“Rowan Irwin?” He could not help raising his voice. “What’s the matter with this!?”

Frederic smirked. “This is my discovery.

“When Matthew gave you the policy, your father was the beneficiary. But when it comes to this policy, the beneficiary’s secretly changed to Rowan Irwin.”

Zephyr squinted, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He had not cared about the insurance policy back then, assuming it was an affectation from Matthew. After all, the latter had been keeping up his act all these years to pander to his grandfather.

Who would have thought that there would actually be a plane crash at that time?

“This means that if I did die in that crash…” Zephyr said slowly, “These hundreds of million dollars would go to Rowan Irwin?”

“Absolutely.” It was done without anyone knowing too.

Zephyr’s expression was dark as he muttered the name repeatedly, “Rowan Irwin…”

“I checked the Irwins,” said Frederic. “They’re quite influential at Southeast Aciatic, and they deal with information technology and pharmaceuticals.”

Zephyr nodded.

It was just that the Irwins had never been involved with Centrolis—not even a collaboration. They were basically two parallel lines. How did Rowan conspire with Matthew?

It seemed that he had to keep investigating.

Zephyr snubbed his cigarette and got ready to leave when his phone buzzed.

“Marcus, it’s me.” Seth’s voice sounded urgent. “Are you busy?”

“No. What’s up?”

“Come keep Cordelia company then. She… isn’t in a good mood.”

Zephyr was alarmed. “What happened?”

Seth asked him to hurry to the hospital, finding it hard to explain over the phone.

Cordelia came out from Seth’s office like she had lost her soul. Her face was pale, and her eyes were blank while she walked in the hallway. Her heart thumped, but her breathing was unstable, and chills ran down her spine.

Seth’s words rang in her ears.

“Cordelia, the results are out. You… aren’t actually pregnant.

“But I found something else through your report.”
