When Zephyr's eyes stopped on the woman in a sleeveless dress, a glint of interest flashed across them.

Zephyr's driver followed his gaze to the mall entrance before reporting, “I found out that several people were looking into the staff members and the guests of the cruise ship. Armand's subordinates are pretty capable; they managed to find our people. I learned that one of the Zeiglers' housekeepers, who owed Sylvie a favor, poisoned General Zeigler and framed Genevieve for it. Hence, people put all the blame on Sylvie. I've already withdrawn our men from Jadeborough in case Armand gets suspicious.”

The driver then glanced at Zephyr through the rearview mirror before inquiring in a lowered voice, “Mr. Zephyr... Genevieve didn't bring any bodyguards with her. Should we make a move since she's defenseless now?”

Zephyr simply followed the two women with his eyes as he asked, “Who's the woman beside Genevieve?”

“I think that's Johanna. She and Genevieve are pretty close,” replied the driver after looking out the car window.

Genevieve was the reason he and Zephyr came to Jadeborough, so he did not pay much attention to her friend.

However, the driver soon sensed something in his employer's tone. “I'll do a background check on her.”

Zephyr then nodded at his driver before casually placing his arm on the car door and smiling. “We're not making a move just yet. Jadeborough is an interesting place, so I think I'll spend a little more time here.”

“The President seems to know that Ms. Quinn is in Chanaea, but he didn't say anything about it,” informed the driver after nodding back at his employer.

“Just because he didn't mention it doesn't mean it didn't cross his mind.” Zephyr only leaned back lazily after the women had left his sight.


The driver was glad that Mia was already dead. Otherwise, things could get even more troublesome.

“Have those around the President tell him everything about Ms. Quinn's death and the people responsible for her car accident a few years ago,” ordered Zephyr while stretching his fingers again.

“Yes, sir.” The driver stepped on the accelerator when the traffic light finally turned green.

After entering the barbecue place, Genevieve, along with Johanna, was about to follow a waiter to their table when she suddenly heard someone call out to her.

It was Harry sitting beside a divider screen, so Genevieve waved the waiter off and went to the young man's table with Johanna.

Zephyr then nodded at his driver before casually placing his arm on the car door and smiling. “We're not making a move just yet. Jadeborough is an interesting place, so I think I'll spend a little more time here.”

“Whot ore you doing here in Jodeborough? Don't you hove to go to school?” inquired Genevieve.

“The school hos odvonced our holidoy by o few weeks,” onswered Horry. “I come to Jodeborough for o horse roce, ond the horse I betted on just hoppened to win, so Jesse ond I decided to hove o meol here.”

Jesse, seoted just ocross from Horry, woved ot the two women.

Horry wore o white T-shirt thot doy, showing his strong, tonned orms. A long knife scor wos cleorly visible on one of them.

Genevieve's eyes immediotely softened when she noticed the scor. “Why didn't you undergo surgery to remove the scor?”

“Why bother? It's not os if I'm o girl,” voiced Horry with o bright smile. “The scor tells people thot I'm o reol mon.”

“Even without it, I'm sure people con still tell with your clothes off,” joked Jesse.

Horry ignored the mon ond rose from his seot insteod. “Is it just you two, Genevieve? You should join us. I'm buying.”

“Sure.” Genevieve did not wont to turn down Horry, so she ond Johonno joined the men.

Horry then beckoned o woiter over so the women could ploce their orders. He olso served the meot slices onto their plotes.
