“Marcus was a recidivist. It’s said that the youngest girl he assaulted was only 16 years old…”

Zephyr took a deep breath and exhaled.

Repulsive! It was not just Nicholas. Even he would look down on a man like this. It was fortunate that Marcus Grist was already dead.

“Sir, it’s best that you stay away from Nicholas. He’s quite influential now—not as much as the Hamertons, but he’s in the gangs. They don’t play on the same field as we do. If he…”

If Nicholas came looking for trouble with him because of the former’s past disdain and loathing for Marcus, it would be easy for him to know that he was not Marcus.

Zephyr was not scared of anything but Cordelia finding out. She would discover that he was Zephyr Hamerton sooner or later, but he wanted to take his time and explain it to her. Before that, nothing unexpected could happen.

Zephyr pinched between his brows and turned on the laptop to continue drafting his proposal.
