Cordelia saw a few elderly-looking people comforting Nelly and thought that they must be from the Tanners. The few of them were condescending as they looked at Zephyr sternly.

“Mr. Zephyr.” One of the elders spoke up. “Whatever relationship you have with this lady here, she hit Nelly. That means she’s hit the Tanners! I think you won’t just let it slide, right?”

Zephyr’s smile did not reach his eyes. “How do you want me to handle this, sir?”

“How else?” Another woman said angrily, “Let us hit her back since she has hit our Nelly! She has to take as many slaps as Nelly has taken! That’s only fair!”

Zephyr took a step forward, his tall build shielding Cordelia completely. His authoritative presence gave off enough pressure that silenced the Tanners.

“You hit me once, and I hit you back once… Hah, do you think this is child’s play, madam?”

His deep voice was commanding. “The cause and effect of the matter haven’t been cleared up, and a conclusion is made so recklessly?”

“Our Nelly’s got hit to this point. How much clearer do you want it to be!?”

“Yeah! Ms. Cordelia, here next to you, has always seen Nelly as an eyesore. It’s not surprising that she would do this!”

The elder’s gaze was strict. “ Mr. Zephyr, if you can’t make a decision, I’m afraid I’ll have to disturb Elder Mr. Hamerton tonight!”

“Everyone.” A soft voice interrupted the commotion suddenly. “Do you all really think I’ve hit Ms. Tanner?”

Cordelia stepped up with a smile, composed and gracious.
