“I think you should just take her back to Centrolis with you. At least your dad and I are in the Hamertons. We won’t let Cordelia suffer any loss or disadvantage.”
“Thanks, Aunt Cloud.” Zephyr forced a smile. “I’m afraid she’ll hate me more if I do that.”
“Have you caught Marcus?”
“No,” Zephyr answered in a low tone. “The guy who took him away is sly and familiar with Jangasas’ suburbs, especially the junctions around the riverside. He covered his face once he got close to places with surveillance cameras. The car doesn’t have a registration plate either, so it’s hard to investigate it.”
“Let me know if you need my help,” Kate consoled him.
Zephyr looked at her gratefully and nodded. He then asked casually, “When are you and Zennie going back?”
“These two days, I think. It’s time Zennie focuses and prepares for her university application!”
As soon as Kate said that, Zennie bounced in, opening the door. She quickly asked about Cordelia when she saw that her brother was there.
In spite of it, Zephyr’s attention was on the person behind her.
“Mr. Zephyr.”
Zephyr watched him closely. “You are…”
“I’m Phil Nelson. You probably don’t know me, sir.”
‘So, he is Phil Nelson.’ Zephyr felt a little unsettled.
The young man looked around 20 years old but exuded a jarring aura of maturity and composure. He had a refreshing and handsome face, but his eyes had an inexplicable sinister tint.
Phil saw that Zephyr’s cup was empty and took the initiative to refill it for him. The moment the young man bowed to pour tea, the surveillance recordings that Zephyr had looked into previously flashed in his mind!
They could not clearly see the driver’s face, but half of the face exposed under the cap was thin and pale like his.
