Chapter 914
Cordelia stretched her shoulders and neck. Recently, Zuko had gained a lot of weight and turned into a
little chubby ball. Plus, the little baby who had just learned to walk did not seem to like walking anymore
and kept asking to be carried by his mother.
Every day, Cordelia carried Zuko, who felt as heavy as two bags of flour in her arms, so much so that
she had muscle inmmation in her shoulders.
Zephyr quickly dragged her to sitfortably on the couch and massaged her shoulders and neck.
Cordelia was not done with what she was saying, though, and continued with the previous topic. “Why
don’t I dislike Alexander? Because he’s really nice.
“The others, like Nelly and Ava, approached you with ulterior motives, but Alexander’s sincere to you.”
She looked up at him and smiled yfully. “Honey, your wife can always tell who’s sincere no matter
how silly she is.”
“Oh?” Zephyr smiled and asked deliberately, “How can you tell?”
“Alexander’s sincere to you like how I am to you!” Cordelia blurted.
Zephyr’s heart jolted, and he looked at her tenderly, reaching out to stroke her face.
“Birds of a feather flock together,” Cordelia said softly. “It’s easy to sense your own kind with just one
nce. So, how can those hypocrites like Nelly and Avapare to Alexander?
“Besides, I’m not afraid of Alexander liking you.” She grinned proudly.
Zephyr was pleased. “Why?”
“Because you’ll always be by my side!” Cordelia turned around to go behind the couch and hugged his
neck. “Because… my husband will never leave me in this life, the next life, and the life after the next!”
Zephyr felt extremely happy. Sweet delight erupted in him. He rubbed her cheek with his thumb and
looked at her with deep affection.
The starlight shone through the window. The atmosphere was perfect.
However, Mr. Z Hamerton perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be carried away by one’s own
happiness in the next second.
“Oh? Never leave you?” He was so happy that he did not know what he was saying. “Darling, you’re
pretty confident! Hahaha…”
Cordelia’s smile froze instantly.
“What do you mean?”
Zephyr suddenly came back to his senses, and a chill ran down his spine.
“Zephyr Hamerton!” Cordelia pushed his hand away. “Exin to me why I can’t be confident!”
“…”
“You think I don’t deserve to be so confident?” Cordelia’s voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Zephyr was stunned. He wanted to cut his own tongue.
“Oh, so you can’t tolerate me now?” Cordelia did not get angry butughed. “So, you have other
ns?”
“Darling!”
Zephyr knew that he had caused a big disaster. Forget kneeling on a pineapple. It would be difficult to
appease her rage even if hey on a bed of pineapples!
“Cordelia, let me exin—”
“It’s okay. There’s no need to exin it,” Cordelia interrupted calmly with a raise of her hand.
Zephyr swallowed. She seemed calm, but it felt like the calm before the storm to him.
Cordelia sat back on the sofa and casually picked up her phone, calling Rowan with a rxed tone.
“Dad, have you had dinner? Oh, uh, Zephyr’s not feeling well and needs acupuncture. Can youe
over?”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
Cordelia made another call.

“Neil, how many people are there in the elite squad of the Harrises’ troops? Oh, 300-500? Do they
need training? Heh! Don’t be shy. Your cousin-inw can help them practice!”
Zephyr was rmed.
Shortly, Cordelia made a third call. “Hey, Carter, are you still in theb? Is there no one testing the new
medicine you’re researching? Bring it over to your brother-inw! He has nothing to do anyway!”
Zephyr rushed into the kitchen, quickly fetched the food that Cordelia had prepared for their son, and
hurried upstairs to be a caring father. The only person who could save him now was his chubby ball,
Zuko!

Suzanne opened her eyes slowly. Her head felt heavy, and it hurt like needles were prickling it. She
looked around. She was in the pce’s secret chamber, and it was incredibly dark.
In the past, this was the ce Victoria eliminated opposing forces for Carme…
Suzanne shuddered and could not help curling into herself to back away. As she backed into the
corner, the cool wall seemed to have dried blood from before.
The wooden door creaked, and footstepsing to her rang. Suzanne froze and stared wide-eyed into
the darkness.
“Oh, you’re awake?” Luxurious gold-threaded shoes came to a stop in front of her.
Suzanne looked up. The owner of the shoes smirked, the smile cold and vicious.
“Your Highness…” Suzanne was weak.
Victoria crouched in front of her and grabbed her chin. Her long and sharp nails painted in red pierced
into her flesh.
Suzanne gasped in pain only to hear Victoria’s snicker.
“B*tch, this is the consequence for betraying me!
“Joy’s under Auntie, and I can’t catch her, so… you’ll have to be her scapegoat!”
Victoria hacked a hard cough, and a masked person in ck came in with a syringe. Suzanne, who
knew what it was, paled in horror.
“No, no…” She begged on her knees. “Your Highness, pardon me. I… I just lost my rationale, I still
want to serve you!”
Victoria was unfazed. “Inject it into her!”
“No!” Suzanne’s blood-curdling scream echoed in the secret chamber.
Following Victoria’s order, the person in ck went forward to hold Suzanne down and aimed the cool
syringe against the vein on her arm. Once it was injected, she would live a life worse than death.
“Your Highness! Your Highness!” Suzanne begged for mercy, wailing. “Your Highness, I was wrong.
Don’t do it, please, Your Highness!”
Victoria smirked icily. Just when the needle was going to pierce through Suzanne’s skin, she suddenly
called out, “Stop!”
The person in ck stopped instantly and shoved Suzanne to the ground.
Suzanne shook uncontrobly as she slumped to the ground.
Victoria padded to her and looked down at her. “Do you really want to keep serving me?”
