“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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter 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 left, Cordelia packed and followed behind, prepared to
familiarize herself with her working environment.
Just as she got to the lobby on the first floor, which was bustling with people, she heard someone call
her from the back.
“Cordelia!”
The moment she turned around, she was greeted with a hard slap!
Her mind blanked as she held her throbbing cheek. It felt like the world fell into a vacuum with
countless gazes trained on her. She looked up to see Yelena standing in front of her pompously and
glaring at her like she was going to swallow her alive.
“You little b*tch!” She raised her voice to insult Cordelia. “You acted like you’re not interested in the
Jenners’ assets, and you finally showed your true colors! You and your shameless mother are the
same! Sl*ts!”
“Yelena!” Cordelia trembled slightly. “Stop the accusations! I’ve never been interested in the Jenners’
wealth, but the chairman asked me to come today and gave me the shares! Argue with the board if
you’re capable. What right do you have to raise your voice here!?”
“Heh, trying to oppress me with dad? You b*tch, don’t think I don’t know how you goaded him!
“Oh, yeah.” Yelena turned to face the crowd and sneered. “You guys have no idea what this Ms.
Jenner’s husband is like, right?
“He’s an infamous thug! Fights and prison are common for him!”
Cordelia clenched her fists. It felt like all her blood had rushed up to her head.
“But this baby sister of mine likes taking in pieces of trash! No matter how useless her man is, she likes
giving him money to spend!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYelena’s cackle was shrill. “Hah… Why, Cordelia? You like him so much?”
She dragged her voice on purpose, so everyone in the lobby could hear it.
Cordelia flushed. The comments around her felt like blades cutting her. The disdainful and disdainful
gazes felt like hailstones storming on her.
She bit her lips and met Yelena’s sinister eyes. At the same time, she caught William coming
downstairs out of the corner of her eyes.
Cordelia paused and took a deep breath to force herself to stay calm.
She said softly, “Yelena, watch your behavior. It’s not nice to speak like this in the company.”
Yelena crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at Cordelia. “Oh? You’d be worried about this?”
“I’m just worried that it’d affect us, the Jenners.” Cordelia intentionally emphasized the word “us”.
William was an egoistic man. No matter how split up his family was, he forbade them from being a joke
to the outsiders. For Yelena to kick up such a fuss in public, there was no doubt that she was digging
her own grave.
