His thought was precisely what Matthew had in mind.
Although Marcus had been secretly trained since he was caught, he could not be compared to Zephyr. Who they were at their core were different. No matter how the man was trained, a mouse could never turn into a tiger.
The plan to let Marcus pretend to be Zephyr and send him to Chaiseland to sign the loan… The one in Chaiseland was Zephyr’s mother! If something happened, Matthew would be in big trouble.
“Does that Marcus really look like Zephyr?” Liam asked him calmly.
Matthew sweated. “Yes… It’s said that the Jenners have a marriage agreement with him. For some reason, though, our Zephyr, who had been recuperating in that village—”
Matthew clamped his mouth straight away. If he went on, the plane crash would inevitably be brought up.
“Anyway… that’s basically the case!” Matthew chuckled. “Dad, it’s a misunderstanding. Maybe Zephyr hasn’t met a naive woman from a small place and is only after the novelty.
“When the woman is wiped out, Zephyr will still be the best heir of the Hamertons! Haha…”
Matthew was genuinely laughing this time.
Wiping Cordelia out would be killing Zephyr! This would be much more efficient and useful than tinkering with the plane. Moreover, he would not be directly blamed for it. Liam hated the woman too!
The more Matthew thought about it, the wiser he thought he was.
He grinned. “Dad, don’t worry. I’ve already found Cordelia’s address. She’s opened up a small cafe with Zephyr in Jangasas.
“I’ll send Marcus over now. You have to keep Zephyr here!”
Liam looked up at him with a smile. “Sure, you’re in charge. Make sure it’s clean!”
“But if Zephyr wants to get to the bottom of it…” Matthew had to watch out for the family’s overlord. After all, he did not want his grave on Splendor Mountain.
“I’ll handle him if that happens!” replied Liam.
That was all Matthew was waiting for. He left, chuckling after that.
