Chapter 231

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

Chapter 232

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

His thought was precisely what Matthew had in mind.Although Marcus had been secretly trained since he was caught, he could not be compared to Zephyr. Who they were at their core were different. No matter how the man was trained, a mouse could never turn into a tiger.The plan to let Marcus pretend to be Zephyr and send him to Chaiseland to sign the loan… The one in Chaiseland was Zephyr’s mother! If something happened, Matthew would be in big trouble.“Does that Marcus really look like Zephyr?” Liam asked him calmly.Matthew sweated. “Yes… It’s said that the Jenners have a marriage agreement with him. For some reason, though, our Zephyr, who had been recuperating in that village—”Matthew clamped his mouth straight away. If he went on, the plane crash would inevitably be brought up.“Anyway… that’s basically the case!” Matthew chuckled. “Dad, it’s a misunderstanding. Maybe Zephyr hasn’t met a naive woman from a small place and is only after the novelty.“When the woman is wiped

“Hello, Zephyr!” Zephyr knew just from hearing the voice that it was the speed demon.Zephyr chuckled. “Mom, why are you calling at this hour?”When considering the time difference, it was supposed to be morning in Ricos. His mother was important in the company, so it was impossible she was free to call and chat just as she started work.“Answer mine first! Didn’t you say you have a fake son for me and ask me to capture him alive?“It’s been days. Where’s the guy?”Zephyr frowned. By right, Matthew and Yale should have already made their move.Zephyr hung up and felt a premonition.He asked seriously, “Robert, what has Uncle Matthew been doing these days?”“I think he’s been staying by Mr. Liam’s side.”“What about Yale?”Before Robert could answer, the upsetting sense in Zephyr grew stronger. He had never felt something like this. It was like his heart was sliced.He unconsciously called Cordelia, but no one answered. Zephyr’s face fell, and he decided right away. “Book me

Marcus looked alarmed and gripped the dagger he hid in his sleeve.Matthew had told him before he came that he should act fast and speak less, so others would not notice anything.This woman did not seem easy to handle. Moreover, he had to drag her to some deserted area to kill her. It would be rather dumb to kill her in the cafe.Marcus could not help looking at Cordelia again. This was her, the wife Zephyr had married in place of him!He did not expect Zephyr to have settled his marriage for him when he was roaming the streets with a finger chopped.He narrowed his eyes. Cordelia was pretty. It was a pity to kill her. At least, he should enjoy his time with her first.Marcus cracked a grin. A wash of evil gleamed in his eyes.He coughed to cover it while Cordelia quickly poured him some water and asked him to sit and wait. She put on the apron with ease and started to cook.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the man fidgeting on the chair. He looked around with a strang

“But before this…”…Zephyr called Cordelia non-stop once he got out of the plane, but no one answered. The premonition ate at him like hundreds of thousands of worms.He rushed home but saw the men Robert had sent downstairs. They were dumbstruck when they saw him.“Mr. Zephyr, a-aren’t you… in the cafe?”“What?” Zephyr’s heart lurched. “What cafe?”“Two of our guys there said that they saw you enter the cafe with your own eyes! Robert told us before not to disturb you and Ms. Jenner, so they left after seeing you go in!”“Damn it!”Zephyr understood it instantly.The one who had entered the cafe was Marcus Grist, and right now… Cordelia was facing him alone!“Drive me there right now!”The bodyguards exchanged a look and got into the car to drive to the cafe the fastest they could.…Cordelia’s face was swollen from Marcus’ numerous slaps. Her consciousness was slowly leaving her as well. She clung to the last iota of energy to struggle, but Marcus had the dagger against

Chapter 237

In Cordelia’s daze, she heard a loud noise. The sound of a bullet penetrating glass was deafening. Then, chaos ensued.Cordelia slumped on the floor, fading into black. She was hanging on to the last sliver of will as she crawled out.“Honey, save me…”In spite of it, a hand abruptly grabbed her hair!The pain, like her scalp was splitting from her skull, made her cry. Before she fell unconscious, she felt an icy blade cut into her skin, and she vaguely heard the man’s voice.“Mr. Z, hah… Let me go, and I’ll give this woman to you. What do you think?“You aren’t making any loss in this deal! As long as you let me go, I promise I won’t appear before you again…“My wife is yours from now on!”With Zephyr’s growl, his bodyguards surrounded Marcus, but they dared not move recklessly. There was a dagger against Cordelia’s neck, and blood was slowly trickling out.Marcus snickered. Just when he got to the door, he shoved Cordelia to Zephyr.The bodyguards gave chase, but Marcus hop

“I already informed Mr. Matthew when you failed to kill Cordelia.” The man turned to face Marcus. “Mr. Matthew’s the one who gave you this sum of money. He said to keep you as you’ll still be useful!”The young man suddenly extended a hand to pinch Marcus’ face. He looked as if he was just pulling a trick.“Hah, I think Mr. Matthew’s plan is great… It’d be a pity if your face were gone!”Marcus’ hair stood on end. Even when he had spent so long in prison and met gangsters like Nicholas, they were unlike this guy in front of him who sent chills down his spine.“Go.” The car was parked at the curb, and the sinister voice was heard in Marcus’ ears. “Heh… You’ll be useful in the future!”Marcus opened the car door and fled with the money.The guy in the car pressed his cap lower, his fair face wearing a smirk.…Zephyr had been waiting outside the emergency doors.The blood on his hands had dried to a dull red color. His hands were intertwined and shaking slightly, but his express

Nicholas stood rooted with his temples throbbing. After a moment, he looked at Linda with a complicated gaze and said, “Calm down, okay? Zephyr doesn’t wish for this either…”“What doesn’t he wish for?” Linda raised her voice. “Hah, he’s bored of living his rich heir life in Centrolis and came here pretending to be a former convict to get married?”“Don’t make it sound so bad. You don’t understand. He was conspired against and got seriously injured. That’s why he hid his identity in Jangasas!”Linda was quiet for a moment and scanned him judgingly before she scoffed. “You knew so much?”Nicholas was rendered speechless.“Nicholas Thompson!”Nicholas wanted nothing more than to slap himself.“Zephyr Hamerton!” Linda’s voice was shaking from how furious she was. “Recover and recuperate all you want. Why get Cordelia involved?“Do you really think you’re a prince? Hah, being a womanizer even when you’re badly injured. How much will your rich heir friends be envious of you when you

Chapter 240

It felt like there was a loud explosion in Cordelia’s heart.Zephyr’s extended hand paused in the air before he slowly pulled it back.“I’ve lied to you,” he said. “I’ve also caused you harm.”Cordelia screwed her eyes shut and cried.She finally understood why he seemed to have an extraordinary aura, why every difficulty she met would always be resolved, why he never cared about money, why he seemed fearless…He was the heir of the Hamertons. The whole world was under his feet. What was there for him to be scared of?Cordelia chuckled wryly. She had called him silly in the past, but she was actually the silly one who had been tricked!“Cordelia—”“Please leave.”Cordelia hid under the covers. Her weak voice came from the small gap.Zephyr could only see her disheveled hair and her quivering body. He wanted to pat her back and keep her in his embrace like he used to, but he could not do it now.He quietly left the ward and sat on the chair in the hallway, never once leaving.
