Cordelia was stunned and failed to react.

Meanwhile, the lady introduced herself naturally. “You’ve never met me, cousin-in-law. I’m Ava, my dad is Noah. I’m sure you’ve met my dad!”

“Oh!” Cordelia came to a realization. “So, you’re Zen’s cousin.”

“That’s right!” Ava smiled.

Cordelia had seen Zephyr’s uncle at the family dinner.

He was a strange man. He was plump like a ball, and he looked wicked when he smiled. His existence made one uncomfortable.

It was said that he was also the person among the Bakers who was against Janine and Zephyr the most.

He would always say privately: “Why get someone with a different family name to take over the Bakers’ matters?”

However, he would flatter them when they were around.

Ava was not Noah’s daughter. She was his wife’s daughter with another man. They said she was great at pleasing the adults. He loved her, giving her the life of a princess.

Nobody in the Bakers dared to say that she was a drag.

It was said that she had asked to change her family name when she was ten. The old man had disagreed at first. After her and her mother’s years of persuasion, she finally got to change her last name to Baker when she became an adult.

The Bakers did not say anything on the surface, but they would secretly mock her.

“Why change her family name out of nowhere? She just wants a share of the interests and estates!”

“Nobody knows if she will get anything! Ha, don’t conclude anything now just because the Bakers’ first daughter is taking over. The grandson with a different family name will take over in the future!”

“Would he trouble his own uncle?”

“We don’t know that! Let’s see.”
