“Aunt Helen…” Cordelia was touched. She held tight to her hands.
The former peeped at her. She chuckled while pursing her lips.
She was an old lady who had nothing. Naturally, she had no fear.
Since she was going to face a prestigious family like the Tanners, she was not afraid at all. She must go all in to fight
for Cordelia.
Without Cordelia and Zephyr, how would she have such a stable life?
Living in this world, one had to remember their roots and repay what they received.
“What a joke!” Mandy had never been criticized like that in her life.
It was ridiculous to think that she was questioned by a servant when her family and the Hamertons had the same
status!
“My Nelly is the one who is hurt! It’s my family who is humiliated! Yet, you’re blackmailing me?

video if you dare. Let’s see what it’s all about!”
Mandy spoke before she thought. It was too late, even if Joe wanted to stop her.
The crowd was gossiping. They wanted to see what the video was about.
Helen smiled and coughed. “Naturally, I’ll show everyone the video. But please be our witness. If my miss is
innocent, then the Tanners will have to compensate her! That’s not too much, right?”
“Mm-hmm, not at all!” There was a voice supporting Cordelia among the crowd.
Zephyr chuckled and secretly complimented Helen’s smart move. Later on, he found the video on the phone and
played it.
Nelly instantly appeared on the screen!
She was pulling Cordelia, refusing to let her go. Then she slapped her own face with both her hands…
The clear sound could be heard through the screen. One could imagine how hard that was!
The truth came out.
The guests who had been holding back laughed out loud. Some even took out their phones to record the video.
They said they had never seen anyone slapping themselves. It was thanks to the Tanners that they were given the
opportunity to see that.
Joe’s face paled, and he shuddered.
The other Tanner family members felt embarrassed. They left when nobody saw them.
“We’ve watched the video now.” Zephyr returned the phone to Helen. There was a cold smile on his intimidating
face.
“Please, tell me who exactly hit your daughter?”
Joe closed his eyes and frowned. He looked troubled.
Mandy looked at Nelly with a cryptic look on her face. She pushed her hand away in silence. Just like Joe, she was
pale as she stood where she was.

compensate us, right?”
“That’s right!” Kate walked out from the crowd.
She felt amazing to see Joe and Mandy humiliated. She was mean as she added oil to the fire.
“Oh my, it’s my birthday today! Forget that you guys don’t want to be here, but there’s no need to be party-
poopers!
“I know the Clouds are not welcomed among the upper class!” Kate raised her voice on purpose. “A woman even
called me an upstart earlier. I heard that woman is close with Ms. Tanner!”
“Don’t spew nonsense, Mrs. Hamerton!” Joe panicked.
“Oh?” Kate looked up. “Sure, I won’t do that, but what are you going to do to compensate our Cordelia?
“Your daughter can’t suffer, yet my daughter-in-law should be framed for nothing!?”
Joe looked terrible.
Zephyr held Cordelia’s hand, their fingers interlocked. He turned his head to look at her. There was an alluring smile
on his face.
“Tell them, Cordelia,” he whispered. “What kind of compensation would you like?”
