“It’s the same now, hubby.” Cordelia held Zephyr’s hands. “You don’t have to fight Phil. There are many things that
we can do to make him pay!”
Zephyr smiled and patted her head. She felt warm.
She continued to look at the records on the device. She did not only look at the latest ones, but she looked through
the older ones as well.
Zennie had been in love with Phil back then. They would chat for a long time every day.
Almost everything he said was manipulative. It destroyed her confidence, making her fall into fear.
Cordelia was shaking as she looked.
During their recent conversation, he secretly got her to bring drugs to a bar.
“Josiah has shares in that bar,” Zephyr said in a deep voice. “When they find drugs in the bar, the Bayers will be
dragged into it!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was shocked. “So, he did that to harm the Bayers?”
“Yes.”
Zephyr looked serious.
Phil had approached Zennie with ulterior motives from the beginning. He had been controlling her to reach his
secret goal.
Zephyr was reckless.
He had been under the impression Phil was just a gardener. Even if they were to be in a relationship, nothing big
would happen.
Now…
“Look at this number, hubby!”
Cordelia happened to notice there was a number that was different from Phil’s numbers.
And the number was familiar to her.
She thought about it and checked her phone. There was a folder in her phone that contained all of the contact
details of Hamerton Manor’s staff.
The number belonged to Lukas!
Cordelia scrolled down to see what they talked about.
Lukas did not say much to Zennie. He would only send coordinates every time.
In the last message, he had asked her to wait at the usual place. He would give her something.
They were meeting tomorrow!
Cordelia and Zephyr looked at each other. They thought it was the perfect breakthrough point.
“Let’s go with Mr. Welkie tomorrow!” He scoffed. “I’d like to meet this Lukas myself!”
“I’ll go, Zen.”
“No.” He was worried about her health. “You’re pregnant. You can’t be taking risks!”
“But Lukas is meeting Zennie.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe advised, “They must be meeting somewhere secluded. If you show up, he’ll see you from far away and run.
Even if you catch him, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get the truth out of him.
“Let me go,” Cordelia looked at him and smiled. “Zennie and I have similar height and size. It’d be hard for him to
recognize me from afar if I disguised myself. After he gives me the ‘stuff’, you’ll bring your men to capture him.
We’ll catch him red-handed. It’ll be easy by then!”
Zephyr hesitated. He was worried.
He would really rather just torture Lukas after capturing him. Even if he could not force the truth out of him, he
would be able to vent.
However, he did not want Cordelia to be involved.
She had a baby. It was terrible prenatal education.
“Zen, it’s critical. We must be cautious and not let our emotions take over.”
Cordelia looked weak, but she was strong to her core.
“You said that we shouldn’t alert the enemy,” she said. “It’ll be very helpful if we play Lukas well like a chess piece!
“So, we’ll do as I said tomorrow,” she said directly. “I’ll meet Lukas, and you’ll guard with your men close and play
by ear!”
