Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 601

Marcus deflated as soon as he uttered the word and slumped on the bed.

Cordelia hung up with a chuckle.

When she put her phone down, she felt a pair of strong arms circling her from the back. Before she could turn around, the man pushed forward, and a pair of heated lips greeted her.

Cordelia struggled perfunctorily and gave up, taking the initiative instead to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him back...

Zephyr paused before he was completely won over and went delirious from the pleasure. Cordelia used to be passive, but that seemed to have changed after she became a wife... He liked it a lot.

With a smirk, Zephyr let Cordelia go after kissing her and looked deeply into her eyes. This was the girl he had singlehandedly trained. She was playful and adorable-she was a peach-and he could never hold himself back.

"Why did you hug me so strongly just now?" Cordelia pouted her kiss-swollen lips. "It hurt!"

Zephyr pinched her chin lightly, his thumb brushing past her lip.

"No effect of a punishment if it doesn't!"

"Punishment?" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findηovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Yes!" Zephyr feigned anger. "It's reported everywhere that Mr. Zephyr Hamerton's cheating with some small celebrity!"

Cordelia could not help giggling at his huffing look. She knew how much he hated it, but there was no better way other than to put up with it for the time being.

"Darling..." Cordelia cuddled up to him and coaxed him. "I was surprised that Michelle did it too. I didn't expect Marcus to hook up with her and for her to take him as you...

"But there's good in this, right?" Cordelia blinked her big eyes. "At least it proves that her character's bad and that Fredric's right in giving up on her!"

Zephyr glanced at her with a blank face and asked after a moment, "Then who did you call just now?"

"Marcus?" Cordelia answered after a puzzled pause.

"You asked him if he's coming back 'home'!"

Zephyr's face was wrinkled up like he had been sitting too long in the jealousy tub.

Cordelia tugged the button on his shirt and tilted her head at him. "Got to put on a full show, right? I have to convince him that I've stepped into their trap!"

In reality, she was the one standing outside of the trap.

Zephyr smiled helplessly with an indulging gaze as he patted her head.

"Honey, don't worry. Marcus won't possibly come home." Cordelia was confident. "The match's the day after tomorrow. He—"

"I need to tell my friends." Zephyr huffed. "Don't even hold back!"

Cordelia jolted before she snuggled up to him and chuckled.

The cat did not catch the mouse to eat it. It wanted to play. She would play this game with Marcus and Yale till the end. She wanted them to watch how she led them into this trap with no exit step by step. Cordelia looked radiant and pretty. As Zephyr watched her attentively, he suddenly swooped down and picked her up princess style...

"What are you doing?" Cordelia was caught by surprise before she read the unconcealed desire in his eyes...

Chapter 602

Zephyr took Cordelia back to the bedroom and pinned her down for some compensation... He had only let go of Cordelia slowly after a lingering kiss when she honestly could no longer take it the last time and whined pleadingly.

"Darling." He kept her in his arms and rubbed her ears. "I think you aren't too eager recently..."

"I am not?" Cordelia was groggy as she chortled. "Maybe I've been more tired recently. I'm always sleepy and hungry..."

Zephyr felt bad.

Since Cordelia began managing the family affairs, she had been incredibly busy. Instead, he grew freer-a day passed with a meeting in the office, meeting some business partners, and signing a few documents. He had never imagined that he really would stand behind his wife now when he used to front everything.

It pulled a smile from Zephyr. He thought that he ought to take Cordelia for a holiday when the matter with Marcus was over, temporarily fixing the destination to be Southeast Aciatic.

That was supposed to be her hometown. He had accompanied Rowan this time, and it felt nice. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The place was beautiful, and the people were down to earth. Irwin's private forest, especially, was gorgeously taken care of. The tropical rainforest in the center had unique fireflies with double sets of wings... Zephyr told Cordelia about these, and she fell asleep as he spoke. He tucked her in and quietly got up to call Robert.

"Do you know about the boxing match the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, I do."

Zephyr hummed and said, "Pass the message that no doctor is allowed on the spot! No first aid or emergency care even if someone's life is at stake!"

A few days later, Yale dashed right into Imperial Media's building with a stack of documents and caused an uproar there. He dared to do that because Janine was not in.

Cordelia let him throw his tantrum, ensuring the surveillance cameras caught all his embarrassing stunts before she asked security guards to let him up.

Once Yale barged into Cordelia's office, he cursed angrily, "You b*tch! What the f*ck is this!?"

He slammed the documents on the desk.

The security guards behind him caught his shoulders and dragged him three meters away from Cordelia.

Cordelia glanced at the documents and looked up at him with a chortle. "You're here for these, Yale?"

"Why else?" Yale huffed.

His rage had been simmering for days.

Just days ago, Marcus had taken part in some charity boxing match and had been badly bruised up by the boxing champions there. There had not even been a doctor at the venue to patch him up, and he had been carried back by several people.

Cordelia had only asked about him nonchalantly and told everyone that Zephyr was strong and fit. Even when he had lost the match, he did not need a doctor and would recover on his own. Hence, Marcus was still moaning and groaning in pain in Yale Residence's guest room.

Yale felt that Marcus, as a pawn, was losing his value and wanted to cash out the documents that the latter had signed impersonating Zephyr, only for the Hamerton Group's finance director to tell him that Zephyr's signature alone on those documents was useless-Cordelia had to sign them as well.

"What?" Yale had been taken aback. "Who the f*ck changed the rule?!"

"Mr. Yale, it's Mrs. Hamerton." The director smiled politely. "The new rule's been implemented for more than two months now. How long have you not joined the board meetings?" It made Yale glare daggers at him.

Chapter 603

That was how the scene just now came to be. Yale brought all the documents over to question Cordelia about her right to change the rule.

"Yale, it's not me," Cordelia calmly said with a smile. "Grandpa agreed to change it too. The Hamertons are a big family, and the bigger a family is, the more careful money is used. "So, there's no wrong in me changing this rule!"

"Who the f*ck do you think you are!?" Yale pointed his finger at her. "Grandpa gives you a nod, and you think it's an immunity?

"Zephyr signed the documents. Shoot me if I can't get the money today!"

"Zephyr didn't sign them." Cordelia looked up at him with a cold smirk.

"Lies!" Yale waved the documents. "Look at them carefully! Zephyr's signature is on every last page!" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findηovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"But Zephyr's gone missing." Cordelia's lips tugged. "Why, don't you know?"

"You-"

Yale's heart lurched. The woman knew everything! He would expose himself if he went on. However, he could not show any sign of it. He could only argue that Marcus was Zephyr.

"Are you kidding?" Yale walked up confidently. "I just met Zephyr a few days ago!"

"Are you sure you didn't meet a fake one?"

Yale went white.

Cordelia took a purposeful moment of silence before she looked at him. "Zephyr's really gone missing."

"Hah!"

She continued. "Two weeks ago, he was supposed to take a private jet to Southeast Aciatic and meet the Irwins, but the plane lost communication halfway through the flight, and no one knows if he's alive or dead..."

Yale furrowed his brows, wondering what trick the woman had up her sleeve next.

Cordelia spoke seriously. "Yale, if his plane crashes again this time, it has nothing to do with you and Uncle Matthew, right?"

Yale tensed and yelled, "What are you talking about? Of course not!"

"That's good," Cordelia said softly. "Better not be like the last time when you played some tricks and made the jet lose control. Zephyr was stranded in Jangasas and was very seriously injured. He only got better after half a year..."

"Cordelia, what the f*ck are you saying!?" Yale cried, "I didn't do anything about that plane crash! Don't accuse me!"

"It wasn't you." Cordelia raised her brows. "So, it was Uncle Matthew?"

"Of course it's him!" Yale glared. "He got a maintenance worker to wreck the plane system, so it's hopeless even if Zephyr takes a parachute from the top-"

'Sh*t!' Yale went quiet abruptly. When he snapped his head up, he met Cordelia's shiny eyes.

She brandished the recording pen in her hand and turned to press a button on her desk. It prompted the other side of the suite to open up.

Yale's heart was so close to stopping when he saw Liam walk out slowly from inside. The jade eyes on the latter's dragon-head walking cane shone in emerald under the light and looked solemn. "Grandpa..." Yale stammered as sweat dotted his forehead.

Liam's eyes were stern when he stared at him. "Hah, so Zephyr was nearly killed five years ago because of Matthew and your conspiracy!?"

Chapter 604

"N-No... Grandpa..."

Yale's originally pale face went even paler. He looked at Cordelia with a vicious gleam in his eyes.

Cordelia smirked. "Yale, what you said just now was more than clear. Grandpa has heard it himself. If you argue now, are you saying that there's something wrong with grandpa's ears, and he can't even understand you?

"Or..." Cordelia arched a brow and stared back at him equally ruthlessly. "Or what you said isn't human at all, so others can't understand?" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You little b*tch!"

Yale looked savage as he raised a fist and pounced at Cordelia.

Liam coughed, prompting the bodyguards behind him to step forward and pin Yale down.

"How dare you still behave so atrociously in front of me?"

The old man was aged, but his authoritative presence made sure that everyone did not dare act out of line in front of him.

Yale did not dare utter another word, not that he could. The bodyguards had locked both his arms behind his back, and he was hissing in pain.

"Take him back to the manor!" Liam said icily, "Ask Matthew over as well. I want to question these two savages myself!"

The bodyguards responded affirmatively and took Yale out of imperial Media.

Cordelia followed behind and quietly sent Zephyr a text. She held the phone with a small smile after that.

Liam cared the most about the Hamertons' reputation. Now that Matthew and Yale had conspired right under his nose and against the heir he prioritized, it humiliated him and the Hamertons! Therefore, Liam would never let the father and son go easily this time.

Shortly, the bodyguards took Yale to the manor's study room.

Matthew had long received the news and was waiting nervously at the door. When he saw his father walking over briskly, he went up with an incredibly forced, ingratiating smile. The moment he met Liam's stern gaze, he pulled a long face and feigned innocence.

Liam sat on the couch after entering the study. The expensive Nanmu wood and his strong sense of presence bounced off each other.

"Cordelia." He gestured with his gaze. "Have a seat."

Cordelia sat on the couch next to him.

This made Yale look even more like a criminal.

Matthew could not hold himself back. He looked at Liam, then at Cordelia, the rage simmering in him crackling to life.

Why? His father sat down without fault, but how dare a junior like Cordelia act superior before him!?

Despite that, Matthew swallowed it all down. After all, he dared not provoke her with her current status.

The current priority was to wash the crime off himself and Yale.

"Dad..." Matthew was quick to argue. "Dad, you know me. I've always loved Zephyr! And I see the Hamerton children like my own..." "Hah, is that so?"

Liam snickered. His gaze on him was no longer one of father and son.

Even when a lie was repeated a thousand times, it was still a lie. It would never become the truth.

Matthew broke out in a cold sweat as his eyes kept flitting around.

"Dad!"

"I trusted you too much in the past. That's why I nearly made a grave mistake!"

Liam's cane knocked against the floor harshly. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Liam had always been under the impression that even if Matthew was limited in abilities and was not that smart, sometimes a little problematic in character, it was all fine as long as he did not do anything out of line.

Moreover, Matthew was the only one out of his children who was good with words and often made him happy. That was why he turned a blind eye to what Matthew did.

Even when Zephyr repeatedly told him that there were issues with Matthew, he felt that his grandson was insensible and advised the young man that his uncle was family. He should try getting along with him. He regretted it so much now!

He glared at Matthew and Yale. "This isn't your first time doing dirty deeds like this! I haven't even settled the score about William Jenner sneaking into Zephyr's home to steal Mr. Irwin's medicinal formulas!"

"Dad, listen to me!" Matthew was close to getting on his knees as he rambled, "Yale just lost his head for a moment. He's being used! And... And the plane crash five years ago, I-I didn't do anything! It's got nothing to do with me!"

Cordelia smiled and retrieved the recording pen from her pocket.

Soon, what Yale said was replayed without a word missed.

Matthew was appalled. He glared at Yale, gritting his teeth, and gave him a slap.

"Do you f*cking want to die!? What nonsense are you talking about!?"

"Calm down, Uncle Matthew." Cordelia smiled and said, "Yale's just telling the truth."

"You..."

"My dad can be the witness to you trying to kill Zephyr back then!"

"Hah!" Matthew remained stubborn. "Rowan Irwin and you are family! Can his words be trusted? He'd listen to whatever you say!"

Cordelia sucked in a deep breath. "Uncle Matthew, if you keep denying like this, I have no choice... Unfortunately, the technician you looked for back then used to do maintenance for the Irwins' private jets!"

Matthew frowned and looked at her in confusion.

How could Cordelia possibly find the person? He had already given the man a sum of money for him to escape and stay overseas. There had been no news these five years!

Cordelia looked at him coldly with a smirk.

"I heard you weren't even willing to spend when you asked him to get the job done."

Matthew narrowed his eyes and snorted.

"Uncle Matthew, you promised to pay him 150,000 dollars, but he couldn't contact you anymore after you paid 40,000 dollars. What happened?"

"Nonsense!" Matthew was flustered.

"Not from my mouth! He came to ask me for money!" Cordelia crossed her arms in front of herself. "Say, should I pay him, Uncle Matthew? If word about how you work got out, it'd embarrass the Hamertons!" "Bullsh*t!" Matthew's drool went flying. "Cordelia, don't think you'll intimidate me by bluffing that you found some technician!"

"Uncle, I'm not lying. He did come asking for money..."

"What money?! I even paid him an extra 75,000 dollars. It was a total of 225,000 dollars! Ask him out. I'll question him face to face!"

"Dad!" Yale pulled him back hastily. "Are you f*cking crazy!?"

Matthew paled upon realizing that he had blurted the truth. He could no longer take it back, though. He was frozen on the spot like a statue, and some time passed before he dared to blink.

The moment he blinked, he met Liam's stern and angry eyes...

The corners of Matthew's lips twitched, and he called out weakly, "Dad..."

Chapter 606

Liam did not say anything.

He looked at Matthew and Yale coldly. The seconds of silence felt like the study room was thrown into a vacuum. There was immense pressure hanging just above their heads as their lips quivered, and they stayed quiet.

Suddenly, Liam picked up the crystal ashtray on the table and hurled it toward them.

"B*stards!"

"Ah!" Yale, whose reflexes were fast, crouched down, hugging his head. While Matthew was not hit, he did not manage to avoid it, and the ashtray landed right by his foot.

Liam was furious. "You... Hah, my dear son and grandson! How did the Hamertons have pieces of trash like you two!?"

They were not just pieces of trash! They were fools! So much for an unsought confession. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Cordelia watched everything indifferently.

"Take your son and leave!" Liam picked up his cane and hit Matthew's calf.

The jolt of pain made Matthew yowl. As if this hit was cursed, it also crushed the last of father and son love left in him.

With a pale face, Matthew balled up his hands and slowly showed the fierceness in his eyes.

"Yale and I are pieces of trash!?" He gritted his teeth. "Old man, you have no right to teach me this lesson!"

"You..." Liam's eyes went wide.

Aside from Zephyr, no one had dared argue back like this! However, it felt completely different when Zephyr did it and when Matthew did it! Liam was more or less tolerant of his precious grandson, but he could not take even one second of it when it came to this sc*m of a son. "Matthew Hamerton, I'll say this one last time." Liam stared right into his eyes. "Take your useless son and get out of the manor!"

"What right do you have to do that?" Matthew sneered. "Don't I have you to thank for becoming who I am today?

"Ever since we were young, you only had Henry in your eyes! Are the rest of us not your biological children? You treated us worse than a stepfather would!

"You give him the best house, the best marriage, love his son the most and even let him have a divorce and remarriage... What about him? He's nothing! He's more of a piece of trash than I am! "Your favoritism is what caused what's happening today! If Zephyr did die in the plane crash five years ago, you shouldn't blame anyone but yourself!"

"Enough!" snarled Liam.

He was old, and his health was not as it used to be. He swayed after shouting, feeling a little dizzy.

Cordelia hurried forward to hold him.

"Favoritism?" Liam gritted every word. "Henry's not exactly capable, but he's honest and loyal. He has no tricks up his sleeve and never schemes against anyone! If you had half of his character, I'd favor you

too!

"Matthew Hamerton, do I not indulge you enough? It's not that you've done many things perfectly. It's that I've never wanted to calculate them with you!

"But I didn't expect you to push it and even conspire against Zephyr! What else do you not dare to do!?"

Liam panted harshly, and Clark quickly signaled the bodyguards when he saw it at the door.

The muscular bodyguards darted forward and pinned Matthew and Yale down.

Cordelia poured Liam some tea and sat beside him to give him a massage.

"Grandpa, don't be mad..." Cordelia gave him a look. "It's not the time to be angry yet. We have something else..."

Liam was silent for a moment before he nodded and sounded weak. "I know... Cordelia, you handle it. Send that man to where he should be!" "Mm, I will." Cordelia's gaze was determined.

Chapter 607

Cordelia asked Clark to call the family doctor over to give Liam a full check at once, then she went to Yale and said with a smile, "Lead the way, Yale!" "What?" Yale pretended not to understand.

Cordelia smiled, replying clearly, "To catch the affair red-handed!"

Yale could not refuse. He and Matthew were like the Hamertons' weeds-everyone could step on them.

The bodyguards kept him pinned as he took Cordelia to Yale Residence.

Michelle was applying some meds to Marcus in the guest room as she pretended to shed a few tears. She wanted to throw herself at him, but the man shouted, "Don't come over!" The changed tone shocked Michelle.

The injuries on Marcus throbbed once they were pulled, causing him to hiss.

." Michelle told him softly, "I've spent a couple of days here with you since you got injured!"

"Zephyr..."

"Hmm? Oh..." Marcus thought that she wanted money and waved an impatient hand. "Go to Yale if you want money. I've signed plenty of documents. That'll make him lots of money!"

"What are you talking about?" Michelle was stunned.

Marcus shut up immediately. "Nothing, nothing." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findηøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Michelle's eyes flitted. "Zephyr, I've kept you company. Could you bear to see me stay like this in showbiz?"

Marcus side-eyed her. "Is that not good?"

"Of course not! Those people look down on me..."

"It's not like you're a bigshot. It's normal that they look down on you!"

"You..." Michelle took a deep breath to suppress her anger.

Marcus was more than annoyed. His injuries and Michelle nagging him about spending money to make her popular made him doubt his life choices.

"Zephyr, you can't not help me!" Michelle went all out and plopped herself in his arms.

Marcus' reflex caused him to shove her. "F*ck you! Are you trying to kill me with the pain?"

Michelle stumbled from the push and fell to the floor, crying in pain.

"Stay the f*ck away from me!" cursed Marcus. "You got my wound!"

Michelle was relentless. She struggled to get up and cling to him.

Marcus nearly slapped her, but once the warm and pliant body was in his arms, he could not control a certain part of his and lost his rationale. Michelle took the opportunity to kiss him.

Before she could, the door was opened with a loud sound.

Both of them jumped in shock.

"I see why you don't come home now." Cordelia's sarcastic voice echoed. "You're hiding at Yale's and having the time of your life!"

Marcus and Michelle were astonished.

They saw Cordelia at the door looking like the queen while the man behind him who hung his head and was pinned by the bodyguards was the usually arrogant... Yale? "W-What's going on?" Marcus stammered but acted like Zephyr and said, "Cordelia, why are you holding Yale up like this? Come on, let him go!"

"Yale's done something wrong, so this is how he's punished." Cordelia smiled. "How could we let him go before he learns his lesson?"

Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 608

Cordelia sounded confident and very much like the missus of the home.

Despite that, Michelle purposely wrapped her arms around Marcus' neck and looked at her challengingly.

"Mrs. Hamerton, this is Yale Residence, so it's Mr. Yale's place, right? How is it right when the Hamertons prioritize courtesy and manners, but you make such a big fuss coming here with your cousin-in-law held down and teaching your husband a lesson?"

Cordelia paused before she chuckled. She only knew that Michelle had ulterior motives in the past but had not thought that she was so stupid!

"Ms. Carmichael, are you sure the person you're hugging is my husband?"

Michelle froze. She looked at Marcus, but the latter avoided her gaze. She thought it was a normal reaction from the man. After all, which man would not panic when caught red-handed in their affair? Besides, was Cordelia trying to say that she would divorce him?

It would be even better in that case. There was a sense of triumph in Michelle's expression. She got up and stood before Cordelia proudly. "Mrs. Hamerton, why the trouble? Zephyr's heart isn't with you anymore!

"He doesn't even go back to your home and has been with me all this while!

"I'm the one taking care of him now that he's injured too. I tend to his every need, but what have you done for him as his wife?"

Marcus was alarmed and went up to press Michelle's shoulders.

"Don't stop me!" Michelle held his arm. "Zephyr, let's make things clear with Mrs. Hamerton here today! You love me, right?"

"Are you crazy!?" Marcus could no longer hold himself back.

"Zeph-"

"Michelle Carmichael, piss off!" Marcus kept shoving her away. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰind_ηovel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Not only did he want her out, but he must figure out something to get himself out of this place too!

Marcus looked around. Cordelia's people had filled both inside and outside Yale Residence, and she caught even Yale. Phil was not there to take him either. It would be harder than going to heaven to escape this place!

He looked at Yale, but the latter's head was lowered like a kicked dog. He regretted it so much now. He should not have come to Centrolis, should not have gone to Yale, and should not have gotten involved in this mess!

Cordelia crossed her arms with a hint of a smile in her eyes. "Michelle, you best reconfirm if this guy is my husband!"

"What... What do you mean?"

Cordelia did not answer but pulled out her phone to make a call. When it connected, she greeted softly, "Darling." Michelle felt her ears ring. She blanked out like thunder had struck her.

A certain someone's footsteps rang from the outside shortly, and the bodyguards separated to the sides respectfully.

As Zephyr walked in, his sculpted face was stern, and his gaze was icy as if it could freeze everything the eyes raked across. Marcus stood rooted in horror while Michelle was dumbfounded.

Zephyr made a hand gesture, and the bodyguards went up to pin Marcus down. Michelle let out a cry as she slumped to the floor. A few police officers entered and nodded to Zephyr with a smile.

"Mr. Hamerton."

"You're here just in time." Cordelia pointed at Marcus with a straight face. "The one I reported to you is this man here!"

Chapter 609

The police officer approached Marcus and showed him his identification.

"Marcus Grist?" The officer snickered. "You impersonated Zephyr Hamerton and forged his signature to sign Hamerton Group's important documents. The alleged sum is 45,000,000 dollars. The police will be charging you for fraud!

"The documents you've signed do not have any legal effect!"

Marcus felt like his heart was going to stop as his eyes were close to bulging.

Before he could react, he was handcuffed, and two officers escorted him out.

"It's not me! Not me!" Marcus yelled, "It's not me... It's Yale Hamerton! He asked me to sign them. I...”

His voice grew more distant until it completely disappeared.

Cordelia breathed a long breath of relief and met Zephyr's gentle eyes. The smile in his gaze was her best compliment.

"Let's go home," he said softly.

Cordelia nodded and turned to look at Yale with a slight frown. "Zephyr, he..." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zephyr looked over as well.

It was at the same time Yale suddenly fell to the ground, convulsing. His already pale face looked even more like a ghost now, and it was frightening. Cordelia gasped and stepped back.

Yale struggled on the ground like a fish out of water, and even the muscular bodyguards could not control him. His hand hit the shelf, and a vase fell, crashing into shards! Cordelia was stunned, and Yelena's face flashed in her mind...

She recalled seeing Yelena, who was locked up in the horse ranch, looking this pale and shaking and convulsing on the ground like this as well. She was exactly like Yale currently! "Zephyr..." Cordelia's heart lurched. "Did Yale... have some kind of candied drops too?"

Zephyr's expression hardened, but before he could say anything, he saw Yale pouncing for Cordelia with a glass shard in hand like he was ready to die with her. "Cordelia, move!" yelled Zephyr.

He kept her behind his back, causing Yale to stab the glass shard in his arm instead. Blood splattered.

The bodyguards swarmed to subdue Yale while Zephyr kept a tight grip on his wound, but that could not stop the blood. It still flowed from between his fingers.

"Darling!" Cordelia felt like her heart was being sliced. She teared up and shouted, "Get the doctor!"

Zephyr smiled at her and said softly, "Cordelia, it's okay. I'm not in pain."

Despite what he said, only he knew how deep the glass went. He was already sweating on his forehead...

Cordelia cried harder upon hearing this. She hated herself for reacting so slowly just now and giving Yale the chance. If Zephyr had not put himself in front of her, that glass shard would be on her neck and she would be the one bleeding profusely now!

"Honey, I'm sorry, so sorry..."

"Silly." Zephyr lifted another hand to stroke her head.

"It's nothing, just a prick by the glass. It's normal that the blood can't be stopped so soon. You crying like this makes it look like I will die!"

"Shut it!" Cordelia was angry but amused. She was still crying when she glared at him.

Zephyr had been boxing for so many years, so he was experienced in getting hurt.

Before the doctor came, he asked a bodyguard to tear up a bedsheet to wrap it around his wound. He then glanced at Yale coldly.

"Looks like Yale's pretty ill!" He sneered, his cold face dark. He instructed the servants, "Keep Yale watched. He's not allowed to leave Yale Residence without my permission!"

Chapter 610

Robert escorted Zephyr back to Zen Residence, and the doctor arrived soon to disinfect and patch him up. Cordelia was just beside them, watching in concentration.

The Internet was buzzing with life. A short afternoon and a night later, the trending topics were all about the Hamertons.

[Zephyr Hamerton's signature forged by impersonator]

[Yale Hamerton attempts to kill his cousin]

Speculations and insider news were published one after another, and the audience had a field trip with it, nearly paralyzing the Internet.

However, Cordelia was not in the mood for that. She was occupied with Zephyr's wound and memorizing the doctor's instructions of what medicine to consume once every how many hours. When Cordelia and Zephyr returned to Royal Manor at night, she held her husband carefully.

Zephyr had just stepped his left foot into the door, and she was bringing him his slippers. It made his right foot hover in the air for some time.

"Darling, you don't have to be like this!" He smiled. "I'm wounded in my hand. Not my legs!"

Cordelia smiled at him sweetly. She liked taking care of him.

Although that was what Zephyr said, he was inwardly pleased. If he knew that a wound could give him this level of treatment, he would stretch his arm for Yale to slash it!

After Cordelia was done with preparations, she helped Zephyr to the bed and tucked him in before she brought the supper she made upstairs to feed him.

Zephyr did not want her to be so busy, but she turned to grab her phone halfway through, suddenly thinking of something.

When the video call connected, her parents came into view with a rainforest behind them. One of them wore a vest while the other wore a sarong, both Southeast Aciatic's traditional clothing. They were taking a walk hand in hand and were incredibly happy that Cordelia called.

"Cordelia, how are you?" Xyla looked at her lovingly. "You look like you got thinner..."

"What?" Rowan abruptly pushed himself into the frame and stared at the screen with wide eyes.

Cordelia could not help giggling. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Dad, mom, I'm fine. Don't worry! I didn't become thin. It might be due to the camera and lighting!"

Her old folks replied with an "Oh" and pulled the phone further, still inspecting her carefully.

Cordelia chuckled. She saw the rainforest behind them and the nightfall there. She took in the speckles of light flying around them and thought they were the fireflies with double sets of wings.

"Dad, I have something to ask," she said directly. "Zephyr's arm got hurt. Do you have any way to make him heal faster?"

"Got hurt?" Rowan blinked and looked sly. "How? I heard there was a boxing match over there previously. Was he beaten up?"

"Dad..." Cordelia smiled awkwardly.

Zephyr heard it clearly on the side. Since the camera was not on him, he rolled his eyes at Rowan.

"Not from the match," Cordelia explained briefly. "He got cut by glass... As for what happened, it's a long story. Just tell me how to take care of him, or... send me whatever effective meds Irwin Pharmaceuticals has!"

Rowan pursed his lips in disgruntlement.

Zephyr only had a superficial wound, and his daughter was this concerned over it. A man was rough and rugged. A cut was just a cut! Did she have to be so worried?

Irwin Pharmaceuticals certainly had excellent healing medicine, with the effects visible within 48 hours once applied.

Hah, he was not giving it to him!
