What was strange was that Marcus seemed to have vanished into thin air. Robert came to Jangasas to secretly deliver the news to him. “Sir, our people have basically flipped Centrolis over, but Marcus can’t be found anywhere.”
Zephyr’s expression was icy cold. How could a living person be gone out of the blue!? Now that he was nowhere to be found, Zephyr had already thought of the worst.
“Continue searching in Centrolis!” He gnashed his teeth. “I suspect that Uncle Matthew’s already found him first. They’ll definitely find someone to ambush me if they want to do something!”
“Sir…” Robert widened his eyes, looking nervous.
“Don’t worry about me,” Zephyr instructed, “Cordelia, though… Get a few reliable men to watch her going to and leaving work. Her safety is your top priority!”
“Got it!”
Zephyr felt chills down his spine all of a sudden after saying that.
Whether it was Matthew, Yale, or other Hamertons considering conspiring, he had never been scared, even if there was a direct confrontation. This time, however, he was scared.
He and Cordelia were out in the open while they were lurking in the shadows. If they could not lay a finger on him, they would certainly target Cordelia.
Zephyr pressed his lips together. His sculpted face was frosty.
“Darling!” Cordelia’s sweet voice sounded from the outside of the cafe.
Robert and Zephyr exchanged a look before he pressed his cap lower and ran out. As Cordelia went past him, she found the person mysterious and wanted to do a double take when Zephyr came out.
“You’re done with work?”
“Mm!” Cordelia retracted her gaze and hooked her arms with him to go into the shop.
There was no customer in the cafe, and it felt empty. It was currently leisure hours after people went off work, so it should be when business was at its peak.
A few jars of coffee beans were sitting neatly in the cabinet at the back, barely lessened. The cakes and desserts in the glass case by the bar had not been sold at all.
