Aurelia's big eyes seemed to have lost their usual shine and held a hint of terror.
"Cordelia… that woman, I-I think I know her!"
…
Melorian's weather in June was damp, mild, and rainy. It was going to be summer, but the temperature remained low, especially chilly at night.
Zephyr took a cardigan to drape on Cordelia, who was on the balcony, and hugged her from the back.
"What are you thinking about?"
Cordelia reeled in her gaze to turn to Zephyr. "Zephyr, do you think what Aurelia said… is true?"
Zephyr's gaze dimmed.
Cordelia had told him all about Hannah's visit today and Aurelia's encounter during her abduction the other day.
"She was blindfolded that day, but she heard the voices clearly. Hannah spoke Acian, so it left a deep impression on her."
Zephyr's expression was as grim as he clenched his fists.
If this was really the case, Hannah cheated with Chuck, and Noah was kept in the dark…
Once this was exposed, Noah would lose his wife and money, becoming the victim who was hurt the deepest. The Bakers might be implicated as well!
"Zephyr…"
Cordelia could feel his emotions surge and hugged him back softly as she snuggled him.
"Don't think of the worst-case scenario first! It might not be!" she consoled softly. "Aunt Hannah and Uncle Noah have been married for so many years. It's impossible there's nothing between them. And I don't think she's that bold…"
"She's not?" Zephyr sneered. "Hah, she's used my uncle all these years to get so much money and do all these failing businesses with his name… I finally know why now.
"She's supporting Chuck Cole. She's stealing the Bakers' money to support her lover!"
Cordelia held his hand.
