Zephyr scoffed, showing a look of disdain.
Cordelia covered her mouth to smile. She was happy.
Xyla was a bright woman. How would she be fooled by what Rowan said? She walked slowly to him, her smile
catching him off-guard. Subsequently, she grabbed his wrist and poked an acupoint…
“Ouch!” Rowan screamed. He lost his image.
“How many more cards do you have?”
“Three more!”
“Give them to me!”
With a simple order, she confiscated his treasury.
She smiled in satisfaction. In the end, she handed the black card to Zephyr.
“Mom, I…” Zephyr hesitated. He was not sure if he should take it!
“It’s okay. It’s from me!” Xyla looked at him with love, and she looked at Cordelia. “My daughter definitely agrees

Cordelia looked playful. “Mom, of course I have no opinion of how you express your love for your son-in-law!”
“Mm-hmm, take it!”
Zephyr took it over in relief and chuckled.
Rowan stood aside like a good boy while carrying Ginger. It pitied him by meowing. It was thinking, ‘Ugh, what bad
luck. My owners are so poor!
‘Will I be able to eat canned croakers?
‘Sigh…’
Cordelia watched her parents walking far away with Ginger. Happiness filled her eyes.
Her father treated her mother well, just like how Zephyr was with her.
She was happy for her mother.
“Wifey, it’s chilly outside. Come in soon.” Zephyr threw a thin sweater on her, urging her to come inside.
Cordelia nodded. She heard the landline ringing as soon as she came in.
It was Robert who called.
“Sir, ma’am, we’ve been following Ms. Zennie lately. Indeed, she has been skipping classes. Also, she’d meet a
mysterious man every time…”
Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart and asked by instinct. “Is it Phil?”
Robert paused. “Should be him.”
“Then capture him quickly!”
“Ma’am, Mr. Z asked us not to do anything yet.”
Cordelia was stunned and turned to look at Zephyr.
The man wore a serious expression. He nodded at her—his eyes were determined.
She instantly understood his intention.
If they alerted Phil now, they might let him escape again.
They would use Zennie to lure the enemies out, capturing all of them.
However, it was just too much for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCordelia looked upset after hanging up the call. She was worried about Zennie.
“Don’t think too much, wifey.” Zephyr hugged her. “I actually want to protect her… But there are things that she’ll
have to face and solve herself.
“There are some troubles that nobody else can solve but her.”
She nodded.
Phil was the trouble that Zennie had to get over. She had to do it herself.
“The only thing I can do now is to get people to protect her secretly,” Zephyr said with a deep voice. “It seems Phil
hasn’t hurt her physically for now. My men said that she met him a few times, and she’d be stirred every time they
met. He hugged him on the street last time, and our men almost took action.”
Cordelia was stunned. Her heart was racing.
“I’m guessing… she went looking for a therapist. She’s seeking comfort after being manipulated by Phil, right?”
“Hmm, that’s right.” He looked at her. “Cordelia, do you think I’m… cold-blooded?”
Cordelia paused and said honestly, “Hubby, if I were you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be as calm as you are.”
“I bugged her backpack, and there’s also a tracker in there. These are enough to collect Phil’s crime evidence!” He
clutched his fists and enunciated. “I’ll get him to pay back 1,000 times for how he hurt my sister!”
