Cordelia’s heart was pounding, her mind empty.
The voice out there… sounded like a young lady.
Who was she? Why was she here?
“Ugh, this lock is so annoying!” The lady sighed. “Um… Please stay back! I’m going to use a rock to
break the lock!”
Cordelia was stunned but did as she was told and backed up to the corner of the wall.
The sound of the lady slamming the door echoed throughout the entire basement. It was quite
terrifying.
Soon, as a thud was heard and a chain fell, a crisp clang came.
The door opened, but Cordelia was stiff. Her arms and legs seemed to be frozen.
“Sis?” A pretty figure flashed by. “Why aren’t you moving!?”
“You…”
“Let’s go!” Before Cordelia managed to speak, a pair of soft, tiny hands held her.
She could no longer think about anything rationally. She could only follow that lady, escaping this dark

There were many dead rats at the door, as well as a baseball bat and a big rock.
It seemed like the lady killed those rats.
Although her hands were skinny, they were very warm. Like a life savior, Cordelia held her tight. She
suddenly had the urge to cry.
She ran with her through the darkness until they finally saw a subtle light.
“Okay, you’re safe now.” The two of them walked on the hotel corridor side by side. She smiled at
Cordelia, pulled her into the elevator, and pressed the button to the highest floor.
Only Cordelia saw the lady’s face now.
She was beautiful, had a pair of smiling eyes, and her smile was as pretty as colored cotton candy.
Not only that, but she looked… familiar.
Cordelia was stunned, but she could not recall when she met this person.
“Are you all right, sis?”
“Oh, I’m okay.” When Cordelia snapped back to her senses, she looked at her with gratitude. She gave
her a deep bow.
“Hey, what’s this!? You don’t have to do that.
“My name’s Zennie,” she introduced herself while smiling. “What’s your name?”
‘So she is Ms. Hamerton!?’
Cordelia looked at her blankly. Her lips moved, but she could not say a word.
She only asked softly after a while. “H-How did you know that I was in the basement? You’re a girl, and
it’s dangerous for you to go there! Did those rats hurt you? There’s a virus on them, and they’re
infectious!”
Zennie did not think of the answers to those questions.
She did not know what to say.
She had no interest in the charity dinner. She had only agreed to attend after Yelena called her many
times to annoy her. She had wanted to get some air in the garden before going. Never had she thought
she would overhear Yelena getting someone to hurt Cordelia.
It was her sister-in-law!

Therefore, she had secretly followed them to the basement and then got the hotel’s security guard to
get tools to kill the rats.
However, her foolish sister-in-law did not care about herself. Instead, she worried about Zennie’s life!
Her affection level for Cordelia skyrocketed instantly, and she revealed a sweet smile.
Cordelia’s hair was messy, and her clothes were dirty. She looked beaten.
However, the light in her eyes struck Zennie’s heart. She finally realized the reason Zephyr did not want
to return to Centrolis.
At that moment, the elevator’s bell rang, and the doors opened. Cordelia’s eyes lit up at the top floor’s
sophistication.
Zennie pulled her into the suite.
People were waiting inside, and they bowed at them respectfully.
Zennie placed Cordelia at the dresser while smiling, and the latter felt uncomfortable. “Ms. Hamerton,
what are you doing?”
