Cordelia’s face paled. She lifted his T-shirt immediately to check the wound.

As expected, there was an obvious mark on his back.

“It’s red!” She rubbed it, feeling heartbroken. She then turned around to look at Linda.

“Look, Linda! Nicholas kicked him!”

Never had Nicholas thought his darling, who had been showing off their love with him earlier, was

glaring at him like she was a different person now.

“Hey, why did you do that!?”

Nicholas looked innocent, “Linda, aren’t you going to side with me?”

“Side with you?” She grabbed Cordelia’s shoulder. “My Cordelia is upset now! Go, go buy ointment for

Marcus!”

Nicholas widened his eyes.

‘My Cordelia?

‘She was calling me baby just now!

‘Is she saying that her friend is more important than her man!?

‘So love fades, is it…’

Nicholas stood where he was. He snapped his eyes up, locking eyes with Zephyr, who looked proud.

“Can I trouble Mr. Thompson to buy ointment for me?”

…

At 6:00 a.m., Nicholas bought ointment and even breakfast for them.

He swiftly laid out the cutlery and opened the balcony door. He shoved the ointment to Zephyr and

gnashed his teeth while scoffing.

“I merely kicked you. Look at you being a softy! How dare you get me into trouble?”

Zephyr smiled. “Thanks for your compliment. I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine.”

Nicholas rolled his eyes hard.

That insignificant injury did not need ointment at all, so Zephyr left it aside.

Cordelia and Linda ate breakfast happily while the two men leaned on the balcony railing. They looked

inside, revealing the same smile.

“Hey, I need to talk about something serious with you.” Nicholas looked serious.

Zephyr was stunned. “What’s wrong?”

“Give me a cigarette first.”

Zephyr glared at him.

Nicholas signaled him, asking him to give him a cigarette right now.

Zephyr tutted and unwillingly grabbed the half packet of cigarettes from his pocket. That was the only

packet he had left.

He took one out for Nicholas, then the two of them hid in a corner of the balcony where the ladies could

not see them and lit it quickly.

“What’s with this?” Zephyr frowned. “You can’t even afford cigarettes?”

“Linda has all of my money,” Nicholas answered honestly. “Cigarettes aren’t included in the allowance

she gives me.”

“Oh.” Zephyr nodded. He looked rather sympathetic.

In comparison, Cordelia was so much kinder to him. She never controlled how he spent his money.

She would even buy him stuff.

However, she was stricter when it came to cigarettes.

Which was causing him to survive on this packet for a long time…

Nicholas wanted to ask for another one, but Zephyr slapped his hand away and put the cigarettes back

in his pocket.

“Just spit it out!” he said softly. “Or else they’re going to look for us soon!”

Nicholas felt helpless. He looked at him after taking the last puff. “Yale contacted me two days ago.”

Zephyr’s eyes dimmed.

“There’s nothing else that he wants from me other than asking where you are. Why? Didn’t he get the

news that you’ve returned to Centrolis?”

“I went back secretly,” he said with his deep voice. “Also, I was only there for two days. It makes sense

that he doesn’t know.”

“Hmm.” Nicholas nodded. “I didn’t tell him anything else. I told him that you’re not in Chaiseland, and

I’m still trying to find exactly where you are.”

Zephyr patted his shoulder.

“Also, I found out about something else.”

“What is it?”

“They’re secretly training Marcus to mimic all of your moves. The way you dress, the way you speak,

even some tiny moves and expressions. They got him to copy you.”

Zephyr’s expression changed slightly. He was deep in his thoughts.

He had thought about this since earlier.

They had finally captured Marcus. How could they waste such a useful chess piece?

“Seems like they’re eager to get him to replace you.” Nicholas played with the lighter. “When I told them

you’re not in Chaiseland, Yale had a strange laugh.”

“Second Uncle has been wanting a land in the western outskirts of Centrolis,” Zephyr fell into deep

thought, “But he doesn’t have that much money. It’ll be tough if he wants to go on with the project.

“If he manages to get money from the consortiums in Chaiseland, it’ll be a piece of cake to get that

piece of land.”

“So…” Nicholas raised his eyebrows.

“If I’m right, he wants to get Marcus to sign my name to get money from the consortiums!”

Nicholas came to a realization.

He thought Yale would want to kill Zephyr as soon as he captured Marcus. Therefore, when Zephyr left

Jangasas, he did not want Cordelia to be home alone. That was why he got Linda along to be with her.

Now it seemed like Yale was not so foolish to kill him directly. Instead, he would use Marcus’ face to get

what he could.

Zephyr smiled. “Nicholas, you were a great help to be saying that I wasn’t in Chaiseland!”

Nicholas was a smart man. He got what he meant immediately.

“If the real Zephyr isn’t around, they’ll send the fake one over. After all, it’s all foreigners in the

consortiums. They can’t tell you apart from Marcus!”

Zephyr scoffed. “Then I’ll make their wish come true!”

Nicholas smiled. “When Marcus gets to Chaiseland, he’ll fall into our trap!”

…

The Jenner Group’s board of directors meeting would go on as planned. After stepping into the

building, Cordelia took a deep breath and walked straight into William’s office.

She must speak to him before the meeting began.

William was preparing the meeting materials. He was a little stunned to see her.

She did not call him “dad”. Instead, she said courteously, “President Jenner.”

William frowned.

Cordelia laid out the documents that she was holding before him.

“What’s this?” His face changed.

It was written clearly on these documents that she was returning the shares.

Her signature was at the bottom.

From the moment she found out she was not his daughter by blood, she had made up her mind that

she would cut ties with the Jenners.

“I’m here today to return my shares.” Cordelia enunciated clearly. “Sir, I’m sure you knew that… I’m not

your daughter by blood.”

William looked even more terrible now. His cunning eyes stared at her while complicated emotions

were surging inside of him.

Cordelia’s heart was pounding. Before coming, she thought there would be two possibilities.

One was that William would accept her request to return the shares, and she would cut ties with the

Jenners.

However, the chances of that happening were low.

If he already knew that she was not her daughter, yet he gave her the shares, there must be something

fishy about it. That was what she wanted to find out.

Therefore, returning the shares was just a pretense.

In reality, she wanted to test him, to see what he would say!
