“Ms. Lulham, the recording is starting soon.” Zephyr smiled lightly. “Don’t be late.”Trinity knew that she was unwelcome. He was indirectly telling her not to be a third wheel.Therefore, she left instantly.Zephyr smiled and held Cordelia’s hand as they walked out of the corridor. The bodyguards were walking slowly as they were dragging Chad. Chad tried his best to open his swollen eyes when they passed by him. He saw with his very own eyes that Cordelia and Zephyr were happily locking their fingers.He felt a chill in him.She was not kidding that he would die a devastating death…With Zephyr’s temper, he would slice him into a million pieces!…Everything was ready in the recording hall. However, Zephyr did not sit in the middle.“Mr. Hamerton, please come here…” The host wanted to take him to the middle.“No need,” he said calmly. “I saw the script of your show. The male and female leads will be chosen in this episode.“The main characters are important, but the directo
The hosts on the stage were experienced.Although what happened surprised them, they calmed down immediately and got the letter from Zephyr.It was a report. The people who reported were the few young directors from the video clips.The male host remained calm and read the letter at normal speed. The entire recording site became dead silent instantly.Chad fell onto the ground from the shock, and his swollen face twitched.A heated discussion exploded after over ten seconds of dead silence.“So, that was how Mr. Green got his award!?”“The saying a leopard can't change its spots is right! He directed porn before, so how could he direct anything classy at all?”“That’s right. I was annoyed that he got an international award. So, he plagiarized!”“It’s humiliating the directors that he’s still around!”“Boycott him! Cancel him!”The people were yelling, getting more and more intense.Chad felt as if there were thousands of bees buzzing in his head. He looked around in a panic
Frederic smiled. “Z, you’re really being more considerate to your father-in-law now!”Zephyr glared at him.Frederic only shrugged. Some people were just stubborn, but their heart was honest.It seemed that Zephyr and Rowan were quite similar in this case. Guess they were just destined to be a family!“Oh, yeah, don’t get too caught up with this father-in-law, Z. Friendly reminder, but your ex-father-in-law’s company is going down! You’ve got to watch out for him.”Zephyr frowned. What the heck?Frederic grinned. “Your ex-father-in-law, William Jenner?”When he looked up, Zephyr’s glower grew darker.“Cough!” Frederic quickly explained, “William Jenner’s company isn’t going that well. It seems like it’ll be going bankrupt soon.”“Really?” Zephyr sneered.He remembered that the company had been doing alright when they had still been in Jangasas. He’d even wanted to give Cordelia some shares back then. How had he managed to go bankrupt in just two years?“There must be a reaso
However, he was in urgent need of the money right now. He could only get money from the Southeast Aciatic account in Xyla’s name.William bit his lip. It was a risky move. Who were the Irwins in Southeast Aciatic? They were tough and aggressive. They would not care about the money but they hated being deceived.If they found out that William had lied to them, for over 20 years no less, he could imagine the consequences.William paced back and forth in the room with a frown. He recalled what Chad had looked like when he had visited him in jail.Chad had been wrapped in gauze like a mummy and had actually been helped out by the jail warden while walking. His mental state had not been stable either. He had been a little crazy and he had not been speaking clearly because he had two teeth missing in the front.William despised him and had been about to turn around when he’d heard Chad mumbling, “Bro… your Cordelia’s d-doing so well now…“I can’t afford to offend her, no…“She has…
“I don’t mind another person doting on you!”What Linda had said made Zephyr feel an impending sense of crisis.He stood outside the door, jealousy bubbling in him predictably.He knew that Cordelia shone like a diamond and he would not be able to just keep her away at home even if he wanted to. However, he had never expected his love rival to end up being a woman!With a scowl, Zephyr went downstairs and pulled out his phone on the balcony.He did not believe the speculations regarding Trinity’s sexual orientation either, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Having a solution was always better than not having one when it was needed.Robert’s phone rang for a long time.He was currently playing cards with Josiah. Remembering the few lessons he had been taught previously, he was determined not to show himself in front of Zephyr, so the farther away he was, the better. He had come to look for Josiah.Unfortunately, he received Zephyr’s call not too long into the game. The sou
School had been a lot of work back then, and anyone who could study there had been an outstanding talent. All of them had worked hard to come out on top. During those insufferable days, something big had happened that the students had talked about whenever they’d had free time.An anonymous love letter had been found in Frederic’s locker in the boy’s changing room. The sender had remained a mystery until their graduation.Zephyr frowned. He did not know why Josiah was bringing this up.“Anyway, Trinity went on to make films after graduating.” Josiah had a deep smile on his face. “But she’s kept in touch with Frederic all this while!”Realization struck Zephyr instantly.This meant that Trinity was the one who had sent the love letter back then!He breathed out in relief. If it had really been Trinity, this meant that she was straight. However…Zephyr paused and said with a deadpan expression, “But I remember Frederic having a crush back in school.”Josiah chuckled.Frederic’
Cordelia chuckled dryly and punched him.“I was on the phone with Josiah.” Zephyr began to lie in all seriousness. “He’s been doing great with Kelly recently, and the two of them have been looking for social-media-famous shops online every day. They found one again… and asked us to try it with them!”Cordelia blinked. “Is he serious about Kelly? He better not be interested at the moment and not care about her once the novelty wears off!”Zephyr smiled softly. “Josiah has a wealthy background and is carefree usually. He could sometimes be flippant too… but I can guarantee that he’s one of the rare good men left in this world.”“Oh, didn’t expect you to think of him so highly!” Cordelia’s eyes were shining playfully. “Then are you going to tell me that you’re even more of a good man since your friend’s a good man too?”“Birds of a feather flock together,” Zephyr replied seriously. “I wouldn’t be humble for the sake of it, and anyone who’s my close friend is naturally decent too!”“
Marcus tossed his cigarette butt on the floor with a vicious smirk, burning a small black hole in the cashmere carpet.Joanne screamed. The carpet was expensive and was one of the rare valuable items in the currently deteriorating Jenner residence.“Marcus Grist, you b*stard!”Joanne was ready to fight him with balled-up fists, but William held her back.“Why are you stopping me?!”“Get back!” William glared at her.Joanne had been overpowered by William all these years. Once the man blew his top, she dared not say a second word and stepped back quietly.William struggled up from the floor, his back and waist hurting.“Marcus.” He took a deep breath and looked at the younger man with a complex gaze. “You’re right. Our families have been long-time friends. I should take care of you.”Marcus glanced at him and smirked victoriously.“You can freeload here.” William lowered his voice. “But you have to listen to me. You have to do whatever I say from now on!”“Hah!” Marcus’ gaze
