Cordelia felt a warmth spread through her as she leaned into his touch, comforted by his presence. At that moment she felt like a queen.

Benjamin then spoke up, his voice carrying a hint of authority as he addressed the crowd. "As it's her birthday, can we all celebrate it together?" he announced, his words met with enthusiastic applause and nods of agreement from the gathered guests. Some even began snapping photos of the helicopters, capturing the extraordinary moment.

Just as the crowd was about to burst into a rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Cordelia, Hayford stepped forward, his expression a mix of anger and frustration.

"Hello," he interjected, his tone sharp and confrontational. "This arrangement was made for my club's theme party, not for your girlfriend's birthday. If you want to celebrate a birthday, go look for somewhere else.”

Undeterred, Benjamin simply smiled and turned to face Hayford, his demeanor calm and unruffled. "Relax," he replied, his voice laced with amusem

  • Chapter 492: Fibroid

    Benjamin lifted a spoonful of food and blew gently before turning to Cordelia with a small, soft smile. “Here,” he said. Cordelia blinked, surprised—but leaned slightly forward, letting him feed her. Her cheeks warmed as she chewed shyly and smiled back at him. She then scooped a bit of her own dish and nudged it toward Benjamin’s lips. “Your turn,” she whispered. Benjamin leaned in and took the bite without breaking eye contact, like she was the only person in the room who mattered. The driver watched quietly, amused by their sweetness, as he ate his meal calmly. They were about to finish eating when the driver’s phone rang again—loud enough to draw glances from nearby tables. The driver stiffened, quickly trying to silence it, but Benjamin’s eyes narrowed this time. “Give me the phone,” he said calmly. The driver froze. “S-sir, it’s nothing. I—” “Phone.” Benjamin’s tone left no room for refusal. Reluctantly, the driver handed it over. Benjamin answered, “Hello?” A woman’

  • Chapter 490: The Shopping

    Cordelia blinked, her fingers pausing on the silver crest.Eight in the world?She quickly tried to put it back, her heart racing a little.“It’s too much,” she murmured.Benjamin chuckled — the kind of chuckle that said you’re adorable for thinking that matters.“Cordelia,” he said, rising and stepping toward her, “if you like something, that’s enough reason.”He took the bag from her gently, holding it up near her shoulder.“And it suits you perfectly.”Her cheeks warmed — a soft blush blooming.“But—” she tried again.“No buts,” Benjamin said calmly. “You’re my wife. And my wife doesn’t second-guess what she deserves.”Cordelia’s lips parted slightly — no argument left in her.Cordelia, still shyly admiring the bag, suddenly snapped back into reality. She bit her lip lightly and looked at the attendant.“How much… is this?” she asked quietly.The attendant smiled politely, hands folded.“This piece goes for ₣129,800,” she said — the number flowing out casually.Cordelia nearly chok

    At the same time…Inside the car, Cordelia rested her right hand gently atop Benjamin’s, the other hand scrolling through something on her phone. Benjamin glanced at her briefly with a soft smile, then took his own phone from his pocket and tapped a number.It rang once… then connected.Benjamin sat up slightly, his voice warmening.“Mom.”The moment Cordelia heard that single word, she froze. Her heart skipped — she quickly turned off her phone’s screen and placed it carefully beside her, now fully attentive.Evelyn’s delighted voice poured through the speakers.“My son, how are you?”Benjamin relaxed back into his seat.“I’m fine, Mom. How are you?”They exchanged a few gentle greetings — then Benjamin paused… cleared his throat subtly.His fingers tightened around Cordelia’s.“Mom… Cordelia is here with me.”Cordelia’s breath hitched.Her cheeks warmed as though she had been caught doing something bold.There was a surprised silence on Evelyn’s end — only for a second — before her

Her voice carried a sharp edge of panic masked as anger.“How do you even plan on finding that useless butler? You talk and talk but do nothing!” she snapped.Meanwhile inside the mansion…Rhoda sat forward on the couch, arms folded tightly as her eyes drilled into Marshall. Her voice carried a sharp edge of panic masked as anger.“How do you even plan on finding that useless butler? You talk and talk but do nothing!” she snapped.Marshall exhaled slowly, frustration already creasing his forehead. “I’ve made a few calls already. I’m waiting for feedback. The moment I hear anything, I’ll act.”Rhoda laughed bitterly. “And what if we’re kicked out before your big ‘feedback’ comes? What happens then, Marshall?” She leaned closer, voice rising, “Where will we go? What will we eat? Or do you expect us to beg Cordelia?”Marshall clenched his jaw, but he didn’t lash out. He st
