“What?” Zephyr’s frown was tightly furrowed. He did not know about Phil’s visit to Royal Manor the other day.
Cordelia told him the whole story and said, “I didn’t tell you before this because I thought that it was already
resolved, so there was no need to, and…
“I thought too simple of it.” She was frustrated with herself. “I didn’t expect Phil to hide his motive so deeply!”
“No need to blame yourself.” Zephyr rubbed her shoulder. “Even I didn’t expect Phil to be someone like this.”
“Aunt Helen damaged the phone.” Cordelia looked at him. “I was worried about him having photos of our home in
his phone and that it wouldn’t be safe so Aunt Helen figured out a way and dropped the phone into hot soup.”
Zephyr nodded.
Although the phone was ruined, they might be able to get a glimpse inside if the data could be recovered…
He passed the phone to Robert, who knew what to do with just a glance from him and left immediately.
“Sleep earlier.” Zephyr held Cordelia, telling her with a deep voice that was tinged with warmth, “I’ll visit Zennie

“With how Aunt Cloud is, she’ll never let Phil off the hook,” he said. “We’ll be able to force the person behind Phil
out with Aunt Cloud’s assistance!”
Cordelia looked at him and rested her head against his chest.
“You already have an idea who the person is… right?”
“Mm.” Zephyr chuckled. ‘What a clever woman…’
“Is it your Uncle Matthew and Yale?”
“Maybe.” He rubbed her hair and hugged her close. Her sweet fragrance allowed him a moment of relaxation from
his otherwise tense state.
“Our grudges go a long way,” he said in a low tone. “They make me understand that people can disregard family
ties and everything else to fight for power.”
Cordelia pursed her lips and muttered, “How many assets are in your family waiting to be inherited?”
Zephyr smiled without saying anything.
She then asked, “Are money and power… so important?”
Zephyr looked at her. Her expression when she asked the question was pure and serious. Her beautiful doe eyes
were clear like pools of spring.
He smiled and rubbed her head with a doting gaze, answering her questions.
“My family does have quite some assets. Our status as the head of Centrolis’ four major families isn’t for nothing.
“Let me put it this way…” He thought about it and said, “Do you know the GM of DL Tower, Jerry Wang?”
“Mm, I do!” Cordelia had an impression of the man. When Zephyr took her to DL once, this general manager
cleared up the whole building and welcomed them personally.
“Jerry used to be the Hamertons’ employee.”
“What?” Cordelia widened her eyes.
It was no wonder that the general manager pandered to Zephyr so much when he saw him and Zennie was already

“Actually, the Hamertons will select part of the butlers and helpers to train up each year. Jerry was dutiful and smart
when he was in the manor. He’s also diligent. Thus, he’s one of the people we focused on training.
“These people who are trained are scattered in various fields, and they basically can reach up to senior executive
levels.
“These industries and companies can better serve the Hamertons because they’re there.”
Cordelia sucked in a deep breath and nodded thoughtfully.
In the past, she thought that these rich families were just rich. They had their strategies and planning with a whole
web of connections.
When one said that a certain major family grasped the economy of a whole city, it was not an exaggeration.
“It’s not just the Hamertons.” Zephyr continued. “It’s the same for the Bayers and the Tanners. This is why
marriages must be arranged among the few major families. Such relationships are the most stable.”
‘This is also why he has to marry Nelly…’ Cordelia pouted a little.
