“N-No… Grandpa…”
Yale’s originally pale face went even paler. He looked at Cordelia with a vicious gleam in his eyes.
Cordelia smirked. “Yale, what you said just now was more than clear. Grandpa has heard it himself. If you argue
now, are you saying that there’s something wrong with grandpa’s ears, and he can’t even understand you?
“Or…” Cordelia arched a brow and stared back at him equally ruthlessly. “Or what you said isn’t human at all, so
others can’t understand?”
“You little b*tch!”
Yale looked savage as he raised a fist and pounced at Cordelia.
Liam coughed, prompting the bodyguards behind him to step forward and pin Yale down.

The old man was aged, but his authoritative presence made sure that everyone did not dare act out of line in front
of him.
Yale did not dare utter another word, not that he could. The bodyguards had locked both his arms behind his back,
and he was hissing in pain.
“Take him back to the manor!” Liam said icily, “Ask Matthew over as well. I want to question these two savages
myself!”
The bodyguards responded affirmatively and took Yale out of imperial Media.
Cordelia followed behind and quietly sent Zephyr a text. She held the phone with a small smile after that.
Liam cared the most about the Hamertons’ reputation. Now that Matthew and Yale had conspired right under his
nose and against the heir he prioritized, it humiliated him and the Hamertons!
Therefore, Liam would never let the father and son go easily this time.
…
Shortly, the bodyguards took Yale to the manor’s study room.
Matthew had long received the news and was waiting nervously at the door. When he saw his father walking over
briskly, he went up with an incredibly forced, ingratiating smile. The moment he met Liam’s stern gaze, he pulled a
long face and feigned innocence.
Liam sat on the couch after entering the study. The expensive Nanmu wood and his strong sense of presence
bounced off each other.
“Cordelia.” He gestured with his gaze. “Have a seat.”

Cordelia sat on the couch next to him.
This made Yale look even more like a criminal.
Matthew could not hold himself back. He looked at Liam, then at Cordelia, the rage simmering in him crackling to
life.
Why? His father sat down without fault, but how dare a junior like Cordelia act superior before him!?
Despite that, Matthew swallowed it all down. After all, he dared not provoke her with her current status.
The current priority was to wash the crime off himself and Yale.
“Dad…” Matthew was quick to argue. “Dad, you know me. I’ve always loved Zephyr! And I see the Hamerton
children like my own…”
“Hah, is that so?”
Liam snickered. His gaze on him was no longer one of father and son.
Even when a lie was repeated a thousand times, it was still a lie. It would never become the truth.
Matthew broke out in a cold sweat as his eyes kept flitting around.
“Dad!”
