Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 633

Zephyr nodded lightly with a squint.

It was true. That man had repeatedly used Marcus to hurt Cordelia, used Matthew and Yale's stupidity to cause trouble in the Hamertons, and used Zennie's naivety and innocence to manipulate her mentally. He even wanted to distribute drugs in the bar Josiah had shares in to ruin the Bayers' reputation.

All these people were related to Zephyr.

It was just that Zephyr could not figure out when he had ever offended Phil. Why did he want to target the Hamertons and him like this?

It was true that he was ruthless and merciless in the business world. He forced people to the extent of bankruptcy and made lots of enemies, but that was simply the law of the business jungle, where it was also the survival of the fittest.

He had expanded his business empire under the premise of following all the rules.

Moreover, Phil was not even his business rival. He was just an employee of the Hamertons.

In Zephyr's impression, he had never mistreated any Hamerton employee. Yes, he had a resting b*tch face most of the time, but he was nice to those who worked for the Hamertons.

The Hamertons' remuneration and benefits had always been at the top of the pyramid, which was also why the Hamerton Group attracted a large batch of talented people each year. Of course, those who made mistakes were exceptions.

"Could it be that..." Zephyr furrowed his brows. "Phil's family member did something wrong, and how it was managed at that time upset him, so he wants revenge?"

Cordelia thought about it and opened up the laptop to log into the Hamertons' internal system and checked the recent years' staff turnover record.

The turnover record was detailed, and there were other Nelsons but not Phil.

Cordelia called Clark. "Do you know why the Nelsons left their job?"

Clark explained, "They mentioned resigning last year. The Nelson parents haven't been in good health and can't keep working, so they went back to their hometown for rest." "But we didn't know this." Cordelia was perplexed.

"Yeah, because their rank was too low, so the subordinates didn't bring this up to us. They followed the procedure and completed the resignation for them."

Cordelia nodded.

The Hamerton Group was gigantic. It was impossible that the higher-ups decided every single matter.

The HR department could call the shots in small things like resignation if the reason was proper and the procedure was legal. The signature from a superior was simply part of the procedure. Furthermore, turnover was a normal thing everywhere. People were leaving and joining every day. No one would ask for the details just because two elderly permanent workers wanted to retire and go back home.

Cordelia continued to check the record and realized that the time the Nelson folks left the Hamertons was when she came to Centrolis. It was also when Marcus nearly got his way with her.

She shuddered as the bad memories rushed out within Cordelia like a tide.

"Honey, it's okay..." Zephyr hugged her gently.

Cordelia took a few deep breaths to calm down and smiled up at him. "I'm not that weak..."

Zephyr smiled.

No matter when it was, even if she had turned into the strongest woman in the world, she would still be the petite woman he wanted to keep in his arms and protect well.

"Zephyr, now that Lukas has confessed and we have more evidence. Next, we'll be..."

"We stay put and wait," Zephyr answered.

Cordelia chortled. "How do you want to stay put, and how do you want to wait?"
