Chapter 247


    Everyone had their eyes on Zephyr as soon as he showed up.


    Liam’s cold and strict face finally eased a little bit.


    “You’re back?”


    Zephyr nodded. “Yes, grandpa.”


    Liam raised his chin, signaling him to sit. However, Zephyr walked slowly to the middle of the


    meeting room. He stood there and nced through everyone coldly. The powerful aura he exuded


    was almost suffocating.


    Matthew looked at him, stunned. The corner of his lips twitched as he forced a smile.


    “You’re back, Zen?”


    “Seems like you don’t want me here, uncle?” Zephyr smirked.


    “What! I just—”


    “You’re just worried that I’d steal my cousin’s and your thunder, right!”


    Matthew’s face turned pale from the rage. He stared at him fixedly.


    Zephyr walked over calmly, looked at his seat, and chuckled. “I think you’re in the wrong seat. This


    is mine.”


    “You…”


    “Although I’mcking in gathering funds, you don’t have to worry about that, uncle.” Zephyr’s eyes


    were deep as he enunciated each word. “I’ve solved it!”


    Matthew was in disbelief. Apart from relying on his grandfather, what could he have done to gather


    the astronomical sum!?


    Meanwhile, it was Liam’s biggest taboo to get outsiders to interfere with their family matters.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Matthew smiled. He found the perfect opportunity to instigate the grandfather and grandson.


    “Hah, you used the money from Chaisnd again? Zen, it’s not that I want to lecture you. No matter


    what, you’re a Hamerton. No matter what you do, you’ll have to think of the Hamertons’ interests!


    “Although he’s your grandfather, he’s still an outsider. He shouldn’t be interfering with our family


    matters, right? The Hamertons are borrowing money from an outsider? How would the Hamertons’


    reputation be if this were to spread?”


    Zephyr had one hand in his pocket while calmly ying with his cor. There was disdain in his cold


    eyes.


    “Are you worried that my grandfather will get a cut from the project, uncle?”


    “I didn’t say that! But we have to have our guard up. Who in the world wouldin about having


    too much money…”


    Liam was looking more and more terrible. Matthew secretly smiled as he continued to stir things up.


    “Dad, I don’t object to what Zen is doing. It’s just that thend is a governmental project. I’m afraid


    we can’t exin ourselves if we bring in an external investor!


    “Also, Yale has connections with the officials!” Matthew had a big smile on his face. “It’s the right


    choice to give Yale and me thend in the western suburb!”


    The directors began to discuss this among themselves. They were siding with Matthew.


    Zephyr remained calm. There was a subtle, cold smile on his chiseled face.


    The old man said in a deep voice, “The project requires a rather big fund and the interests of many.


    We’ll have to be careful. I can’t assign it to one person.


    “Yale and Zen are outstanding. Let them work together on the project. That’d be good for the


    company!”


    “Dad, what—”


    “No need to work together. I can handle it on my own!”


    The deep and cold voice stunned everyone. Many of them watched them fighting in a gloating


    manner.


    Liam looked at him and lowered his voice. “Zen, what your uncle said makes sense. It’s terrible to


    keep using the funds from Chaisnd!”


    “It’s my money.” Zephyr smiled and signaled Robert to give out the documents.
