevolent and merciful, not be calculative even when wronged—because only children who threw tantrums would be given candies!Trinity could not get herself to act like Michelle. She despised that too.That was why she could never compare to Michelle in Frederic’s eyes.There was a bitter smile on Trinity’s face. When she looked down, the charm did not look so radiant anymore.…Later, the men gathered in

Yale scanned Frederic up and down. He stepped forward to ask when he saw the latter staying quiet for some time. “Mr. Constable, did you think about it?”“My business is none of your concern.” Frederic looked at him coldly. “On the contrary, you should look after yourself if you’re free, Mr. Yale. Hah, you don’t look too good. Is it hard getting it up nowadays?”“Who the f*ck are you commenting on!?”“It’s beneficial to control yourself accordingly!” Frederic smirked cryptically and patted the man’s shoulder. “Impotence and baldness would be unfortunate when you’re so young. You’d be embarrassing the Hamertons then!”“You—”Yale wanted to react physically, but Frederic caught his wrist and threw him feet away. He was drunk, but he was pretty strong.Frederic smiled and walked out of the carpark.Yale knew that Zephyr’s close friends were not helpless weaklings, but he did not expect a mere lawyer to fight him like this!Cordelia had removed his personal bodyguards too, so he di

Rowan felt a squeeze in his heart.“Yes, I know it’s too late. I should have taken you and Cordelia away from Jangasas when she was born!”However, the Irwins had been in chaos back then. Some people in the family had been looking down on him because he had taken over the power. They had been hostile toward him and had tried to chase him out using external sources.He had been dealing with those troubles while researching new medicine at the same time. Moreover, he could not let Xyla return at that critical time. If she did, those people would definitely target her. They would use her or might take her and their daughter hostages to force him to do as they said.However, he regretted it now.He should have brought her back instead of leaving her in Jangasas alone, letting her run into that b*stard, William!He should have given their children a better life instead of letting Cordelia learn to be walking on eggshells and letting Carter have a hard time in school.Families shoul

Zephyr could only come back and sit on the couch while pouting.Rowan looked at him with a cryptic look in his eyes.“About you marrying Cordelia…”“How many times are you going to ask that?” Zephyr enunciated each word coldly. “It’s true. My grandfather has agreed to it!”“Hmm, I know.” Rowan smiled. He was not sure whether to be happy or sad. He was lucky to be able to see his daughter getting married, but he did not have the right to hold her hand through the red carpet and give her away to the groom.Zephyr paused and said softly, “My grandfather indeed minded Cordelia’s background at first, and he hoped you’d take her as your goddaughter… But I told him about your relationship with her yesterday.”Rowan’s eyes widened. He could not say anything while staring at him.“He’s very happy since finding out that she’s your daughter. Sir, aren’t you going to seize the opportunity to acknowledge her as your daughter?”“I…”Rowan was choking. He had yet to gain forgiveness from Xyl
