Josiah frowned and asked worriedly, “Yale trusts you? Why? He knows that you’re friends with Z…”
“Because he thinks highly of himself!” Nicholas slapped his head. “Don’t you forget that I used to work with Yale!
That fella is arrogant. He thinks everyone in the world is an idiot, and he’s the only smart one!
“He thought he could use Michelle to convince Fredric. He must be thinking that he’s smart to be doing that!
“It’s easy to handle such a person!”
Zephyr nodded while smiling. “That’s right. If he had half of Second Uncle’s wisdom, he wouldn’t end up like this.”
Fredric frowned. “Z, since William is going to steal the set of medicinal formulas, shouldn’t you replace it with a fake

Her back was aching from checking the accounts until midnight the night before. If Zephyr had not begged her to
sleep, she might have been working until morning.
When she woke up, her husband’s lingering warmth and a note were the only things left.
“I’ve left for the office. I’ve asked for a day off for you at Imperial Media. Rest well and wait for me to come home.”

Cordelia to eat.
“Madam, Mr. Z left you a note!”

Cordelia was stunned. She suddenly recalled that a person was locked up at the old house.
Yelena’s voice echoed in her ears again. “Cordelia, you’ll lose everything when dad comes!”
Lose everything?
Although Zephyr kept comforting her, she could not get over that. She kept having a bad feeling.
When William came to Centrolis, he would definitely not let go of her mother.
When he came to stir things up back in Jangasas, he kept asking her mother to give him something…
A thought flashed in her mind. She put down the cutlery and quickly ran to the cabinet.
After some hesitation, she found the box and ran to the room to get the key.
Her heart was pounding as she was unlocking the box.
“Madam, are you opening the box?” Aunt Helen asked caringly. “Do you need help with that?”

and a creak sounded when she opened it. A subtle medicine fragrance came the moment the box was opened. It
was calming.
She had never known that herbs could be this enchanting.
There was only a stack of documents in the box with the pictures of herbs. Some had ratios written on them, while
others had chemical formulas.
Cordelia’s hands were shaking as she flipped through them. This should be a set of medicinal formulas.
Could this be the thing that William wanted all this time?
