The moment Zephyr was going to open the door, knocks were suddenly heard. He froze and felt chills run down his spine. His gaze was trained on the door.

The knocks grew more urgent, and he tightened his fists, veins popping on his arms.

If he were alone, he was fearless. However, there was Cordelia behind him… He would never let anyone hurt her!

Just as he contemplated how he should lure Matthew’s men away if he opened the door to reveal them wanting to kill him, someone spoke outside the door.

“Hi, I’m the manager of the housekeeping department. Is anyone in?”

Zephyr blinked. He opened a small gap at the door. It was really the housekeeping manager who stood politely outside with an apologetic smile.

It was only then Zephyr opened the door.

“Sir, madam, we’re very sorry for what happened in the hotel.” The manager bowed.

“What happened?”

“It’s a mistake on our security. We didn’t do a detailed check… Someone from the gangs checked in last night and caused this commotion today. We’re very sorry to have alarmed our guests!

“We’ve called the police now, and they’ve taken the suspects away. Sir, madam, the hotel will provide this stay complimentary to you and compensate you for your emotional damage. I apologize again for alarming and disturbing you!”

Zephyr scanned outside and saw plenty of people in the hallway. Several managers explained and apologized for the incident room after room to pacify their guests.

The police were also at the end of the corridor, pulling up barricade tape. For the time being, this place was safe.

Zephyr’s brows were locked together. This did not seem like what Matthew could cook up. If his ‘kind and loyal’ uncle wanted to kill him, he would do it indirectly, not openly and straightforwardly like this.

‘The manager mentioned gangs just now… Could it be…’

Zephyr took a deep breath and closed the door to quickly change his clothes.

Cordelia, who had barely calmed down, could not help asking when she saw that he looked like he was going out again, “Darling, where are you going?”

Zephyr’s eyes contained nothing but the delicate girl.

Cordelia gasped, blushing red. She was shy and afraid as she pleaded softly, “Honey, no!”

Zephyr’s gaze was delirious with a smirk.
