“But sir, I found out that—”
Matthew’s phone rang when Oliver was going to tell him about the emerald ring. His subordinate
brought his phone, so Matthew warned Oliver with his eyes, getting him to shut his mouth immediately.
Matthew got up slowly to pick up the phone. He only returned after a while.
He glared coldly at Oliver when he returned. “Leave.”
“Sir?”
“Zephyr is in Melorian, Chaiseland!” Matthew had used up all of his patience. “He’s going to Ricos
tomorrow, then Puarvis the day after! Where the hell did you get this useless information!?”
He tossed the document about Marcus into the air, and the papers fell like snow.
Oliver was stunned. Subsequently, Matthew’s subordinate showed him a video. The person had his
back facing the camera, but one could see that he was dressed in expensive clothes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe background of the scene was Melorian’s landmark building—the Rylands Square.
“T-That’s impossible!”
“Why is it impossible?” Matthew rolled his eyes at him. “I’d recognize the back of Zephyr’s head even if
it was crushed! Also, he’d feed the pigeons at the Rylands Square whenever he’s free. That’s what he
has done ever since he was young!”
Oliver swallowed what he was going to say. He looked terrible.
Could it be that he really made a mistake? It made sense. There were many people who looked alike in
this world. Also, judging by Zephyr’s taste, how would he marry Cordelia?
However, that ring was just too strange…
“Get your *ss back to Jangasas if that’s all you have for me!” Matthew said in frustration. “Don’t pretend
like I’ve been backing you! Remember, we don’t know each other! The old man is watching me now.
I’m annoyed. I don’t even know how to resolve this sh*tty situation!”
“Roger that.” Oliver held his head low like a good boy.
“Also…” Matthew’s eyes looked grim. He said slowly, after a moment of thought, “Monitor this Marcus.
Report to me if there’s anything at all.”
Oliver nodded and left. Soon, he disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Cordelia’s life improved significantly without Michael and Jesse in the office.
Meanwhile, Karine’s status plummeted without Michael’s good words with the board of directors. The
colleagues who disliked her added fuel to the fire, venting the anger that they had been holding back.
In a recent meeting, the board of directors announced that they had revoked Karine’s supervisor’s
position and got Cordelia to replace her.
She moved into Karine’s old office. She was emotional. She was spacing out while sitting in there
without noticing Annie, who had been knocking. She only snapped back to her senses when the latter

“What are you doing? It’s like you’ve lost your soul!” Annie placed a document in front of her and
chuckled. “Please sign, boss!”
Cordelia smiled and skimmed through it quickly. She then signed her name.
Even since she became a supervisor, many documents came to her every day. She felt the heavy
burden on her shoulders and dared not slack at all.
“I see that you don’t look very good.” Annie looked at her with concern. “Are you exhausted?”
“The workload is rather heavy.” Cordelia chuckled. “I didn’t know this before. Now that I’m in Karine’s
position, I realize it’s not easy being a leader!”
“Of course, it comes with responsibilities! The higher your position, the bigger the responsibility!
Annie whispered, “Oh yeah, Cordelia, don’t take the rumor that has been going around in the office to
heart, okay?”
“What rumor?”
