Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.

“Okay, I got it. As soon as they arrive, have someone stop their car immediately and then bring Zephyr to me.”

“Yes, Mrs. Xuereb.” On the other side, a black sedan was driving along Haltwind Road, and Zephyr leaned against the car window, staring blankly at the snowy landscape outside.

Just now, he kept smiling at his grandfather's house, not wanting to let his grandfather worry. Veronique was at a critical moment; if she could pull through, their family would have a happy ending.

However, if she couldn't make it through, she would die, and Justin would follow her in death. Although he couldn't bear the pain of losing his parents at the same time, he didn't want to force his father to stay.

If his mother left, forcing his father to stay behind would be a cruel act. He didn't want to see his father living like a walking corpse daily.

If that was the case, he would rather have Justin join his mother in death. Just now, his grandfather advised him, telling him to learn how to persuade his father and save his father's life. But he had different plans. He would rather be without his parents' company than see them separated.

The road to heaven was lonely. With the company of Justin, Veronique wouldn't be lonely along the way.

Screech!

A sudden screech of brakes snapped Zephyr's wandering thoughts back to reality. In the next moment, the bodyguard's voice came from the driver's seat.

“Mr. Zephyr, we've been stopped. It seems they're targeting you.”

Zephyr calmed himself down and scanned around outside the car window. As he gazed at the luxurious cars parked by the roadside, his heart suddenly sank. He hadn't figured out the other party's intentions so that he couldn't act rashly for the time being, or else it might bring about fatal consequences.

“Go and ask who they are and what they want to do.”

“Yes.”

After the bodyguard got out of the car, Zephyr quickly took out his phone and sent a text message to Zayron.

I've run into some trouble. Can you send a few people to help me out? I'll send you my location now.

Three seconds later, the other party replied with a message.

All right, I'll be there in 20 minutes. Play some mind games with them for a bit, but don't take any action on your own.

After reading the text message, he prepared to send a reply when the bodyguard who went out to investigate returned at that moment and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Zephyr, it's Mrs. Xuereb. She would like to see you. What's your plan?”

Mrs. Xuereb? Why does that old witch suddenly want to meet me? It must be up to no good.

“What if I don't? What do they want?”

“I think she will send someone to bring you over, then. Mr. Zephyr, there are too many of them, and it's almost impossible for us to break through.”

Zephyr rolled his eyes, thoughts racing quickly.

That old biddy is hoping for Justin to marry Scarlett. If they kill me, it would be hard for them to handle the situation, and Dad would probably go all out to find them. So, I guess they won't dare do anything to me at the moment.

After realizing that, he was no longer afraid and reached out to open the car door.

Upon seeing that, the bodyguard quickly reached out to stop him.

“Mr. Zephyr, their intentions are unclear. You cannot take the risk of meeting her. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Mr. Xuereb.”

Zephyr waved his hand and said coldly, “No worries, even if I don't go out, she will send someone to bring me over, anyway. I might as well take the initiative. When you went to check on them just now, I contacted Zayron. He'll be here soon; we only need to stall for 20 minutes.”

The bodyguard saw his determined attitude and noticed several people in black approaching from a distance; he gritted his teeth and reluctantly let go of his arm.

“Please be careful.”

“Um.”

Zephyr hopped off the car, led by two people in black, and walked to the other side before diving into the back of the car. As soon as he entered, he was choked by the thick fog filling the car.

He thought the old witch was trying to use a stupefying drug on him and instinctively wanted to leave. However, the people outside didn't give him a chance to get off the vehicle. With a loud bang, the sliding door closed directly. Zephyr looked warily at Olivia across from him, his eyes dancing with a wild, beast-like flame.

“What exactly do you want to do? After all, I am a member of the Xuereb family. Are you really going to exterminate me? If I die, I'm afraid the mother-son relationship between you and your son will come to an end. Is it worth it to damage your bond for someone like me?”

A hint of peculiarity flashed across Olivia's eyes. She wanted to get rid of him once and for all, but she knew very well that if he died, Justin would cut off ties with her.

The loss outweighed the gain Just before Zephyr entered, she sprayed all the potion from the bottle into the air. He was completely tainted, and her goal had been achieved. There was no need to complicate the matter.
