Cordelia was absolutely livid. What’s his problem? How is he so thick–skinned? He’s still grinning

cheerfully even though I’ve insulted him, as if he enjoys it. What a pervert!

Emrys finally spoke. “Judging by your bright smile, you must be in a good mood, Huxley Bjorn.”

Huxley’s gaze hardened when Emrys spoke. A fleeting glint of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes as he

looked down because Emrys had called his name.

Cordelia had also called him that, but Huxley wasn’t mad at all. Instead, he found Cordelia adorable.

The more Cordelia berated him, the more excited he became.

Just as Cordelia had speculated, Huxley was indeed a pervert. He’d be ecstatic whenever a beautiful

woman scolded him. The prettier the woman was, the more exhilarated he’d get.

However, it was a different story when it came to men.

He was irked when Emrys called his name, and he sneered. “Honeybeauty Group’s ‘Pretty Face‘ is

selling like hotcakes. Of course, I’m in a good mood. I don’t need you to point that out.”

After a moment of contemplation, Emrys said, “I wish you could keep smiling like this, but unfortunately,

‘World–Enchanting Beauty‘ is going to be released in three days. I doubt your good mood will last much

longer.”

Huxley’s face immediately took on a peculiar expression.

Cordelia was taken aback, too. She quickly pulled Emrys aside and asked, “What are you talking

about? How come I didn’t know ‘World–Enchanting Beauty‘ is going to be launched in three days?”

Emrys said with a smile, “It was a spur–of–the–moment decision.”

Cordelia was momentarily speechless, giving him a pinch. “Do you realize that before a new product is

launched, it needs to be advertised first? Your last–minute decision doesn’t give us enough time to

promote it.”

The previous charity auction served as the best promotional event for “World–Enchanting Beauty.” If it

weren’t for the interference from Honeybeauty Group, this product could have been launched at any

time, as the promotional effect had already been achieved.

However, the situation changed drastically when Honeybeauty Group launched “Pretty Face” first.

It was only natural for one to strike first and gain the upper hand when the effects of the two products

were nearly identical. Currently, the skincare market was almost entirely dominated by Honeybeauty

Group, with no room left for “World–Enchanting Beauty” to survive unless Cordelia Group lowered their

prices and ventured into the lower–end market.

However, that would be a losing deal, and they would not be able to compete with Honeybeauty Group

for the time being.

Hence, when Emrys said earlier that Huxley’s triumph would not last long, it sounded like a huge joke

to those in the industry.

Cordelia rubbed her forehead and said, “Rys, you’re oversimplifying matters in the business world”

Yet, Emrys didn’t seem to pay Cordelia’s words any heed. “Delia, I have confidence in our product.”

“This has nothing to do with confidence…”

Before Cordelia could say anything else, Emrys approached Huxley. “How about we make a bet? I bet

World–Enchanting Beauty‘ will outperform your company’s ‘Pretty Face, when it launches. Dare to

bet?”

This brat is crazy. Huxley sneered but still asked, “What’s the stake?”

“If you lose, you must hold a press conference and publicly disclose how you obtained the facial mask

formula, and apologize to Cordelia Group.”

“Oh?” Huxley wore a playful smile, asking, “What if you lose?”

“You can do whatever you want to me.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in you. How about this? If you lose, your sister will have to come and

serve me for an evening.”

Once again, Huxley couldn’t resist glancing at Cordelia, almost drooling with lust.

Emrys‘ gaze turned cold as he said, “I could never use my sister as a stake in a gamble.”
