Zephyr's gaze darkened.

Cordelia froze. She vaguely remembered that Phil did hold something in his hand when he came with Zennie the last time.

"Those things are kept in the kitchen, and I've never paid them any mind," Helen sighed. "I wanted to make chicken and Bird's Nest soup for you today and took them out, but..." Zephyr's expression became sharp.

This meant that Phil was absolutely not just a permanent employee! His purpose of approaching Zennie was clear-he wanted to eliminate him and Cordelia through Zennie!

Once something happened to him and Cordelia-and since they were staying in Royal Manor-the Bayers would have to carry the blame.

By then, the Hamertons and the Bayers would be in discord, and they would get into a fight which no one would benefit from...

Cordelia also realized the severity of the issue. "Zephyr, we must inform Aunt Cloud about this!

"I just came from Seth's. He's been counseling Zennie all this time, and she isn't very well mentally. She has light depression!

"This must be Phil's doing!" Cordelia said angrily, "We must catch this guy back and avenge Zennie!"

Zephyr hugged her and patted her shoulder.

He had never regarded Phil in the past, not expecting him to be this frightening... The targets of the force behind Phil were not just him-they were also Cordelia, Zennie, his parents, Kate, and even the Bayers! Everyone related to him must be a target that force wanted to wipe out!

"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything." He looked down at her.

Cordelia shook her head. "I'm not scared. I just want to fight together with you.”

He smiled with an indulging gaze. "I'm your man. It's enough for me to be on the battlefield alone.

"I'll protect you, but you have to protect yourself too. It's only when you're safe that I won't have any worries!"

"Mm." Cordelia smiled.

Both of them returned home. Ginger was bored and hungry on the porch.

Cordelia made something simple for it and stroked its round head, looking up to see Robert at the door. There were a few more people behind him.

Cordelia let them in, and they bowed at her respectfully.

Robert said with a smile, "Ms. Cordelia, these are people who've been following Mr. Z for years. When you were in Jangasas, they were the ones responsible for protecting you.

"Mr. Z has asked them to come and keep guard around Royal Manor daily, so you're safe going in and out!"

"Oh." Cordelia's gaze was gentle as she looked at the men. "Thank you guys."

"You're most welcome, Ms. Cordelia."

Before Robert could finish, he saw Zephyr walking out of the room in loungewear and slippers. He first ruffled Ginger when he saw it before he straightened up and looked at them. "Is there a problem?"

Robert was a little dumbstruck. If it were not for Cordelia, he might not be able to see a Zephyr like this his whole life.

"Mm, yes." Robert coughed and pulled a phone out of his pocket to pass to Zephyr.

"The Nelsons who are working under us are under our supervision right now. They currently have no contact with the outside world, as our men keep an eye on them. "This phone was found in Phil's room."

Zephyr frowned. It was an old phone and was greasy.

"This was the phone Phil Nelson used the other day." Cordelia could recognize it. "Zephyr, that day when he came, he took photos of our place with this phone!"
