Josiah frowned and asked worriedly, “Yale trusts you? Why? He knows that you’re friends with Z…”
“Because he thinks highly of himself!” Nicholas slapped his head. “Don’t you forget that I used to work with Yale! That fella is arrogant. He thinks everyone in the world is an idiot, and he’s the only smart one!
“He thought he could use Michelle to convince Fredric. He must be thinking that he’s smart to be doing that!
“It’s easy to handle such a person!”
Zephyr nodded while smiling. “That’s right. If he had half of Second Uncle’s wisdom, he wouldn’t end up like this.”
Fredric frowned. “Z, since William is going to steal the set of medicinal formulas, shouldn’t you replace it with a fake one to deceive him?”
“No need.” Zephyr grinned. “Just ‘work together’ with him. Someone will deal with him by then!”
…
Cordelia was resting at home.
Her back was aching from checking the accounts until midnight the night before. If Zephyr had not begged her to sleep, she might have been working until morning.
When she woke up, her husband’s lingering warmth and a note were the only things left.
“I’ve left for the office. I’ve asked for a day off for you at Imperial Media. Rest well and wait for me to come home.”
She smiled and walked down the stairs after putting on a sweater. Aunt Helen had prepared breakfast, and she got Cordelia to eat.
“Madam, Mr. Z left you a note!”
“Yes, I saw it.”
“Oh yeah, before he left, he said he’d drop by the old house… Not sure what that's for, but he’ll be home soon!”
Cordelia was stunned. She suddenly recalled that a person was locked up at the old house.
Yelena’s voice echoed in her ears again. “Cordelia, you’ll lose everything when dad comes!”
