Joe was caught in the middle right now.
Cordelia caught a glimpse of the closet out of the corner of her eye. There was a small gap opened, and Helen was
still in there. She hid a small smile.
She had planned to let Helen out, but it did not seem that it was necessary now.
Cordelia dialed 911 and was going to press the ‘Call’ button when Joe shouted, “Wait!”
It went pin-drop silent.
Joe took two slow steps and looked at Cordelia and Zephyr while everyone else watched them.
“I think that… it’s best not to alarm the police with this. After all, it involves the Tanners and Hamertons’
reputation.”
“You’re wrong, sir!” Zephyr’s gaze was cold. “It’s exactly because it involves our reputation that we shouldn’t simply

“Yeah.” Cordelia smiled. “You were the one shouting to call the police earlier, and you are the one asking us not to
call the police now. I wonder what you’re thinking, sir.”
Joe glared at her and huffed. “It’s enough to let Elder Mr. Hamerton know! He’ll call the shots!”
“My grandfather’s aged, and he is not the police. What’s there for him to call the shots over?” Zephyr’s gaze was
stern. “Could it be that you feel guilty, thus going back and forth on your words and stopping us from calling the
police?”
“Zephyr, you—”
Joe knew that Zephyr was willful, but he did not expect him to be so rampant before him as well!
Nelly thought quickly and immediately cried hard. As tears fell on her cheeks, she swiped them here and there. This
way, the fingerprints would not be seen so easily…
“Dad, mom, forget it!” Nelly sobbed. “I wanted to celebrate Mrs. Hamerton’s birthday, but I didn’t expect to be
tricked here!
“Dad, mom! The Tanners can’t take this sort of embarrassment. I can’t either. Let’s go back!
“Ms. Cordelia…” She acted weak and soft. “I’m sorry that I angered you! I’ll try not to appear before you next time,
okay? But if we do meet again, can you please not hit me… It really hurts…”
“Oh dear goodness, I can’t watch this any longer!”
A voice suddenly came from the closet.
Everyone looked over in surprise to see Helen getting out of there.
Cordelia hurried over to help her while Helen held her hand with a smile. She then approached Nelly and scrutinized
her.
“Ms. Tanner, right?” Helen squinted thoughtfully. “Hmm… You don’t have a good face. High cheekbones, not good

“Where’s this lunatic from!?” Nelly changed swiftly and got the Tanners’ bodyguards to drag Helen out.
Zephyr stepped forward and scanned them with an icy gaze. His powerful presence intimidated everyone.
“Is someone from the Hamertons yours to lay a finger on too?”
The bodyguards dared not do anything and stepped back.
Helen smiled and passed her phone to Zephyr.
“Mr. Zephyr bought me this phone. read full only on ninja.com The latest model with plenty of
functions!” Helen said with a smile, “The resolution especially is superb for taking photos and recording videos!
“Mr. Zephyr, Ms. Cordelia. Take a look. What I recorded earlier is interesting. Dramas wouldn’t dare script it like
that!”
Zephyr and Cordelia exchanged a look and were going to check the video, but Helen stopped them.
“Hold on!” Helen smiled slyly and looked at Joe. “We can watch the video, but we must make it clear first. If our Ms.
Cordelia didn’t hit Ms. Tanner, what’s your compensation?”
