Yelena’s eyes lit up. Her heart was pounding.
“Dad, Zennie Hamerton… is the youngest heiress of the Hamertons, right?
“Mm-hmm.” William said flatly, “I think she’s only 18 and has yet to go to university. She’s the youngest
child of the Hamertons and Mr. Z’s favorite sister. If you can get the favor of that princess, to get her to
say some good words about you to Mr. Z, there’s hope for you to marry him!”
“I know what to do now, dad!” Yelena bit her lip. She spoke after momentarily falling into deep thought.
“I’ll get someone to follow Ms. Hamerton, and I’ll hold a dinner as soon as possible. It’s best if… it’s a
charity dinner! I know the Hamertons love doing charity.”
“That’s great.” William finally revealed a smile. “You’ll send Zennie an invitation when you find her!”
“Certainly!”
“The sooner you hold the dinner, the better. Undue delay may bring trouble.”

However, what William said next brutally crushed her joy.
“Tell Cordelia about it and get her to come to the dinner!”
“What?” Yelena almost screamed out loud. “But dad—”
William raised his voice and glared at her. “What, you don’t want to?”
Joanne, who was next to him, was pissed too, but she did not speak.
Ever since the three of them had traveled all the way to Centrolis for Mr. Z’s welcome dinner and had
been stopped at the door, William felt humiliated. As such, he had been cold to Joanne.
Therefore, she could only tolerate him at the moment.
‘Be a good girl, Yelena!’ She signaled to her. ‘It’s just a dinner. That little b*tch is not your match!’
Yelena gnashed her teeth. Her fists were clenched so hard that her veins were bulging.
William scoffed. “Yelena, no matter what, Cordelia is your sister. The two of you should be good with
each other and take care of each other!”
“Okay…” It was difficult for Yelena to say that. “I’ll inform her.”
William nodded in satisfaction. He knew that Yelena would resent Cordelia now that he did that.
When one was under extreme emotions, they would lose control easily. It would be easier for him to
control her.
To him, his daughters were just the tools that he could use.
…
A few days later, Cordelia stood at the hotel entrance.
Many guests came tonight, so it was lively.
However, she was in a different world.
She had been taking care of her mother at the hospital when Yelena called. Watching her gray hair and
empty eyes, she recalled her devastating life and could not help but cry.

However, Yelena had called at that moment, telling her about the charity dinner that would happen the
next day. She had even mocked her when she called.
“Dad did you a favor to get you to come. Otherwise, an illegitimate daughter like you would have no
right to be there!”
“No need.” Cordelia replied coldly, “I’m married. I’ve nothing to do with the Jenners anymore!”
“I’m warning you, Cordelia!” A scoff came from the other side of the phone. “This is what dad wants. If
you dare to go against him, do you think he’ll forgive you, given his temper? It’s as easy as killing an
ant for him to fight you and your crazy mom!”
That jolted Cordelia’s heart.
That was why she stood here tonight.
She had not told Marcus about it. She had merely mentioned that she had to work overtime tonight,
asking him not to wait for her at dinner.
