Chapter 71


    The hall recovered its order. Everyone interacted as if what happened just now did not exist. In their


    talks privately, though, mockery about Giselle was made.


    Marcus pulled Cordelia to dance. Thetter was not good at it, but no one could see that with the


    man’s lead. They gained a round of apuse after the song ended.


    Giselle was shaking in anger while Yelena red at her.


    “Useless!”


    “Yelena, you—”

    “Don’t youbel yourself as a socialite? Don’t men buzz around you?” Yelena was fuming. “You


    can’t even take care of Marcus! Look at your cowardly response once he said that he had killed


    someone! What are you if not useless?”


    Giselle pressed her lips together. She was also disgruntled. She had agreed with Yelena that they


    would embarrass Cordelia at the dinner, only for it to turn out to be herself.


    When she first met Marcus, she was also attracted by thetter’s tall and handsome appearance.


    When he told her that he had killed someone with a smile, though, the dark sharpness in his gaze,


    the bone-chilling frost in his smile, and the sense of pressure he exuded all sent chills down her


    spine.


    She must have been bored of life to seduce a murderer!


    Giselle said after a moment of silence, “Yelena, we can win this back!”


    Yelena was still fuming as she red at Cordelia, who was farther away.


    “Whatever method it is, the goal will be achieved as long as you overpower Cordelia, right?” Giselle


    spoke in a hushed tone. “Her man has a shameful past, but your man is different!”


    Yelena paused. “What do you mean?”


    “Don’t you have a photo with Mr. Z Hamerton?”


    Yelena’s expression took a change while Giselle began to scroll through her phone,ing up with


    a photo a whileter.


    “Yelena, see!” She looked thrilled. “Didn’t you send this to me during the Hamerton’s dinner back


    then? This is Centrolis’ Hamertons! How many people at the dinner tonight have been there? You’re


    the only one!


    “Just you wait. I’ll win this back for you so that little b*tch Cordelia is embarrassed!”


    Before Yelena could stop her, Giselle was gone.


    As the dinner went on, Cordelia was doneworking with her clients. She met Marcus’ gaze, and


    they smiled in unison.


    “Want to go?”


    “Mm.”


    Cordelia had never liked events with a lot of people.


    Marcus pointed at the door at the side of the hall.


    He had already done a search! Cordelia was ecstatic. She held his hand and was darting there


    quietly when she heard a peal ofughter behind her.


    “Sigh, what’s the point of looking good like Cordelia’s husband? Someone with a criminal record is


    tainted wherever he goes!”


    Cordelia halted her steps. Marcus had an arm around her shoulder and shook his head at her with a


    smile to ask her to ignore it. However, the voice kept getting into her ears.


    “That suit looks decent, but it’s not like he has turned into a prince wearing the royal gown! Hah,


    Cordelia’s nothing like her sister… See, her sister, Yelena, has taken a photo with Mr. Z Hamerton


    before!”


    Marcus could not help stopping with a slight frown as well when he heard this.
