Upon hearing this, Dwayne Adler from the marketing department gestured at his men.
Then, Yelena looked at Cordelia with a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “I remember that
you’re very good at serving and entertaining other people, right, Ms. Jenner? So, can you do me a
favor and bring me a cup of tea?”
Everyone turned around and looked at Cordelia.
Apparently, the conflict between the legitimate and illegitimate daughter could never be resolved.
Cordelia stood up and looked at her before walking toward the pantry without any expression.
David’s eyelids were twitching. He was covered in a cold sweat when he thought of someone telling
Josiah and Fredric to merge the two companies.
When he was about to stand up and stop Cordelia, something popped up in his mind again.
‘Maybe this is just a coincidence? Maybe both companies had the intention to merge. It just happened
to be at the moment of Cordelia’s incident…’

represented.
He could not and would not offend Yelena for Cordelia. It was just not worth it.
David sat back down, straightened his body, and kept silent as other people did.
Soon, Cordelia returned with a tea tray in her hand. She had prepared a cup of tea for each person,
and a pleasant aroma of tea filled the room.
When she placed the tea in front of Yelena, the latter glanced at the cup of tea. She picked it up, and
instead of drinking it, she took a sniff and frowned.
“This tea…”
The rest of the people put their cups down and looked at her silently.
Yelena let out a cold snort and said, “The color doesn’t seem right. You didn’t wash the cup before
making the tea for us, did you? Ms. Jenner, how can you be so unhygienic? You’re a director. I can’t
believe that you can’t even do such a simple thing.
“You should be lucky that you’re serving me today,” Yelena crossed her arms in front of her chest and
said, “If it were other people, you would be making a fool of yourself. Ms. Jenner, don’t forget that you
represent our company in front of our client. I hope a mistake like this won’t happen again,
understand?”
Cordelia just looked at her silently.
“Yes, I understand that I represent my company, so I served you with the highest quality tea.”
“This is your highest quality tea?”
“This is a tea from a renowned tea brand known as Harley & Sons.” Cordelia chuckled. “Have you not
drunk it before?”
Yelena’s expression changed. The rest of the people covered their smiles behind their cups.
Feeling humiliated, Yelena jerked up and glared at Cordelia.
“So? The teas that my father gave me are much better than this! Don’t you dare fool me with this tea!
I’ve never heard of it before!”

“Ms. Yelena, you’re wrong.” Dwayne let out a dry laugh. “We only use tea from Harley & Sons to
entertain our guests. I heard that the Hamertons from Centrolis like the tea from this company as well,
and they’re one of their biggest customers.”
“Yeah.” Someone chimed in. “Are you sure you haven’t heard of this brand of tea before, Ms. Yelena?”
“You…”
Yelena gritted her teeth, and her face was pale with anger.
The way Cordelia glanced at her made her feel even more humiliated.
She flew into a rage and grabbed the cup of tea, attempting to splash it at Cordelia.
Cordelia had expected her action and nimbly evaded to the side.
The hot tea was splashed onto the wall, and the cup fell to the floor, smashing into pieces.
The meeting room fell silent, and everyone looked at Yelena in disbelief.
“Ms. Yelena, you…”
Both directors’ faces sank. If they worked with her, there would be endless trouble.
