Marcus did not say anything, but his breathing grew more labored.His phone buzzed as the email arrived. He browsed the information.As expected, Nicholas did have a grudge against the real Marcus.Robert was still speaking. “Sir, Nicholas went to prison for intentionally harming someone when he was 18. He was sentenced to ten years but got out two years earlier due to his stellar behavior in there.“He’s done well in Jangasas these two years, taking over several big groups. There are also rumors saying that he got up to where he is by instigating a few bosses and eliminating them in the dark.”Marcus’ brows were furrowed as he rubbed his temples softly.“Nicholas has a number of bars and clubs under him now, but they are only fronts. He’s full of illegal dealings.”He asked in a low voice, “What was he like in prison?”Robert coughed. “He was pretty much a head in there. It’s said that criminals are ranked too. People like Nicholas, who got imprisoned for killing or injuring p

Cordelia’s head was tilted. A wash of indifference flashed across her pretty face.“My decision is… I refuse to,” she said without any hesitation.The answer was slightly out of Zephyr’s expectations, but he wanted to know what his wife was thinking.“I grew up in an abnormal family.” Cordelia rested against him and said slowly, “Dad’s nothing more than a noun, mom’s never had a clear mind, and I had to take care of my younger brother. I also had to endure Joanne and Yelena’s bullying and insults. I honestly don’t know what the Jenners have brought me.“This family has never given me warmth. There’s no need for me to contribute to the Jenners either.” Cordelia looked up at him. “I’m already your wife. I’m Mrs. Grist. I’m no longer related to the Jenners. Moreover, my dad’s intention in asking me to go back isn’t pure. I don’t want to be his chess piece.“Darling…” Cordelia wrapped her arms around his waist. “I just want the two of us to enjoy our lives without thinking about anyth

“Does that mean Ms. Yelena has completely lost her right?”“Hard to tell… Mr. Jenner was furious when she got conned the last time. I mean, how’s that kind of brain managing a huge group like this?”Cordelia heard all the whispered comments and tried hard to close them off.Marcus had told her before. Whatever happened, she had to respond with composure. The calmer she was, the better she could figure out a solution. One would lose their cool easily when they panicked.Once she thought of her husband, she smiled a little and felt more relaxed.The board meeting began as scheduled.William made a brief introduction of Cordelia in the meeting and assigned her corresponding duties. The shareholders watched silently. Even when they were in doubt, they kept up enough of a facade to welcome Cordelia.After all, there was no set outcome yet. No one dared guarantee what the future would be like. It would be the wisest choice not to offend anyone.When the meeting ended and everyone lef

“You—”Cordelia took a step forward, “Sister, we’re the Jenners. We’re from the same family. We’re together in weal and woe. You being humiliated would mean that dad is also humiliated. If you want to throw a tantrum at me in the future, do it somewhere that’s just us. You can do whatever you want to me. But never humiliate dad in public!”Yelena turned pale. She stared right at her.Cordelia’s every word struck the crucial points. No matter how dumb Yelena was, she dared not lash out at the moment. “Hah, I never thought you pretended to be carefree before, yet you’re brutal when you fight!”Cordelia looked cold as she enunciated each word. “I just want to be at peace with you.”Yelena turned around and left after a scoff.Watching her leave, Cordelia accidentally peeped at William’s pleased face.She suddenly felt a little sad.In reality, Cordelia and Yelena were just chess pieces that were played. What was the meaning of winning?She said softly, “Dad, I’m going back to t

The man’s strong arms hugged her tightly. Looking into his deep eyes, Cordelia suddenly recalled him saying, “We have to get down to business after you eat!”Cordelia’s cheeks flushed, and she held her head low. Just like that, she allowed him to hug her like a good girl.She said shyly, “Hubby, l-let’s wait a little bit.”Zephyr was stunned. “Wait a little bit?”“Didn’t you say you wanted to… Ah! Just wait a little bit. I ate too much!”Zephyr only realized what she was saying after a moment. Holding back his laughter, he said to her with his shaking voice, “I’m taking you out.”Stunned, Cordelia stared at him with her blinking eyes.“What…”Zephyr patted her head.Was he usually too lewd that she had a conditioned reflex to that? She immediately thought of that when he said they would get down to business…He was the one who taught her to think that!He smirked, failing to hide the pride in his smile.Cordelia clenched her fist and punched his chest hard.“Marcus!”“Oka
