More and more comments poured in.
Within two minutes of Michelle’s post, the post was trending. Within five minutes, the topic “Mr. Z is suspected to be
having an affair with a celebrity” was trending.
Michelle felt the fame again.
From an unknown celebrity who was going to be kicked out of the industry to a trending artist with a leap, she was
now the person who was discussed by the netizens.
Naturally, it was the man next to her who deserved the credit.
Michelle lay next to Marcus and watched him quietly. She was filled with burning desire. She inched closer, pecked
his forehead, and secretly took over his phone, attempting to send those photos to Cordelia.
However, she was shocked to find that Cordelia’s number was not on his contact list!
She felt a squeeze in her heart. There was doubt on her face.
‘What…
‘Zephyr did not even save his wife’s number?’
Meanwhile, at Hamerton Manor…
Cordelia was checking the family’s expenditures over the past few months. Robert knocked on the door just when
she was going to drink coffee.
“Mrs. Hamerton, look at this…”
She peeped at the iPad in his hands. The entire Internet was discussing Mr. Z’s steamy affair.
She looked calm as she chuckled. “Hmm, I saw it too.”
“What do we do?” Robert lowered his voice. “He called me. Although he sounded calm,
I could tell that… he’s mad.”
“Yes, I didn’t expect Michelle to do that.” Cordelia scoffed. “She just can’t stay low profile.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe paused. “Robert, use all of our connections to remove the post first and then block Michelle.”
“Okay, got it.”
“It’s been a few minutes since this news came out, but it’s enough.” Cordelia had a plan of her own.
The Internet wouldn’t forget. She would bring this post up by then to slap Michelle in the face.
After making some calls, the news disappeared from the Internet. It was completely cleared without a trace.
Cordelia sat in front of the computer, clicking around the Internet. It was really gone.
She smiled. ‘So, this is the power of capital.’
She must call her husband, who had disappeared tonight, to comfort him.
Robert asked softly, “Mrs. Hamerton, what do we do now?”
She fell deep in thought for a moment. “Marcus has replaced Zen, and he had a scandal with a celebrity. It’s
impossible that the board of directors will just sit and watch. They’ll definitely say something.
“As soon as they voice out their opinions, Yale will take action.
“By then…” Cordelia smirked cunningly. “Let Marcus sign whatever documents he wants!”
Robert was stunned but nodded anyway.
No matter how much Marcus’ signature was similar to Zephyr’s, he could never be him.
When they checked the handwriting, they could void the agreements.
By then, Marcus could be charged with fraud, and he might be able to drag Yale in too.
Robert chuckled. He secretly admired how calm and wise his lady boss was.
It was as if she came from the same mold as Zephyr!
“Oh, that’s right.” She looked at Robert. “How has he been?”
“Don’t worry, he’s good.”
Zephyr had gone to Southeast Aciatic with Rowan and Xyla as their son-in-law.
Given Rowan’s power, they could not find his entry record in Southeast Aciatic. Meanwhile, Cordelia had arranged
beforehand to erase his exit record as well.
That was how he could stay in Southeast Aciatic while Marcus was replacing him.
However, he could not stay there any longer. It had only been two days, but he felt as if it was even longer than two
centuries.
“Mrs. Hamerton, he’s coming back this afternoon.”
“What!?”
“He said he’d rather hide in the wardrobe than stay a second more in Southeast Aciatic!”
Cordelia was stunned and giggled out loud.
“Hmm, got it.” She nodded. “Get people to erase his entry record and send more men to pick him up.”
“Roger that.”
“What else did he say?” Robert tried hard to recall until he finally remembered. “Oh, yeah, he said he’ll give me a
long holiday when he returns! Hehe…”
Robert scratched his head.
In reality, he knew that Zephyr did not want to let him rest. Instead, he wanted him to go far away with Ginger!
Cordelia chuckled and shook her head.
What happened the next few days was as she expected.
Although the post Michelle had uploaded for only a couple of minutes was gone, it stirred a wave. The Hamerton
Group’s board of directors voiced out their opinions, while Yale forced them to approve a few financing documents.
The old men on the board of directors were shocked to find out that the two cousins who were at each other’s neck
were at peace now.
Now only that, but Zephyr seemed to be listening to him now as well!?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZephyr signed the documents without questions. It was useless no matter how they tried to stop the projects from
happening!
Yale was over the moon to have received up to 15,000,000 dollars of funding.
The board of directors went to complain to Cordelia, but she merely smiled and said, “Everyone, Zen is my
husband. Although I’m managing the business now, I still have to listen to him when it comes to major things like
this, right?”
“Are you just allowing him to do nonsense like this? To take the company’s money away?”
Cordelia shrugged and merely said, “Oh well, he’s my husband!”
They left with resentment.
Later on, Marcus signed a couple more documents. He was adapting to becoming Zephyr.
He would pretend to go to work at the Hamerton Group’s office for two hours during the day to sign the documents
that Yale handed him and would rush straight to the five-star hotel after work to do filthy stuff with Michelle.
He was amazing at pretending to be Zephyr, but he forgot one thing—that Cordelia was his wife.
When he was having fun with Michelle, his phone suddenly rang non-stop. Seeing that it was a stranger’s number,
he roared as soon as he picked it up. “Who is it!?”
“It’s me.” It was a soft voice. “I’m Cordelia.”
He was dumbstruck.
“Why are you not talking, Zen?” Her voice was clear. “It’s been days since you last came home. What? You’re
ditching your family because you have someone out there?”
Marcus’ heart was racing, and sweat was dripping on his forehead.
What did she mean?
Was she asking him to go home?
If he went to their home, could he… run away?
