Zephyr frowned, slightly impatient. “When did you turn so slow?”
Robert was rendered speechless.
“I want to buy the island. Understand now?!”
Zephyr bought the island shortly after returning to Centrolis and was ready to develop it.
Everyone in the Hamerton Group thought that he had lost his mind, and Liam was no exception.
That island’s geographical location was the worst among the surrounding islands of Centrolis. It was also the
smallest. Other than the scenery being prettier, it had no commercial value.
The board meeting was bubbling with comments.
“What’s gotten into Mr. Zephyr? He’s gone away and come back with a cuckoo mind!”
“Buying the island’s a loss! What an unfortunate event that the Hamerton Group has a reckless and capricious heir
like this!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSomeone even said, “Does that island have some kind of mysterious power that enchants Mr. Zephyr?”
To all that, Zephyr’s response was simple. “Who said I bought the island for commercialization?”
“What do you mean?” Everyone was astonished.
Zephyr twirled the pen in his hand leisurely and smirked. “I didn’t use a single cent from the Hamerton Group in
buying that island. It’s from my pocket. Even if I develop it, it won’t be opened to the public.
“All of you can stop worrying about it!”
Everyone in the board meeting looked at him with widened, astonished eyes.
Zephyr had always stayed low profile. Buying an island so publicly was no different to them from him being
possessed.
Meanwhile, he did not only buy the island. He actually held a ceremony because of it and unusually invited a lot of
press. The media had caught wind before the ceremony that Zephyr would announce who the big boss behind the
western suburbs’ land was during the event.
“Is there really a hidden boss behind the western suburbs’ land?” The press began to speculate.
“I think it’s a gimmick from the Hamerton Group! After all, Mr. Zephyr got the project. Who else in the Hamertons
can do this better than him?”
“So, this is a publicity stunt from them?”
“Are you dumb? Would the Hamerton Group need that?”
“Well… that’s also true.”
Everyone was even more bewildered.
On the day of the event, Splendor Dynasty was crowded with guests. The Hamertons, specifically Zephyr, rarely
held banquets and events. This caused people to do everything they could to attend this event just to connect to
the Hamertons.
Significant and famous families in Centrolis were there, and the press present were from eligible companies.
The event was big, and Zephyr was there early to socialize.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe black-tailored suit accentuated his manliness. Masculinity oozed from his features, and his movements felt
innately noble.
The socialites there watched him discreetly but did not dare approach him due to his strong and aloof presence.
Nelly was the only one going over with a smile when she saw that he was alone.
“Ms. Jenner didn’t come with you?”
Zephyr glanced at her. “She doesn’t like events with a lot of people.”
“Oh.” Nelly nodded. “She doesn’t seem to fit well with your lifestyle.”
Zephyr did not say anything, but Nelly continued speaking. “Occasions like this are inevitable given your identity and
status. If she can’t adapt, how will she get along with you in the future?
“People say that falling in love is easier than staying together. Heh, Zephyr, I’m not coming in between you two. I’m
just stating a fact… You really should reassess your relationship with her. After all, it’s better to have similar
backgrounds if you’re looking to get married.”
“Mm, right.” Zephyr smiled. “I should seriously consider my relationship with her.”
Nelly was stunned.
Zephyr continued. “I should consider that since she doesn’t like where it’s crowded, I’ll try not to appear where
there are many people and stay home to keep her company. That’ll work.”
