“I already informed Mr. Matthew when you failed to kill Cordelia.” The man turned to face Marcus. “Mr. Matthew’s
the one who gave you this sum of money. He said to keep you as you’ll still be useful!”
The young man suddenly extended a hand to pinch Marcus’ face. He looked as if he was just pulling a trick.
“Hah, I think Mr. Matthew’s plan is great… It’d be a pity if your face were gone!”
Marcus’ hair stood on end. Even when he had spent so long in prison and met gangsters like Nicholas, they were
unlike this guy in front of him who sent chills down his spine.
“Go.” The car was parked at the curb, and the sinister voice was heard in Marcus’ ears. “Heh… You’ll be useful in
the future!”
Marcus opened the car door and fled with the money.
The guy in the car pressed his cap lower, his fair face wearing a smirk.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZephyr had been waiting outside the emergency doors.
The blood on his hands had dried to a dull red color. His hands were intertwined and shaking slightly, but his
expression was icy with a wash of murderous aura in his eyes.
His bodyguards stood behind him in a row, looking serious. The leader went up and said in a lowered tone, “Mr.
Zephyr, the surveillance cameras of each junction are basically pulled up. It’s confirmed that the car went toward
the suburbs.
“But… the driver is sly. And there are a lot of cars without registration plates like this in Jangasas. There’s also
nothing special about the car model, so investigating it is difficult.”
Zephyr was silent and terrifyingly cold.
Linda paced back and forth anxiously. Her hands were balled next to her mouth as she nipped on her nails.
The light above the emergency doors felt like a ball of fire that burned her heart.
Nicholas patted her shoulders and glanced at Zephyr. His intention was to ask her to sit down and wait quietly, but
she asked with a frown, “Is this man really Zephyr Hamerton?”
Nicholas looked at her helplessly and pressed his lips together. Since Linda knew that Cordelia was met with a
mishap, she had asked this question no less than 20 times.
Each time, Nicholas could only patiently explain, “Yes, he’s Zephyr Hamerton, the third heir Mr. Z Hamerton from
Ceontrolis…”
Linda gritted her teeth and growled in a low tone, “Nicholas Thompson, you knew everything!”
“Linda, I—”
“How dare you lie to us with him for so long!?” Linda gave him a shove out of anger.
“Nicholas, aren’t you a good actor? Should I give you an award?”
Nicholas could not do anything and could only let Linda hit and scold him to vent.
“Why didn’t you tell us earlier? Must you wait until something happens to Cordelia? Are you happy now!?”
The more Linda talked, the angrier she grew. After she shoved Nicholas, her flame of fury burned brighter when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe saw Zephyr sitting there in a daze. Her hand went up to give him a slap.
Nicholas rushed to bring her wrist down.
“Let go of me!” Linda growled, “I’m going to kill this sc*m today!”
“Don’t… No, Linda, don’t act recklessly!”
“Let go of me!”
Zephyr’s bodyguards went forward, but no one dared lay a finger on Linda in front of Nicholas.
Linda finally quieted down after venting. She looked at Zephyr coldly and suddenly chortled. “Hah, right, I shouldn’t
be the one slapping you. Cordelia should!”
“Linda!” Nicholas kept eyeing her with an emphasized call of her name.
“What? Should I be afraid of him just because he’s Z Hamerton?” Linda straightened up and pointed at Zephyr with
a huff.
“I’ll have you know… I don’t care if you’re Zephyr Hamerton or Marcus Grist. You’re a sc*m as long as you hurt
Cordelia. You’re my enemy!
“Nicholas!” She turned back to glare at him. “What should you do when someone has a grudge against me?”
