Zephyr was not someone who would go missing casually. Wherever he went and whatever he did, he would always inform her.

It was too strange today. Even Helen was nowhere to be seen.

“Right, Cordelia.” Seth suddenly remembered something. “Do you know someone named Phil?”

“Phil? Phil Nelson?”

“I guess it’s a Nelson,” Seth said, looking at her. “I think he must be important to Zennie, right?”

Cordelia bit her lips. “How did you know?”

“Ah, I’m ashamed to speak about this.” Seth was quite embarrassed. “It’s immoral of me to do so, but I was eager to seek a breakthrough point. Thus, I went through Zennie’s phone in secret.

“Her password was easy to decipher. After I went through her call history, I realized that all she basically called was this Phil. And the calls never seemed to be answered.”

“The b*stard!” Cordelia cursed in a low tone. “He’s obviously playing Zennie! He first approached her and won her heart. He then destroyed her confidence and brainwashed her using various ways, making Zennie think that she won’t survive without him!”

“Yes, men like this do exist, and there are many of them.” Seth nodded. “They specifically target girls like Zennie who are well protected and rich. They use their naivety and kindness and have them wrapped around their hands.

“He’s atrocious, but I still hope I can find him.” Seth licked his lips. “The doer has to undo what he’s done, after all.”

“What?” Cordelia was surprised. “Isn’t Phil working at Hamerton Manor?”

“Is he?” Seth frowned and said, after a moment of silence, “Cordelia, I checked the number. It’s not a local number in Centrolis… And I keep hearing Zennie repeat that he has left and won’t come back again.

“Are you sure Phil’s still in Centrolis?”
