"I just suddenly thought of it." Cordelia smiled at her. "You're Zennie Hamerton, and he's Yale Hamerton, and you're both from Centrolis. I guess that you could be related." "And you guess it right," Zennie said softly. "Yale's my big cousin.

"He's my second uncle's son and the eldest grandson in the family.

"Cordelia, he's a horrible man. Don't get acquainted with him!"

Cordelia was startled but chortled right after. There was no way she would care about men other than her husband!

"Cordelia." Zennie looked at her. "Actually... I have an older brother too."

"Oh." Cordelia did not have much of a reaction.

"He's my brother by blood!" Zennie licked her lips and said with a smile, "His name is Zephyr Hamerton. Do you think it's a nice name?"

"Zephyr Hamerton?" Cordelia pacified Zennie. "It's a nice name, much nicer than Yale Hamerton!"

"Really?"

"Mm, really."

Zennie secretly pulled out her phone and accessed the voice recorder.

"Cordelia, say it again!"

"Say what?"

"Say that Zephyr Hamerton sounds nicer than Yale Hamerton!"

Cordelia giggled and pinched the girl's cheek. Zennie was already 18 years old, but she was still like a child!

Cordelia did not want to dampen her spirit, so she spoke clearly. "Zephyr Hamerton is the nicest name in the world, ten thousand times better than Yale Hamerton!"

Zennie eyed her to make her say more.

Cordelia racked her brain and thought. "Hmm... Zephyr's not only a nice name, but it's also philosophical. Like the wind!"

"Cordelia, can you say the name a few more times?" Zennie suddenly felt her eyes burn.

Cordelia thought the girl was acting a bit strange today and assumed that she must have missed her elder brother since she was away from home. She smiled and replied softly, "Sure, I'll repeat it a hundred times! Zephyr, Zephyr... the nicest name in the world is Zephyr Hamerton!"

At Zen Residence of the Hamertons in Centrolis...

Zephyr sat before the floor-to-ceiling window that faced the endless nightfall outside. A warm hint of smile tinged the man's otherwise cold and hardened expression.

His girl's gentle voice spoke from the phone from time to time.

"The nicest name in the world is Zephyr Hamerton!

"Zephyr, Zephyr..."

He chuckled. Sometimes, he even dreamed about her calling him like this-not "Marcus", "darling", or "honey", but his name, "Zephyr". Did most husbands and wives not call each other like that? Zephyr saved the voice recording carefully. The day he went back to Jangasas would be the day he told her about his identity truthfully. He wanted to hear her call him "Zephyr" with his own ears. Robert came, knocked on the door, and suddenly felt a hint of warmth in this usually cold-toned study room.

"Sir." He coughed. "All the information is here. Donmein and Lyan's profits alone can surpass 2/3 of the Hamertons' net profit.

"As for transferring them to Ms. Jenner, the procedure is cumbersome. Mr. Constable has already gotten the best lawyer team, and they're on this right now."

"Mm." Zephyr was pleased.

"But, sir." Robert was still worried. "If Elder Mr. Hamerton learns that you're doing this, I'm afraid..."

"I want him to know." Zephyr chuckled. "It's not that Cordelia doesn't have a background or support. She has me.

"If grandpa can't allow her a spot in the Hamertons, I'll make her the fifth major family in Centrolis!”

These companies had been working in secret. They were his sharp swords-and now, it was time they came out of their scabbards.

His swords were, of course, to protect Cordelia-his entire world.
