Chapter 46


    Marcus had a slight change of expression.


    Robert, next to him, signaled him to look outside.


    He saw his littledy through the car window, standing in the middle of the street, stunned.


    Pedestrians were passing her by. Thendmark building behind her was the Hamerton Group’s


    headquarters.


    Cordelia stuck her phone against her ear, patiently waiting for his reply.


    He sighed and said softly, smiling. “I… stirred trouble in Centrolis before, so I was there for some


    time.”


    Cordelia paused and then changed the subject instantly.


    Robert had been watching. He had no idea what Marcus was talking about on the phone, but he


    was smiling happily.


    He had never seen him looking so gentle before.


    He only asked quietly after Marcus hung up while seeing Cordelia and her colleague walking far


    away, “Sir, should we clear the ces you mentioned to Ms. Jenner?”


    “No need. Let her be at her ease.” Marcus regained his usual coldness. “Send more people to


    protect her for the next few days. Be discreet. I don’t want her to know.”


    “Okay, got it.”


    “Also…” He squinted. “Unless I’m there, stop anyone from the Hamertons from getting close to her!”


    At the Hamerton Manor located on Splendor Mountain on the south of Centrolis…


    It was built along the mountain. Its magnificence and sophistication made it look like an independent


    kingdom. As the head of the four families, the Hamertons predominated close to half of the


    country’s economy.


    Zephyr Hamerton walked down the stairs slowly. The massive living room was lively before. It fell


    silent suddenly.


    The neat suit he woreplemented his tall and muscr body perfectly. His chiseled face filled


    with resolution. His deep and cold eyes put a guard up against him and the world.


    He nced through those fawning faces lightly and nodded to show courtesy. He said nothing as he


    got his men to get rid of those people.


    Since the two days he returned to Centrolis, visitors did not stoping.


    Rumor had it that Zephyr Hamerton had been burned into dust during the air crash. Infightings were


    roaring among the Hamertons, and everyone was coveting the heir’s position.


    However, not only did Zephyr survive, but he also came back.


    Be it the Hamertons or the other families, those idiots wanted to find out the truth themselves, to


    see what exactly happened.


    “Master.” Robert walked to him and whispered, “Your second uncle sent his men here many times.”


    Zephyr suddenly clenched his fists that were on the sides of his body.


    Before the news of his death spread to the Hamertons in Centrolis, his second uncle, Matthew


    Hamerton, was the one who had been worked up the most. It was said that he would pray to God


    every day, eager to show the world how much he loved his nephew.


    However, the more guilty a person was, the more they wanted to prove themselves.


    Zephyr knew that Matthew had been putting on a show for his grandfather.


    “He even held a wee dinner for you tomorrow night at the Splendor Dynasty.” Robert chuckled.


    “They’re spreading the news that the Hamertons are using the dinner for a wife search for you. So


    not only thedies from Centrolis will be there tomorrow, but many will alsoe from other


    ces.”


    “Hah. My second uncle is putting so much effort into my marriage.” Zephyr scoffed. “I believe he has


    been picking girlfriends for me since I was in university?”


    Matthew had introduced over ten women to Zephyr throughout the years. Each of them had been


    under his uncle’s orders, but Zephyr had seen through all of them. He had mercilessly chased them


    out of Centrolis.


    He wondered what game he would y at the setup dinner tomorrow.


    “Are Josiah and Fredric back?” Zephyr yed with the nts on the balcony in a rxed manner.


    “They are.” Robert nodded. “They’ll be at the dinner tomorrow.”


    “Okay, ask them to watch out, especially Josiah. Don’t let him drink too much. He spews nonsense


    whenever he does that.”


    Zephyr went upstairs when he was done.


    He suddenly felt the stairs were extremely long as if he could not get to the end no matter what.


    He felt tired as he made his way to his room. Heid his hand on his forehead as hey on the bed.


    He was missing the tiny ce he rented in Jangasas.


    There was also the fragrance of flowers on the balcony. They were irises Cordelia had nted


    herself. She loved basking in the sun on the chair. She had a dazzling smile when sunlight hit her


    face.


    Zephyr got up to the cloakroom, took a belt, and caressed it for a long time.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    It was the belt that Cordelia had gotten him.


    She had only had $400 in her ount back then and transferred him the money without hesitation


    since he said he liked the belt. She even eased the situation, saying, “A wife should buy her


    husband belts. It’s to bind you to me!


    “We must get a good one since we’re spending the money. It’s durable, so we’ll be bound forever!”


    He smirked in sweetness.


    There were many branded belts in his cloakroom. He never cared for those things.


    However, he could never wear this belt. It would pain him even if there was the slightest scratch on


    it.


    Zephyr took a deep breath in as he quickly changed into the T-shirt and jeans he wore when he


    came from Jangasas. He finally felt normal as he looked into the mirror.


    That was Marcus—the Marcus that belonged to Cordelia only.
