SWNOVELS Chapter 102
Cordelia walked up to Yelena silently and grabbed her arm.
Yelena was about to shout at her, but Cordelia shut her up with a glare.
Cordelia rarely adopted a stern face, and she was no longer the pushover she
used to be. Yelena’s heart skipped a beat. The corner of her lips twitched, and
she didn’t dare to make even the slightest sound.
People always said that spouses would influence each other in terms of their
behavior. Could it be that after marrying Marcus, Cordelia had finally shed away
her gentle nature and become as ruthless as Marcus was?
“What are you trying to do?”
Cordelia pitched her voice low, and her eyes were filled with menace as she
stared fixedly at Yelena. “Sis, I represent the company, and you represent our
father and the Jenners. Are you trying to disgrace our father by being so
unreasonable?”
Yelena looked at her in astonishment and clenched her fists tightly.
“Are you aware of the consequences if that cup of tea landed on me just now?
There are so many people in the company. There ought to be someone who
wants to get famous and expose the video to the public. As Party A, the Jenners
humiliated and physically assaulted Party B staff for no reason. No matter how I
look at it, it sounds just like the perfect headline for the newspaper!
“Sis, our father is someone who values his reputation above everything else.
What do you think he'll do to you?”
Yelena's face turned red, and she couldn't mutter a single word.
Cordelia let out a cold smirk and released her arm. “Sis, I'll give you some
advice. Since you've come out to work, you should mind your words and actions.
After all, I'm one of the Jenners. I don’t want to be dragged down by you!
“I guess Ms. Jenner isn't into this cup of tea.” Cordelia raised her voice and said,
a smile dancing at the corner of her lips, “I should go and get another one for
you.”
After that, she turned around gracefully and left the meeting room.
“Hah, since she doesn’t know how to appreciate a cup of good tea, I'll just give
her a cup of plain water then!
When the thought surfaced in Cordelia’s head, she smiled.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
In fact, she did not know Harney & Sons either. It was because Marcus had
made this kind of tea for her before. It was also Marcus who taught her how to
make the tea.
She had not taken it to heart at that time since she was not a tea enthusiast.
It was just that she did not expect the Hamertons from Centrolis to like this brand
of tea and that it was very expensive.
An idea flitted across her head.
“Could it be that Marcus..."
However, she soon rejected the idea as it was too ridiculous. It was just a slightly
more expensive brand of tea. It was not something rare at all. She shouldn't have
related them together. Marcus was Marcus. There was no way he could be
related to the Hamertons.
The meeting could have ended in an hour and a half, but it was delayed until the
end of the day because of Yelena’s drama.
After work, Cordelia dragged herself back to her home. She threw herself on the
couch when she entered her house and let out a long sigh.
Marcus brought her a cup of water.
“Thank you.”
“You look tired.” He sat beside her and placed his hand on her forehead. “Are you
sick?”
Cordelia shook her head and let out a bitter smile. “Maybe it's because of the hot
weather, so I look a bit tired. Are you hungry? I'll go make us dinner.”
“Ah, you don’t have to.” Marcus pushed her back on the couch.
He realized that she had lost quite a lot of weight. He could even feel her
shoulder blades with his palm, and an idea popped into his head.
“Cordelia, why don’t we eat out today?”
She blinked and asked, “Where are we going then?”
