Cordelia sounded confident and very much like the missus of the home.
Despite that, Michelle purposely wrapped her arms around Marcus’ neck and looked at her challengingly.
“Mrs. Hamerton, this is Yale Residence, so it’s Mr. Yale’s place, right? How is it right when the Hamertons prioritize
courtesy and manners, but you make such a big fuss coming here with your cousin-in-law held down and teaching
your husband a lesson?”
Cordelia paused before she chuckled. She only knew that Michelle had ulterior motives in the past but had not
thought that she was so stupid!
“Ms. Carmichael, are you sure the person you’re hugging is my husband?”
Michelle froze. She looked at Marcus, but the latter avoided her gaze. She thought it was a normal reaction from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe man. After all, which man would not panic when caught red-handed in their affair? Besides, was Cordelia trying
to say that she would divorce him?
It would be even better in that case. There was a sense of triumph in Michelle’s expression. She got up and stood
before Cordelia proudly. “Mrs. Hamerton, why the trouble? Zephyr’s heart isn’t with you anymore!
“He doesn’t even go back to your home and has been with me all this while!
“I’m the one taking care of him now that he’s injured too. I tend to his every need, but what have you done for him
as his wife?”
Marcus was alarmed and went up to press Michelle’s shoulders.
“Don’t stop me!” Michelle held his arm. “Zephyr, let’s make things clear with Mrs. Hamerton here today! You love
me, right?”
“Are you crazy!?” Marcus could no longer hold himself back.
“Zeph—”
“Michelle Carmichael, piss off!” Marcus kept shoving her away.
Not only did he want her out, but he must figure out something to get himself out of this place too!
Marcus looked around. Cordelia’s people had filled both inside and outside Yale Residence, and she caught even
Yale. Phil was not there to take him either. It would be harder than going to heaven to escape this place!
He looked at Yale, but the latter’s head was lowered like a kicked dog. He regretted it so much now. He should not
have come to Centrolis, should not have gone to Yale, and should not have gotten involved in this mess!
Cordelia crossed her arms with a hint of a smile in her eyes. “Michelle, you best reconfirm if this guy is my
husband!”
“What… What do you mean?”

Cordelia did not answer but pulled out her phone to make a call. When it connected, she greeted softly, “Darling.”
Michelle felt her ears ring. She blanked out like thunder had struck her.
A certain someone’s footsteps rang from the outside shortly, and the bodyguards separated to the sides
respectfully.
As Zephyr walked in, his sculpted face was stern, and his gaze was icy as if it could freeze everything the eyes
raked across.
Marcus stood rooted in horror while Michelle was dumbfounded.
Zephyr made a hand gesture, and the bodyguards went up to pin Marcus down. Michelle let out a cry as she
slumped to the floor.
A few police officers entered and nodded to Zephyr with a smile.
“Mr. Hamerton.”
“You’re here just in time.” Cordelia pointed at Marcus with a straight face. “The one I reported to you is this man
here!”
