Zephyr’s gaze darkened.
Cordelia froze. She vaguely remembered that Phil did hold something in his hand when he came with Zennie the last time.
“Those things are kept in the kitchen, and I’ve never paid them any mind,” Helen sighed. “I wanted to make chicken and Bird’s Nest soup for you today and took them out, but…”
Zephyr’s expression became sharp.
This meant that Phil was absolutely not just a permanent employee! His purpose of approaching Zennie was clear—he wanted to eliminate him and Cordelia through Zennie!
Once something happened to him and Cordelia—and since they were staying in Royal Manor—the Bayers would have to carry the blame.
By then, the Hamertons and the Bayers would be in discord, and they would get into a fight which no one would benefit from…
Cordelia also realized the severity of the issue. “Zephyr, we must inform Aunt Cloud about this!
“I just came from Seth’s. He’s been counseling Zennie all this time, and she isn’t very well mentally. She has light depression!
“This must be Phil’s doing!” Cordelia said angrily, “We must catch this guy back and avenge Zennie!”
Zephyr hugged her and patted her shoulder.
He had never regarded Phil in the past, not expecting him to be this frightening… The targets of the force behind Phil were not just him—they were also Cordelia, Zennie, his parents, Kate, and even the Bayers! Everyone related to him must be a target that force wanted to wipe out!
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.” He looked down at her.
Cordelia shook her head. “I’m not scared. I just want to fight together with you.”
He smiled with an indulging gaze. “I’m your man. It’s enough for me to be on the battlefield alone.
“I’ll protect you, but you have to protect yourself too. It’s only when you’re safe that I won’t have any worries!”
