“Are you suggesting that I should let Cordelia step on our head?”

“What to do?” He glared coldly at her. “Can’t you see what’s happening? He has his heart on that woman, Kate is on her side, and… I heard Janine loves her very much as well! She came all the way from Chaiseland to support her!”

Nelly was shaking from the rage. Her face paled. “But… Elder Mr. Hamerton is on my side.”

“So what?” Joe scoffed. “Zephyr still has the last say! Moreover, be it Kate or Janine, can we afford to offend either? I’m afraid even Liam will have to think carefully before calling the shots!”

“So there’s no hope for me at all?”

Joe looked at her stubborn face. He was annoyed, so he went upstairs.

Mandy stood up from the couch slowly. She took a deep breath.

Her eyes showed utmost disgust and annoyance when she looked at Nelly.

“Mom—”

“Shut it!” yelled Mandy. “I didn’t finish what I said… The only mistake I made was that I shouldn’t have adopted you at the orphanage. I shouldn’t have made you a Tanner!”

Nelly was stunned for a long time. She heard a bang in her ears.

The past that she had forgotten tore bloody wounds in her memory. They were drowning her.

Mandy’s eyes were filled with mockery. “Nelly, you don’t have the Tanners’ blood in you. You don’t deserve Zephyr to begin with.

“Also, you’re not the person who should marry him! You’re just a replacement. If I knew that you’re so incapable, I’d rather never have a daughter like you!”
