Chad suddenly felt chills on his back. When he looked around, there was nothing. The spacious recording studio was
orderly and functioning as usual.
He took a deep breath. He was most probably frightened by Zephyr’s gaze just now.
In a room nearby, however…
“This low-life?” Nicholas crossed his leg, resting against the lambskin couch. He had drunk half of the whisky in his
hand, and there was a smirk on his lips.
Zephyr looked at him. “You know him?”
“Chad Green, right?” Nicholas smiled. “I heard the others mention him before back in Jangasas.”
Zephyr asked, “What kind of person is he?”
“What saint could someone who shoots those kinds of films be?” Nicholas cracked a grin. “It’s said that he often
tricks university girls with his identity as a director. Many art students got tricked and were cheated financially and
sexually.

their grievances.”
“F*ck!” Josiah yelled, “I can’t believe someone so disgusting actually exists! Why didn’t you do away with the evil for
the people back then, Nicholas?”
Nicholas chortled and poured himself more whisky.
“Do you know who invested in his productions?”
Josiah shook his head in puzzlement.
Nicholas’ eyes were on Zephyr when he uttered, “William Jenner!”
Zephyr’s gaze darkened as his fingers tightened around the glass. If Nicholas had not brought this name up, he
would have forgotten it already.
“Does… William Jenner still have some kind of ploy against Cordelia?” Zephyr looked alert. “He didn’t send Chad,
did he?”
“Z, you might’ve thought too much into this.” Frederic smiled at him. “I heard from the law firm in Jangasas that
William Jenner’s been in a few commercial court cases recently, and his company’s barely withstanding. It’s going
to the bank soon.”
Only then did the tension on Zephyr’s face melt off a little.
The other three men exchanged a look and chuckled in unison. Z Hamerton was usually calm and collected, but he
lost his cool once it had something to do with Cordelia.
“Alright, don’t be bothered with William Jenner.” Nicholas patted Zephyr’s shoulder. “Let’s talk about what we’re
doing to Chad.
“I have all sorts of torturing devices ready, and I haven’t used them once since I got to Centrolis!”
“Nicholas, keep yours!” Josiah grinned openly. “Mr. Irwin has a secret weapon. Let him poke Chad with it!”
Frederic winced. “These methods can be saved, actually. It’s better to go with something legal.”
“For example?” Both of them widened their eyes.
Zephyr raised his brows and sneered. “For example… investigate Chad and see what crimes he has committed, or
if there’s any problem with that award-winning work of his!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrederic nodded, understanding instantly and giving instructions to his subordinates to get it done.
Nicholas and Josiah deflated when they were all revved up, only for the matter to take a peaceful ending. Both of
them clinked glasses and gulped down the alcohol.
Zephyr went to the floor-to-ceiling window. He pulled a crack in the blinders and saw Chad sitting and looking
around in boredom at where they were recording. The man’s eyes were glued to female celebrities when he saw
them, and his lecherous look was honestly repulsing.
Zephyr snorted. Once he thought of how Chad had looked at Cordelia just now…
“Nicholas!” he said in a deep voice. “Frederic’s legal tactic is for the outsiders. Once he’s done with the show, I
need you to use your torturing devices!”
Nicholas perked up immediately in excitement.
“Sure thing!” He emptied his glass. “I’ll let my boys know!”
…
When Zephyr returned home that night, he saw that Cordelia had already changed out of the Cece suit and was
dressed in light pink loungewear.
