“I just suddenly thought of it.” Cordelia smiled at her. “You’re Zennie Hamerton, and he’s Yale Hamerton, and you’re both from Centrolis. I guess that you could be related.”“And you guess it right,” Zennie said softly. “Yale’s my big cousin.“He’s my second uncle’s son and the eldest grandson in the family.“Cordelia, he’s a horrible man. Don’t get acquainted with him!”Cordelia was startled but chortled right after. There was no way she would care about men other than her husband!“Cordelia.” Zennie looked at her. “Actually… I have an older brother too.”“Oh.” Cordelia did not have much of a reaction.“He’s my brother by blood!” Zennie licked her lips and said with a smile, “His name is Zephyr Hamerton. Do you think it’s a nice name?”“Zephyr Hamerton?” Cordelia pacified Zennie. “It’s a nice name, much nicer than Yale Hamerton!”“Really?”“Mm, really.”Zennie secretly pulled out her phone and accessed the voice recorder.“Cordelia, say it again!”“Say what?”“Say that Z
“Sir…” Robert was hesitating.Zephyr looked at him and said, “Just spill it.”Robert smacked his lips. “I know you’re doing everything for Ms. Jenner’s good, but by law, as of now… She's Marcus’ wife.“If you give so many of your assets, including your company to her, doesn’t it mean that you’re giving half of everything to Marcus too?”Zephyr smiled, looking confident.He had thought about that issue before. He had also checked with Fredric regarding the legal matter.Although they were married, their finances were independent. To him, the best solution was to write a declaration emphasizing that the assets would belong to Cordelia only—it would have no business with anyone else. “Don’t worry.” he looked at Robert. “It’s impossible that Marcus will get even a cent from me!“Also, I’ll tell Cordelia everything when I return to Jangasas. She is smart and will know what to do. I also believe she’ll face everything with me, no matter what happens!”Robert nodded. He had a faint
Liam looked at him and quietly played with the tea set in his hands. He made Earl Gray tea and poured it into a cup.Zephyr got up and walked to the window. With his back facing his grandfather, he said calmly. “Why are you calling, cousin?”“Nothing much, I…”Yale intentionally paused as he was speaking.He scoffed and said nothing else.“If there’s nothing important, we’ll chat some other day.” Zephyr mocked. “After all, I can’t be chatting with you and ignore grandpa when I’m with him!”“Sure, go on and kiss his *ss!“Hey, speaking of *ss-kissing… Z, your woman isn’t bad indeed! Hahaha…”“What are you talking about?” Zephyr felt a tight squeeze in his heart. A chill was sent down his spine.Yale laughed hysterically and enunciated. “I said your woman is so hot. She’s not bad at all!”“Yale!”“Z, why didn’t you bring the amazing Ms. Jenner home? Hahaha…”Yale hung up the phone. Soon, his phone vibrated. A picture was sent.It was dark, and the resolution was low. However
Both of them were his grandchildren, and they should be valued equally. Although he sided more with Zephyr, he did not want anything to happen to Yale.Liam hit the ground hard with his cane.“Yale can’t do anything, yet he wants to ruin everything! I need to teach him a lesson!” He said angrily, “Get my second son to see me! I’ll get him to lecture his failure of a son!“Was it really Cordelia that Yale captured?”“Sir…” Uncle Clark hesitated. “I think it’s indeed Ms. Jenner from Jangasas that he captured, but I heard there are two daughters in the Jenners. I’m not sure if it’s Cordelia…”Liam squinted, and a sly gleam flashed through his eyes.It would be best if it was Cordelia. He could seize the opportunity to get Zephyr to cut ties with her.He knew his grandson very well. He had a strong desire to possess something. Perhaps he was pissed that his woman was sexually assaulted now, but after he calmed down, he would stay away from her.Liam took a deep breath. He was breat
“Zephyr!”Yale widened his eyes as he watched Zephyr leave just like that. He did not want to yield.“Cousin…” Zephyr stopped and tilted his head slightly, not sure if he was smiling. “Grandpa told me to have priorities, that I shouldn’t fight you for a woman.“I thought he was right, so…” He turned his head to look at Yale, his eyes cold. “Have fun!”Yale was stunned.Wait, was he not ready to fight until death just now? He almost strangled him to death, and now he left just like that!?He grabbed the shotgun quickly!Just when he was going to cock the gun, Zephyr beat him to it. He turned around and pointed his pistol to his head.He smirked. “Cousin, I’ve already told you and your father to never pull tricks behind my back, or I won’t show mercy! Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about it?”Yale’s face turned pale. He dropped the shotgun and looked at him blankly.Zephyr glared at him with mockery. A scream came from behind just when he was stepping out of the door.“Marcus!
Robert was stunned. He had to discuss the group’s reform plan with the board of directors. How could he return to Jangasas at this critical time!?“Sir, are you worried about Ms. Jenner?” Robert asked softly. “Don’t worry, my men have been watching. She’s safe.”Zephyr could not help but growl, “Then why isn’t she picking up!?” He was anxious.Robert did not know what to say to that.In reality, there were many reasons why someone would not pick up their phone–her phone might be out of battery, she did not hear it, or there was no signal…Furthermore, he was calling in the middle of the night and insisted that she would pick him up immediately. Did Ms. Jenner not need sleep? That was just…Zephyr was unconvinced. He grabbed his car key and ran out.Suddenly, his phone rang. He was stunned when he saw the screen, and his hand was shaking when he picked it up.“Wifey…”“I’m sorry, hubby!” Cordelia, who was on the other side of the phone, sounded like she had just woken up. “I ha
Zennie got up from the bed with a stretch and leaned against the doorframe groggily. Once she smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen, she perked up and ran out with her bare feet.As expected, the dining table that greeted her did not disappoint!“Whoa, Cordelia, do you have magic?” She gasped. “You made so many things this early in the morning!”Cordelia chuckled and considered it done as she placed the pot of chicken soup on the table.“Dig in!” She passed the cutlery to Zennie.“I don’t know what you like, so I made a bit of both sweet and savory. I hope you’re fine with the food!”“How could I not be!?” Zennie was like a greedy little kitten as she munched on a pancake and held a bun in her hand, eating happily.Breakfast like this was comforting, and it was as if Cordelia had magic. She made all these ordinary dishes taste so amazing that the chefs Zennie had at home could not compare to her.It was no wonder that her brother wanted to stay with her. It seemed that a m
Liam was ultimately out of the critical state, but he could not tire himself out or receive any shock.Zephyr could only run the Hamerton Group on his behalf for the time being.As a result, his return to Jangasas kept being delayed.Cordelia did not complain about it. She only asked him to do whatever he had to without worry. It was just that Zephyr could hardly not be worried. He would not have peace as long as he did not see her.“Can grandpa meet anyone now?”“Uncle Clark says that Mr. Matthew’s taking care of him.”Zephyr paused and scoffed. He recalled Kate arguing with Henry on the phone two days ago. The cause of it seemed to be Kate asking Henry to take care of Liam since the latter was ill, but Henry, who was slow, remained silent.Kate had scolded him, “Are you going to let your younger brother outshine you again when you refuse to do anything now? Henry Hamerton, why are you so pathetic!? You won’t even get any leftovers if you fight for it with Matthew!”Well, gues
