Chapter 14


    Gerald had a son named Joseph Chalker, and he was an infamous womanizer in Jadeborough.


    Women he set his eyes on could rarely escape him. There were at least a dozen of women who had


    fallen into his traps. It went on until a certain day. While Joseph was in the middle of intercourse, a


    mysterious female assassin barged into the room and chopped off his manhood. The incident had been


    major news back then. The Chalkers were furious. They once offered millions to catch that female


    assassin, but their efforts were fruitless. Joseph went from a womanizing scion to Jadeborough’s


    famed eunuch. Not long ago, the Chalker family abruptly started searching for partners for Joseph.


    Even though everyone knew Joseph could no longer function in bed, the second the news was


    released, many socialites still flocked to the Chalker family. After all, the Chalker family was still a


    powerful family. As long as they married into the family, they would be able to soar to great heights.


    Joseph’s disability would mean nothing by then. Michael Gardner had sent the Chalker family a photo


    of his daughter at that time as well, but he did not expect much about it. Yet, to his surprise, Joseph


    was interested. He then told Angelina about it excitedly. However, when Angelina heard that the one


    she was supposed to marry was Joseph, she protested. She was not interested in sleeping with


    someone like him for the rest of her life. Yet, Angelina changed her mind after the incident at Cordelia


    Group. She no longer had a ce in the South River District. If she stayed, she would never be able to


    catch up to Cordelia. Angelina would never ept that as her fate. She wanted to go to the North River


    District and marry into the Chalker family. With the power of the Chalker family, she wanted to take


    revenge on Cordelia and Emrys. I’ll make him kneel before me and lick the soles of my shoes like the


    mutt he is! Meanwhile, Emrys had gone back to the CEO’s office. Cordelia was sitting by the table,


    resting her cheek on her palm as she spaced out. Her plump breasts, pressed against the edge of the


    table, were no longer in their original shape. “Rys, I’m sorry.” Cordelia was still racked with guilt for the


    p she had given Emrys earlier. When she saw Emrys entering the room, she quickly stood up, her


    breasts bouncing. Emrys was delighted by the sight, but he schooled his features to a grimace and


    pretended to be angry. “An apology is useless.” Cordelia pursed her lips. “What do you want, then?”


    Emrys raked his gaze across the room before noticing a bottle of water on the table. After pouring the


    water out of the bottle, he squashed the stic bottle and said, “It’s t now. Do you think an apology


    will revert it to its original shape?” Cordelia froze. Then she took the bottle and covered the mouth of


    the bottle with her pink lips. Puffing up her cheeks, she blew air into it. “All you need to do is to inte it


    by blowing air into it…” Right then, a thought crossed Cordelia’s mind, and a blush crept onto her face.


    She red daggers at him and said, “You cheeky boy. How dare you tease me?” Cordelia threw the


    bottle at Emrys. Emrys hastily moved aside and said with an innocent look, “Delia, what are you talking


    about? I’m saying that my heart hurts, and I’m deted like this bottle. It’s not something that can be


    fixed with just an apology. What were you thinking about?” “I…” Cordelia’s face heated up even more


    as she cursed under her breath. This is all Nina’s fault. She keeps making dirty jokes around me, and


    she’s corrupting my mind! When she noticed the strange look Emrys was giving her, the


    embarrassment she felt turned into anger. “Stop looking at me like that!” Emrys cackled. “Delia, are you


    the kind with a stoic look and a dirty mind?” “Argh! Shut up!” Cordelia gave up on maintaining her


    image as a cool woman and lunged at Emrys, baring her teeth. “Delia, that’s against the rules!” “The


    nerve of you to keep talking!” The two of them messed around for a while before Emrys surrendered


    and ended the y fight. “Honestly, were you the reason behind the orders worth billions made by


    South River King and the prominent families?” Cordelia asked as she tidied herself up to regain her


    prim and proper image. Emrys nodded and replied solemnly, “Yes. I’m Empyrean Lord, and South River


    King is afraid of me. That’s why he made an order worth five billion.” “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Rys, you’ve


    changed. You’ve grown a silver tongue. Didn’t you say you were training in the mountains for fifteen


    years? How did you be Empyrean Lord?” “Uh…” Taking in Cordelia’s look of disbelief, Emrys


    eventually said, “Actually, I’m a miracle doctor who healed South River King’s mother’s illness. He’s


    returning the favor.” “I see.” Emrys fell silent at that. It’s tough trying to be honest nowadays. In the


    middle of their conversation, Cordelia’s phone suddenly rang. After taking a nce at the screen, she


    gestured for Emrys to stay silent. “It’s the dirty-minded Nina.” Nte Wicker, known as Nina to


    Cordelia and Emrys, was the fourth among the seven girls. She was a reporter. ording to Cordelia,


    Nte was currently in Crounga, investigating the kidnapping of King Jupp. She would not be


    returning to the country for a while. Cordelia ended the call in no time, and Emrys asked curiously,


    “What did Nina tell you?” “It’s nothing. She was just asking about the productunch. I nearly told her


    that you were still alive,” Cordelia said, cheekily sticking out her tongue. “Hehe! I wonder how Nina will


    react when shees back here and sees me.” Cordelia pondered about it. “I think she’ll be so excited


    she’ll pull down your pants to look at the birthmark.” In the evening, the duo left the office. However,


    instead of returning to Verdant Estate, they went to a bar named “Nightrose.” Emrys cried out, “Delia,


    I’m an innocent boy. How could you bring me to a ce like this?” Smack! Cordelia whacked the back


    of Emrys’ head and huffed, “What are you thinking about? This is Lena’s bar. Didn’t you say you


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    wanted to give Lena a surprise? We’ll do this when we’re…” Cordelia then leaned into Emrys’ ear and


    whispered a n to him, a sly glint appearing in her eyes. After listening to it, Emrys raised his brows


    and said, “Delia, you looked so serious most of the time. I never thought you’d be worse than me!”


    “Stop spewing nonsense and get out of the car!” Cordelia kicked Emrys out of the car before driving the


    Porsche into the parking lot and entering the bar herself. Emrys took a stroll around. When he spotted


    a nice bracelet from a store, he bought it. Twenty minutester, he finally ambled into the bar.
