Chapter 226
“Sir…” Robert was hesitating.
Zephyr looked at him and said, “Just spill it.”
Robert smacked his lips. “I know you’re doing everything for Ms. Jenner’s good, but by law, as of now… She's Marcus’ wife.
“If you give so many of your assets, including your company to her, doesn’t it mean that you’re giving half of everything to Marcus too?”
Zephyr smiled, looking confident.
He had thought about that issue before. He had also checked with Fredric regarding the legal matter.
Although they were married, their finances were independent. To him, the best solution was to write a declaration emphasizing that the assets would belong to Cordelia only—it would have no business with anyone else.
“Don’t worry.” he looked at Robert. “It’s impossible that Marcus will get even a cent from me!
“Also, I’ll tell Cordelia everything when I return to Jangasas. She is smart and will know what to do. I also believe she’ll face everything with me, no matter what happens!”
Robert nodded. He had a faint bad feeling.
However, he did not want to say anything, seeing his boss being all confident. He could only go along while smiling. “That’s right. Ms. Jenner isn’t a regular lady. She’d understand you.”
Zephyr revealed a proud face.
Robert wanted to laugh when he saw that. He suppressed his laughter after faking a cough. “A message came from the house. It says the old man is waiting for you at the study.”
Zephyr got up immediately and walked to the study. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
He wanted to call Cordelia when he was on the way, but nobody picked up after calling a few times.
He suddenly felt a squeeze in his heart. He checked the time. The cafe should have been closed earlier. She should be home by now, so why was she not picking up?
He checked with Robert. The latter guaranteed him that his men had been watching her, and that Ms. Jenner was not in danger.
Just when Zephyr wanted to go deeper into it, the butler walked out of the study and bowed respectfully. “Mr. Z, Sir Hamerton has been waiting.”
He could only nod and casually walked into the study.
The butler stood outside to chat with Robert. “What happened… to Mr. Z lately?”
That question confused Robert.
“What do you mean, Uncle Clark?”
Uncle Clark sighed. “I’ve been taking care of him since he was young. He’s just like my grandson, yet he can’t afford a car now?”
Robert was rendered speechless.
“Also, there are so many amazing cars in the garage. He can just drive any that he wants! W-Why did he drive that car home?”
Robert almost did not hold back. He covered his mouth and disguised his laughter with coughing.
“He’s just so stubborn that he won’t tell us even when he has met with difficulties!” Uncle Clark sighed while shaking his head. “Be a good boy, Robert. Tell him often that he can come straight home whenever he’s in trouble. We have everything for him at home!”
“Y-Yes, sir!” Robert was afraid that he would laugh out loud if he said more.
He wondered what Uncle Clark would say if he found out what that cheap car meant to Zephyr.
“He’s doing fine, Uncle Clark! Even if he’s in trouble, he’ll definitely tell his family. Don’t worry about him!”
“Then what’s with that… car?”
Robert smiled. “Oh, he likes it!”
Uncle Clark was stunned for a moment. He shook his head. “Young people nowadays are so fickle- minded… Hah, alright, then. Since he likes it, I’ll get people to maintain it tomorrow. I’ll get them to clean it up real good!”
…
Zephyr got a call from Yale soon after he went into the study.
“Z, you’re with grandpa again?” There was intense mockery in his tone. “You sure are hardworking. No wonder grandpa likes you! Hah, if this goes on, you’ll get every good thing from the Hamertons!”
Zephyr’s face dimmed.
