Chapter 361

“She got food poisoning, but it’s very light. I’ve already treated her. She ought to have a good rest this week, and she’ll recover very soon.”Cordelia gasped. “Food poisoning?”“It’s my fault.” Zephyr looked at her. “Cordelia… I didn’t let you drink the soup in the morning because I suspected that Aunt Helen drugged it.”Cordelia sucked in a cold breath. She knew that Zephyr would not suspect someone out of the blue or wrongly accuse an old helper loyal to him.“I wanted to bring the soup to you, but Ginger came to the window sill looking for food, so I gave it a bowl too.“But it went away after sniffing it.“I got suspicious that something had been added to the soup since then.”It was only now that Cordelia understood why he had looked worried and said strange things about how not to eat what Helen made next time…“I went home in the afternoon and saw Helen busying about at home,” said Zephyr. “I was already suspicious of her then and thought I’d wait for her to expose her

“What?” Zephyr narrowed his eyes and thought about it before scoffing. “More like he’s absconding!”Cordelia looked at him. It was a coincidence because she was also suspecting Phil. Other than the young man and Zennie, Royal Manor had never taken in other guests.Zephyr’s gaze was icy. “Robert, are his whereabouts traced?”Robert nodded. “His flight goes straight to Jangasas.”It meant that there must be something in Jangasas that attracted him.“Seize the Nelsons at home first,” he said coldly. “Send our people to Jangasas to keep track of him!”“Yes, sir.”“Phil must have support behind him to be able to take a long break from the manor so easily!”Zephyr’s gaze was cold as a draft of a plan formed in his mind. Phil was just the bait. He wanted to use him to fish out the person behind him! As for who it was, he more or less could already guess it.Zephyr turned to Cordelia, who had been quiet by his side. He sighed and hugged her, speaking softly. “This kind of life is scar

Zephyr’s gaze darkened.Cordelia froze. She vaguely remembered that Phil did hold something in his hand when he came with Zennie the last time.“Those things are kept in the kitchen, and I’ve never paid them any mind,” Helen sighed. “I wanted to make chicken and Bird’s Nest soup for you today and took them out, but…”Zephyr’s expression became sharp.This meant that Phil was absolutely not just a permanent employee! His purpose of approaching Zennie was clear—he wanted to eliminate him and Cordelia through Zennie!Once something happened to him and Cordelia—and since they were staying in Royal Manor—the Bayers would have to carry the blame.By then, the Hamertons and the Bayers would be in discord, and they would get into a fight which no one would benefit from…Cordelia also realized the severity of the issue. “Zephyr, we must inform Aunt Cloud about this!“I just came from Seth’s. He’s been counseling Zennie all this time, and she isn’t very well mentally. She has light depre

“What?” Zephyr’s frown was tightly furrowed. He did not know about Phil’s visit to Royal Manor the other day.Cordelia told him the whole story and said, “I didn’t tell you before this because I thought that it was already resolved, so there was no need to, and…“I thought too simple of it.” She was frustrated with herself. “I didn’t expect Phil to hide his motive so deeply!”“No need to blame yourself.” Zephyr rubbed her shoulder. “Even I didn’t expect Phil to be someone like this.”“Aunt Helen damaged the phone.” Cordelia looked at him. “I was worried about him having photos of our home in his phone and that it wouldn’t be safe so Aunt Helen figured out a way and dropped the phone into hot soup.”Zephyr nodded. Although the phone was ruined, they might be able to get a glimpse inside if the data could be recovered…He passed the phone to Robert, who knew what to do with just a glance from him and left immediately.“Sleep earlier.” Zephyr held Cordelia, telling her with a dee

This was not just the reason he had to marry Nelly. This was also the reason Nelly repeatedly boasted in front of her! The girl had a strong family background to back her up!Cordelia bit her lips and suddenly felt upset, so she shoved him away.Zephyr was startled and carefully observed her expression, not missing even a subtle one out.“What’s wrong, honey?”“Nothing.” Cordelia’s face was blank, and she regretted a little the moment she pushed him away. She knew that she was throwing an unreasonable tantrum again, but she just cared that another woman had eyes for her man!Zephyr grinned obsequiously and tried to put his hand back on her shoulder. “If it’s nothing… let’s sleep earlier?”“Go ahead. I still have work.”“You still have work!?” Zephyr’s tone changed.Cordelia gave him a glance, and his temper simmered out immediately. He forced a smile and held her hand to negotiate nicely.“Cordelia, it’s so late now. Stop working… You work so hard all the time. It’s fine to

The next day, Cordelia dragged a sore and hurting body to work.Janine gave her numerous tasks again without noticing anything wrong with her. Cordelia was embarrassed to tell her things like this as well, so she could only withstand the fatigue and work.While she worked, she secretly lamented that she must not allow the man to do as he pleased in the future just because of a few touching words from him!Someone suddenly knocked on her desk, and a loud voice followed. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”Cordelia looked up to see Janine standing before her.Her desk was right outside Janine’s office, so Janine could summon her easily anytime.“Oh, no.” Cordelia shook her head awkwardly.Janine squinted with a smile and lowered her voice to ask, “Is it because… you were too worn out from last night?”Cordelia was startled and flushed red in the face like it could drip blood. She sprang up. “Madam Baker, you—”“Don’t worry. It’s fine. What’s there to be shy about with m

“Sleep? Okay!” he answered with a smile. “I’ll sleep with you.”“Zephyr!” Cordelia huffed at him. “I mean actual sleep, not what you’re thinking…”“What am I thinking?”Cordelia stayed quiet. She got tricked by him again.Zephyr kept an arm around her slim waist.When a few guys walked past them, he raised his glass with a smile. The action blocked Cordelia just nicely.Robert continued to sigh as he deeply realized that it was a mistake staying around the two of them! He wondered if he could negotiate with his boss to add another employee benefit—“Girlfriend included”? ‘Sigh…’A rose-red figure walked over with a champagne flute from afar.Zephyr was going to leave, but Cordelia tugged him and gave him a look.It was just Nelly. It was not like she was some monster…Cordelia pursed her lips and entered battle mode instantly.“Ms. Tanner!” She greeted her with a radiant smile.“Oh, you’re here too, Ms. Jenner!” Nelly tipped her chin, maintaining surface courtesy.Zephyr

Nelly’s expression was stiff, and her gaze was resentful when she stared daggers at Cordelia. As Zephyr took Cordelia elsewhere, she kept her eyes on their backs and suddenly heard Mandy’s words in her ears—“You don’t have Tanner’s blood in you. You aren’t even worthy of Zephyr Hamerton.“I shouldn’t have taken you back from the orphanage and let you be a Tanner back then!”Nelly shook, rage almost breaking through her ribs. She took a few deep breaths to force herself to calm down.“Hah, being mocked again?” A familiar voice sounded.She turned back and saw Yale holding a glass of whisky as he stood leisurely with a smile. The one next to him was no longer Yelena but a young model who wore a low-cut dress.“What does it have to do with you!?” Nelly was annoyed seeing him.“With the woman next to Z, you don’t have to think about marrying into the Hamertons ever!” Yale gloated.Nelly rolled her eyes at him. She was going to leave when Yale drawled his voice. “There’s someone impo

Nelly looked toward that direction discreetly as well and discovered that he was actually staring at Cordelia!She was shocked but did not show it, merely asking, “Mr. Irwin, the auction’s starting. Which piece are you going to bid for?”Rowan’s brows were furrowed lightly. His mind had long gone to Cordelia.As he looked at her from afar and watched how a man kept her in his arms like a treasure and how she smiled that even her dimples oozed happiness… he suddenly felt a pinch on his nose. A sob was lodged in his throat.She really looked a lot like Xyla. Yet, the cool brilliance from her eyes looked so much like his.Rowan smiled and felt sullen. He had promised Xyla that he would never disrupt their lives. Those formulas had severed all their relationships. The moment Xyla left Southeast Aciatic, they were strangers to each other.Rowan’s fingers on the wine glass tightened, and his joints turned white from the exertion.“Mr. Irwin, what’s the matter?”“Hmm?” He snapped out

Nelly stood rooted angrily.The auction began, and the guests eventually got seated.Zephyr and Cordelia sat at the frontmost VIP seats while Rowan did not make a public appearance. He found a suitable spot on the second floor, and its angle allowed him to look down and catch Cordelia’s side profile.Nelly noticed it and was even more convinced that the old lecher, Rowan Irwin, had eyes for Cordelia! He had never spoken a word to Cordelia before, but he defended her so much!Meanwhile, Nelly had spent the whole night talking to him, yet she could not compare to that b*tch…Nelly had rage boiling in her and did not even go to her seat. She went to a corner to make a call.“Where’s Kelly Tanner?” The resentment in her voice was hardly hidden. She took a deep breath and sounded vicious. “Hah, tell her that her big sister will pay her a visit when she’s done with this auction!”“Ms. Nelly, but…” The servant on the other end of the line sounded frantic.“What else do you want?
