William had always been a smart person. He knew exactly when to adapt to the circumstances.
Every guest in the hall looked at each other. There were smiles on their faces as if they were watching a movie.
“Yelena, stop making a fool of yourself here!” William shouted, “Get back home now! I don’t want to see you!”
“Dad—”
“Now!”
Yelena’s face was livid with rage. Her eyes were misted over with tears. She glared at Cordelia before turning around and running out of the banquet hall.
Joanne wanted to help her daughter, but she did not know how. In the end, she could only stand at the sideline and watch as her husband scolded her. What’s more, she had to force a smile on her face.
Willian let out a sigh and whipped up a smile on his face. He turned to Zennie and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Hamerton. I promise you that I’ll educate my daughter well in the future. I’m pretty sure that what happened today was just a misunderstanding, I—”
“Mr. Jenner,” Zennie interrupted him with a cold smirk. “I don’t think I have any right to poke my nose into your family affairs. But I’ll never forgive anyone who tries to bully my friend! I hope you’ll remember that!”
“Yes! Yes!” William said, his forehead filled with a layer of cold sweat.
Zennie glanced at him and led Cordelia to the main table.
The banquet continued, but a few people were looking at them.
“Mr. Jones, since when did Cordelia become Ms. Hamerton’s friend?”
“That’s right… This is so strange…”
Something flashed across Oliver’s eyes as he frowned slightly.
Cordelia was Marcus’ wife, but she was Zennie’s best friend…
This could only mean one thing—Marcus was Zephyr!
Someone whispered, “Mr. Jones, now that everything has come to light, should we make our move?”
“No, stay put first,” said Oliver. “We must not alert them unless we have concrete evidence to prove that Marcus is Zephyr. Otherwise, we might not be able to explain this to Mr. Hamerton. He might think that we’re misleading him again.”
