Fredric looked troubled sitting in his office after seeing Marcus off.
Zephyr Hamerton was calm, decisive, and vigorous in everything he did. He had always lived like a
cold-blooded animal.
Meanwhile, this Marcus, who forced him to represent Cordelia, did not behave like Mr. Z at all.
As an attorney, Frederic hoped that he would not be so emotional. After all, they would be separated in
the future. How was it possible that the Hamertons of Centrolis would accept Cordelia?
However, as his best friend…
He released a long sigh. In the end, he decided to check the document thoroughly.
He shared the result of his research with Marcus a few days later.
“From what I see, I’m sorry that these documents do not help Cordelia.”
Marcus frowned hard.
“However…” Fredric coughed softly. “We can go from another angle.”
“Go on.”
“The community that Cordelia’s mother is living in used to be a village. It was made into a residential
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtarea after the urban reform.”
Marcus glanced at him. “So?”
“So, this house is a village property,” Fredric explained. “Selling village property is prohibited.”
“So William Jenner is going against the law by selling it?”
Fredric nodded with a smile and gave a thumbs up.
Marcus lifted his brow, and a grim look flashed through his eyes. A smirk appeared at the corner of his
lips after falling into deep thought for a moment.
“Great.” He looked at Fredric. “Let’s start from there!”
“Um…” The latter looked troubled. His style had always been direct and straightforward. He had always
despised the roundabout way of doing things.
Let alone an insignificant case like this. It was like a children’s fight.
“Z, this case isn’t me at all!”
“So what’s you? Transnational litigation and economic cases?” Marcus rolled his eyes at him.
“Mr. Constable, there’s a great saying that goes, anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small
matters cannot be trusted in large ones either!”
Fredric stared at him, dumbfounded.
“If you reject small cases like this now, you’re going to get rusty and won’t get any big cases anymore!”
Fredric was rendered speechless. Marcus was lecturing him. It seemed like he would really do anything
for Cordelia.
Marcus proceeded to ask, “I wonder what’s important to William Jenner?”
Fredric thought about it before answering, “His pride.”
“If the people in his circle find out that he goes against the law, will he still have his pride?”
Fredric forced a smile so hard that his eyes and nose were squeezed together.
“What do you want, Z?”
Marcus raised his brow. “We won’t go to court if we get this old, cunning man to buy a house for
Cordelia.”
“Are you saying you want him to buy a house to shut your mouth?”
Marcus laughed. “That’s right!”

“I’ll leave it to you.” Marcus patted his shoulder. “Remember, the house must be in a good location,
have good ventilation, and be brightly lit. Most importantly, the deed must be in Cordelia’s name. Got
it?”
…
Fredrick was efficient and a master negotiator, so he settled the matter quickly.
It felt like a dream when Cordelia received the deed. She flipped through it over and over again. She
felt as if she was waking up from a dream when she heard William telling her about the house on the
phone flatly.
Her heart was pounding. She asked Marcus to pinch her.
He hugged her while smiling, whispering, “Don’t worry. Your mom and brother have a roof above their
heads now. I guess your dad came to his senses that he didn’t want Yelena to bully you guys.”
Cordelia was stunned.
However, from what she knew about William throughout the years, there was no “coming to his senses”
to him.
“Hubby.” She looked at him with confusion written in her eyes. “I don’t think this is what my dad would
do… Don’t tell me you secretly got someone to do this?”
