Cordelia was delirious. She did not know how to answer him and could only respond shyly following what he said.

She gently closed her eyes, listening to the light shower of rain pitter-pattering on the window and feeling the man’s passionate kisses… She slowly opened up her heart.

Marcus eventually woke up at the crack of dawn.

Back when he was at the Hamertons’, he would sometimes wake up at 4:00 a.m. to work. He would always wake up early, a habit unchanged all these years.

In spite of it, because of Cordelia last night, he was filled with the impulse to sleep in for the first time.

Marcus turned to look at her silently. The girl was sound asleep and looked endearing. He could not help kissing her lips, but the sweetness of it stirred his urge again. He tried to hold himself back as he thought about last night’s frenzy. She must be exhausted.

Marcus got up and caught a glimpse of his phone screen lighting up. He put on a T-shirt and got out of bed to go to the balcony quietly.

“Z, hope I didn’t disturb you this early in the morning?” Fredric asked in a low tone.

“What’s the matter?”

Fredric chuckled. “Your old man has been lashing out recently and took back a subsidiary under Matthew. All the Hamertons are saying that you’re the one behind this.”

Marcus smiled. It was him indeed.

Fortunately, his grandfather doted on him, and there was a flaw in Matthew’s accounts, no matter how perfect he fabricated them. Besides, there were many people in the Hamertons—lots more who were more courageous than Matthew. His grandfather was aged but not senile. His punishment for Matthew was actually a warning to the others with ulterior motives.
