"Mm, yeah." Zephyr wore a relieved smile.

Actually, Xyla and Carter were not too big of a problem. The hardest part for Rowan seemed to see a flicker of hope now.

After all, there were over 20 years of estrangement. Things needed to go slow. For whatever it was worth, the first step was already taken, and the day of the reunion would only get closer. Cordelia met his eyes, and both of them smiled. Zephyr led them out with an arm over her shoulder. They could finally have a good meal without any burden now.

"Darling, I think you're right!"

"What?"

"That old geezer made you all suffer for so many years. It's time for him to taste his medicine now!"

"What are you saying?" The girl glared at him instantly. "Who are you calling an old geezer!?"

"Well..." Zephyr said purposely, "That ungrateful old geezer, the pufferfish with spines..."

"Hey!" Cordelia tried to smack him with a hop.

Despite that, Zephyr was tall like a tree and pulled a small flower like her into his embrace easily. With the obvious height difference, Cordelia was unable to escape no matter how she pried herself away. "Honey, let's go back tomorrow, okay?"

"What?" Zephyr chortled. "I was thinking of staying another two days in Jangasas with you!"

"I... I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to hurry back. There are a lot of things that have not been done yet!"

She also really wanted to see Rowan. She wanted to feel her father's love again.

Zephyr held her face and pressed a gentle kiss on her cheek before he nodded in agreement.

There was something more important that would take place at home tomorrow. It was time to settle the score with William Jenner!

The next day, at Royal Manor...

William came to the location Yale had sent to him right on the dot.

It was said that this was a villa residence developed by the Bayers and was the best luxury property in Centrolis.

William knew that people were working in collusion with him, and as expected, the security system was as if a decoration when he arrived. There was not even a security guard! He cackled and looked around. The place was really luxurious. He considered himself affluent in Jangasas, but it was nothing compared to this place.

"Didn't expect Cordelia to be so lucky!" he muttered under his breath and could not help getting angry when he thought of how his own daughter had not even gotten a status after clinging to Yale for so long. The mansion Cordelia and Zephyr were living at was easy to find. It was the best out of the available villas.

William sneaked to the door, and it opened on its own before he could react! Shocked, he nearly screamed only to see a handsome and polite man stand before him with a ghost of a smile. "Mr. Jenner, do you remember me?"

William sized him up for a good moment before realization struck him. "Oh... you're the lawyer, Mr. Constable!"

"Yes."

"Ah, you're the one Mr. Yale's speaking about!" William was relieved and walked in boldly.

Fredric glanced at him and followed him in.

"Mr. Constable, I heard that you're familiar around here!" William was eager. "Tell me now. Where's that box?"

"No hurry." Fredric was cool as a cucumber. "It's been a long trip, Mr. Jenner. Have a seat and some tea. I'll fetch you the box!"
