Trinity walked in while giggling.She was still the same—dressed in black with leather boots. She was majestic with her clean and charming face.Cordelia thought she looked much better now.Could it really be the magic of love?Trinity placed a document on the table and made a cheeky “please” gesture.“This is the movie’s final investment budget… No matter what, it’s all numbers that I don’t understand. Can the wise Mrs. Hamerton look it through for me?”Cordelia put down the half a glass of hot water that she had just drunk helplessly. She stretched and returned to her desk to work.Soon, she looked through the budget and circled some stuff in red before passing it back to Trinity.“So fast?”“It’s fast because I did my homework beforehand.” Cordelia was concise. “You can save on the circled parts. I’ve crossed off the few unnecessary costs. Your next step is to look for the finance department and get them to do the specific accounting for you.”“You’re amazing!” Trinity cou
Fredric was outstanding, and so was Neil. He was Cordelia’s cousin, so she really wanted to root for him.However, to Trinity, the status Fredric held in her heart could not be moved.Women would always remember their first love.Just like her with Zephyr… Since having him, she thought no man in the entire world could compare with her husband.Cordelia’s cheeks blushed, so she immediately stopped the thoughts flying in her head.As Cordelia was going to dive back into work, she suddenly saw Zennie’s hands shaking as she held her phone. She had lost the sweet look she had on her pretty face before. She was terrified.“Zennie?” She went over. “What’s wrong?”When she put her hand on her shoulder, the latter buried her body as if she was shocked. She even screamed.Cordelia frowned.Zennie’s face turned pale. She held her phone tightly, hesitating to show it to her.“Did someone send you a message?” Cordelia tried talking to her. “Can you show me?”“I…”Cordelia grabbed her ph
Zephyr fell into deep thought, connecting the dots. There were many suspicious clues to follow.When they were in Jangasas, Marcus attempted to hurt Cordelia. However, before he got to do that, Zephyr arrived in time.Marcus had escaped, and the person who had helped him was Phil…Zephyr clenched his fists so hard that his joints paled.Marcus, Phil, and Yale were colluding together!“I’m thinking about that too.” He looked at Cordelia. “If this isn’t a hint, it’s too strange for him to keep sending the message.”“Zennie is scared, and she begged that I don’t tell you.”“But you told me anyway.” He chuckled.Cordelia pursed her lips and said, “Didn’t we promise that we can’t have secrets?”“Hmm…” Zephyr pinched her nose. “But you told me a little too late!”“Sorry.” Cordelia felt a little guilty. “I thought it was a mistake that I got the message the first time, so I didn’t care. The second time… I happened to be busy and forgot about it.“I should have told you this earlier
Zephyr grabbed Cordelia’s waist suddenly. They were close to each other.He did not want to care about anything in the world right now. All he wanted was to go all out with her…Sensing his warm body and racing heartbeat, she pushed him away.“Stop it!”“Wifey…”“Stop thinking about that stuff before we’re done with the serious matter!”That… stuff?Zephyr was stunned. He could only gulp when he saw his woman’s serious face.“Okay, go on.”“It’s clear that the person who was at the Night Palace that Uncle Clark talked about must be Marcus!”“Mm-hmm.” Zephyr nodded. “So he must’ve arrived in Centrolis for some time now. He must be here for Yale.”Cordelia held her chin while frowning. “I have the feeling that Phil is involved, but I just can’t put my finger on it.”Zephyr grabbed her shoulders and chuckled.No matter whether it was Phil or Marcus, he would never let anyone have the chance to hurt her again.Cordelia lifted her eyes to look at him. “Hubby, what do you think
“Zephyr…” Cordelia said softly. She looked at him while blinking her big eyes.At the moment, she was like a cute little bunny pouting while leaning on his chest as she enunciated. “I was unprepared last time. It’s different this time.“We have a plan and strategies. Also, you can send people to protect me secretly!”Zephyr fell silent. He did not speak.“Hubby, we must catch Marcus and send him to the place that he deserves. In that case, he’ll never have the chance to hurt people!”Cordelia’s eyes were unusually determined, which made his heart squeeze.He knew that she had been a woman who looked weak outside but strong inside.“Perhaps… Through Marcus, we can find Phil. It might even include Yale. We could capture all of them!“So, disappear when you should. Just go with Yale’s plot and let him think that we fell into his trap! After that… we’ll be in control!”That was right. Zephyr smiled. A skilled hunter would appear as prey.He caressed her head and said to her in a
Marcus did not have the guts to repeat himself.He stood there, angry, but he did not dare to say anything. He lowered his head and clenched his fists next to his body.Yale cursed, “You useless thing! Don’t stir up trouble for me at this time. Do as I say, you hear me!?”“But…” Marcus could not take it anymore, “I don’t want to die!”“Say it again?” Yale raised his voice and inched closer to his face. His sunken eyes were scary.“Hah, do you think I’ll let you live if you don’t pretend to be Zephyr?”“You…”Marcus was stunned and stared madly at him. The veins on his forehead were bulging.Yale patted his face and reasoned with him. “Ha! I’m his cousin, but I don’t look as much like him like you, a stranger does! Marcus, your face is valuable. Don’t waste it!”Marcus took a deep breath and let it out.He tried to communicate calmly with Yale again. “Sir, I’m a thug. I always fight and bully people. I’ve been frequenting prison… But I’ve never thought about dying! I haven’t e
A leopard could not change its spots. Marcus was a thug, after all. Although he was afraid of death, he was greedy for money and sex.It seemed like Michelle was great bait.Yale puffed slowly and lit the cigarette again. He walked to Marcus while smiling and patted him hard. “Z!”The latter did not react. His eyes were almost stuck on Michelle.“Z!” Yale faked a cough and raised his voice. “Zen!”Only then did Marcus react. He looked panicky, but after the former signaled him, he straightened his body instantly and quickly went into character.“Ha, Z, I’m sure you’ve met Ms. Carmichael before?”“No… Oh, I mean, yes, I have!”“Was the meeting rather rushed?” He waved at her. “Let me introduce the two of you officially!“Michelle Carmichael, the musical talent who came back from overseas!“Ha, Z, don’t just stay home with your wife when you have the time. Take Ms. Carmichael out for a stroll!”Marcus secretly felt troubled. Sweat was dripping on the tip of his nose.Meanwhil
More and more comments poured in.Within two minutes of Michelle’s post, the post was trending. Within five minutes, the topic “Mr. Z is suspected to be having an affair with a celebrity” was trending.Michelle felt the fame again.From an unknown celebrity who was going to be kicked out of the industry to a trending artist with a leap, she was now the person who was discussed by the netizens.Naturally, it was the man next to her who deserved the credit.Michelle lay next to Marcus and watched him quietly. She was filled with burning desire. She inched closer, pecked his forehead, and secretly took over his phone, attempting to send those photos to Cordelia.However, she was shocked to find that Cordelia’s number was not on his contact list!She felt a squeeze in her heart. There was doubt on her face.‘What…‘Zephyr did not even save his wife’s number?’Meanwhile, at Hamerton Manor…Cordelia was checking the family’s expenditures over the past few months. Robert knocked on
