Hannah’s eyes were scheming.
Ava nodded with a light laugh. “Mom, I know!”
She showed Hannah her phone as she answered. The chat was full of her texts to Cordelia. Other than daily
greetings, there were random things she shared throughout the day as well.
It was just that it usually took about 20 texts from her in exchange for an indifferent “Mm” from Cordelia.
Hannah furrowed her brows again as she browsed the chat. She thought that it was not enough.
“Ava, why are you texting her these useless things all the time?”
Ava widened her eyes. “Didn’t you ask me to get close to her and be her only friend in the family…”
“Are you stupid!?” Hannah emphasized. “It’s true that I’ve asked you to pander to her, but I want you to say useful
things!”
“Useful things?”
“A man is the loneliest when the woman’s pregnant!” Hannah spoke confidently. “You should ask about where
Zephyr is and what he’s doing when you chat with her! Silly girl, do I have to teach you everything?”
Ava ducked her head, smiling with pink cheeks.
She liked Zephyr. They were not related by blood, so she had never hidden the fact that she liked him. It was just
that her feelings could not exactly be known openly as they were cousins in title.
This was not what Hannah thought. In her opinion, no man could not be snatched, just like how there was none who
would not cheat.
Back then, she married into the Bakers with her daughter and was caught in heavy criticism. She also knew that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe would not have been able to get into the Bakers if Noah was not mentally challenged. It was because he was
mentally handicapped that her ulterior intention was clear.
She had been holding the grudge back. She had sworn to make her daughter marry gloriously and strut the red
carpet as an award-winning actress—she wanted her to be successful! She wanted every Baker who had mocked
her, despised her, and insulted her to have a good look that she and her daughter would be superior to them one
day!
If Ava could get together with Zephyr, that would be a boost in her plan and a slap in the Bakers’ faces—especially
Janine’s. The latter had always looked down on them!
Hannah took a deep breath and looked at Ava quietly. “Ava, you have to do this for mom, understand?”
“Mm!” Ava nodded.
They did not expect that Trinity, who was hiding behind a pillar, had heard everything they said. She had wanted to
go back to the studio to edit the film but overheard the juicy piece of news just as she got to the door.
Trinity snickered and pulled out her phone to text her assistant.
[I won’t be going back to the studio. Will edit in the afternoon. Not taking any visitors!]
…
While Cordelia walked toward the car park, she gasped at Trinity’s speedy editing.
“You’re amazing! Didn’t you need an hour? I feel like I haven’t even finished a cup of coffee and you’re here!”
“Have less coffee as a pregnant woman!” Trinity stared at her and wiped the corner of her lips for her. Her gentle
action was like that of a perfect boyfriend.
“Caffeine affects your sleep. It’s not good for the baby! You can only have a cup every three days from now on. No
more than that! You hear me?”
Cordelia grinned and held Trinity’s arm, leaning her head on the latter’s shoulder.
“Sigh, if I didn’t meet Zephyr first, I’d totally swoon over you!”
“My goodness, don’t say things like that! First of all, I’m straight. Second of all, this basement car park has cameras.
If a certain green-eyed monster sees you sticking so close to me, I’ll lose my job!”
They entered the car, chatting and giggling. Coincidentally, they saw Hannah and Ava, who got into their car not too
far away.
Cordelia paused, prompting Trinity to ask what was wrong, and she pointed in their direction.
“Oh, isn’t that the small fry?” Trinity wore a sarcastic look.
“That’s Ava Baker.” Cordelia widened her eyes. “You know her?”
“Sure!” Trinity shrugged. “She says she’s Madam Baker’s niece and emails me her photos all day. But I think she
really doesn’t fit the female lead, so I haven’t responded. And there, she came again today and waited for me at
my studio…
“Oh, Cordelia!” Trinity suddenly remembered something. “Do you know why those employees took you as an intern
and picked on you?”
…
A few days later, Zephyr returned from Puarvis together with three business contracts.
Cordelia could see Zephyr once she tuned in to the financial news these days. Her husband on screen was already
drool-worthy, but she thought that he looked even better in real life.

He was poised on the TV as he talked fluently in Chaisene and Feransai. The tailored black suit was cool and stylish
on him, while his serious look and the innate commanding presence he carried both pushed and pulled people in.
Cordelia’s crescent eyes and dimples were evidence of how blissful she was.
Zephyr stood on the balcony and could not help chuckling when he saw that she was watching the replay again.
“Sir? Are you listening?” Robert’s voice came from the line.
Zephyr snapped back to himself and coughed. “Mm, yes.”
“Then… what’s your plan?”

Robert was in Centrolis, but everything in the Baker Group was under his monitor. He reported all that happened in
Baker Tower to Zephyr, especially the part where Cordelia had been assumed to be an intern.
Not only had he pulled out the surveillance recording, but he also got the detailed process from Trinity.
“Those women were instructed by Ava.” Zephyr snickered. “Looks like she and Aunt Hannah are up to something
again.”
“I heard that Ava wants to get into Trinity’s production, and Hannah’s actively participating in the bidding.”
“Which bidding?”
“You’ve forgotten?” Robert chuckled. “That fashion week order!”
Zephyr recalled. ‘Hah! Hannah has a big appetite!’
However…
He turned to the room and saw that Cordelia had already switched the channel and was doing prenatal yoga
following the TV show.
‘She feels bored being in Chaiseland, right?’ Zephyr smirked. He would get her something to do then!
