Nelly looked toward that direction discreetly as well and discovered that he was actually staring at Cordelia!
She was shocked but did not show it, merely asking, “Mr. Irwin, the auction’s starting. Which piece are you going to
bid for?”
Rowan’s brows were furrowed lightly. His mind had long gone to Cordelia.
As he looked at her from afar and watched how a man kept her in his arms like a treasure and how she smiled that
even her dimples oozed happiness… he suddenly felt a pinch on his nose. A sob was lodged in his throat.
She really looked a lot like Xyla. Yet, the cool brilliance from her eyes looked so much like his.
Rowan smiled and felt sullen. He had promised Xyla that he would never disrupt their lives. Those formulas had
severed all their relationships. The moment Xyla left Southeast Aciatic, they were strangers to each other.
Rowan’s fingers on the wine glass tightened, and his joints turned white from the exertion.

“Hmm?” He snapped out of his thoughts and met Nelly’s questioning gaze.
“Oh, nothing.”
“Heh, did you have eyes on a pretty girl?” Nelly asked semi-jokingly. “That girl’s off limits!”
“What are you talking about?” Rowan furrowed his brows.
“Weren’t you looking at Cordelia Jenner just now?”
Rowan jolted. ‘Cordelia Jenner is her name…’
Back then, Xyla had lied about the child being William Jenner’s in order to survive in the Jenners. That was why their
daughter’s last name was Jenner.
Rowan tightened his fist, his nails stabbing into his palms.
“Ms. Tanner.” He looked at Nelly. “What were you saying about Cordelia Jenner just now?”
“Her?” Nelly scoffed. “She’s good. An illegitimate daughter of some small family hooking up with the third heir of
Centrolis’ Hamertons!”
“That’s the third heir, Zephyr Hamerton?”
“Exactly!”
There was a change in Rowan’s expression.
Nelly continued to say, “Mr. Irwin, the woman’s something. Zephyr offended Elder Mr. Hamerton in public because
of her before!
“Mr. Irwin, I hear that there’s voodoo in Southeast Aciatic that can control one’s mind… I think this Cordelia Jenner
might know some voodoo magic!”
“Really?” Rowan’s tone turned icy abruptly. “You know a lot, huh, Ms. Tanner? Why don’t I know that there’s voodoo
in Southeast Aciatic?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNelly froze upon realizing that she had said something wrong.
“Mr. Irwin, I don’t mean it like that—”
“If there’s really such powerful voodoo magic, Irwin Pharmaceuticals can close up!”
“No, no, Mr. Irwin, let me explain—”
“Ms. Tanner!” Rowan raised his voice. “I’ll ask my assistant to give you a present before I leave! It’s a few bottles of
new medicine. It’s not too expensive, but it’s good for the brain and eyes. I think they’ll do good for you!”
He left briskly upon saying that. Where did this crazy woman come from to slander his daughter right in front of
him!?
Rowan’s subordinate said softly beside him, “Mr. Irwin, the person next to Ms. Cordelia is Zephyr Hamerton… He
recuperated in Jangasas after the plane crash and met her there.”
Rowan halted abruptly like he was electrocuted.
‘The plane crash…’
The words crashed against his heart like a hammer, and a thick fog clouded his eyes.
