Helen came to a realization after hearing what Cordelia said. She looked at her with surprise.
Cordelia went on to speculate. “Did you notice that Phil would look at Zennie before saying and doing anything? Then she was the one who would speak to us.”
“It seems…” Helen recalled. “He looked at Ms. Hamerton when he took out his phone. She had a change of expression and said that he did not have to use his phone in a panic.”
“What do you think she was feeling?”
“It was… fear?” Helen could not tell.
Cordelia’s heart squeezed. She felt the same.
Zennie seemed to be scared of Phil.
Perhaps this proved one thing—he was actually controlling her!
Helen’s expression suddenly changed.
“Oh my, Ms. Cordelia. Should we tell Mrs. Hamerton right away?”
Cordelia bit her lip and nodded in all seriousness after thinking for a little bit.
However, she did not know how to say it, insinuate it, or how to get Kate to have her guard up against Phil. Everything was so hard.
It would be inappropriate to just say it like that. Nobody would believe her if she did not make it a serious matter. If she made a big thing out of it, what would happen if it was just a misunderstanding?
Cordelia thought about it. She had to find a solution to this.
…
Phil walked in big steps ahead. He looked arrogant.
The young lady followed behind while staggering. He walked fast, so she had to run a little bit. She could not even catch her breath.
“Phil, Phil…” She was worried. “Wait for me!”
He suddenly stopped and turned around when they arrived somewhere that was empty.
She was shocked and froze where she was.
Like a child who had done something wrong, she held her head low sadly while her hands kept rubbing the corner of her shirt.
“Why do you keep following me?” His voice was cold. There was no love in his eyes at all.
It was as if he was different from the person at Royal Manor earlier.
Zennie looked at him, scared. Her voice was soft. “Didn’t you like me following you around in the past?”
Phil scoffed. There was mockery in his eyes.
“Yes, you knew that it was in the past.”
She felt tears rolling in her eyes while there seemed to be something stuck in her throat. It was so uncomfortable that she could not make a sound.
He used to treat her well and spoil her.
She had no idea when he changed.
