Cordelia asked Clark to call the family doctor over to give Liam a full check at once, then she went to Yale and said with a smile, “Lead the way, Yale!”
“What?” Yale pretended not to understand.
Cordelia smiled, replying clearly, “To catch the affair red-handed!”
Yale could not refuse. He and Matthew were like the Hamertons’ weeds—everyone could step on them.
The bodyguards kept him pinned as he took Cordelia to Yale Residence.
Michelle was applying some meds to Marcus in the guest room as she pretended to shed a few tears. She wanted to throw herself at him, but the man shouted, “Don’t come over!”
The changed tone shocked Michelle.
The injuries on Marcus throbbed once they were pulled, causing him to hiss.
“Zephyr…” Michelle told him softly, “I’ve spent a couple of days here with you since you got injured!”
“Hmm? Oh…” Marcus thought that she wanted money and waved an impatient hand. “Go to Yale if you want money. I’ve signed plenty of documents. That’ll make him lots of money!”
“What are you talking about?” Michelle was stunned.
Marcus shut up immediately. “Nothing, nothing.”
Michelle’s eyes flitted. “Zephyr, I’ve kept you company. Could you bear to see me stay like this in showbiz?”
Marcus side-eyed her. “Is that not good?”
“Of course not! Those people look down on me…”
“It’s not like you’re a bigshot. It’s normal that they look down on you!”
Before she could, the door was opened with a loud sound.
Both of them jumped in shock.
“I see why you don’t come home now.” Cordelia’s sarcastic voice echoed. “You’re hiding at Yale’s and having the time of your life!”
Marcus and Michelle were astonished.
They saw Cordelia at the door looking like the queen while the man behind him who hung his head and was pinned by the bodyguards was the usually arrogant… Yale?
“W-What’s going on?” Marcus stammered but acted like Zephyr and said, “Cordelia, why are you holding Yale up like this? Come on, let him go!”
“Yale’s done something wrong, so this is how he’s punished.” Cordelia smiled. “How could we let him go before he learns his lesson?”
