Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 621

Zephyr's heart thumped, and he quickly went after Zennie.

Cordelia dared not run too fast as she was pregnant, so she followed behind him by walking fast. He stopped in front of the outpatient building, looking rather gloomy.

There was only one department, the psychology department.

There was a counseling room there. Important figures of Centrolis frequented this place to vent whatever they had.

Cordelia was worried and instantly thought Zennie might be there to talk to a psychologist, not for the college entrance examination, but for the strange message from an anonymous number.

She had Seth guiding her for the examination. She was usually great at taking stress, and she had always aced in school.

Therefore, that should not be it.

So... the message was the only reason!

Cordelia jolted and looked at Zephyr. They soon understood what they had in mind from each other's eyes.

"Hubby!" Cordelia quickly pulled him. "Don't go in now!"

He stopped.

That was right. He was too impulsive and had not thought it through.

If he rushed in and Zennie saw him, she would hide from him even more. She would not tell him the truth anymore.

She had gone to talk to Seth at his clinic the last time, but she did not look for him when she needed help now. Clearly, she was hiding something from him.

Cordelia's voice was soft, but each word was unusually clear. "Zephyr, I'm sure this has something to do with Phil. It's better for the doer to undo what he has done. As soon as we find Phil, everything will be solved."

He nodded.

However, it was really hard to look for Phil. There had been no news about him the past few months, and none of his men could find anything about him.

The only clue was that he was good at disguising himself.

If he was walking on the street, it would be almost impossible to recognize him.

Cordelia sighed. "Please get Uncle Clark to care for her more. It's lucky that Zennie walked out of her trauma the last time. This time... we can't let our effort go to waste."

Fredric went to the bar that he usually frequented with Josiah.

It was afternoon, so the bar was empty. There was not even music.

Nevertheless, the professional bartender served him juice anyway.

"Why did you give me this?" Fredric frowned. "It smells like juice. Do you think I'm a kid?"

The bartender felt wronged. "Aren't you a lawyer? Shouldn't you always have a clear head and not drink anything alcoholic..."

"I don't have a case today!" Fredric was pissed.

It was the first time the bartenders saw the soft-spoken lawyer being mad. They left him alone.

What was wrong? Did he lose a case?

Fredric was even more irritated after they left. He had failed to chase after Neil's car this morning. The car cost over 1,000,000 dollars, while his car cost merely 150,000 dollars. "Hey, why are you sitting here alone?" A clear voice suddenly came.

The smell of the woman's perfume came before she arrived.

What came after was the deafening cheers everywhere she walked by.

The bar was small, but it was a glorious moment for Millie. Everyone was asking for her autograph and photos with her. She could not feel her hand anymore. "What, nobody's serving you drinks?" Millie was flirty. She grabbed his tie as soon as she got close and giggled. "You're like a kid! Here, let me buy you drinks!"

Fredric was stunned.

She snapped her fingers, and the bartenders served high-end brandy and whiskey.

She poured two glasses and pushed one to Fredric in a natural manner.

"Cheers!"

He looked at her with slight shock. Would an artist lose her facade when she had reached the highest point of her life? She was so easygoing!

He picked up the shot glass and took a sip.

Millie sat next to him. "Hey, don't you have work today? You're here so early in the day!"

"What about you?" Fredric looked at her. "Don't you have work today?"

"The movie has finished shooting!"

"Oh..."

"Hey, handsome!" Millie paused. She could not help but gossip. "The competition between you and the best actor, Neil, who got the girl?" She touched the tender spot!

Millie saw through him. His troubled face charmed her even more.

She sighed and asked carefully, "Almighty lawyer, have you... given up on Ms. Lulham?"

He did not want to answer that question, so he kept drinking to ignore her.

"Hey, you've really given up!" She looked excited and almost jumped up. "Why don't you try me?"

"What?" Fredric felt dizzy from this rose that fell from the sky.

"I said we should try being together!"

Millie inched closer, leaned on the table, and seductively bent her flexible body.

She was smiling and laughing in a flirty manner. Trinity finally dumped this nice fellow!

If that were the case, this would not be considered as stealing her best friend's boyfriend, right?

Fredric stuttered, "M-Ms. Hill... Err... We should be cautious when it comes to this. We can't be trying things so easily." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I'm not an easygoing person!" Millie smiled brightly. She leaned on his shoulder, and even her voice was smiling as she enunciated. "But I can be... wild!"

Chapter 622

Suddenly, there was passion in the atmosphere, and the air around was getting warm.

The best actress' beautiful face was stunning under the colorful lights.

Fredric was sweating. He would dodge whenever Millie inched closer to him. He was bending so much that he almost fell-there was nowhere that he could avoid her anymore. Fredric forced a smile. "M-Ms Hill, can you calm down? Please..."

Millie looked at him for a while and suddenly straightened her body. She drank in a carefree manner and teased him. "Boring!"

He widened his eyes.

"Why are you so nervous? Are you scared that I will eat you?" she asked in disdain.

The dress she was wearing was dark red embroidered with golden peonies. It was eye-catching.

She opened a button at the collar, showing her long and fair neck. Her collarbones were seductive.

She was charming.

Millie thought it was funny when she saw his blank face. "That was the audition scene for my new movie. How was it? Can I get the role?" Fredric was rendered speechless.

"I'm telling the truth! Look, I haven't even changed out of my costume! I'm going to the second audition later."

He nodded while stuttering, "Oh... then, all the best with the audition."

She smiled in a flirty manner.

In reality, she knew that this dummy still liked Trinity. It was just that Michelle had fooled him for too long. She could not believe that such a wise lawyer would be fooled.

Therefore, one should not get themselves into a relationship easily, or one would lose themselves.

Millie shrugged. Although she liked him, her career was more attractive in comparison.

Moreover, apart from money and looks, one of her requirements was that the man had to be ready.

No matter how many exes the man had, he would have to vacant his heart for her!

Otherwise, she would not want to be in a relationship like a fool. That would stop her from making money!

"Okay, knock yourself out!" Millie waved. "I'll get going. I can't let this year's Best Actress award slip away from me!"

Fredric smiled courteously and nodded.

However, Millie's face suddenly changed as soon as she was done speaking. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What's wrong?" He looked where she was looking.

There was a secretive person. Was that a paparazzo?

Fredric usually would not come in contact with reporters, but his law firm had many cases with celebrities and reporters. He got up and said to Millie softly while looking at her. "I'll handle it if she's a paparazzo.' "Hey, no need!" She pulled him. "She doesn't look like one."

"Hmm?"

"She looks like the Hamertons' daughter!"

Fredric was stunned. When he looked again, the person had left through the bar's backdoor and disappeared.

Was it Zennie? Why would she be there? Should she not be at school at this hour?

"Hehe..." Millie smiled. "Perhaps she skipped class to be with her boyfriend!"

Fredric frowned.

The Hamertons were strict, while Zennie had been obedient since young. She would not dare to skip class no matter what.

However...

Fredric was still worried, so he hurriedly went after her after saying goodbye to Millie.

He arrived at the street behind the bar. There were few people in the crude alley. A flock of pigeons flew by, and the sunset dragged his shadow long.

He looked left and right but did not see Zennie. However, he was getting worried. As he was about to call Zephyr, someone suddenly patted his back!

"Zennie?" He snapped his head back and saw Zennie's big eyes. "Why are you here?"

"I should ask you that!" She pouted. "Have you been following me? Why are you here?"

Chapter 623

"I..." Fredric licked his lips and smiled awkwardly.

"This is a bar. It isn't a place where girls like you would come. I thought I saw you, so I came after you... Wouldn't your brother flip the entire Centrolis over if something happened to you?"

"I'm an adult, okay?" Zennie mumbled. "Also, can't I come here to relax due to the stress I'm getting from school? Who said bars prohibit students..."

"Okay, okay." He was helpless, "Don't stay out late. Go home soon."

"Got it. I'm going home now!" She waved at him and hopped toward the main street happily.

Fredric frowned as he watched her leave.

He was unsure why, but he had a feeling she seemed to be different from how she usually was.

Although she had tried her best to force her usual cheekiness... No matter what, she was different.

He hoped that he was overthinking. After thinking it through, he decided to inform Seth. He was the boyfriend that everyone wished Zennie would end up with!

He walked to the car park to hail a cab and texted Seth.

Meanwhile, on a street not far from the bar, Zennie hugged her backpack tightly. She instinctively shivered as she looked at the person before her.

"I-I've already done the thing you asked me to do. Can you give it to me now?"

"You've done as I said?" The man smirked.

His face remained pale even from the light of the sunset. His skinny body was almost sickly.

A cunning gleam flashed through his eyes under the baseball cap.

Zennie answered in panic, "I-I did. Really, I did as you said—"

However, before she was done speaking, the man grabbed her backpack. She screamed and attempted to grab it back but could not fight the man's strength.

The things in her bag were scattered all over the ground. There were pills in a small transparent bag among the messy books.

"Hah, it's here! How dare you say that you've done as I said?"

"Phil..." Zennie was shaking, and her eyes turned red. There was fear in her big eyes. "W-What do you want!?" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I asked you to put these pills in the bar. Why did you bring them back to me!?"

Phil looked ferocious. He picked up the packet of pills and tossed it on her face.

Her face paled from the scare. He grabbed her shoulders before she could react. His distorted face was right in front of her face. What he said was like nails pinning her heart. "Zennie, you dare to go against me now? Hmm?

"What? You think you're good because you have a doctor with you? Hah... If he knew our past, I'm sure he wouldn't be treating you like how he's treating you now!" "No, no..." Zennie shook her head while crying. It felt as if there were thousands of arrows piercing her heart.

"I'm the only one in this world that will ever like you!"

Phil grabbed her chin.

She felt suffocated. The feeling of her being useless came back like a nightmare.

Her chin hurt, and she felt as if her bones would be crushed.

Zennie sobbed. She felt like she was standing at the edge of a cliff. With a light push, she would fall and die.

"I look up to you to ask you to do this for me!

"Zennie, you're shameless! Ha... That's right, you're shameless!

"I'm sure Seth has never seen those pictures, right? I'm telling you, if you dare to go against me, I'll show the world who you really are if you drive me mad!"

Zennie struggled hard. She was in pain, each of her cells screaming.

She could not get over it, no matter how many times she talked to a therapist.

Since the day Phil sent her the first message, she fell into fear. It was like a borderless sea-she had no idea where the end was.

She was surprised by the many pictures that he sent later.

In reality, those were the selfies they took when they traveled. They were conservative and did not even hold hands. However, what Zennie could not understand was how he had edited the photos to be so obscene as if she was a promiscuous lady. The editing was seamless.

It was futile that she was the only one who knew the truth.

Gossip was a fearful thing. If those pictures were to spread, she would be drowned by the world's harsh comments.

"Why are you quiet, Ms. Hamerton?" Phil grinned. "I recall you talked a lot when we were together. What happened to you? Are you a mute now?"

Chapter 624

Phil kept challenging Zennie's sensitivity, driving her mad.

"I'm begging you, Phil..." Zennie looked at him while crying. "Let me go. I really can't do it... I've no grudge against the people at the bar. Why would I want to harm them with drugs?

"Phil, I won't tell anyone if you let me go. Okay? Let me go... I'll give you money, I'll give you a lot of money, enough for you to leave Centrolis and live a good life..."

She was panting from crying and sounded incoherent.

Although it was the main street, not many people walked by.

Even when there were some pedestrians, whenever Zennie wanted to beg for help, Phil would grab her waist to hug her. He would lift his baseball cap and smile at the passersby apologetically.

The more she struggled, the more he wanted to fight her. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findηovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'Stop it, baby. Come home with me!"

His voice was even gentler than the light at dawn. The passersby would smile from their hearts when they heard what he said.

Zennie shrieked with all that she had. "Help! Help me!"

"When will you stop making noise? I've agreed to buy you the bag that you want!"

"Let me go-"

Unfortunately, the passersby thought it was just a couple's quarrel.

Nobody was willing to stick their nose in their business.

Zennie cried out loud in despair. She fell to the ground after struggling away from Phil.

He condescendingly looked at her. He felt a surge of excitement rising in his body, which was sickening.

"If you don't want to leave the drugs in the bar, do something else for me."

Zennie looked at him with tears filling her eyes.

Phil scoffed. "Help me destroy Cordelia and Zephyr!"

Rowan and Xyla rushed back from Southeast Aciatic after learning that Cordelia was pregnant.

They flew out in the morning and arrived at Royal Manor in the evening.

When Zephyr opened the door, he was dumbstruck to see his clumsy father and mother-in-law.

He then looked at Ginger, which they were holding...

"Meow!"

It seemed to be plumper now. It squinted while meowing at him. It had a disdainful look on its face, and it buried itself into Xyla's embrace after that.

Zephyr took a deep breath and pressed on his throbbing temples hard.

Rowan frowned, feeling upset. "Say, are you going to let us stand here?"

Zephyr was stunned. At that point, he snapped back to his senses and invited them in.

Rowan showed his arrogance again. He cleared his throat intentionally and said to Xyla, "See? I told you that I didn't want to come. Our son-in-law doesn't like us!

"You're rushing things, Xyla! Our daughter is the high-and-mighty Mrs. Hamerton now. She'll definitely have people taking care of her since she's pregnant. Why must you insist that I come as well... "See, I have to look at his face!"

"Okay." Xyla rolled her eyes at him helplessly. "Then I'll book the flight ticket for you to fly back now!"

Rowan fell silent.

In reality, he could not wait to come. It was just that the treatment he got was different from what he imagined. Zephyr forced a smile.

However, they instantly found out why he had that face on as soon as they entered...

Liam sat on the couch while smiling. The maids surrounded him, while Henry and Kate were smiling too.

Uncle Clark and Robert stood behind them, and the Hamertons' medical team was running around. Chefs from many countries were there too.

The chef from Ilbon that Cordelia had picked was happily working in the kitchen now. He was flushing.

It felt like a mini banquet. However, Royal Manor was small. It was crowded as there were many people.

Rowan and Xyla looked at each other and could not help but smile.

Everyone was surrounding Cordelia like a star.

They were all smiling happily.

Zephyr was the only one who seemed to be in a different world.

He felt bored and checked the time, thinking about why so many people were staying there. He wanted to be alone with his wife... "Meow!" Ginger ran to him and rubbed his foot.

Was it pitying him?

Even a cat was pitying him now?

Feeling annoyed, Zephyr glared fiercely at it.

Ginger stared blankly at him while tilting its little head. Something was wrong with this man today!

It was hungry, so it came here to ask for canned tuna. Why was he so fierce?

Ginger ran to the courtyard to look for Aunt Helen.

Zephyr showed a smile on his face as if he had won.

"Hear that, Zen?" Suddenly, a voice pulled him back.

"Hmm?" He had a blank look on his face. "Hear what?"

Liam's face instantly sank, and he criticized him. "What's wrong with you lately? Did you not hear anything the doctor just said?"

"-"

"I'm worried about letting you take care of Cordelia and my great-grandson!"

Zephyr was rendered speechless.

Cordelia smiled gently. She got up to walk to him, leaning on him like a cat.

"Don't you say that about my husband, grandpa!" she said softly. "He takes great care of me. I'm spoiled!"

"Oh, really?" Liam was happy now. "Sure, I won't criticize him, then!"

Zephyr was surprised. It was rare to see his grandfather so obedient.

"Zen, Cordelia is pregnant now. Don't let her exhaust herself." Liam smiled. "No matter her work or house chores, do more for her. Understand?"

Zephyr was stunned. He understood what his grandfather said as: "No matter the company or the house, you'll be handling the money. Understand?" Zephyr smirked. Happiness hit him when he least expected it.

"Work well!" Liam smiled. "I believe your wife will treat you well!"

What?

Zephyr was stunned and could not react for a long time.

"Say... What's wrong with you? Why do you keep zoning out?" Liam glanced at him, irritated. He could not believe the heir that he trained himself was only left with a handsome face now. He had nothing in his brain. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zephyr forced a smile. "Grandpa, I don't understand what you mean..."

"I'm saying that you should work for your wife. Don't let her exhaust herself! Cordelia is reasonable. I heard that she gives you... allowance? I'm sure she'll raise your allowance a little bit!"

Zephyr was rendered speechless. He stared at his wife, who was laughing out loud.

In the end, he was still a bee that worked for his wife?

'Alright, then...'

He had signed the labor contract for life. He would belong to her as long as he was alive. He would forever be hers, even in his next lives.

He patted her head with allure in his eyes. He could not hide the sweetness his smile oozed out.

The sky was turning dark. The people left one after the other after chatting for a little bit.

Before leaving, apart from the supplements and medicine Rowan had brought from Southeast Aciatic, he secretly shoved Zephyr a black card.

The latter was stunned. He looked at him with wide eyes.

"Keep your mouth shut. Don't let your mother-in-law find out." Rowan pursed his lips. He tried his best to look arrogant. "After all... I don't have much. This is the only thing I can give you!" Zephyr was touched to receive that.

It was a black card, after all. It had no limit!

The Irwins would pay the bills. He could buy so many packets of cigarettes...

Ha! He could rely on his father-in-law at critical times.

Zephyr smiled brightly. He could not control his voice from the excitement when he yelled, "Thanks, dad!"

"What the hell!?" Rowan almost fell from the stairs.

He turned his head to glare at him. At that moment, Xyla, who was walking in front, also turned around.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Rowan's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth and forced a stupid smile.

Zephyr's hand shook, and he accidentally dropped the card.

Xyla's eyes were sharp, and she immediately reacted. "Wow, Rowan! You have a treasury now?"

"No, no..." Rowan quickly waved. He was sweating from the panic. He turned around to pin the blame on Zephyr. "It's his! He's hiding that card!"

"Dad, you-"

'You stupid, old man!

'Forget it that you are accusing me. Why must you say it so loudly!?

'Do you want Cordelia to find out?'

As expected, Cordelia turned her head.

However, she did not blame him. Instead, she walked to him and held his arm with a sweet smile.

"Hubby, I've confiscated your black card, right?"

"Mm-hmm, yes!" Zephyr answered quickly.

"So... this isn't yours, right?"

He shook his head hard.

"Wifey, I'd be struck by lightning if I hid money from you!"

Rowan panicked when he heard he was betraying him. "You b*stard..."

"Dad, you're in the wrong!" Cordelia pretended to be strict. "Forget it that you're hiding money from mom. But you're accusing my husband? You're unreasonable!"

"That's right!" Xyla wrapped her arms and squinted with a smile.

Rowan knew her too well. She would smile whenever she was mad.

Judging by her smirk...

He quickly said something in an attempt to muddle through. "Xyla, I just love my son-in-law! He's a man, and he's been tortured by our daughter. It just makes me so sad..."

Chapter 626

Zephyr scoffed, showing a look of disdain.

Cordelia covered her mouth to smile. She was happy.

Xyla was a bright woman. How would she be fooled by what Rowan said? She walked slowly to him, her smile catching him off-guard. Subsequently, she grabbed his wrist and poked an acupoint... "Ouch!" Rowan screamed. He lost his image.

"How many more cards do you have?"

"Three more!"

"Give them to me!"

With a simple order, she confiscated his treasury.

She smiled in satisfaction. In the end, she handed the black card to Zephyr.

"Mom, I..." Zephyr hesitated. He was not sure if he should take it!

"It's okay. It's from me!" Xyla looked at him with love, and she looked at Cordelia. "My daughter definitely agrees with this, right?"

Cordelia looked playful. "Mom, of course I have no opinion of how you express your love for your son-in-law!"

"Mm-hmm, take it!"

Zephyr took it over in relief and chuckled.

Rowan stood aside like a good boy while carrying Ginger. It pitied him by meowing. It was thinking, 'Ugh, what bad luck. My owners are so poor!

'Will I be able to eat canned croakers?

'Sigh...'

Cordelia watched her parents walking far away with Ginger. Happiness filled her eyes.

Her father treated her mother well, just like how Zephyr was with her.

She was happy for her mother.

"Wifey, it's chilly outside. Come in soon." Zephyr threw a thin sweater on her, urging her to come inside.

Cordelia nodded. She heard the landline ringing as soon as she came in.

It was Robert who called.

"Sir, ma'am, we've been following Ms. Zennie lately. Indeed, she has been skipping classes. Also, she'd meet a mysterious man every time..." Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart and asked by instinct. "Is it Phil?"

Robert paused. "Should be him."

"Then capture him quickly!"

"Ma'am, Mr. Z asked us not to do anything yet."

Cordelia was stunned and turned to look at Zephyr.

The man wore a serious expression. He nodded at her his eyes were determined.

She instantly understood his intention.

If they alerted Phil now, they might let him escape again.

They would use Zennie to lure the enemies out, capturing all of them.

However, it was just too much for her.

Cordelia looked upset after hanging up the call. She was worried about Zennie.

"Don't think too much, wifey." Zephyr hugged her. "I actually want to protect her... But there are things that she'll have to face and solve herself.

"There are some troubles that nobody else can solve but her."

She nodded. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ηᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Phil was the trouble that Zennie had to get over. She had to do it herself.

"The only thing I can do now is to get people to protect her secretly," Zephyr said with a deep voice. "It seems Phil hasn't hurt her physically for now. My men said that she met him a few times, and she'd be stirred every time they met. He hugged him on the street last time, and our men almost took action."

Cordelia was stunned. Her heart was racing.

"I'm guessing... she went looking for a therapist. She's seeking comfort after being manipulated by Phil, right?"

"Hmm, that's right." He looked at her. "Cordelia, do you think I'm... cold-blooded?"

Cordelia paused and said honestly, "Hubby, if I were you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be as calm as you are."

"I bugged her backpack, and there's also a tracker in there. These are enough to collect Phil's crime evidence!" He clutched his fists and enunciated. "I'll get him to pay back 1,000 times for how he hurt my sister!"

Chapter 627

Cordelia hugged Zephyr, leaning her head on his chest.

When she heard his powerful heartbeat, it brought her security and warmth.

"Hubby, does she know that you bugged her backpack?"

"No," Zephyr said. "She can't find out."

"Hubby..." Cordelia smiled. "Seems like great minds think alike!"

"What?"

She smiled in silence. She turned around to grab a small item that was like a USB drive from her bag and connected it to her computer.

Zephyr was stunned. "What's this?"

"It's similar to your secret listening device." She turned her head to look at him. "But it's a special communication device from the Southeast Aciatic's military. It can see her phone's content. "I've used this since earlier. Let's wait for a little bit. We should get news soon. Hmm... We should get something tomorrow morning if we don't get anything tonight."

Zephyr did not focus on the last sentence. His thoughts stopped when he heard "Southeast Aciatic's military"...

They said even the aristocrats would have to respect the Irwins, but he never thought they were connected with the military.

If that were the case... If the Irwins' princess was upset, the entire Southeast Aciatic's military would be upset too!?

He secretly gulped.

When they got married in that terrible house, he would never have thought that the person who replaced his bride was not a weak rabbit...

She was a powerful queen!

So, he was really the queen's man now.

"I'm talking to you, hubby. Did you hear me?"

"Oh..." He snapped back to his senses and chuckled. "I hear you!"

"Grandpa is right. You've been zoning out a lot!"

"Really?" He straightened his body and played with her hair. He could not hide his love for her in his smile.

"Oh yeah, when did you get this, wifey?"

"It was Neil who got it for me." She smiled. "Naturally, I had to trade this with something!"

"What benefit did you give him?"

"Trinity's next movie! I told him that no matter who she chose by then, we'll promote him as the male lead."

"Cordelia..." Zephyr smirked. "That's favoritism!"

"Don't you wish for them to be together?"

"But what about Freddy?"

"Well..." Cordelia had not thought that through.

It was Neil who helped Trinity through her hardship.

She had been in love with Fredric for many years, but she got nothing back.

Was an unresponsive love true love?

"Hubby, must you side with your best friend?"

"Of course not!" Zephyr was eager. "I side with your family!"

Cordelia laughed out loud.

"I don't care which side you're on," she said gently. "It's their business. We'll just let the three of them do whatever they want. We can't help anyway, so let's just watch things unfold naturally." "Okay."

"But..." Cordelia grabbed his collar. "You must side with me no matter what it is!"

"Of course!" He smiled gently.

His lady was that possessive. He would forever be hers. Nobody should touch, take, and miss him.

Damn this possessiveness--he loved it!

Zephyr grabbed her waist, and passion filled the air. He was indulging in her fragrance.

He was seduced but tried his best to suppress his feelings. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She was pregnant. He could not do anything to her before everything was stable.

"Wifey..." His voice was rather husky. He stuck his warm lips close to her ear. "It'll be long. I'm suffering..."

Cordelia only realized what he was talking about after a while. She pretended to punch him and criticized him. "You're always thinking about that!"

Zephyr held his head low and said nothing.

Cordelia became soft-hearted. She stuck her blushed cheeks and whispered to him, "The doctor said we can do it three months later..."

"What?"

He was surprised and happy to hear that.

In reality, when he found out that she was pregnant, he looked through the threads in the mother-and-baby forums that he saved and the notes that he took. Not only had he sorted it out, but he would also add the new threads that he found.

He was well-prepared. He was almost half an expert now. However, he had never read anything about "having sex after three months"...

"Are you being serious, wifey?" His voice was shaking a little.

Cordelia flushed and nodded.

"Did you ask the doctor about it?"

She was stunned and rendered speechless.

"You asked that, wifey? Seems like you think about that stuff all the time too!"

"Zephyr!"

Cordelia would feel shy easily. Now that he teased her, she was flushing and punching him.

Zephyr hugged her while smiling, allowing her to punch him.

After fooling around, they heard an alert from her computer just when she was going to check if there were any new emails. A new document had been sent. She quickly checked it.

The document's size was big, and it needed time to be downloaded. Not only that, but she would also need to enter a password to open it.

She picked up her phone to call Neil directly.

"How do you know that I'm free tonight, cousin?" Neil's voice was bright. He sounded like he was in a good mood.

"Didn't the shooting end? You should recharge and make some money by going to some shows."

"Do I look like I lack money?"

Cordelia could not help but chuckle.

She did not have time to chat, so she asked directly, "What's the password to the device you got me?"

"Wow, you got her phone's record?"

"Mm-hmm."

"To be honest, it's rather... terrible to be prying someone's phone."

"Shut up!" Cordelia raised her voice. "Just tell me what's the password!"

"Okay, you don't have to yell at me."

Cordelia smiled. Of course, she had to yell, or else she could not fight men like him.

She managed to get into the document after getting the password.

Zephyr's palms were sweating as he moved the cursor.

His brain went numb when he opened the first folder. He was so shocked that he could not say a word.

"W-What's this!?"

Cordelia inhaled sharply.

Zephyr's face turned grim, and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

Zennie wore a revealing dress in each picture, and they had all been taken at Nicholas' bar and club.

She was posing seductively as if she was trying to show her private parts.

Different men were surrounding her. It was obscene.

Cordelia could see more rage in Zephyr's eyes as they saw more pictures.

"Hubby, I'm sure this isn't her..." She said, "Technology is advanced now. People with ill intentions would edit some girls' pictures to blackmail them." Zephyr paused and nodded.

He knew about Al technology as well. Not only could it change someone's face, but it would imitate their expressions as well.

There were even videos that went viral on the Internet, saying that those were some best actors' new work, but they were just deep fake videos.

Many celebrities had court cases on that.

"Hubby, it was Phil who sent them to Zennie." Cordelia checked the sender's information. It was the number that they found.

He was sly to be contacting her with different numbers every time.

However, it was uncertain whether he was reckless or too confident. He thought people could not determine that the last few numbers were consecutive. Zephyr clenched his fists and frowned.

Not only were there pictures, but there were also conversations between Zennie and Phil.

[Zennie, you'll only find the meaning of life when you're with me.]

[Do you think that doctor is saving you? He's not! Ha, you're going to enroll in a university, right? You won't get in with your terrible grades. It's useless, no matter how many simulation questions you ace! That doctor won't even look at you when you fail to get into the university!]

[Being a Hamerton is the only thing you have. Without that, you're a piece of trash!]

[Zennie, you working with me is the meaning of your life! There's only value for you to keep living when you work for me. Understand?]

"B*stard!" Zephyr slammed the table angrily. He shouted and stood up to open the drawer.

His gun was sitting silently in there. It was loaded and ready to go.

Zephyr removed the safety, looking ferocious. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findηøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Calm down, hubby!" Cordelia pulled him quickly.

She knew that he was not impulsive.

He had learned not to show his emotions since he was young. Even when he was mad, he would hide it.

Otherwise, he would not have bugged Zennie's backpack to collect evidence against Phil.

However, it was a different story for him to see those terrible things with his own eyes.

He had been spoiling his sister since he was young.

However, she was being bullied now!

He felt hurt, as if his heart was sliced.

Cordelia hugged him tight from behind, placing her hands on his waist.

Her warmth calmed him down.

It was not only her warmth-there was the baby's warmth too.

He took a deep breath and only turned around after a while. He held her shoulders softly.

Cordelia looked into his eyes. "Hubby, I understand what you feel. I wanted to kill William when I heard how he hurt my mom.

"Do you remember what you said to me?

"You told me that my hands are clean. I can't dirty my hands for such a person."

Zephyr realized something, and his eyes were soft now.

"It's the same now, hubby." Cordelia held Zephyr's hands. "You don't have to fight Phil. There are many things that we can do to make him pay!" Zephyr smiled and patted her head. She felt warm.

She continued to look at the records on the device. She did not only look at the latest ones, but she looked through the older ones as well.

Zennie had been in love with Phil back then. They would chat for a long time every day.

Almost everything he said was manipulative. It destroyed her confidence, making her fall into fear.

Cordelia was shaking as she looked.

During their recent conversation, he secretly got her to bring drugs to a bar.

"Josiah has shares in that bar," Zephyr said in a deep voice. "When they find drugs in the bar, the Bayers will be dragged into it!"

She was shocked. "So, he did that to harm the Bayers?"

"Yes."

Zephyr looked serious.

Phil had approached Zennie with ulterior motives from the beginning. He had been controlling her to reach his secret goal. Zephyr was reckless.

He had been under the impression Phil was just a gardener. Even if they were to be in a relationship, nothing big would happen.

Now...

"Look at this number, hubby!"

Cordelia happened to notice there was a number that was different from Phil's numbers.

And the number was familiar to her.

She thought about it and checked her phone. There was a folder in her phone that contained all of the contact details of Hamerton Manor's staff. The number belonged to Lukas!

Cordelia scrolled down to see what they talked about.

Lukas did not say much to Zennie. He would only send coordinates every time.

In the last message, he had asked her to wait at the usual place. He would give her something.

They were meeting tomorrow!

Cordelia and Zephyr looked at each other. They thought it was the perfect breakthrough point.

"Let's go with Mr. Welkie tomorrow!" He scoffed. "I'd like to meet this Lukas myself!" "I'll go, Zen."

"No." He was worried about her health. "You're pregnant. You can't be taking risks!"

"But Lukas is meeting Zennie."

She advised, "They must be meeting somewhere secluded. If you show up, he'll see you from far away and run. Even if you catch him, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the truth out of him.

"Let me go," Cordelia looked at him and smiled. "Zennie and I have similar height and size. It'd be hard for him to recognize me from afar if I disguised myself. After he gives me the 'stuff', you'll bring your men to capture him. We'll catch him red-handed. It'll be easy by then!"

Zephyr hesitated. He was worried. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He would really rather just torture Lukas after capturing him. Even if he could not force the truth out of him, he would be able to vent.

However, he did not want Cordelia to be involved.

She had a baby. It was terrible prenatal education.

"Zen, it's critical. We must be cautious and not let our emotions take over."

Cordelia looked weak, but she was strong to her core.

"You said that we shouldn't alert the enemy," she said. "It'll be very helpful if we play Lukas well like a chess piece!

"So, we'll do as I said tomorrow," she said directly. "I'll meet Lukas, and you'll guard with your men close and play by ear!"

Zephyr smiled helplessly. There was nothing he could do about Cordelia. Well, she was the boss now. She had to have the temperament of the matriarch when she was the one running the household now. He took her into his arms and rubbed her back softly.

He said softly, "Promise me, if Lukas finds out who you are and you can't get anything from him, do not fight him..."

"Mm, I'll protect myself."

Zephyr looked at her in full attention. "Find somewhere and hide. Leave everything else to me!"

The next day...

Cordelia made taro boba milk tea and strawberry egg tarts to take them to Gale Bay.

Zennie was cooped up in the room, and the maid told Cordelia that she had not been too happy these days.

"Dr. Stafford's gone to participate in a medical seminar in Jangasas, and Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton are overseas, taking care of the foreign market..."

"So, Zennie has been staying home alone these days?" Cordelia widened her eyes.

"Not exactly," the maid answered honestly. "Ms. Zennie revises in her room most of the time. Sometimes, the cousins come over, and they chat for a bit."

Cordelia nodded.

The Hamertons had a lot of relatives, and Zennie had a number of female cousins around her age. They got along pretty well all this while.

It was just that with so many things happening recently, Zennie might not be in the mood for fun.

Cordelia knocked on the door, and Zennie opened it after a while. She looked haggard, and the deep dark eye circles under her eyes pained Cordelia. "Cordelia!" Zennie forced a smile. "What brings you here?"

"Haven't seen you in days, so I'm here to check if you're studying hard." Cordelia put up a cheery act. "I'm also here to send some exam candidate specials!" Zennie's eyes did not light up as usual when she saw what was in Cordelia's hands. She was only delighted for a moment before her gaze went dim. "Why? You don't like them?" Cordelia put the bag on the table and took out the milk tea and egg tarts. She also pulled out a small bag of cranberry cookies. "The milk tea's warm. Have it before it cools down." Cordelia chuckled. "Keep these cranberry cookies on the table. You can have them if you get hungry revising!" "Thank you..."

Zennie kept her head down. As she held the milk tea and felt the warmth going to her heart from her palms, she had the impulse to tell Cordelia everything at that moment. "Cordelia, I-" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰind_ηovel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What is it?"

Cordelia looked into her eyes as if she could read her mind. She tucked her long hair behind her ear. "Zennie, is there something you want to tell me?"

Zennie bit her lips.

"The pressure's a bit much because of the exams recently, huh? It's alright. Your grades are good enough. Your brother and I think that it's no problem for you to get into the University of Centrolis. "Of course, you have the family's full support if you want to study overseas."

Cordelia's gaze was complicated. "Zennie, it's actually good to change up the environment. What do you think about Chaiseland? You can go to the school your brother went to." "Cordelia..." Zennie was hesitant to speak.

Cordelia looked at her encouragingly, and everything was on the verge of being spilled.

However, Zennie lowered her head ultimately after staring at her. She hastily took the straw and gulped down the milk tea.

Cordelia kept her eyes on Zennie, personally watching her drink the taro boba milk tea.

"Cordelia, it tastes exactly like last time!" Zennie pretended like nothing had happened and forced a smile.

"Oh, glad that you like it." Cordelia looked at her. "Try the egg tarts. See if they taste the same too?"
