Marcus hung up the call and took a few seconds to calm himself down. After that, he decided to make
a call to Cordelia to ensure she was okay.
The voice that came from another side of the line was weak and filled with reluctance.
“Honey, my directors insist on inviting our client to dinner tonight… Sigh. I’m sure you know our biggest
client is Yelena, so I have to go with them.”
“Alright. Don’t worry,” replied Marcus. He did not tell her that Yelena had called him. “Where are you
now? Send me your location. I’ll go pick you up later.”
“Okay,” Cordelia replied with a smile. Then, she sent the location to him.
Marcus crossed-checked with the address Yelena gave him to confirm that they were at the same
place. Initially, he was worried that Yelena was plotting something against Cordelia, so she wanted to
send him somewhere else. But now it seemed like Yelena was not lying to him.
‘But why did she make this call specifically to ask me to go to their dinner party as well?’
Marcus fell deep in thought.
No matter what she was up to, he should go there to be on the safe side.
…
Everyone started to become excited halfway through the dinner. A few men were persuading each
other to drink more while complimenting Yelena.
Cordelia had never been fond of such social occasions, so she felt even more tired now.
She kept looking at her watch. Strangely enough, every minute and second felt extremely slow. The
dinner was far from over. The two directors of the sales department and the marketing department
were still fighting with each other, and she felt annoyed. Just when she was going to find an excuse
and go out to get some fresh air, Yelena shouted, “Hey guys, stop for a moment!”
Everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at her.
“We’ll have a special guest later!” Yelena turned to look at Cordelia and smiled coldly, “Cordelia, you’re
my sister, after all. Although you married a man of lower status, he’s still my brother-in-law. So, don’t

“What?” Cordelia’s heart skipped a beat. “You called Marcus here?”
Before Yelena could say anything, someone knocked on the door.
Marcus came in through the door, and Cordelia’s brain went blank for a moment.
She was certain that Yelena was up to no good. The only reason she had called him here was to
humiliate him!
Cordelia got anxious and hastily ran over to Marcus. She grabbed his hand gently, but he just turned
his head around and gave her an assuring smile.
Just as Cordelia was thinking about how to get Marcus out of this predicament, Yelena came forward
and said with a loud voice, “Let me introduce you all! He’s my brother-in-law, Marcus!”
Marcus looked around and nodded at them. However, the people in the room seemed to be able to
sense a domineering aura from him, and they all avoided his gaze.
Yelena smiled and continued. “Don’t just stand there, Cordelia! Hurry up and bring your husband to the
table! We still have a lot of food left! After all, I’m sure he hasn’t been to such a high-class restaurant
before. He’s so lucky to have you as his wife!”
Cordelia wanted to say something to defend Marcus, but he grabbed her hand and stopped her.
Marcus pulled the chair calmly and sat beside Cordelia.
Although he did not speak from the moment he came in, he had a regal air around him, and even
someone as knowledgeable as David couldn’t help himself but frown slightly and start to observe him.
Yelena was the only one who thought that Marcus was a poor man, and she would stop at nothing to
humiliate Cordelia.
“What have you been doing lately, Marcus? Did you learn any marketing or trading skills from Cordelia?
“Cordelia, you should also teach your husband some marketing or trading skills. If not, the gap between
you two will only get larger, and you’ll only end up going your separate ways. After all, your husband is
pretty undereducated. He has been to prison several times, and I’m sure he didn’t pick up any useful
skills inside.”
Cordelia glared at her. “Yelena, do you like the dishes tonight?”
Marcus hung up the call and took a few seconds to calm himself down. After that, he decided to make
a call to Cordelia to ensure she was okay.
