Chapter 556


    Frederic looked at him with a nk expression.


    He was only here because of what Zephyr had said—that he could pretend to betray him. He had


    picked this time because he knew Yale and was aware that he would not be resting and would still be


    having fun at this hour.


    Since he nned to get something out of Yale, of course he had to choose a time when he could get


    the closest to him. He just had not expected to see Michelle like this here…


    Frederic gripped his fists. It felt as if something had crumbled in his heart abruptly.


    Michelle stared at him nkly as well. Her clothes were messy and her hair disheveled. There were


    even some wounds on her face, and she was throwing herself at Yale.


    Frederic suddenly thought he was hrious. Years of infatuation and resolution broke down in an


    instant.


    He had seen a quote on the inte—“When’s the moment that you suddenly stopped loving


    someone?”—and he realized this was this moment for Frederic.


    He suddenly thought that this was all due to Michelle. Perhaps all this while, what he had liked was the


    feeling of wholeheartedly liking someone. He had put Michelle on too high a pedestal all this time.


    In fact, she was just like some female celebrities in the entertainment industry—except those female


    celebrities were much franker than her. At least, their ambition and desire were obvious. Unlike


    Michelle, who had a sweet and demure character on the outside and had to be discreet and stealthy


    about her desires.


    “Frederic.” Yale chuckled dryly. “Listen… Don’t misunderstand this. I brought Ms. Carmichael here


    today to take care of her for you because she must have had a hard time shooting…”


    “I’ll have to thank you then, Mr. Yale.”


    “It’s nothing worth mentioning.” Yale chuckled. “Frederic, it’s a mess in here. Shall we talk elsewhere?”


    “Sure.” Frederic’s voice wasposed. “You call the shots.”


    Yale was slightly relieved upon seeing that Frederic did not seem angry. He got someone to send


    Michelle off and took Frederic to the best VIP room in the club.


    Despite that, his heart drummed on the way there. Michelle Carmichael was a sticky problem! How


    could she throw herself at him at this juncture?!


    “Mr. Yale, I’ve thought it through.”


    “Hmm?” Yale snapped back to his senses.


    Frederic looked at him with a smile. “To be honest, being with Mr. Zephyr all these years has been


    really hard on my pride. If you gave me a higher status, I’d be willing to serve you!”

    Late at night, in Royal Manor…


    Zephyr turned around and startled awake when he did not find that pliant, sweet-smelling figure in his

    There was no sight of her in the bedroom either.


    Shocked, Zephyr did not even put on his slippers before he dashed out of the bedroom, only to see that


    the light in the study was switched on.


    Zephyr chuckled wryly. Did she have to start managing the bills on the night of their wedding?


    He went in, softly pushing the door. Cordelia looked up and met his doting gaze, shooting him a sweet


    smile in return.


    “Darling, why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”


    Zephyr fetched a cardigan to drape it over her and hugged her from the back before he hoisted her up.


    Cordelia gasped. The moment Zephyr picked her up, he took her seat.


    Left with nowhere to sit, Cordelia could only sit on hisp.


    The man’s hands then crept up her hips…


    “Stop it!” Cordelia wriggled and chuckled. “Your family’s ounts are kind of tricky to sort through.”
