Cordelia was right. To the outside world, Kelly barely existed. Why would someone specifically abduct her?
Cordelia pressed her lips together and said softly, “Zephyr, it’s strange. I think Nelly definitely has something to do
with it.
“It’s not that I have prejudice toward her or I’m picking on her. But think about it, a kidnapper didn’t want a known
Tanner heiress but went through all that trouble for a Tanner heiress no one even knows about. Is it really about the
money?”
Cordelia paused and added, “If it’s for money, it’s not Kelly that should be abducted. If it’s not for money, then…
then what is it for?”
“To get rid of her!” Zephyr said abruptly.
Cordelia felt chills creep up.
“Maybe my guess is wrong…”

face.
He smiled and felt proud looking at the girl who looked soft but was tough and smart.
He took her back to the room hand in hand and called Robert before the floor-to-ceiling window after she slept.
Robert said honestly, “Mr. Z, our men have been following Nelly recently. She’s been behaving. Doesn’t look like
she’s up to anything.”
Zephyr’s expression was dark as he ordered in a low voice, “Keep watching her. There will definitely be something
new!”
Robert agreed and said, “One more thing…”
“What is it?”
“Ms. Kelly is awake.”
Zephyr furrowed his brows.
“But she doesn’t remember anything,”
…
When Cordelia and Zephyr rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night, they saw Josiah sitting before Kelly’s
bed.
There was a thick bandage around Kelly’s head, and the hospital gown looked big on her petite body.
She rested by the bed and looked at Josiah with a foreign gaze as she struggled to shrink back.
“The kid’s been like this since she woke up…” Mandy was barely above her sadness outside the door. “She can’t
recognize me or anyone else and doesn’t say a word!”
Josiah left the hospital ward a while later and leaned against the wall miserably.
Zephyr went over and patted his shoulder. He wanted to say something but was not good at comforting others, so
he could only be in his silent company.
“Don’t worry,” Cordelia said softly. “Modern medicine’s so advanced now. Ms. Kelly will be healed.”

Cordelia had never seen him so sad. After all, he was usually carefree and cheerful.
“It’s Nelly! It must be her!” Mandy was suddenly agitated. “She did this to Kelly!”
“What are you saying!?” Joe gave her a look. “Stop making things up in front of so many people!”
It was already embarrassing that they had a hidden daughter. If more rumors went around, the Tanners would be
at the cusp of the talk.
The fund merging would be postponed, and they could forget about the joint hospital project.
Joe scowled and coughed as he looked at Mandy.
“Nelly’s our daughter too. How could she harm her little sister!?”
“She’s not! No!” Mandy raised her voice. “She’s—”
“Enough!” Joe did not want his family’s dirty laundry to be aired and glared at his wife. “What do you want? Kelly’s
hurt, and you lost your mind?”
Mandy bit her lips and shook.
She did say what she said out of anger, but those who heard it thought otherwise.
