“Do you know what you’re saying?” He was furious. “To lose your rationality over a woman, you don’t deserve to be the Hamertons’ heir!”

“Sure.” Zephyr looked at him calmly. “I can release a statement to never inherit any of the Hamertons’ assets.”

“You…”

Liam thought he would trigger him, so he never thought it would backfire.

How could the Hamertons flourish without Zephyr? Moreover, Liam did not have another 20 years to train another outstanding heir like him.

“Think about it carefully!” Liam said coldly, “If you cut ties with the Hamertons, that woman will have nothing. She will leave you sooner or later!”

“She won’t.” Zephyr chuckled. “She’d follow me even if I got to the point of being a beggar.”

“You’re out of your mind!”

“I’m fully aware of what I’m doing, grandpa.” Zephyr enunciated each word. “I’m running the legal process to transfer my three companies to Cordelia. If you still refuse for her to marry me, she’ll leave with the three companies and the land in the western suburb!”

Liam looked terrible. He held so tightly to the cane his joints were pale.

“I’ve said everything I have.” Zephyr nodded and bowed. “Grandpa, Cordelia is an amazing girl. I really don’t want to pass her by.

“I’ve already made a mistake by keeping my identity from her. I’ll do everything I can to make her stay this time!”

He turned around to leave after he was done speaking. He felt much more relieved now.

He walked in the manor and lifted his head to the sky. He rarely had such a laid-back moment since he was young.

He suddenly wondered whether Cordelia was at the window, looking at the night sky like he did.

He stopped, looked at his phone, and hesitated before making a video call.

The landlord called, asking Cordelia if she wanted to continue renting the place.

She felt a squeeze in her heart as she had many memories with Zephyr there. Although she was mad at him, she did not want to throw those memories away.

“Say something, Mrs. Grist!” shouted the landlord, “I’ll rent it to someone else if you won’t! The unit is selling like hot cake!”

“You can’t rent it to someone else!” Cordelia slipped. “We signed a one-year contract, and it has not expired yet!”

“It has not, but you’ll have to pay the rent, Mrs. Grist!”
