“Just be patient, Aunt Tanner,” Cordelia said with a smile. “Stay as you are for now.”
Mandy looked anxious.
“I own half of the Tanner Group… To be precise, 2/3 of it is mine! Before Joe married me, he was nothing! The wedding gift I brought along filled up the gap and hole in the Tanners!
“But he betrayed me and raised his illegitimate daughter right under my nose for 20 years! He played me like a fool!” The more Mandy spoke, the more agitated she was as she hit the side of the bed with clenched fists.
Once she thought about this, she was repulsed and regretful.
She had taken care of an illegitimate daughter but overlooked her birth daughter’s feelings for so many tears. She was not worthy as a mother!
“Aunt Tanner, don’t be like this.” Cordelia quickly stopped her. “Don’t worry. Nelly won’t have the Tanner Group, and Mr. Tanner isn’t the sole decision-maker in the company. There are other shareholders!
“What you have to do now is to eat and sleep well and take care of yourself properly.” Zephyr looked at her. “You can only fight them when you’re healthy.”
Mandy looked up at them with a moved gaze. Despite what happened, she did not expect that Zephyr and Cordelia would be willing to help her and Kelly. Everything was moving in a positive direction now, and she believed that Nelly would not get to gloat for long.
Zephyr told her seriously, “Aunt Tanner, we’re here today to visit you and tell you about this so that you’re mentally prepared. When we need you, we hope you can help us with your all!”
“Zephyr, Ms. Cordelia…” Mandy’s voice was quivering. “Don’t say that. You’re my saviors! Let me know anytime you need me. I’ll give it my best shot!”
…
With how everything was progressing, these few days were exceptionally quiet.
It was Cordelia’s day off on Friday, and she slept until 10:00 a.m., going out to bask in the sun in her slippers after having a quick breakfast.
The fall sunlight was warm, and she sat on the swing leisurely. Ginger came over to rub against her but ran off when it saw Zephyr.
Cordelia turned to smile at him and leaned against his shoulder lazily when he came over and sat next to her.
“Kelly’s recovering well.” Zephyr wrapped an arm around her. “Looks like Mr. Irwin lives up to his title.”
