Nelly’s gaze flickered with viciousness when she saw Cordelia. She looked natural again swiftly and approached them with a smile, greeting openly, “Mr. Z!”

Cordelia’s heart squeezed, and she looked at Zephyr instinctively. A woman’s sixth sense was always sharp.

“Heh, Mr. Z!” Nelly stood before them and scanned Cordelia. “This is Ms. Jenner?”

Cordelia nodded politely as a greeting.

Zephyr did not look great. His brows were scrunched as he asked icily, “What are you doing here?”

“Grandpa’s asking for you!” Nelly emphasized on purpose, “He knew that Robert wouldn’t be able to persuade you, so he could only send me!”

Cordelia’s gaze dimmed.

Robert was Zephyr’s subordinate and the most reliable person around the latter. He could not do it, but this woman could? Why must the Hamerton patriarch send her specifically?

What she implied was simply that her status in the Hamertons and even Zephyr’s heart was extraordinary.

Cordelia chuckled. She could feel that the woman had not come with kind intentions the moment she got out of the car. She had the full picture now.

Nelly approached Zephyr. “Zephyr, let’s hurry back. Don’t keep grandpa waiting!

“Oh, right.” She looked at Cordelia and said with a smile, “Did you run into some trouble, Ms. Jenner? Why else would Zephyr be in such a hurry that he left the family dinner and rushed off?”

“Really?” Cordelia glanced at Zephyr and tugged his sleeve discreetly to pull him toward her.

“I’m sorry. Hurry back!”

“Hah, Ms. Jenner.” Nelly glanced at her. “If you encounter any trouble, you don’t actually have to make Zephyr rush all the way here. It’s the same telling me! I’ll do my best to help.”

Cordelia replied indifferently, “Mm, thank you.”

“You’re welcome! I grew up together with Zephyr. His friends are my friends!”
