Zephyr did not say anything. He had wanted to shoulder this alone, but when he thought about how he had almost lost her because he had said nothing, he decided he was not going to be a fool twice.

He smiled and hugged her lightly. “I was informed that William Jenner’s currently in Centrolis.”

The person in his arms clearly went stiff. Zephyr hugged her tighter.

“Jenner’s company has gone bankrupt, and Yelena has become Yale’s plaything…” he explained to her. “William Jenner’s in desperate need of money. It’s well within reason that he’s in Centrolis to rely on his daughter.”

“He isn’t just depending on his daughter.” Cordelia’s voice was calm. “I don’t think he’ll let me go.”

Zephyr ran his hand through her long hair. He could not help smiling as he looked at her soft but resolute face.

He remembered that he had assumed she must have a soft and weak character when they had first met, but she had turned out to be much tougher than he had imagined.

That was why he did not shy away from telling her the truth. “I think he won’t just come for you. He’ll go after your mom too. I remember him going to your house once in Jangasas.

“But don’t worry, I have people set around mom’s place. I won’t let William Jenner get close to her!”

Cordelia looked up at him with a sweet smile. No matter what, he would always make sure things were properly taken care of.
