People were looking over and whispering with piqued interest.

Nelly was unwilling to become the joke and stomped her foot, glaring at Cordelia, before she left.

Cordelia took a moment to recover. “Aunt Janine, you… You’re…”

“What is it?” Her reaction amused Janine. “I only left for a bit, and you don’t recognize me anymore?

“Right, I got you the person. It’s my son, Zephyr Hamerton!

“Zephyr, come over!” Janine turned around to call for him.

Zephyr’s expression actually mirrored Cordelia’s—they stared at Janine each other in astonishment.

As Janine watched them, she thought that they looked really matching!

“Don’t keep standing like this! Get to know each other!”

In spite of it, even Robert was dumbfounded.

Janine finally felt something was wrong and looked at Cordelia and Zephyr. She finally tossed the question to Robert.

“What’s up with the two of them?”

Robert let out a peal of laughter. “Madam Baker, when did you get acquainted with Ms. Jenner?”

“Ms. Jenner?”

“Yes!” Robert chuckled wryly. “The person Mr. Zephyr wants you to meet tonight is Ms. Cordelia Jenner!”

“C-Cordelia Jenner?”

‘My princess is a Jenner?’

“Then who did I run into at Yale’s!?’”

“Madam Baker, that’s Yelena Jenner, Ms. Cordelia Jenner’s sister by name… Ms. Jenner isn’t William Jenner’s daughter, in fact!”

This time, it was Janine’s turn to widen her eyes.

The woman his son was dead set on marrying was the same person as the daughter-in-law she was determined to have! She did not even have to introduce them, and her son had long won her daughter-in-law over!
