Zephyr was going to kiss the soft petals when…

“Sir, Ms. Jenner, should—”

Robert froze as soon as he pulled the car door open!

Cordelia gasped and shoved Zephyr away, her blush spreading from her face to the tip of her ears. Meanwhile, Zephyr gave Robert a death glare. The latter felt chills running down his neck.

‘No, but…’ He had calculated the time and clearly gotten out of the car in advance to give the two of them some private time! He thought that his boss would have finished what he wanted to say, and it was time to enter too. Why was it… such a coincidence!?

Robert’s mind went blank, and he forced a stiff smile. The next second, he closed the car door without much thought!

The Rolls-Royce had an excellent soundproofing effect. Despite that, one could still hear an angry growl from the inside while Robert fled for his life—“Robert Davis!”

When Cordelia held Zephyr’s arm and walked into the hall, everyone’s amazed gazes focused on the two of them. They made guesses and comments, jealousy and gossip interlaced within.

Cordelia kept a smile up and acted graceful and gracious, looking more like a Mrs. Hamerton.

As Zephyr went to socialize, Kate took the initiative to hold Cordelia’s hand and told him with a grin, “Don’t worry. I promise she won’t suffer any grievance by my side!”

“Thank you, Aunt Cloud.” Zephyr smiled.

Cordelia smiled at him too. The atmosphere of the party was slowly making her relax more.

She stayed next to Kate and met plenty of people. She also drank quite some wine, and her face felt warm. Kate had a high alcohol tolerance, so she had been fending the toasts off for her.

“It’s so strange,” someone commented softly. “Who’s this Ms. Jenner? Even Mrs. Kate Hamerton is won over?”

“Hah, she might just be doing that to keep her stepson happy!” A shrill voice said mockingly, “After all, how can an upstart survive in high society if she doesn’t do some pandering?”

Zephyr was not interested in Neil’s background. He looked indifferent and tossed the spatula on the counter, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. There was an unknown emotion in his eyes.

Nicholas continued. “It’s said that Neil Harris is from Mengasas, and his family has relations with the military of Southeast Aciatic. His accomplishments certainly come from his hard work, but he wouldn’t get popular so fast if he didn’t have support behind him!”
