“Haha! Great!” Yale was in glee and clapped Fredric’s shoulder.
“As expected of a lawyer, so efficient!”
Fredric suppressed his disgust and bowed politely. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yale.”
“Hah, I know that your only concern’s Michelle!” Yale smiled.
Michelle’s intelligence was lacking, but she was lucky to have someone like Fredric sacrifice everything for her. As
long as he kept a good grip on the woman, he would not have to worry about Fredric not working for him!
“Don’t worry,” Yale said in a lowered voice. “I’ll keep paying for her internet presence and get her trending. She’ll
be popular for sure!”
“I feel bad that you have to spend.”
“No need for that!” Yale was gleeful. “The set of medicinal formulas is very valuable. As long as it can be
developed, no one in the Hamertons will dare look down on me!”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRowan had been really good these days and loitered around Imperial Media whenever he could. He was not just
doing that—each time he went, he would bring tea and snacks for everyone. The receptionists and security guards
knew him as a friendly and nice man and hoped he would visit every day.
“That’s the head of the Irwins in Southeast Aciatic?”
“Yeah, and he’s the medical association president there too!”
“I’ve always seen him on TV, and he looks stern whenever the camera catches him. I didn’t expect him to be so
friendly in private!”
To keep a good relationship with people around Cordelia, Rowan pandered to the celebrities Cordelia managed
these two days.
Some clueless female celebrities threw themselves into his arms, thinking that they run into some mindless sugar
daddy. They backed off speedily when they later heard that he was Cordelia’s birth father. After all, no one had the
courage to be the stepmother of Mrs. Hamerton.
Neil was totally amused as he followed Rowan around with his phone to record him, only to be glared at by the
latter.
“Uncle— Oh, no, I should be calling you uncle-in-law now?”
Rowan rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Neil, who had spent years in showbiz, had a strong sense of camera shooting, so he had captured the rare scene.
“The head of the Irwins, honorable and mighty in Southeast Aciatic. Why isn’t the status powerful anymore in
Centrolis, especially in Imperial Media?”
Rowan was already vexed, so he nearly snatched Neil’s phone out of his hand. The latter kept it with a smile and sat
down straight, turning into a goody two shoes within seconds.
“And you’re still laughing!” Rowan complained. “What happened to persuading Cordelia for me? All you do is shoot
films and commercials all day! Turned into a money lover now, huh!?”
Neil was innocent. If his fans saw his handsome face coupled with his current expression, Rowan might not be able
to leave Imperial Media’s building.
“You can’t blame me for my cousin! I looked for ways to get close to her to try and warn her about it… but your

“Do you know that he nearly shelved me? Thank goodness Madam Baker’s sensible and signed me…”
“Alright, alright!” Rowan was even more irritated upon hearing Janine’s name.
Neil chuckled and said, “Uncle-in-law, you’ve been absent for so many years. If I were Cordelia… I’d hate you too!”
“Are you trying to rub salt into my wound now!?”
Neil knew that he would be pricked the next second, so he quickly put some distance between them.
Back when Rowan usurped the Irwins and all hell broke loose, Neil was only around one or two years old. He only
knew about the incident from the adults.
Despite that, his mother had told him that his aunt was not the sinner of the family. It was not wrong to love
someone. Moreover, Rowan did not drive the whole Irwins to a dead end.
That was why growing up, Neil kept his respect for his aunt, whom he had never met, and the man he called uncle
did treat them well.
“What brings you here, Mr. Harris?”
A voice rang at the moment. Mr. Smith came over and greeted Rowan courteously when he saw him.
“You’re here too, Mr. Irwin? Come with me. Mrs. Hamerton would like to have a chat with you.”
