Wilfred scoffed as he believed that the assassin from Shadow Garden was the reason for Benedict’s confidence.
Benedict lay twitching on the ground in pain, barely able to utter a word. His face was swollen and bruised. Yet, his eyes still
glimmered with defiance.
Wilfred, however, refrained from delivering the final blow. Instead, he ordered his b*dyguards to take Benedict back and imprison
him. He intended to inflict further torment once the assassin from Shadow Garden walked into their trap.
Before leaving, Wilfred cast a contemptuous glance at Osmond and the others. “Your so–called backer is nothing but garbage in
my eyes. Remember, from this day on, I, Wilfred, am the almighty man in Jadeborough!”
He laughed arrogantly, confident in his superiority.
Had it not been for Benedict’s stubbornness, Wilfred wouldn’t have bothered dealing with these useless fools.
Meanwhile, Angelina held her head high, feeling smug to the core.
The Chalker family was already formidable, and now with the addition of a martial arts expert as their uncle, it was only a matter
of time before they dominated Jadeborough.
She had made the right choice by marrying into the Chalker family.
“Cordelia, you think you’re so outstanding, but no matter how exceptional you are, you will always be inferior to me. Forever and
ever!”
When the Chalkers ruled over Jadeborough, Osmond would be driven out of the region.
Cordelia’s situation would inevitably deteriorate without the support and protection of her influential backer, Osmond.
That day would arrive soon.
Whenever Angelina thought of Cordelia’s upcoming plight, she couldn’t help but smirk in anticipation.
Even after the Chalkers departed, Osmond and the rest stayed rooted on the spot for a long time, their expressions glum.
They knew that the Chalker family would undoubtedly be annihilated once Emrys made a move.
However, they had to wait for another two or three days for that to happen.
Normally, such a short period of time would pass in the blink of an eye, but now, each day felt

like a year.
The memory of the humiliation they had just endured and the arrogant expression on Wilfred’s face weighed heavily on their
minds. They were eager for the day of the Chalker family’s banquet to arrive.
If only Empyrean Lord could take action immediately.
Unbeknownst to them, Emrys was not at Jadeborough at the moment, which was why he couldn’t make a move. He had little
interest in current affairs too, and so remained unaware that the city had undergone a drastic change.
More importantly, Caylie and Yelena had initially refrained from informing them as they were concerned about the potential
impact on Cordelia’s project.
Meanwhile, Osmond and his men firmly believed that their lord had his own plans and intended to settle this score on Tyson’s
sixtieth birthday.
In truth, if Osmond were to inform Emrys about the matter now, the latter would undoubtedly storm into the Chalker family’s
Meanwhile, a man and a woman sat in the grand reception hall of the Gage Group headquarters located in Summerbank. The
man exuded an air of confidence with his well–groomed appearance and charismatic smile, while the woman captivated all who
laid eyes on her.
The man was Emrys while the woman was Cordelia.
Shortly after, a woman dressed in black stockings and high heels pushed open the door and walked in. She apologized, “I’m very
sorry, but Mr. Gage is not meeting any visitors today. I’m afraid you’ll have to leave.”
“Not meeting visitors? But we made an appointment in advance, didn’t we?” Cordelia’s brows furrowed in displeasure.
Before coming to Summerbank, she had already arranged a meeting with the boss of Gage Group. They had been waiting for
quite some time, only to be met with such a dismissive
response..
It was utterly disrespectful.
Though visibly annoyed, Cordelia refrained from complaining too much. After all, she was the one seeking their assistance.
Just then, a middle–aged man in a well–tailored suit arrived at the entrance. The secretary immediately greeted him with a smile
and said, “Mr. Yves, please come this way. Mr. Gage has been waiting for quite some time.”
The sudden change in attitude was astounding.
Cordelia naturally felt indignant. She stood up and questioned the secretary, “Didn’t you just say

that Mr. Gage was not receiving visitors today?”
The secretary didn’t respond to her question immediately. Instead, she escorted the middle–aged man to her boss‘ office before
returning to the reception hall. “Ms. Youngblood, Mr. Gage has already reviewed your company’s information.”
