Zephyr grabbed Cordelia’s waist suddenly. They were close to each other.
He did not want to care about anything in the world right now. All he wanted was to go all out with her…
Sensing his warm body and racing heartbeat, she pushed him away.
“Stop it!”
“Wifey…”
“Stop thinking about that stuff before we’re done with the serious matter!”
That… stuff?
Zephyr was stunned. He could only gulp when he saw his woman’s serious face.
“Okay, go on.”
“It’s clear that the person who was at the Night Palace that Uncle Clark talked about must be Marcus!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mm-hmm.” Zephyr nodded. “So he must’ve arrived in Centrolis for some time now. He must be here for Yale.”
Cordelia held her chin while frowning. “I have the feeling that Phil is involved, but I just can’t put my finger on it.”
Zephyr grabbed her shoulders and chuckled.
No matter whether it was Phil or Marcus, he would never let anyone have the chance to hurt her again.
Cordelia lifted her eyes to look at him. “Hubby, what do you think they’re trying to do to get Marcus here?”
“To replace me, of course.” He was sure.
“That’s right!” She smiled. “That’s Yale’s wishful thinking to replace you!”
“So…” Zephyr raised his brows. “What strategy does my wise wife have?”
“I’ve been monitoring the family’s revenue and expenditure.” Cordelia said softly, “Yale lacks money.”
Zephyr played with her hair. It was all her doing.
“Also, your uncle is only left with one subsidiary company, while Yale isn’t a responsible man. The two of them are in
a serious financial crisis.”
“Hmm, so?”
“So, Yale will do everything he can to get money from the headquarters.” Cordelia speculated slowly. “While Marcus
is his strategy! Because he looks like you, it’s hard for outsiders to tell the two of you apart. He’ll get Marcus to
replace you in signing documents, and then he’ll get the company’s money!”
Zephyr could not hide his face of gratitude. He had married such a smart and beautiful wife.
He said with a deep voice, “If I got it right… Yale will make me “disappear”!”
Cordelia revealed a playful expression. “Hubby, instead of letting him make you disappear, why don’t you take the
initiative to make yourself disappear first?”
Zephyr’s eyes lit up.
He could not believe that she had the same idea as he did!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe already had that plan from before—since Yale had gotten Marcus here, he would beat them at their own game.
He would make Yale think that his plot worked, but in reality, he would have all of the control.
However, he was worried about Cordelia.
If he disappeared, wouldn’t she have to face Marcus alone for some time?
No!
“L-Let me think about it,” he said softly.
Cordelia grabbed his arms and shook him. She looked at him with her eyes widened. “There’s no need to think,
hubby! The same thing won’t happen again!”
“Cordelia!”
He wore a complicated expression.
What had happened the last time was traumatizing for her.
Although she was not weak and quickly walked out of the trauma, he could not bear to let her face Marcus–her old
nightmare again.
