“Um…” William hesitated. After all, he wanted to get it over with and leave as soon as he could. This was not a
place to linger.
However, Fredric held him by the shoulders and asked him to sit on the couch. He also retrieved a full set of quality
tea from the kitchen.
A while later, the tea aroma drifted into the room and smelled reinvigorating.
“This is a kind of black tea that the Hamerton Group always purchases. It’s expensive because production isn’t
much each year. Other than supplying to the Hamerton Group, only certain royal members get to drink it in the
world.”
Fredric observed William’s expression in secret. He knew it. Someone who was greedy in nature would not give up
on any benefit, even when they were at risk.
Just like the tea before them.

like he was a thief.
Fredric scoffed. Birds of a feather seemed to flock together. William was acting like Marcus now that he had spent
so long with the latter.
Fredric chuckled. “Mr. Jenner, saw anything you like?”
“N-No.”
“It’s not easy to come here. What’s the point of you leaving with only a box?” Fredric asked purposely. “I heard Mr.
Yale say that even if the box is brought back and turned into cash, you’ll get 20% of profit at most!”
“What?” William froze. “He… He really said that?”
Fredric tugged his tie leisurely and smirked. “We’re all on the same boat. There’s no need for me to lie to you.”
Confusion clouded William’s eyes as he clenched his fists.
Fredric said in a hushed voice, “Right, Mr. Jenner, you don’t know where Yelena’s at, right? Yale’s locked her up in
the ranch behind the manor!”
“The…” William’s eyes bulged before he spat harshly after a moment, “The useless girl!”
Fredric was taken aback and squinted at the man.
As a father, one’s first reaction should be wanting justice for his daughter when he heard about his daughter being
mistreated. However, William was blaming Yelena for being useless.
It was no wonder that Yelena would grow into the arrogant and empty airbag she was. It would be odd if Yelena
behaved normally when she grew up in a family with an abnormal father like this!
It seemed that Cordelia was pretty lucky. At least she did not stay by William’s side growing up.
Fredric put a hand in his suit jacket’s pocket and felt for his recording pen.
William’s frown was tightly knitted as he spoke to himself. “Looks like I’ll have to depend on Cordelia… Hah, Xyla’s a
good teacher. The daughter she has taught bewitches men easily! Mr. Zephyr’s completely enthralled by her!”
“Depend on Cordelia?” Fredric raised a brow. “But she’s not your birth daughter.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“How is she not?” William brandished the DNA test result. “Look. Didn’t you get someone to forge this?”
Fredric pretended to go over for a look and asked him with emphasis, “Forged?”
“Yeah, you forged it!” William rolled his eyes and kept the document carefully. “Did you forget what you made?”
“Oh, I remember!” Fredric smiled. “Yeah, I did get someone to forge it.
“Mr. Jenner, you know that the test result’s fake. What if someone exposes—”
“No!” William waved a hand. “I’m not showing this to Elder Mr. Hamerton. I’m only showing it to Zephyr and
Cordelia. It’s enough!”
“What are you going to do?”
William smiled without saying anything.
Fredric tried to lead him into saying more. “Are you going to threaten the two of them with this?”
William coughed. “This isn’t as valuable as the set of medicinal formulas, but I believe that Zephyr wouldn’t want it
in front of his grandfather! Elder Mr. Hamerton emphasizes one’s birth. Cordelia can marry into the Hamertons
because she’s Rowan Irwin’s daughter…
“But what will Elder Mr. Hamerton think when he sees this?” William’s smirk was vicious. “It wasn’t easy for Zephyr
to marry Cordelia. Will he give up so easily? Hah, so I believe he’ll give me a good amount of hush money for his
wife!”
