Cordelia’s ears perked up, and her guard was immediately up as well. She looked back and saw a
woman who was dressed with thick makeup smile flirtatiously at Marcus. Her glass shook slightly in her
hand, and when she went closer to Marcus, she pulled the slit of her dress to show her fair legs.
Cordelia suddenly found the voice to be familiar.
“Giselle?” She paused. It seemed that Yelena brought along her best friend wherever she went.
When they were in school last time, Giselle Lawler would often bully Cordelia with Yelena. The school
later dismissed her due to her poor grades and frequent reports of being found smoking in clubs.
The comments about Giselle in the high society of Jangasas were not great either. She was only able
to act brazenly because of Yelena’s support.
Cordelia was annoyed. She forgot about networking with her clients and walked briskly to Marcus in

“Handsome, isn’t it boring to drink alone?” Giselle approached Marcus swaying her hips. “Why don’t we
—”
“Why don’t the two of us have a drink?” A cold voice rang suddenly.
Giselle was shocked, looking up to meet Cordelia’s sharp eyes.
Marcus was also stunned before he smiled in amusement. Cordelia put him behind her, met Giselle’s
provocative gaze, and scoffed, “Why? Don’t you know me anymore? You snatched my homework to
copy it when we were in school, and now you want to snatch my man?”
“Well, who else if it isn’t Cordelia!” Giselle chuckled. “What are you saying? I want to get to know this
handsome man, and I’m snatching your man? You weren’t standing here just now. How would I know
of your relationship?”
“You know now, right?” Cordelia stared at her. “Leave now that you know!”
Marcus held Cordelia’s waist without a sound. He noticed the woman’s tightly clenched fists and her
shaking body out of anger. Yet, she was determined with an aggressive gaze, like she would kill
whoever dared hit on her man.
He chuckled inwardly, not expecting himself to hide behind a woman one day. It was a feeling he liked,
though.
“Oh, I remember! This is the thug you married?” Giselle scanned Marcus blatantly. “I heard that he’s
always causing trouble fighting and even gone to jail!”
Cordelia rolled her eyes and hooked arms with Marcus to leave.
Despite that, Giselle went up and hooked Marcus’ other arm. Her gaze was seductive. “Handsome, do
you know that Cordelia’s an illegitimate daughter of the Jenners? No one in the Jenners likes her, and

“Why don’t you come with me?” Giselle’s fingers climbed up. “I’m rich and hot. There are a lot of guys
after me! It’d be a waste of your face to be together with Cordelia—”
“Enough!” Cordelia shoved her away.
Giselle stumbled and nearly knocked a table over. The noise caused everyone nearby to look over.
“Giselle, have some shame!” Cordelia said through her gritted teeth, “Are all the men dead that you
have to flirt with my husband!?”
Murmurs of comments broke out from the surroundings while some people’s mocking gazes felt like
sharp knives that were slowly slicing up Cordelia’s pride. Even when she felt that she was not wrong,
her husband being hit on was nothing to be proud of. She did not want to fight for her man like a
frenzied woman in public either.
She dipped her head and bit her lips.
