Zephyr had his guesses. However, he dared not tell Cordelia without solid evidence.
“Don’t worry. I’m here.” He comforted her while holding her. They left.
She was still upset when they arrived at Royal Manor in the evening. Yelena’s devastating screams echoed in her
ears.
“Don’t worry, wifey.” Zephyr served her a bowl of soup that Aunt Helen had cooked earlier. “I actually think this is
good.”
“What?”
“She is clearly on drugs to be behaving like that,” Zephyr said in his deep voice. “Perhaps we can use this to find out
what Yale is secretly doing.”
Cordelia was stunned. It made sense. Now that Yelena was completely under Yale’s control, even if she was really
on drugs, it was Yale who gave them to her.
She recalled that Yale had invited her to the party that time and Yelena had attended instead… She could not help

Now that she thought about it, it was Yelena who had taken the fall for her.
However, even though that was the case, she was the one who had inflicted that on herself. She did not deserve
sympathy.
Cordelia bit her lips and lowered her head. The soup was still warm. It calmed her down significantly.
When Cordelia felt better a while later, she went to the study to do the accounts after eating some food.
Zephyr smiled and closed the door for her. He got Aunt Helen to check on Cordelia from time to time and served
her some snacks.
“Are you going out, sir?”
“Mm-hmm, I have an errand,” he said softly, “But I won’t be late. I’ll be home before she’s done with the accounts.”
He left after putting on a jacket and ordered Robert to watch the house even closer.
Soon, Zephyr arrived at the bar that he frequented with Josiah.
However, they were not drinking this time, but he was getting some important information.
It was just that…
The information had yet to come.
Zephyr lay on the couch, feeling bored. He would check his watch every now and then.
When Zephyr lifted his hand, Nicholas saw the cigarette packet in his pocket. His eyes widened, and he went
forward to take it.
Zephyr did not see that coming. Fortunately, he was so agile that he did not suffer a big loss.
Nevertheless, Nicholas had snatched two cigarettes.
“Wow!” Nicholas called out to him as if he had found out something new as he smoked. “This is a good cigarette!
Seems like you got yourself some money?”
Zephyr glared at him and said nothing.
He had less allowance now, so what money was he talking about? He made money himself by working hard every
day!
Nicholas got closer. “Hey, do you have a secret of making money? Tell me now. I’m dying…”

“Hey…” Nicholas was pissed. “You’re terrible! We should share good things. Why are you so petty?”
Zephyr gnashed his teeth. “Why share? It’s my hard-earned money!”
Nicholas pursed his lips and shut his mouth.
He then tried to cover his laugh.
“What hard-earned money? Where did you get it?” Nicholas gloated. “I didn’t expect this, Zen. The high and mighty
heir is doing something lowly in exchange for a little bit of allowance now?”
“Get out!”
Zephyr stretched his arm and put Nicholas’ hands on his back, and the latter struggled. They were having fun.
Josiah, who was sitting aside, looked at them, thinking they were ridiculous. He released a long sigh before asking
Fredric, “Hey, are all men like that after they get married?”
The latter did not have the mood to chat with him. He stared at his phone and went along. “Like what?”
“Like these two fools!”
Fredric could not help but smile. “Won’t you find out if you get married yourself?”
