Zephyr scoffed. “Then I’ll make their wish come true!”

Nicholas smiled. “When Marcus gets to Chaiseland, he’ll fall into our trap!”

The Jenner Group’s board of directors meeting would go on as planned. After stepping into the building, Cordelia took a deep breath and walked straight into William’s office.

She must speak to him before the meeting began.

William was preparing the meeting materials. He was a little stunned to see her.

She did not call him “dad”. Instead, she said courteously, “President Jenner.”

William frowned.

Cordelia laid out the documents that she was holding before him.

“What’s this?” His face changed.

It was written clearly on these documents that she was returning the shares.

Her signature was at the bottom.

From the moment she found out she was not his daughter by blood, she had made up her mind that she would cut ties with the Jenners.

“I’m here today to return my shares.” Cordelia enunciated clearly. “Sir, I’m sure you knew that… I’m not your daughter by blood.”

William looked even more terrible now. His cunning eyes stared at her while complicated emotions were surging inside of him.

Cordelia’s heart was pounding. Before coming, she thought there would be two possibilities.

One was that William would accept her request to return the shares, and she would cut ties with the Jenners.

However, the chances of that happening were low.

If he already knew that she was not her daughter, yet he gave her the shares, there must be something fishy about it. That was what she wanted to find out.

Therefore, returning the shares was just a pretense.

In reality, she wanted to test him, to see what he would say!

Cordelia’s face paled. She lifted his T-shirt immediately to check the wound.

As expected, there was an obvious mark on his back.

“It’s red!” She rubbed it, feeling heartbroken. She then turned around to look at Linda.

“Look, Linda! Nicholas kicked him!”

Never had Nicholas thought his darling, who had been showing off their love with him earlier, was glaring at him like she was a different person now.

“Hey, why did you do that!?”

“Linda, aren’t you going to
