Chapter 161

Zephyr wanted to pat his shoulder, but his hand froze in the air. He only put it down after a while.…Cordelia lay in his embrace when he went home that night as they slacked off on the bed.It was late, but she could not sleep. The dazzling stars shone through the photo frame in the dark room. She looked into the night sky. It felt like it had been forever since she could admire the night so peacefully.Knowing that she was warm, Zephyr fanned her while staring at her beautiful side profile with his head low. His heart jolted.He gulped, and a subtle surge of warmth rose.Cordelia looked at the sweat on the tip of his nose. She felt embarrassed that he would keep the air conditioning off to save money. “Hubby, turn on the air conditioner if you’re warm. It doesn’t cost much.”“Hmm… No need.” He licked his lips.The warmth they meant was completely different.Zephyr took a deep breath. He had his eyes on her fair neck and slightly opened small lips. He smiled, and his hand na

Zephyr’s expression changed. He said softly, “It’s all in the past… What else do criminals do when they’re together if not fight?”“Did you hit him?”“Hmm, you can say so.”Cordelia nodded.Everyone who was in prison before was abusive. It made sense that they were troubled mentally. Just like Nicholas, who always wanted to be on the top, would naturally be upset that Marcus hit him.However, Zephyr was different. Apart from his serious face and the fact that he hardly talked, to her, there was nothing wrong with him.Cordelia’s big, beautiful eyes were bright. She looked at her husband in silence. The more she looked, the more she thought she got herself a treasure.Her tiny hand caressed his chiseled face. He did not have the time to shave, so his stubs made her itchy.“Why are you staring at me?” Zephyr had an alluring voice as he patted her head.“Nothing,” said Cordelia softly. “I just realized not only is my husband fair, but he’s forgiving too!“Nicholas did that to yo

Josiah nodded firmly.“I was fishing at a creek last week. I happened to see him. I was shocked! Z, Marcus really looks like you…”Zephyr’s expression was turning grimmer.“But apart from your looks, there’s nothing else that’s similar between the two of you.” Josiah continued. “I was suspicious, so I got someone to investigate. I can’t believe we found out that Marcus didn’t die at all.“He offended a few gangs in Jangasas after getting out of prison. He even had a finger chopped off for not paying his debt. He was chased out of Jangasas.”Zephyr said nothing while Fredric widened his eyes in shock.“So…” Fredric snapped back to his senses. “Does that have something to do with Nicholas?”“Z! Perhaps he found out from the beginning that you’re not Marcus!”A fierce gleam flashed through Zephyr’s eyes.That was what he was worried about. He noticed that Nicholas was weird from the few encounters before, so perhaps he knew something.Josiah licked his lips and stuttered, “C-Can

The person in the photos shocked him!‘Marcus?’Nicholas snapped his head up to look at Yale. His eyes filled with disbelief.“What, you’ve met this person before?” Yale sneered.Nicholas put down the photos. His facial expression remained the same.“This is the man I want you to kill.” Yale stared into his eyes. “Memorize his face, N. Don’t kill the wrong man!”“What do you mean?” Yale’s laughter was strange. He laughed for a long time, so long that Nicholas almost lost his patience.“Okay, I’ll stop beating around the bush,” Yale said coldly. “This man is Zephyr Hamerton, the third son of the Hamertons! My grandfather had just flown to North Armania to meet a few dignitaries. He doesn’t have time for his family… This is the best time to do it!”Nicholas frowned.Never had he thought Cordelia’s husband was Zephyr!From the few encounters lately, she did not seem to know his real identity, yet she protected him. If he had really hurt Zephyr, perhaps that woman would have ma

Nicholas stared straight at Yale. He said nothing for a while.“I’ll handle grandpa’s suspicion,” said Yale while looking at him. “Nicholas, all you need to do is to kill the people for me. Let me handle the rest!”Nicholas was sure that he also wanted him to kill the old man, judging by his sneering tone.Yale got Marcus to leave. Subsequently, he took out a land plan and circled the best location in the center of Centrolis.“This place is crowded. It’s considered the golden area.” He chuckled. “After the deal is completed, I’ll talk to the relevant departments, and this piece of land will be yours! What do you think?”Nicholas pursed his lips but said nothing.Yale patted his shoulder. “Nicholas, you’re ambitious, brutal, and merciless. I like that about you!“This is beneficial to you and me, so please think about it carefully!”Nicholas looked at the land plan Yale’s finger pointed. The surface was huge, and the appreciation potential was great. It was too humble to be call

Chapter 166

Nicholas had never thought that a man with such high social status like Zephyr would have such an ordinary side to him.One of the account entries was probably wrong, as Cordelia talked to Zephyr with a stern expression. The latter, more than six feet in height, hung his head like an elementary school kid who had done something wrong.The scene astonished Nicholas.Zephyr was just a homey husband when he was with Cordelia. He was scared of his wife, would get nagged by his wife, and had to give her the money he earned—like millions of men in the world, he did not have much say in the household.He did not long for the spot which tens of thousands looked up upon him in the past, but he was happy with days that he had to bow down to his wife.Shocked, Nicholas tightened his fists. He went closer. The cafe’s door was opened, and the husband and wife’s conversation could be heard clearly.“Darling, just listen to me. The price should be adjusted lower!”“But we’re selling good stuff

Nicholas chuckled and wore a look of innocence.“Isn’t this a cafe? What else could I do here?”Zephyr watched him carefully, not missing even a subtle expression. The man was not as aggressive as he was the last time, but a conclusion could not be easily made if he was here with a kind or malicious intention.Zephyr went back to sling an arm around Cordelia’s shoulder, softly asking her to go home first and telling her he would take care of this.Cordelia was quite worried but could only walk out slowly upon his insistence. After Cordelia left, Zephyr looked at Nicholas with a ghost of a smirk.“Afternoon tea set, right? I’ll prepare it for you!”“Can you do it?”“Why not? I’m the boss here.”Zephyr returned to the back of the counter. His movements were practiced, but the pots and pans made a lot of noise. It made Nicholas wonder whether he really did need to make so much ruckus or whether he was trying to drive him away with it.A while later, a rather exquisitely plated

What was strange was that Marcus seemed to have vanished into thin air. Robert came to Jangasas to secretly deliver the news to him. “Sir, our people have basically flipped Centrolis over, but Marcus can’t be found anywhere.”Zephyr’s expression was icy cold. How could a living person be gone out of the blue!? Now that he was nowhere to be found, Zephyr had already thought of the worst.“Continue searching in Centrolis!” He gnashed his teeth. “I suspect that Uncle Matthew’s already found him first. They’ll definitely find someone to ambush me if they want to do something!”“Sir…” Robert widened his eyes, looking nervous.“Don’t worry about me,” Zephyr instructed, “Cordelia, though… Get a few reliable men to watch her going to and leaving work. Her safety is your top priority!”“Got it!”Zephyr felt chills down his spine all of a sudden after saying that.Whether it was Matthew, Yale, or other Hamertons considering conspiring, he had never been scared, even if there was a direct

Zephyr looked at the reviews on his phone with a dark gaze.A new shop would barely attract this much attention. The only possibility was like what Cordelia had said—someone was cooking something up behind them.These reviews were obviously left intentionally by paid posters.Zephyr suspected Nicholas too, but he denied the thought as soon as it popped up. Given Nicholas’ character and status, he would not resort to such a cheap and roundabout approach.Moreover, the tactic looked like a petty fight among women. If Nicholas did want to target him, he could easily declare war.It also did not look like what a business rival would do. There were many cafes around the area, but they all had their distinct colors and niched target customers. Everyone was basically fine with each other.Therefore, the person who had hired the paid posters to target them was highly likely to be targeting Cordelia…The answer grew clearer to Zephyr, but he took all the responsibilities on himself with

Chapter 170

Cordelia was in distress, but Zephyr quite liked the situation. He did not have it in him to brew coffee and serve customers. He just wanted to stay around her every day—even better if the two of them were the only ones in the shop.In spite of it, he had still asked Fredric to look into the matter to cheer up Cordelia. The result was as he had expected. “Z, I consulted a few media companies, and they quickly got the date. Data shows that these paid posters are from the Jenner Group.”“Hah, so it’s really Yelena?”“Well, the account paying the paid posters is the finance account from the Jenner Group.”Who else from the Jenners, aside from Yelena, would do something so stupid?Zephyr pinched between his brows and ended the call.He was in too much disdain to fight the Jenners, not that the latter could overpower him. It was just that he cared about Cordelia.Fredric said with a lowered voice, “Z, it’s not hard to mess with the Jenners at all. Just do to them what they did to you
