Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 232

Liam was ultimately out of the critical state, but he could not tire himself out or receive any shock.

Zephyr could only run the Hamerton Group on his behalf for the time being.

As a result, his return to Jangasas kept being delayed.

Cordelia did not complain about it. She only asked him to do whatever he had to without worry. It was just that Zephyr could hardly not be worried. He would not have peace as long as he did not see her.

“Can grandpa meet anyone now?”

“Uncle Clark says that Mr. Matthew’s taking care of him.”

Zephyr paused and scoffed. He recalled Kate arguing with Henry on the phone two days ago. The cause of it seemed to be Kate asking Henry to take care of Liam since the latter was ill, but Henry, who was slow, remained silent.

Kate had scolded him, “Are you going to let your younger brother outshine you again when you refuse to do anything now? Henry Hamerton, why are you so pathetic!? You won’t even get any leftovers if you fight for it with Matthew!”

Well, guess who was right?

Zephyr shook his head and was going to get up when his assistant for the Hamerton Group knocked and came in to drop off another stack of documents.

“Mr. Zephyr, this is the trial proposal for the company’s reorganization. Mr. Liam’s asked you to hold a meeting with relevant departments today and come up with a preliminary outcome.”

Zephyr squinted.

His grandfather doted on him. Even when he was energetic in the past, the old man would never make him do so much within a day. Why was he doing this now?

With how unusual things were going, he doubted Liam’s intention.

“Got it.” Zephyr remained indifferent. “Fix the meeting at 4:00 p.m. I have an hour of free time before that. I’d like to visit grandpa first.”

There was a subtle change in the assistant’s expression. “Mr. Zephyr, you….”

“What?” Zephyr’s presence was intimidating. “My grandfather’s ill, and I want to visit him. Are you going to stop me?”

Robert went up to stop the assistant. The latter dared not move and could only watch Zephyr leave.

Liam leaned against the bed. The several big screens across him showed the recent data and reports of the company, as well as the outcome of Zephyr’s management over these few days.

He nodded with an expression of approval.

Matthew came in with a bowl of tonic and placed it by the bed. He only dared to serve it to Liam after the tonic cooled down.

“Dad, I made this, especially for you. Try it?”

Liam glanced at him and got the remote control to turn off the screen.

“Hah, dad.” Matthew continued to say obsequiously, “Zephyr’s marvelous! He’s running the Hamerton Group so well in just a few days. Everyone in the company says that he’s like you back then!”

“Of course.” Liam smiled. “How could I go wrong with the person I trained personally?”

Matthew was resentful but could not show it.

“Right, Zephyr beat up Yale previously. Is he okay?”

“Certainly!” Matthew answered with a smile, “This brat, Yale, needed to be taught a lesson. Zephyr is right hitting him!”

“I know you’re just saying that. Hah, it’s your son. You’d be in pain too!”

“Dad…”

“I’ve advised Zephyr. It’s only a woman. No need to get petty with his elder cousin.” Liam took a sip of the tonic. It tasted decent.

“Actually, it’s a misunderstanding this time.” Matthew explained, “That woman wasn’t Cordelia Jenner…”

“Even though it wasn’t her, it’s obvious that Zephyr will lose his cool anytime the woman is around.” Liam’s gaze darkened. “So Cordelia Jenner must still be eliminated!”

Matthew thought that this was his chance—it was finally time for him to prove himself! Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Dad, I have an idea, but I don’t know if it’s worth trying it out.”

Liam turned to him. His judging gaze felt sharp as he smirked. “I heard that you found a secret weapon and have been keeping it?”

Matthew’s heart dropped.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.” Liam scoffed. “But since you have a secret weapon, you might as well use it.”

“Dad, you mean…” Matthew blinked. “Let Marcus Grist get rid of Cordelia?”
