Zennie stretched a hand out for the egg tart, but she felt her vision blur halfway in the air. She could not see
Cordelia, and her voice sounded like it came from the sky. It grew farther and softer. Then her vision went black,
and she passed out.
Cordelia made sure that Zennie was unconscious and placed her on the couch, tucking her in with a pillow and a
blanket. She then told the maid, “Zennie’s a little tired and is sleeping. Keep an eye on her at the door and tuck her
in from time to time so she doesn’t catch a cold.”
Zephyr was waiting for her at the door. Cordelia wore a relieved smile as soon as she saw her husband.
“I feel a little bad for doing this to Zennie.” She felt guilty.
“It’s just some sleeping pills mixed in. It’ll be fine.” Zephyr comforted her softly. “Let her have a good sleep.

Cordelia nodded, and they departed to the agreed location to meet with Lukas.
The so-called old place was just a deserted hut in Hamerton Manor. It was some distance away from the
employees’ dorm, so there were rarely people around. When the sun set, the place was darker than elsewhere.
Zephyr had people hiding for ambush around the area while Cordelia stood alone under the bald tree. She was all
covered up and even wore a hat. Without a clear look at her face from afar, she did not look too different from
Zennie.
A while later, Lukas rushed there hastily.
Cordelia’s heartbeat quickened when she heard the footsteps behind her, but she didn’t turn around.
Lukas’ slightly hoarse voice spoke up. “I got the goods. You know what to do, right?”
Cordelia jolted and shook her head. Her hand was in her jacket pocket as she quietly pressed the recording button.
“Oh gosh, my fair lady!” Lukas was impatient. “Didn’t Phil tell you already?”
Cordelia kept her back against him and kept shaking her head.
Lukas looked around sneakily and took a step forward to say with a lowered voice, “Ms. Zennie, take this batch to
the University of Centrolis… It’s all university students there. They’re curious kids. They’ll get into it easily!”
Cordelia was alarmed. Smuggling these into the university would mean chaos. Not only would the University of
Centrolis’ century of reputation be ruined, but half of the school board was also the Hamertons’ people. The
Hamerton Group would be implicated as well!
She did not expect Phil to be so vicious and ruthless!
“Ms. Zennie, you get it now?” Lukas urged. “No… why do you keep having your back against me? Ms. Zennie, I
won’t harm you!

“Here, the goods are here. Take them and do the job well for Phil!”
Cordelia turned slightly and saw Lukas pull out a transparent bag of pills that gleamed in the dim light.
“Ms. Zennie, take it!”
“Sure,” Cordelia uttered coldly.
She twirled around and took off her hat. The moment she looked up and Lukas saw her face, he froze with a pale
face.
“M-Mrs. Hamerton!?”
His grip went slack, and the bag of pills fell to the ground.
Cordelia scoffed. Her gaze was sharp like a blade. With her order, Robert rushed out with men coming from every
direction.
Before Lukas could run, he was held down securely.
