“This… This is…” William turned pale and could not even finish a full sentence.
He stared at Cordelia and Zephyr like he had seen a ghost, who came out of the room, and nearly slumped down as
if life was sucked out of him.
He looked at Fredric in horror and asked shakily, “Mr. Constable, w-what’s going on!?”
Fredric smiled and pulled the recording pen out of his pocket to pass it to Zephyr. He then turned to William and
replied in the tone of a lawyer on duty, “You have the right to remain silent right now. Everything you say will be
presented as evidence in court!”
William’s eyes nearly fell off.
“Well done! You… You worked together to trick me!”
“Trick you? Or because you’re too dumb!?” Cordelia stepped up and stared at him coldly.
She had nearly failed to hold herself up in the small room when she listened to the filthy and abominable things
William had confessed to just now. Zephyr was fortunate to be by her side, and his embrace became her haven. As
she hid there, she could not help trembling.
The culprit of her over 20 years of misfortune was actually this despicable man in front of her! Rowan was not
actually as merciless as she had thought—he still cared about them…
Cordelia had a flurry of emotions, and the complicated feelings rose together with her tears.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“William Jenner…” She took in a deep breath, wanting nothing more than to grind the name with her teeth. “You
sc*m!”
Cordelia was so emotional that she reached for the knife on the table to stab him.
Zephyr caught her wrist speedily and kept her in his arms as much as he could.
“Cordelia, don’t!”
“Let me go!” Cordelia cried, “What he did to my mom, Carter, and me… I’m going to kill him!”
“Cordelia!” Zephyr understood what she felt, but she must not act recklessly at this moment.
“Darling… listen to me. We’ll settle this score with him, but you can’t dirty your hands over someone like this! It’s
not worth it! Do you understand?”
Cordelia bit her lips and sobbed in Zephyr’s arms.
Zephyr’s heart ached for her. His gaze on William was ruthless and vicious as he held Cordelia by the shoulders.
“Fredric…”
“Z, don’t worry. I know what to do!”
Before William could react, Fredric clapped his hand, and a group of men in black instantly surrounded the whole
villa. Each of them had a gun, and William would not be able to escape even if he turned into a fly.
“These are Nicholas’ men.” Fredric smiled. “Nicholas said that he’d vent this grudge for Mrs. Hamerton!”
“You… What do you want!?” William’s legs went limp. He shakily pulled the DNA test result out of his pocket.
“Cordelia, Cordelia, you can’t do this to me! Look at this… I-I’m your father!”
Disgusted, Cordelia turned away so she would not see him.
Zephyr put Cordelia behind him and padded forward. As the sound of the heel of his shoes hitting the marble floor
echoed in the living room, it felt like the funeral bell ringing to William.
Zephyr stood in front of William with an icy gaze and staunch expression, abruptly kicking the latter’s chest.
“Argh!”
William fell to the floor and coughed blood with a hand clutching his chest in pain. He refused to give up, gripping
the DNA test result in his hand tightly.
“You really won’t give up, huh?” Zephyr spat coldly.
Fredric stopped him. “Z, stop kicking him. You might actually kill him.”
Only then did Zephyr stop and return to Cordelia to hold her cold hands.
William’s voice was hoarse as he insisted, “Cordelia, I’m your—”
“You’re a stupid and ignorant liar!” A deep voice sounded all of a sudden.
The door to the other room opened as well, and Liam and Rowan walked out.
In his black suit, Liam held his dragon-headed cane while Rowan looked sinister, like he had just stepped out of hell.
William, who was on the floor, looked at both of them with a gape.
“Heh, you want to trick me with just one fake DNA test?” Liam wore a stern look. “William Jenner, do you think I’m
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmblind or deaf!? You think I don’t know what you and Yale are up to!?”
William was in complete despair as he slumped on the floor like he was crippled.
Liam asked in a deep voice, “Fredric, can what the b*stard said just now be used against him in court?”
“Of course!” Fredric chuckled. “Sir, I’ve recorded it for the exact purpose!”
“Then Mrs. Irwin will get her justice!”
Liam looked at Cordelia fondly and went over to pat her head.
“And you…” He said softly, “I’m getting whatever this man owes you back with interest!”
Zephyr looked at him. “Grandpa, before we settle him with legal procedures, I want to… hand him to dad!”
Rowan was stunned and stared at him.
Zephyr met his eyes and smiled. He knew that the one who hated William the most right now must be Rowan.
Liam thought about it and gave him a pat on the shoulder. “Alright, you decide! But don’t do anything to him here…
“Take William Jenner back to the manor. Don’t dirty your house!”
…
Zephyr did as told.
Swiftly, the bodyguards outside the door took William to Hamerton Manor. The latter was thrown into the damp and
dark basement. He was in so much pain, like all his bones were broken.
In the dark, a set of footsteps approached him.
Rowan gritted his teeth. “William Jenner, it’s time we settle our score!”
