Zephyr had his guesses. However, he dared not tell Cordelia without solid evidence.
“Don’t worry. I’m here.” He comforted her while holding her. They left.
She was still upset when they arrived at Royal Manor in the evening. Yelena’s devastating screams echoed in her ears.
“Don’t worry, wifey.” Zephyr served her a bowl of soup that Aunt Helen had cooked earlier. “I actually think this is good.”
“What?”
“She is clearly on drugs to be behaving like that,” Zephyr said in his deep voice. “Perhaps we can use this to find out what Yale is secretly doing.”
Cordelia was stunned. It made sense. Now that Yelena was completely under Yale’s control, even if she was really on drugs, it was Yale who gave them to her.
She recalled that Yale had invited her to the party that time and Yelena had attended instead… She could not help but feel chills running down her spine. She was still traumatized.
Now that she thought about it, it was Yelena who had taken the fall for her.
However, even though that was the case, she was the one who had inflicted that on herself. She did not deserve sympathy.
Cordelia bit her lips and lowered her head. The soup was still warm. It calmed her down significantly.
When Cordelia felt better a while later, she went to the study to do the accounts after eating some food.
Zephyr smiled and closed the door for her. He got Aunt Helen to check on Cordelia from time to time and served her some snacks.
“Are you going out, sir?”
“Mm-hmm, I have an errand,” he said softly, “But I won’t be late. I’ll be home before she’s done with the accounts.”
He left after putting on a jacket and ordered Robert to watch the house even closer.
Soon, Zephyr arrived at the bar that he frequented with Josiah.
However, they were not drinking this time, but he was getting some important information.
It was just that…
The information had yet to come.
Nicholas pursed his lips and shut his mouth.
He then tried to cover his laugh.
“What hard-earned money? Where did you get it?” Nicholas gloated. “I didn’t expect this, Zen. The high and mighty heir is doing something lowly in exchange for a little bit of allowance now?”
“Get out!”
Zephyr stretched his arm and put Nicholas’ hands on his back, and the latter struggled. They were having fun.
Josiah, who was sitting aside, looked at them, thinking they were ridiculous. He released a long sigh before asking Fredric, “Hey, are all men like that after they get married?”
The latter did not have the mood to chat with him. He stared at his phone and went along. “Like what?”
“Like these two fools!”
Fredric could not help but smile. “Won’t you find out if you get married yourself?”
