Yale was stunned for a moment before he grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it.
“M-Mr. Yale… don’t be mad!” Oliver gasped and watched him carefully. “If you trust me, give me a few
days. I’ll look into everything!”
Yale’s eyes gleamed sinisterly as he smiled at him.
“So, you’re willing to come under us again?”
“Mr. Matthew’s been benevolent to me. I should repay his favor!”
“Don’t f*cking make it sound so noble!” Yale was despicable, so he knew what another despicable man
thought. “It’s just because you can’t rely on Josiah Bayer and you need the money. That’s why you are
selling the news to me!
“If Josiah had been willing to fill $45,000,000 for you, you’d have let these rot with you, huh?”
Oliver was drenched in a cold sweat.
“But this is good news… At least Zephyr’s not so pristine to my grandfather now.”

the Hamertons!”
“What does the girl look like?” Yale was interested.
Oliver gulped and stuttered, “V-Very pretty.”
“Really? How pretty?” Yale had always been a lecher. It went without saying that someone who could
captivate Zephyr must not look too bad. He suddenly felt an itch. He wondered how Zephyr’s woman
would feel.
Oliver said, “Mr. Yale, the woman’s name is Cordelia Jenner. The Jenners are quite influential in
Jangasas, but Cordelia’s an illegitimate daughter and isn’t really accepted by the family.
“I met Cordelia a few times for business purposes. Not only is she pretty, but she’s an efficient worker
as well. She really isn’t like ordinary girls.”
“That sounds great!” Yale arched a brow and began to fantasize about the name Cordelia.
He eyed his underling, and the latter carried a bag of money over right away.
“Take this to get you out of the emergency first.” Yale chuckled and patted Oliver’s shoulders. “As for
the remaining portion, we’ll see how you work for me!”

Cordelia packed Zephyr’s luggage for him, folding the clothes and saying softly, “Darling, you seem to
have a little too many matches and training camps recently!”
Zephyr froze.
Cordelia was always like this. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she would never complain. Talking
about it softly like this was already how she was venting.
Zephyr could not help smiling. He did not want to leave either, but it was time for a few of his
companies—Donmein Industrial, Lyan Technology, and Weston Investment—to go through the annual
evaluation. He had to go to Centrolis.
He had started these companies in secret. Although he kept a low profile, he had accumulated a
significant fund within these two years. Even Liam had no idea that he already possessed a force

“Darling, do you have any formal occasion during this training camp where you have to socialize?”
Cordelia stood before the closet. “Bring this suit along if you do!”
Zephyr did not answer.
Cordelia continued. “The weather forecast says it will rain in Centrolis the next two days. I put a
foldable umbrella for you on the side of the suitcase.
“Also, it’s transitioning into fall now. It’s chilly in the morning and at night. You need to make sure you’re
tucked in when you sleep, okay? You have the habit of kicking your blanket off!
“Darling, see if you need to take anything else?”
Zephyr approached slowly. Clean underwear, T-shirts, jackets, and all sorts of daily necessities lay
neatly in the suitcase as if her hands had magic. They also smelled like her, a light sweet fragrance.
Zephyr pulled Cordelia over and looked at her quietly with his deep eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like this?” Cordelia chortled.
“Cordelia, I…” Zephyr licked his lips. “I feel happy.”
