The crowd gasped. All of them were happy to keep watching since no one would be dumb enough to offend Mrs. Hamerton for Yelena. Moreover, Yelena deserved it.

"You look very angry, Ms. Yelena," Kate said coldly, looking at her with a sense of superiority. "Just nice. The iced wine will put out the fire for you!"

Yelena shrieked and wiped her face, smudging her makeup. She refused to give up and grabbed the cake on the side. Before she could throw it, the security guards who came in time pinned her down. Kate paced to her slowly and reeled in her smile. Her gaze was stern and sharp.

"If you're too free next time and let me hear you whine and gossip behind my back again, it's not going to be as simple as putting out the fire then! I'll put your tongue out as well!"

...

Kate took Cordelia to the restroom to touch up their makeup.

"I've long wanted to teach that woman a lesson!" Kate reapplied her bright red lipstick, looking even livelier.

"How could Yale be okay with such a repulsive thing? My impression of the Hamerton heirs just hit a new low!

"Yelena, too. Since Yale has eyes for her, she should just be good and stay in Yale Residence! Why must she come and taint my eyes..."

As she spoke, she looked at Cordelia and suddenly thought of something. "Uh, Cordelia, you... You don't mind, right?"

Cordelia was startled and chuckled. "Of course not!"

"Then I've overthought it." Kate smiled as well. "I know that you value relationships, so I was worried that you might feel bad since I was so impolite to Yelena just now."

"Even though I value relationships, it depends on who it is," answered Cordelia. "I'm willing to sincerely repay those who are nice to me, but why should I be nice to those who are not so nice to me or even hurt me?"

"Mm, that's right!" Kate patted her shoulder.

Like Janine, Kate was also a woman who was clear about what she hated and loved.

Cordelia thought that she was lucky. She had assumed Zephyr's two mothers to be tough to handle, but they were unexpectedly easy to get along with.

Kate finished touching up her makeup and smiled at Cordelia. "I have a few business friends that I have to meet as a whole. They're from the Clouds, so it's not quite convenient for me to take you along..." "It's alright!" Cordelia quickly said, "I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."

"I intended to let Zennie keep you company, but who expected that she'd fall and bust her head at this time? She's still resting at home today."

Cordelia remembered Zennie's pale and timid look and could not help the lurch of her heart.

There was a knock on the door before Helen came in with a smile. She greeted Kate and went to Cordelia.

"Mr. Zephyr told me that Ms. Zennie can't keep you company, so he asked this old woman to come!"

Cordelia nodded.

Kate went out to greet her guests while Cordelia rested on the couch in deep thought.

Helen asked with a smile, "Ms. Cordelia, aren't you going to the party?"

"I don't really want to..."

"Is it because Mr. Zephyr isn't with you, so you're not in the mood no matter what you do?"

"Aunt Helen!" Cordelia blushed and giggled shyly.

"Great to be young, isn't it?" Helen grinned teasingly. "Ms. Cordelia, all you and Mr. Zephyr are missing is a child! How's the soup I made you these two days?"

Before the conversation could go on, they heard noises outside, like someone was trying to open the door to the restroom.

Cordelia was in the room inside the suite. She paused and gestured for Helen to take a look.

"It might be Ms. Tanner." Helen frowned. "I ran into her in the hallway when I was coming just now. Wait here. I'll fetch Mr. Zephyr!"

"No need." Cordelia calmed down and looked around. She thought that if it were Nelly, the latter must not have good intentions coming, so she must figure out something to protect herself.

In spite of it, this was a deluxe suite of a hotel, and there could never be any surveillance setup in the room.

She bit her lips and heard voices outside again.

"Ms. Tanner, why are you standing here?"
