However, he was in urgent need of the money right now. He could only get money from the Southeast Aciatic account in Xyla’s name.

William bit his lip. It was a risky move.

Who were the Irwins in Southeast Aciatic? They were tough and aggressive. They would not care about the money but they hated being deceived.

If they found out that William had lied to them, for over 20 years no less, he could imagine the consequences.

William paced back and forth in the room with a frown. He recalled what Chad had looked like when he had visited him in jail.

Chad had been wrapped in gauze like a mummy and had actually been helped out by the jail warden while walking. His mental state had not been stable either. He had been a little crazy and he had not been speaking clearly because he had two teeth missing in the front.

William despised him and had been about to turn around when he’d heard Chad mumbling, “Bro… your Cordelia’s d-doing so well now…

“I can’t afford to offend her, no…

“She has… the gangs, Southeast Aciatic, and Zephyr Hamerton behind her!”

William had stood rooted to the spot.

Chad had chuckled in a daze, sounding rather eerie.

“Bro, don’t be too full of yourself. Heh… Your son-in-law is no ex-inmate. That girl’s with Zephyr Hamerton! He’ll come for you…”

Chad had been led back by the jail warden after that.

William had an idea while thinking about this. Cordelia being with Zephyr was not a problem but a blessing for him.

It seemed that Zephyr cared a lot about Cordelia. He would have to step up if William had something to blackmail Cordelia with.
