"Zephyr..." Cordelia said softly. She looked at him while blinking her big eyes.

At the moment, she was like a cute little bunny pouting while leaning on his chest as she enunciated. "I was unprepared last time. It's different this time. "We have a plan and strategies. Also, you can send people to protect me secretly!"

Zephyr fell silent. He did not speak.

"Hubby, we must catch Marcus and send him to the place that he deserves. In that case, he'll never have the chance to hurt people!"

Cordelia's eyes were unusually determined, which made his heart squeeze.

He knew that she had been a woman who looked weak outside but strong inside.

"Perhaps... Through Marcus, we can find Phil. It might even include Yale. We could capture all of them!

"So, disappear when you should. Just go with Yale's plot and let him think that we fell into his trap! After that... we'll be in control!"

That was right. Zephyr smiled. A skilled hunter would appear as prey.

He caressed her head and said to her in a worried yet spoiling manner, "Roger that!"

Cordelia smiled as brightly as the stars and leaned on his chest coquettishly.

"Don't worry, hubby. I'll definitely carry out my mission!

"Although we don't know what card Yale will play next, we'll play by ear. We definitely won't give him the chance to fight back at all!"

"Will he dare to fight back?" Zephyr caressed her shoulders. "You even took his bodyguards away!"

She giggled happily.

"Wifey..." Thinking that he would disappear in a few days and that Marcus would step in, he was jealous.

"Hmm, what's up?"

"If Marcus and I stood before you, would you be able to tell us apart?"

Cordelia was stunned. Seeing her husband's cold and serious face, she knew he had started having childish thoughts.

Thus, she pulled his leg. "Are you joking? Of course I can't!"

"What!?"

"You fool!" She hit his head with her finger. "Would I not know my husband?"

Only then did Zephyr realize that he was tricked.

He smirked and cared about nothing now. He bent down suddenly, carried her, and ran to the master bedroom upstairs...

He was going to disappear soon. Naturally, he would have to go all out tonight!

The next day, Cordelia forced herself up with her backache.

She rushed to the study at the old house after taking a shower.

She did not have to work today. It was her weekly schedule of handling the family matters today.

Lukas was standing outside. He was the nephew of Henry's butler. He was the one who had served Liam medicine when he was poisoned last time.

After finding out that it had nothing to do with him and that Henry was generous, he was kept at Gale Bay.

When Cordelia came home today, he mustered his courage to guard outside the study.

She smiled. She was only there to do the accounts, so why would she need anyone's protection? He exposed himself by doing that.

However, she said nothing. Since he wanted to do that, she would let him be. She had many messages that she wanted him to pass to Yale!

Just like what was happening now. Robert rushed in, pretending to look panicked. It seemed rude for him to do that.

He yelled as soon as he came in, "Bad news Mrs. Hamerton! Bad news!"

Cordelia coughed softly and signaled him intentionally. "There's someone out there! Why are you yelling?"

Lukas bent closer and almost stuck his ear on the door.

Robert smirked and said the 'secret' loudly. "Mrs. Hamerton, you should never let anyone know about this... M-Mr. Z..."

"What's wrong?"

"He seems to be missing!"

"What!?" Cordelia stood up. "How's that possible!? We were together yesterday!"

"Yes, that's the problem!" Robert raised his voice. "He was supposed to fly to Chaiseland this morning, but I-I couldn't reach him before we got to the airport!"

Cordelia was pacing in the room.

Lukas inched closer quietly and watched the two of them through the gap.

He saw Robert's lowered head. He looked upset and was sighing.

He saw Cordelia looking worried. Her eyes were red as she kept calling Zephyr.

In the end, he heard Robert's confirmation. "Mrs. Hamerton, we really can't reach him. What do we do? There are a couple of documents in the office that are waiting for him. Those are for funds of millions, and none of us dare to call the shots!"

Lukas quickly arrived at Yale Residence and narrated everything he had overheard to Yale.

Yale's eyes widened, and his mind was rather blank.

'It cannot be such a coincidence, right? Zephyr went missing at this time!?'

"Did you hear it correctly?"

"I'm sure!" Lukas slapped his chest to guarantee that. "She even said... she can't sign the documents for funds of over millions. It has to be Zephyr who does it, but now he has gone missing..." Yale took a deep breath and called Zephyr a few times. He could not reach him.

He used his connection to look for Zephyr secretly. He waited from morning until night, and this was what he got: "We don't have any record of him exiting the country. But we've searched the entire Centrolis. He has indeed gone missing."

Yale grinned cunningly.

That was great news! It would be best if he died without a complete body!

"This is the perfect opportunity that God gave me!" Yale lit a cigarette. "I can use Marcus soon!"

"Sir, do I... continue following Cordelia?"

"Keep your distance," Yale said softly, "That b*tch is smart. If you show any flaws in front of her, my plan will go to waste!"

"Yes, roger that!" Lukas responded and left.

Yale got his subordinates to bring Marcus over and gave him a makeover.

He asked if he remembered how to copy Zephyr's signature like he did in the past.

Marcus looked blank. He had completely forgotten about it.

There were only fights, being in prison, money, and sex in his world.

If there was no sex, it would be better if he had money!

Marcus showed a fawning smile, "Sir, I-If I manage to master his signature, will I be paid?"

"Ha, you don't see the big picture here!" Yale scoffed. "When you've mastered his entire character, money isn't the only thing that'll come your way!"

Marcus pursed his lips.

He knew they treated him as Zephyr's stand-in.

However, he was a stand-in, not a fool!

Whether Zephyr was missing or not, he would die once his identity was exposed!

Therefore, he hesitated. "S-Sir, can I not participate in your plan?"

"What did you say!?" Yale's face became distorted.
