Even though they were shocked by her presence, they had to admit that Cordelia indeed looked a lot prettier after Zennie helped her with her dress and makeup.

While she was walking side by side with Zennie, both of them looked just like a pair of sisters who came out of a fairyland, and everyone in the hall was dazzled by their beauty.

“This is my best friend.” Zennie smiled. “I’m sure you don’t need me to introduce her to you, right?”

Yelena’s face turned pale. She clenched her fists tightly, and her lips were trembling so much that she could not utter a single word.

“C-Cordelia?” William’s trembling voice wafted into their years. “You’re Ms. Hamerton—”

“We’ve been good friends for a long time, Mr. Jenner,” Zennie interrupted him. After that, she looked at Cordelia and asked, “Have you never told your family about me, Cordelia? How could you do this to me?”

Cordelia just looked at her with a smile on her face.

“No way!” Yelena shouted, bringing everyone’s focus back to her. “What the hell are you doing here, Cordelia? There’s no way someone like you would be her friend! Besides, didn’t you already—”

“Already what?” William frowned.

Yelena stopped midway through her sentence, and her face became even darker.

“What are you so nervous about, Yelena?” Cordelia smiled gently while shooting a sharp gaze at Yelena. “Why do you look so surprised to see me here?”

Yelena shot daggers at her and bit her lips tightly.

“My sister brought me to the basement, so it took me quite a while to get out of there.” Cordelia smiled coldly. “But my sister was kind enough to let in a few rats to keep me company. I guess they must be your pets, right?”

“You…”

“What did you say?” William’s face sank, and he looked at Yelena. “You locked Cordelia up with a few rats in the basement?”
