Xyla was pale as she trembled. Her eyes were slightly red as she stared at William like she had seen a ghost.
He had indeed taken her in back then, but he had also destroyed her! He had made her think that Cordelia was his daughter, and she nearly did not want her!
Memories from years ago rushed into Xyla’s mind like a tidal wave. The past pain and darkness were wounds and scars she no longer wanted to revisit in this life.
“Are you still thinking about that man?” William snickered. “He’s long gotten married with children! He didn’t want you a long time ago! He took over the Irwins and used you to achieve his goal, then kicked you to the side!”
“Enough!” Xyla screamed, covering her ears.
“I’m the only one in this world who’s nice to you!” William’s face was twisted. “Xyla Irwin! The Jenner Group’s exploring a new market. If this medicine is successfully developed, then—”
“Impossible!” growled Xyla. “Don’t even think about it! I’ve destroyed it. It’s not with me now. You aren’t the only one who won’t have it. Nobody from the Irwins can dream about getting it!”
“You…”
William raised his hand, but Cordelia rushed up to stop him.
“This is none of your business. Move aside!”
“I don’t know what you guys are talking about, but please stop triggering my mom!” Cordelia was fearless. “This is my home. I’ll call the police if you don’t leave right now!”
“Cordelia, you—”
“Dad!” Yelena instigated, “Stop asking this crazy woman. What you want to find must still be in this house. Let’s search for it ourselves!”
William paused and nodded.
Cordelia was not expecting them to be so shameless and fought Yelena, only for William to grab her wrist and shove her aside. Losing her balance, she slammed against the wall.
She got up despite the pain and frantically looked for her phone to call the police when the doorbell rang…
She could not hold back her tears the moment she saw Zephyr.
