Michelle’s mind went blank. She stood dumbly in front of the man, not daring to breathe any louder.
She found Zephyr to be cold and emotionless back when they were in school. Now that they had graduated, he was
only more of that than warming up.
Despite that, Michelle did not want to back down. After all, the temptation of the Hamerton name was still
significant.
She took a deep breath and quickly adjusted herself, putting on a fawning but natural smile.
“Zephyr, we haven’t met for years, and this is how you’re treating your long-time schoolmate?”
Zephyr narrowed his eyes.
The woman was unreasonable. If Josiah had not reminded him, he would never have remembered her as his
schoolmate.
At the same time, it frustrated him that Cordelia had not sent him any message.

Michelle was alarmed seeing that he was leaving and quickly followed, only to see another woman coming their
way shortly.
The woman was slightly lacking in looks compared to the other female celebrities, but she exuded a sense of
elegance that the latter did not have. She must be an heiress.
Zephyr frowned. This was why he hated events like this. His chiseled face glowered harder.
Michelle went up and blocked the woman’s advance for him once more.
When she looked at Zephyr after the woman left, she thought that his gaze was not as cold as it was.
“Thank you.” Zephyr pushed through his lips.
Michelle nodded with a smile.
“I don’t like other women approaching me,” was all Zephyr said before he spread his long legs and disappeared
into the crowd.
Michelle was stunned for a moment as Zephyr’s words resonated in her ears.
He did not like other women approaching him… but she had been the only one near him and had even talked to
him since the start of the event!
Michelle was overjoyed. Did he mean to say that he did not like other women approaching him—except her?
Once she thought of this, she could not control the upward quirk of her lips.
Zephyr did treat her differently!
Michelle stepped into the crowd proudly. The female celebrities around her saw her talking to Zephyr just now and
threw her complex gazes.
“Michelle!” Nancy ran over. “Just now, you—”
“Just now, I had a drink with Zephyr and chatted!” It was as if Michelle was worried that others could not hear her.
Nancy’s eyes lit up. “Bravo!”
Michelle was triumphant as she looked around. The dolled-up female celebrities paled in that instant.

already noticed you!”
The others smiled with a hand over their mouths.
Show business was a place of name and fame. The female celebrities obviously knew how to play the game. They
wanted to get on the boat named Zephyr Hamerton too, but the man was not someone they could offend.
Moreover, only the wise and clever survived in showbiz. They all knew that the future Mrs. Hamerton was Cordelia.
Only Michelle, who had returned from abroad, was clueless and kept boasting. It was understandable that the
female celebrities disliked that, and what was said just now was to give her a bad name instead of pandering to her.
They were free in the event anyway. The few of them exchanged looks and decided to have fun with the clueless
“return from abroad talent”.
“Michelle, what did Mr. Z tell you just now? You two were chatting happily!”
“Oh, nothing special.” Michelle flicked her hair. “He was saying that he doesn’t like other women approaching him!”
The female celebrities smiled without saying anything, but Michelle grew victorious.
