“Mm.” Zephyr nodded. Fredric’s opinion was what he thought too. What they could do now was only respond to the changes by staying still.

Josiah smiled and changed the topic. “Right, I think sis-in-law’s bold and resolute like you now! I heard that she resigned from Bowfest.”

“She really did?” Zephyr looked at him, a crack of a smile appearing on his otherwise stern face.

“Why did she resign?” Fredric was puzzled. “Isn’t she already a director there?”

“You’re underestimating our sis-in-law here!” said Josiah. “What does a director count for? I heard Cordelia negotiated with William Jenner and asked for the Jenner Group’s shares and a seat on the board of directors. William actually agreed!”

Fredric widened his eyes in disbelief while Zephyr only smiled. She had really done it. It seemed that what he had taught her that night had not gone to waste.

“Alright, you guys go on. I should head home.” Zephyr got up and stretched before he walked downstairs.

“Z, so early?”

He replied with a low hum and turned around with a chortle. “I should go back and cook for my wife to celebrate joining the board of directors!”

Josiah and Fredric nearly dropped their jaws. Mr. Z Hamerton knew how to cook?

Despite that, Zephyr did not go far when he turned around again and told Josiah, “Actually, ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes. I’ll have them to-go.”

The two men nearly suffered an internal injury from holding back their peals of laughter.

Zephyr kept a blank face and entered the elevator. As the elevator descended to the lobby on the first floor, he felt a pair of sharp eyes on him from his back. He snapped his head back, but everything was as usual.

He frowned, doubts bubbling in his mind. A shadow flashed before him just as he was about to move forward.

“Hah, looks like you’ve been doing great, huh? You can actually afford to come to a place like this.”

Cordelia’s head was tilted. A wash of indifference flashed across her pretty face.

“My decision is… I refuse to,” she said without any hesitation.

The answer was slightly out of Zephyr’s expectations, but he wanted to know what his wife was thinking.
