Chapter 198 Confronting Huxley
The department manager frowned and said, “If the two of you were invited by Mr. Bjorn, you must have
an invitation. So, please present it.”
“You’re really d*mn annoying. Can’t a person eat in peace?” Emrys said, clearly irritated.
The department manager’s face instantly darkened in response. “You’re making things difficult for me if
you refuse to present your invitation card.”
He was even more certain that they had sneaked in without permission.
“Difficult, huh? Then don’t bother concerning yourself with it!” Emrys became unreasonable all of a
sudden and kicked the buffet table over. This startled Cordelia, but she quickly realized that Emrys was
deliberately causing trouble.
As expected, the department manager’s expression turned.extremely grim, and he hastily summoned a
few security guards to apprehend Emrys.
The commotion instantly drew everyone’s attention. Huxley pushed through the crowd and came over,
asking, “What’s going on?”
The department manager respectfully said, “These two were acting strangely. I asked them to show

Splat!
No sooner had the department manager finished speaking, than an oil–stained invitation suddenly flew
toward him, sticking to his face.
Emrys looked at Huxley with displeasure and said, “If this isn’t an invitation, then what is it? What’s
wrong? Are we not allowed to eat? Then why did Mr. Bjorn invite us over? To watch you subordinates
fawn over and flatter him? Is this how Mr. Bjórn taught you to treat honored guests?”
The department manager peeled the sticky invitation off his face, a hint of anger flickering in his eyes.
“Why didn’t you show your invitation earlier-”
Slap!
Before the department manager could finish his sentence, Huxley had already slapped him across the
face. “Shut up, you ignorant fool! Hurry up and apologize to our esteemed guests?”
The department manager was seething with anger, but he dared not refute Huxley’s words. Grinding
his teeth in frustration, he said reluctantly, “I apologize for misunderstanding both of you.”
Huxley waved his hand dismissively. “Nothing to see here.”
Immediately, the onlookers who had been enjoying the spectacle all pretended as if nothing had
happened and walked away. The department manager also left with a gloomy expression on his face.
Once everyone had left, Huxley finally spoke. “You must be Emrys. I’ve received the message you

conveyed through my sister. You told me God is watching, but I’ve never believed in God. I only believe
in myself.”
Huxley had already investigated Emrys and knew the latter was an orphan in Sunshine Children’s
Home, Cordelia’s younger brother, and Jadeborough’s renowned Dr. Lund who suddenly rose to fame.
As for the other details, he didn’t bother looking into, nor was there a need to.
Even if he wanted to delve deeper, he could only uncover some superficial information, identities that
Emrys did not bother to conceal.

silent.
“Why do you say so?”
Huxley was not the least bit angry. Instead, he looked at Cordelia with a wide smile and marveled
inwardly. She’s indeed drop–dead gorgeous and manages to dazzle anyone who sees her even though
she hadn’t made any particular effort to doll herself up today. I’d be in the prime of my life if I could get
a woman like her to climb into bed with me and take off her clothes.
The lecherous look in Huxley’s eyes displeased Cordelia, and she frowned. “You know exactly what I
mean. How could you stoop so low as to steal the formula using such underhanded tactics?”
Huxley said shamelessly, “Ms. Youngblood, how can you say that? I took the initiative to share your
burden because I was worried that a young lady like you might overwork yourself and fall sick. You
should praise me for being considerate instead of calling me shameless.”
“Shameless! You’re utterly shameless!” chided Cordelia.
Huxley laughed. “Not only are you pretty, but you’re also adorable when scolding me. I’d really love to
have a drink with you.”
“Who would want to drink with a shameless person like you?”
