The old man had seemed to be proud and arrogant in the past. Since when had he become so submissive?
“Grandpa.” Cordelia pushed the urge to laugh down and held her husband’s hand gently under the table. “I actually
feel like having sushi too. And unagi-don!”
“Oh…” Liam gave it some thought and shot Clark a look.
Clark nodded. The Ilbon chef perked up and stood straight, taking a deep bow before answering sonorously, “Hai!”
He then went to the kitchen to prepare the food.
Zephyr looked like he was in despair as he slowly exhaled.
The manor felt oppressive. He might as well refuse to eat the next time he came back. His grandfather would not
just watch the heir he had personally trained starve, right? His wife would feel bad for him too and might treat him
better—maybe increase his allowance and give him back the black card…
He decided then and there to do it!

“Mr. Zephyr.” Clark came in with a document. “These are the sponsorship details for the University of Centrolis next
year. See—”
Zephyr was about to take the document when Liam interrupted lightly. “Give it to Cordelia. She calls the shots now!”
“Huh? Grandpa?” Zephyr paused.
“Right, I forgot to tell you.” Liam wiped his mouth with a napkin. “I think Cordelia’s very professional when it comes
to finance management—practical too, much stronger than you! So I decided to not just hand over the family
finances to her. The company finances can be slowly passed over to her as well!”
Zephyr widened his eyes. “Then I—”
“Your ability to make money is still decent.” Liam had done his calculations. “You’ll make money, and Cordelia will
handle the money. Won’t it be great?”
“…Yes, it’ll be pretty good.”
Zephyr grimaced. Thinking of the “commission” he had made after last night’s hard work, he put on a pitiful smile.
Cordelia looked at him playfully and grinned, making him melt right away.
His hand crept up to her slim waist, and he held it lightly.
“Darling,” he said softly. “Can I stop working hard? Take care of me.”
Cordelia smiled without a word and took the document from Clark to go through it.
“Grandpa, I’ve calculated this,” she said softly. “I think the ratio for next year’s sponsorships can be increased. The
sum of classroom buildings and dorms remains the same, but the sum of laboratories should be higher than in the
past years.”
Liam was delightfully surprised. It was exactly what he had thought.
“Why’s that?”
“Engineering and medical labs are places where one can get results. So the teachers and students should have the
best in order for them to do research without worrying.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The research results will definitely be beneficial to Hamerton Group, so consider it a long-term investment.”
“Mm.” Liam nodded in approval. “Let’s do as you say!
“Right, is your younger brother in the University of Centrolis too?”
Cordelia paused and nodded with a soft smile.
“I saw the scholarship name list for this semester earlier. Carter Irwin came in first again,” Liam said with a smile.
“He’s an upcoming talent for sure!”
“Carter works very hard.” Cordelia looked pleased. “And he’s a smart boy, especially when it comes to medicine. It’s
like he understands without needing a teacher.”
“Yes,” Clark said with a smile. “Mr. Irwin’s scholarship is regarding a thesis in medicine too… I think it’s—it’s related
to acupuncture!”
“Acupuncture?” Cordelia froze and felt her heart skip a beat.
Liam instantly eyed Clark to stop him from going on. He then met Zephyr’s eyes, which looked rather solemn.
Cordelia did not know about it yet… but given how smart she was, she would definitely connect the dots.
