Carter was soaked in sweat, looking frantic with red-rimmed eyes. He failed to hold back his tears when he saw Cordelia come for him and went up to grab her.

“Cordelia, something happened at home!”

“What’s wrong?”

Cordelia felt her ears buzz, and her mind went blank.

“She came with a lot of workers saying she wants to take back the house to renovate it for her own use! Sis, didn’t your father give the house to our mom? What right does she have to take it back!?”

Cordelia’s heart thrashed. She panicked for a moment, not understanding why Yelena would do that.

“What misunderstanding could there be? Yelena must be up to no good!” Carter fumed. “She took so many people to our place today and chased me out… Hmph! There are many of them, and I can’t fight them, but Marcus can!”

“What did you say?” Cordelia halted her step and turned pale. “Your brother-in-law knows about it already?”

“Yeah!” Carter nodded. “Of course, he’s involved when it’s something so big!”
