Rowan was taken aback. ‘Did Zephyr lose his memory? He does not look like it, judging by how he was all over Cordelia earlier.’
He smiled at Cordelia. “Who has amnesia?”
“It’s my friend…” Cordelia contemplated and said, “To be precise, it’s not exactly a friend. It’s someone my friend likes.
“She’s the Tanners’ other heiress, Kelly Tanner.”
“Oh?” Rowan creased his brows.
This was heated news previously, and he had heard about it but just did not care enough. He did not care about anything that had nothing to do with Cordelia—what was more, this was the Tanners. Nelly Tanner already repulsed him!
He advised, “Cordelia, why are you close to the Tanners? It’s their business whether they have another daughter. Why would you be concerned?”
“I’m not close to them. It’s that… this Ms. Kelly is really someone my friend likes. I want to help them!”
Cordelia’s voice was sweet. “Uncle Irwin, the Tanners aren’t that bad. Mrs. Tanner is reasonable and clear with what and who she likes and hates. As for Nelly, I’ll just ignore her. She won’t be able to pick on me!”
Rowan scowled. He was still worried about his daughter.
He was reluctant to miss this chance to get closer to her since she had made the request to him.
Cordelia blinked her big eyes at him. “Uncle Irwin, can you help?”
Charlie gave Rowan a look. The latter coughed and could only nod.
“I’ll make it clear first. I’m only treating this Ms. Kelly.” Rowan put on a straight face. “I don’t care about anything else regarding the Tanners.”
“Petty money?” Mona was already disgruntled, so she grew angrier listening to Nelly.
“Nelly, send me the money right now if you think it’s just petty money! Hah, I care a lot about it! I need these 30,000 dollars!
“Don’t forget. If I didn’t buy the driver out, he would have exposed you long ago! You’d be in jail instead of drinking and dancing here!”
Nelly scowled. She did not have much money now. Mandy already had her guard against her and did not allow her to manage anything involved with the company's finances. Her allowance each month was not much either.
What she had was only the title of being a Tanner heiress.
With how Mona raised her voice, curious glances were thrown at them.
Nelly could not bear that and pulled her over to say nicely, “Hey, what are you shouting about? I’m just joking with you!”
