Chapter 106


    Josiah cleared his throat and tried to switch to another topic. “So… Where were we just now?


    Zennie, what is going on in Centrolis?”


    Zennie looked at her brother and said, “Our uncle has done quite a lot of things recently. He always


    picks fights with dad in the board meetings, and grandpa ignores him! What’s more, he said that you


    stay in Chaisnd because you don’t like our grandpa anymore and you want to leave the


    Hamertons…”


    Josiah let out a scoff and said, “And your grandpa believes him?”


    “He might not believe it if our uncle just said it once or twice, but…” Marcus said sternly, “If he says


    it a thousand times, even a lie will be the truth.”


    The rest of the people fell silent.


    “Other than our uncle, Yale has been doing something as well.” Zennie continued. “Brother, you


    need to be more careful. I heard that Yale has been in touch with people from the underworld. If he


    wants to hurt you, he''ll do it in the simplest and most violent way. Besides, he''s in the dark while


    you''re in the light. You mustn''t let him get what he wants!”


    “Yeah. I know what to do.”


    Yale was Henry’s son, and as people always said, an apple never fell far from its tree.


    Besides, although his father was the eldest son of the Hamertons, he did not have any ir for


    business. In the old man’s words, he was a baby in one''s arms. Not only that, but he had caused a


    lot of problems by marrying another woman after getting his divorce, so the old man did not like him


    very much.


    Therefore, Henry would be in big trouble whenever Matthew said something to his grandfather.


    Marcus squinted and clenched his fists so tightly that veins were bulging.


    “I knew that Henry and his son had been making a lot of money by putting a shell corporation on the


    market,” he said, his gaze sharp. “But don’t let anyone know about this first. If he dares to do


    something, we can use it as our tool against them!”


    Zennie nodded. “Okay.”


    “When are you going back to Centrolis?”


    “Well…” Zennie let out a mischievous smile and said, “I haven’t even met with my sister-inw yet,


    so how can I go back so soon?”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Marcus grimly said, “Zennie, I trust you know what you should say after you return, right?”


    “Don’t worry!” Zennie grinned.


    Beforeing here, she had heard from Josiah that Marcus doted on his wife unconditionally. The


    reason he kept his identity hidden was that he was afraid Cordelia could not ept it after she


    found out about his real identity.


    Matthew had introduced a dozen pretty women to Zephyr in the past. They all were very talented


    and pretty, yet they failed to gain his favor.


    None of them had expected Cordelia to win his heart so easily, and it made Zennie even more


    interested in this woman.


    Marcus looked at Josiah. “Oh yeah, Josiah, your family has a lot of business here, so are you


    familiar with the shop lots in Jangasas?”


    Josiah was stunned for a moment before asking with a frown, “Yeah. Are you going to open a shop


    or something, Z?”


    “I want you to help me look for a suitable shop lot. I want it with a ceiling-to-floor window, the


    courtyard must be nted with irises, and… it must not be very far from downtown.”


    The remaining three people opened their eyes in shock.


    “Don’t look at me like that.” Marcus nced at them. He rose to his feet and dusted his shirt while


    walking toward the door. As he walked, he said, “In any case, help me look for one. After you find


    one, let me know. I’ll decide if I want it or not.”


    He walked out of the room, leaving the dumbfounded trio behind.


    Marcus looked at his watch, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. It was about time to pick


    up Cordelia from her work.


    This was his daily routine for the past few days. He would show up at her office on time when she


    got off work. After that, they would go home by bus, go to the market together, cook dinner together,


    and catch up on the drama together.


    It was the kind of life he had been dreaming of, but he felt rather unreal, like it would disappear at


    any time.


    As he got down the stairs, his phone rang.


    It was from Yelena.


    “Marcus, we’re having dinner together tonight, so why don’t youe along.


    “It’s fine as well if you don’t want toe, but I’m not sure where Cordelia’s male colleagues will


    send her to. After all, she hasn’t told anyone where she lives, so I hope you won’t get angry at my


    sister if those people send her somewhere else.”
