Chapter 69


    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 ss 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 schoolst time, Giselle Lawler would often bully Cordelia with Yelena. The


    schoolter dismissed her due to her poor grades and frequent reports of being found smoking in


    clubs.


    Thements 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 aboutworking with her clients and walked briskly to Marcus in


    her heels.


    “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 rtionship?”


    “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 tantly. “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 she’s broke. She used to stay in the basement and smelled musty!


    “Why don’t youe 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!?”RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Murmurs ofments 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.
