Janine was over the moon. She met Zephyr, who was going to get changed at the patio earlier, and this brat of a son actually told her very seriously that he had brought Ms. Jenner this evening.
…
Janine nearly died in rage after hearing it and threatened him, “Zephyr Hamerton, if you dare let that woman step in my family, it’s either me or her from now on!”
Zephyr smiled nonchalantly. “Mom, it’s going to be the Hamertons that she’s marrying into anyway, not the Bakers.”
Janine choked from his retort and gnashed her teeth, glaring at him. What a horrible son she had!
She got a flute of champagne huffing and came over here only to bump into Cordelia!
…
‘Heh, this is great. My princess is here. Even the heavens are helping me!’
Janine grabbed Cordelia’s hand and flashed her a kind, motherly smile. She scanned her head to toe. “Cordelia, you look gorgeous today! The dress is pretty too. It brings out your charm!”
Cordelia smiled shyly. “My boyfriend picked it out for me.”
Janine pulled a long face right away, grumbling in her mind, ‘Boyfriend? A bumpkin’s taste! Awful!’
She quickly wore another expression and beamed again. “Right, Cordelia, you’re here for the interview, right? Come, I’ll take you to the person I wanted to introduce to you now!”
Cordelia was bewildered. This was actually the address Janine had written down for her...
'Since Aunt Janine is attending the party, she must also be connected to the four major families. She might know Zephyr’s mother then?' Cordelia frowned with a strange feeling.
While she was in a trance, Janine was pulling her away.
“Aunt Janine, I—”
“Hurry!” Janine was impatient. “I saw the guy just now. Let’s hurry to him. Don’t let him run away!”
“But I’m waiting for someone here.” Cordelia looked at her with a troubled look.
Janine paused. She could not bear to see her princess in a dilemma, so she thought about it and said, “Alright, wait here. I’ll get him over!”
