Nelly’s expression was stiff, and her gaze was resentful when she stared daggers at Cordelia. As Zephyr took Cordelia elsewhere, she kept her eyes on their backs and suddenly heard Mandy’s words in her ears—“You don’t have Tanner’s blood in you. You aren’t even worthy of Zephyr Hamerton.
“I shouldn’t have taken you back from the orphanage and let you be a Tanner back then!”
Nelly shook, rage almost breaking through her ribs. She took a few deep breaths to force herself to calm down.
“Hah, being mocked again?” A familiar voice sounded.
She turned back and saw Yale holding a glass of whisky as he stood leisurely with a smile. The one next to him was no longer Yelena but a young model who wore a low-cut dress.
“What does it have to do with you!?” Nelly was annoyed seeing him.
“With the woman next to Z, you don’t have to think about marrying into the Hamertons ever!” Yale gloated.
Nelly rolled her eyes at him. She was going to leave when Yale drawled his voice. “There’s someone important you have to meet in this auction!”
Nelly halted.
Yale smiled and groped the young model before letting her leave first.
Yale smirked. “Ms. Tanner, I heard that the Tanners look good only on the outside. Glitz and glamor in appearance, but it’s actually the weakest among the four major families!”
“What do you want to say?”
“I’m just saying, you want to marry Zephyr so much just to secure Tanner’s status, right?
“It doesn’t have to be through marriage,” Yale said with a chortle after a pause from swirling his glass. “I can introduce someone to you.”
“Who?” Nelly furrowed her brows.
“Rowan Irwin.”
