The loud thud gave a squeeze to Cordelia’s heart. She snapped her head up and happened to see William’s cold stare and a subtle smile at the corner of his lips.
After leaving the office, Yelena pulled her from behind before she could get out of the building.
“Stop!”
She turned her head, and Yelena’s slap came to her face!
Fortunately, she had come prepared. She dodged swiftly, and Yelena missed. As she was attempting to slap her again, Cordelia grabbed her wrist tight!
Yelena’s stare was vicious, but Cordelia did not want to give in at all. She shook her off.
The share return documents were scattered on the floor. The blank part where William was supposed to sign seemed extra ironic now.
Yelena screamed as if she had gone mad.
At that moment, Cordelia had a complicated feeling.
She thought about it from a different angle. If she and Carter had the same father and different mother, she had been despising him since young, had tried everything to put him in trouble, and eventually found out that he was not her brother, yet her mother had given him what belonged to her…
She might be mad about it too.
She took what belonged to Yelena, but she was not one of the Jenners. It was just absurd.
Cordelia took a deep breath. She wanted to stop Yelena from stirring trouble in the company.
However, just when she got close to her, Yelena suddenly turned around and tossed the cactus plant on the counter at her!
“Ahh!” Cordelia was shocked and instinctively wrapped her arms around her head.
At that moment, a big figure came rushing. He hugged her and dodged aside!
The cactus crushed onto the floor.
The lobby fell into silence suddenly. The employees were dumbfounded as they watched.
Cordelia tried her best to suppress her racing heart. She lifted her eyes to look. “Hubby…”
Zephyr’s expression was so cold it was smothering. He stared ferociously at Yelena.
“Let’s go home, hubby.”
Zephyr patted her head. “Are you hurt?”
“No.”
