Nelly froze and turned around.
“Oh, it’s you.” She smiled unnaturally. “Mrs. Hamerton said that she missed a piece of jewelry and asked me to
collect it here, but I don’t have the keycard.”
“It’s fine. I have a spare.” The manager smiled and immediately pulled out a keycard to open the door.
Cordelia eyed Helen with a look that asked the latter to hide in the closet. Helen did it instantly. She was petite.
Although she was old, her legs were light and agile, so she snuck into the closet swiftly.
The next moment, Nelly entered as anticipated.
It was exactly what she wanted when she saw Cordelia standing there without anyone around.
Cordelia smiled. “Ms. Tanner, you’re here to rest too?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yeah,” Nelly answered nonchalantly.
“But this is Aunt Cloud’s private room,” Cordelia replied coolly. “Shouldn’t you inform her that you want to take a
rest here?”
Nelly curled her hands into fists and kept her eyes on Cordelia.
Yelena had humiliated Kate with the word “upstart” but was chased out of the hotel by the latter instead of
succeeding. She was useless! Yelena could no longer execute the plan of slapping herself. Naturally, Nelly would be
indignant if Cordelia was not embarrassed in public.
“Aunt Cloud’s private room?” Nelly raised a brow and poured herself a glass of water at the bar, “Aren’t you here as
well?”
“We came in differently,” Cordelia said softly. “Aunt Cloud brought me in while you…”
She looked at the spare keycard in Nelly’s hand with a cryptic smile.
Nelly took a deep breath. This was not the time to get angry.
There was no surveillance camera in the room, and this was Kate’s private space. If any commotion happened
here, people would rush over instantly!
Nelly smiled and tried to act softer as she approached Cordelia.
“Can we talk?”
“About what?” Cordelia furrowed her brows.
“What’s there to talk about between us aside from Zephyr?”
Nelly’s perfume was a little too strong, and Cordelia stepped back discreetly.
“Cordelia, I know that you’ve always been hostile to me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I grew up with Zephyr, and our families made a marriage agreement long ago. Ever since I can remember, I knew
that I would marry him in the future. I’ve always seen him as my only man all these years as well…”
Nelly cast her eyes down. The arrogance she always exuded dimmed a little. She looked more like someone
devoted, whose love was unrequited.
“Cordelia, this marriage agreement isn’t just between Zephyr and me. If Zephyr stays so stubborn, we will have to
withstand pressure from our families.”
Nelly could be too immersed in her acting as the rims of her eyes turned red, and she looked rather pitiful.
“Cordelia, I’m here to sincerely discuss this with you today. Please be merciful and let me and Zephyr go!”
“Let go?” Cordelia huffed an angry laugh.
This woman in front of her was the heiress of a wealthy and reputable family, but how could she be so shameless?
“Sorry, Ms. Tanner.” Cordelia looked at her coldly. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. If you want to vent,
you’ve got the wrong person!”
She wanted to leave as she spoke, but Nelly went forward and grabbed her. “Cordelia—”
“Let go of me!”
