Zephyr’s eyes were dark, and his broad back stiffened slightly. He remained quiet.
The air felt like it was frozen as Liam trained his eyes on him. His tone hardened as he asked again,
“Who is Cordelia Jenner?”
“My wife.”
Liam abruptly raised his hand—the table’s tea set shattered with a clang on the floor!
Zephyr tightened his fists, veins popping on the back of his hands.
Liam asked sternly, “When did you get married? When did this woman come about?
“If I didn’t stop this statement, were you planning to give half of the Hamertons’ assets away?!”
The butler and servants dared not even breathe any louder when they heard the noise inside. Even
Robert was stunned.
Liam had always been calm and composed. There were rarely times that he was so worked up. Today,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthowever, the grandfather and grandson were like two lions confronting each other. Forget going closer.
Just hearing their voices was unnerving.
“Are you giving half of your assets, shares, funds, including your overseas property and cash, all to that
woman?”
Liam said coldly, “Zephyr, what are you thinking!?”
Zephyr licked his lips. His gaze was cool and determined. “Not half… All.”
“What did you say?”
“The statement says half now because she isn’t my wife yet. When she truly becomes my wife,
everything that’s mine will be hers.”
Liam’s gaze was frosty as he furrowed his brows staring at Zephyr. “So, you haven’t gotten married
yet?”
Zephyr gnashed his teeth while Liam breathed out in relief.
Liam knew that Zephyr had been recuperating in Jangasas after the plane crash. Perhaps he got to
know that woman during that time. Once one got hurt, it was when their will would be the weakest, and
it would be the easiest for others to take advantage of the situation.
“It’s best that you’re not married,” said Liam. “Women like this aren’t reliable. She has only approached
you because of your identity and status. You best keep yourself clear-headed and don’t fall for her
tricks!”
Zephyr’s tone was low. “Grandpa, she doesn’t know who I am.”
“That’s better!”
Liam rested his hands on his back and strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window.
“Part with her now. You won’t suffer any loss. If this Cordelia Jenner clings to you, give her some
compensation. Ask her to name a price!”
“Grandpa!” Zephyr gripped his fists, stabbing his nails into his palms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe met Liam’s eyes and spoke each word determinedly. “I’m back this time, to be honest with you. I
won’t part with Cordelia. I just want her in this lifetime!”
“Zephyr Hamerton!” Liam was enraged. “Do you know what you’re saying?”
“Grandpa, I’m clear-headed.”
“You…”
Liam raised his hand, but it paused in the air. It ultimately did not land.
This was the grandson he raised—the heir he was proud of. He had lost his mind over a woman!
He said shakily, “Zephyr, are you going to let me down?”
Zephyr took a deep breath. He was inwardly torn as well. Finally, he slowly looked up and met Liam’s
sharp gaze.
Liam planned to take a step back. He said after a while, “If you like this woman, bring her here.”
Zephyr frowned, unable to believe his ears.
