Ava dashed over like she had lost her mind before Millie could finish.
Millie reacted in time and took two steps back, so Ava did not manage to hit her but fell down and screamed
hysterically.
The reporters were quick to capture the scene, and the cameras’ flashes flickered instantly.
Trinity saw that it was time and shot her assistant a look. The screen showed Prestige Agency’s accounts, where the
15,000,000 Eropah dollars from Chuck came from, and news about Chuck being caught.
“I’d also like to announce something.” Trinity was calm and authoritative. “There’ve been rumors previously saying
that Ms. Baker’s joining the production as the female lead with the investment funds she’s bringing in. I can clarify
this now…
“Ms. Ava Baker did join with the funds, but the amount, 15,000,000 Eropah dollars, is actually for money laundering

“I, Trinity Lulham, as a filmmaker with conscience, will hand all illegal funds to the police and work with them the
best I can!”
Ava looked at the screen wide-eyed as if she had fallen into hell, and her mind went blank.
…
Soon, the police arrived, and Ava was caught in detention to be tried.
Not only did the Bakers send their lawyer team, but they also sent their best PR team to minimize the impact of this
matter as much as possible.
It was fortunate that the Baker Group’s shares did not fall and actually increased significantly because of the
assistance in catching Chuck.
The matter came to a close, but Noah was greatly affected and turned much quieter and gloomier.
Franklin talked to Zephyr and Cordelia, deciding to let Noah go to Centrolis with them after Cordelia gave birth.
Perhaps, changing the environment would be better for him.
Carter made a copy of Noah’s medical history and took the flight back to Southeast Aciatic.
“Cordelia, Zephyr, don’t worry,” he said with a smile before he left. “The first thing I’ll do after I get home will be to
pass the records to dad. I think he’ll have a way!”
Zephyr patted his shoulder with a grateful smile.
There was one week left until Cordelia’s expected due date. Both husband and wife were incredibly cautious these
days, avoiding going out as much as possible and waiting for the baby’s arrival at home.
The weather was getting warmer. Sleep sometimes could not come to Cordelia at night because of how warm it
was, and she would stay snuggled in Zephyr’s arms, firing him trap questions.
“Darling, the lines on my stomach are growing worse…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZephyr perked up in alert. According to experience, he could not say that they were “not getting worse” or what he
thought. He also could not say things like she was pretty no matter what…
His wife was asking for his attention and needed his empathy right now.
Hence, he hugged her and smiled softly. With a hoarse voice tinged with self-blame and guilt, he told her, “It’s all
my fault that you have these marks. My bad! Thank you, darling.”
Cordelia paused before the corners of her lips flew up. She had to admit that the honeyed words were so sweet
that they went straight to her heart.
“Then… honey.” She brightened up and switched positions in Zephyr’s arms to continue asking, “If, I’m saying if,
you meet a girl who’s younger, prettier, and better shaped than me, and has no stretch marks on her, is talented
and understanding, and you like her very much… What will you do?”
Zephyr was stunned while listening and worked quickly to search for the keyword in her question.
He liked her very much? This was an obvious trap and unlike his wife’s style!
Hmm, there must be another trap within the trap!
Zephyr chuckled and rubbed the tip of his nose against her forehead.
“That’s not right…” he replied softly. “How do I ‘meet’ this girl? It’s simply impossible!”
