SWNOVELS Chapter 109
When Cordelia came to work the next day, she felt that everyone was looking at
her in a strange way.
She did not know what had happened at all. While she was working, Annie
knocked on the door and entered her office. She went closer to her and
whispered into her ear happily, “Everyone in the company is talking about it. Your
husband is a genius!”
Cordelia was stunned. “What do you mean?”
“The stock market!” Annie waved her phone. “There are a lot of things happening
on the market right now! Did you not see it?”
Cordelia was not interested in the stock market, so she rarely paid attention to it.
However, after listening to what Annie said, she became curious about it.
She looked at the market trend and realized that Marcus was right!
She frowned slightly as a strange feeling rose from her stomach pit.
“I heard that those people in the marketing department bought Crane Industry’s
stocks, and they're now losing money!” Annie said, grinning from ear to ear at
their misfortune, “They want to sell those stocks, but no one wants to buy them!
“Mr. Adler from our department is a lot better than them. He secretly told his
friend at the stock exchange firm to sell those stocks in the morning and buy
other stocks... Hah, I can even imagine the big smile on his face now.”
Cordelia forced a smile on her face. Her brain was a muddled mess right now,
and she felt like she was walking in a fog.
“Since when did Marcus become so good at investment? Maybe he’s just lucky?
He likes to read financial news and pay attention to the rise and fall of the stock
market. Maybe that’s how he manages to analyze the situation of the stock
market correctly.’
It was just that Cordelia still felt somewhat strange. She felt that something was
wrong but couldn't say what was wrong.
She used to be alone during lunch hour. However, when she came to the
canteen today, she was surrounded by a group of staff.
“Ms. Jenner, come over here!”
“It's okay. II—" Before she could reject the invitation, someone forced her to sit
down.
Someone had already bought a meal for her and put it on the table in front of her.
She looked at the food, and it was several times more expensive than what she
usually ate.
Everyone was complimenting her. Some of them even asked her which stocks
were going to rise next week.
Cordelia was caught between tears and laughter. She did not even have the time
to eat her meal.
“Cordelia, who is your husband? Is he a genius in investment?”
“I already told you guys that her husband doesn’t look ordinary from the first time
I saw him at the banquet last time. The way he walks and the way he talks...
There's no way he could be an ordinary man!”
“Hah! Why do I remember that you were the one who said he’s a thug?”
You..=
They began to fight against each other. Cordelia just looked at them and smiled
awkwardly.
In the past, these people had been looking down on her. They did not think she
deserved to be their supervisor, but now, all of them were trying their very best to
curry favor with her.
Cordelia let out a sigh helplessly.
She was not very sociable, but she understood that if you wanted others to be
kind to you, you needed to be kind to the other first. It was not something that
could be earned with a few flattering words.
“Cordelia, what does your husband do for a living?”
“Huh?” Cordelia was stunned for a moment before replying, “He's a coach at a
boxing club. But he likes to study stock markets and investment during his free
time.”
“Wow! That's amazing!” Someone said, “We don’t have to eat lunch with an
investment genius. We just need to have a meal with Cordelia to get rich!”
Their laughter echoed throughout the canteen.
In the distance, Yelena was looking at them. She had lost her appetite and
clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers were turning white.
She had planned to humiliate Cordelia by making Marcus look like a fool the
previous night.
She did not expect that her plan would backfire!
Her gaze was filled with hatred. She bit her lips tightly and just wanted to rip
Cordelia apart and drink her blood.
