After some rest, Cordelia’s leg finally healed. She could not wait for the check-up at the hospital and

went off to work.

Annie was delightfully surprised when she saw her. “You’re finally back! I haven’t been in the mood to

work without you sitting next to me recently!”

Cordelia smiled. “You’re getting sweeter with words!”

“Sigh, I feel guilty! If I had insisted on going to the dinner with you, you wouldn’t have been tricked by

that scum…”

Alarmed, Cordelia quickly pulled Annie to an emptier corridor.

“Does… everyone know about this already?”

Annie looked around before telling her softly, “No. The people in the office don’t know why you

suddenly took sick days. The director said that you accidentally injured your leg. Everyone wanted to

visit you in the hospital together, but he stopped them.”

Cordelia nodded in silence.

The director was not bad, but he knew too well about self-preservation. He glossed over many things

and would hardly stand up for anything.

“So even if there are suspicions, no one said it out loud.” Annie looked at her. “Don’t worry. It has

passed. Just insist that you’ve accidentally injured your leg!”

“Mm.”

It seemed that the director’s way of handling this matter was right. She was a woman. Reputation

mattered to her, and it would not be nice if word about this got out.

“Oh yeah, Cordelia, I have amazing news to tell you!”

Cordelia paused and could not help chortling when she saw how gleeful Annie was. “What’s so

delightful?”

“Michael and Jesse are no longer in the company!”

“What?” Cordelia was astonished. “They—”

“I don’t know what’s the reason either, but the second day you were in the hospital, I saw Jesse leaving

with a cardboard box. He looked dejected when he left, pathetic!

“As for Mr. Johnson…” Annie said with a hushed tone, “The board of directors seemed to have cut

down his shares and transferred him to a subsidiary in Chengasas to become a small department

manager. Hah… It’s worse than chasing him out! How is he going to sell his goods in an

underdeveloped place like Chengasas? What’s that if not torture? Haha, it’s gratifying!

“Cordelia? What’s the matter?” Annie looked at her. “Why are you spacing out?”

Cordelia snapped out of her trance and forced a smile. The more she listened to Annie, the more

astonished she was.

She suddenly remembered what Marcus had asked her in the hospital ward. She had casually said that

she hoped these people would never appear before her again, and Marcus’ “Got it” seemed to still

echo in her ears.

Cordelia sucked in a deep breath and shook her head. How was that possible? How could Marcus

have such an ability? It must be a coincidence!

“Cordelia, you’re here!” Another coworker rushed over anxiously.

“I finally found you. Why didn’t you bring your phones when you’re out here to talk?”

Cordelia was stunned. “Did something happen?”

“Someone’s here for you!” Her coworker pointed downstairs. “At the first floor’s lobby. The handsome

young chap claimed to be your younger brother. He called you many times, but you didn’t answer! He

looks quite anxious. Hurry and go have a look!”

Cordelia’s heart lurched up to her throat as it thumped.

Carter was a sensible child. Even if he was greatly wronged, he would not come to her workplace for

her. Now that he was here in such a hurry, there was only one possibility…

“Carter!” Cordelia rushed downstairs. “What’s wrong? Did mom get worse?”
