Chapter 364
“What?” Zephyr’s frown was tightly furrowed. He did not know about Phil’s visit to Royal Manor the
other day.
Cordelia told him the whole story and said, “I didn’t tell you before this because I thought that it was
already resolved, so there was no need to, and…
“I thought too simple of it.” She was frustrated with herself. “I didn’t expect Phil to hide his motive so
deeply!”
“No need to me yourself.” Zephyr rubbed her shoulder. “Even I didn’t expect Phil to be someone
like this.”
“Aunt Helen damaged the phone.” Cordelia looked at him. “I was worried about him having photos
of our home in his phone and that it wouldn’t be safe so Aunt Helen figured out a way and dropped
the phone into hot soup.”
Zephyr nodded.
Although the phone was ruined, they might be able to get a glimpse inside if the data could be
recovered…
He passed the phone to Robert, who knew what to do with just a nce from him and left
immediately.
“Sleep earlier.” Zephyr held Cordelia, telling her with a deep voice that was tinged with warmth, “I’ll
visit Zennie early tomorrow morning and look for a good time to tell Aunt Cloud about this.
“With how Aunt Cloud is, she’ll never let Phil off the hook,” he said. “We’ll be able to force the
person behind Phil out with Aunt Cloud’s assistance!”
Cordelia looked at him and rested her head against his chest.
“You already have an idea who the person is… right?”
“Mm.” Zephyr chuckled. ‘What a clever woman…’
“Is it your Uncle Matthew and Yale?”
“Maybe.” He rubbed her hair and hugged her close. Her sweet fragrance allowed him a moment of
rxation from his otherwise tense state.
“Our grudges go a long way,” he said in a low tone. “They make me understand that people can
disregard family ties and everything else to fight for power.”
Cordelia pursed her lips and muttered, “How many assets are in your family waiting to be
inherited?”
Zephyr smiled without saying anything.
She then asked, “Are money and power… so important?”
Zephyr looked at her. Her expression when she asked the question was pure and serious. Her
beautiful doe eyes were clear like pools of spring.
He smiled and rubbed her head with a doting gaze, answering her questions.
“My family does have quite some assets. Our status as the head of Centrolis’ four major families
isn’t for nothing.
“Let me put it this way…” He thought about it and said, “Do you know the GM of DL Tower, Jerry
Wang?”
“Mm, I do!” Cordelia had an impression of the man. When Zephyr took her to DL once, this general
manager cleared up the whole building and weed them personally.
“Jerry used to be the Hamertons’ employee.”
“What?” Cordelia widened her eyes.
It was no wonder that the general manager pandered to Zephyr so much when he saw him and
Zennie was already a ck gold card member of DL Tower despite her young age.
“Actually, the Hamertons will select part of the butlers and helpers to train up each year. Jerry was
dutiful and smart when he was in the manor. He’s also diligent. Thus, he’s one of the people we
focused on training.
“These people who are trained are scattered in various fields, and they basically can reach up to
senior executive levels.

“These industries andpanies can better serve the Hamertons because they’re there.”
Cordelia sucked in a deep breath and nodded thoughtfully.
In the past, she thought that these rich families were just rich. They had their strategies and
nning with a whole web of connections.
When one said that a certain major family grasped the economy of a whole city, it was not an
exaggeration.
“It’s not just the Hamertons.” Zephyr continued. “It’s the same for the Bayers and the Tanners. This
is why marriages must be arranged among the few major families. Such rtionships are the most
stable.”
‘This is also why he has to marry Nelly…’ Cordelia pouted a little.
