    “Then why is he still dying meeting me for so long?”

    “I think you know better than me why Mr. Gage won’t meet with you, Ms. Youngblood.”

    “What do you mean by that?” Cordelia knitted her brows.


    Seeing Cordelia feign ignorance when she already knew the answer, the female secretary had no


    choice but to shrug her shoulders and reply, “Considering that you’re all businesspeople, Mr. Gage


    thought at first to save you some embarrassment and let you give up gracefully. However, since you


    insist on being obstinate, don’t me me for speaking bluntly. There’s no way Mr. Gage will coborate


    with you.”


    “Why not?” Cordelia pressed, feeling puzzled.


    The secretary nced at her disdainfully, wondering whether she genuinely did not know the reason or


    was only pretending not to know.


    “Ms. Youngblood, look up Cordelia Group online on your own. You’ll be able to find out why,” she


    answered impatiently before leaving the reception area in her high heels.


    Cordelia looked flummoxed. What’s going on?


    There was a knot of confusion in her stomach as she turned on herptop and typed “Cordelia Group”


    into the search bar. After she read the first article that popped up, her pretty face instantly turned as


    pale as a sheet.


    Breaking news! Cordelia Group’s beautiful CEO, Cordelia Youngblood, has an extremely messy


    personal life. While hooking up with South River King, Osmond Langdon, she also secretly has a


    toyboy at the same time…


    Such articles were already everywhere in Jadeborough. However, since Jadeborough was just a small


    citypared to the state of Jazona, the news had not blown up as quickly as one would imagine. As


    such, one would not simplye across those articles unless they searched specific keywords. That


    was why Cordelia had not seen those articles until now.


    If that secretary hadn’t mentioned it, I probably would’ve been in the dark until I returned to


    Jadeborough.


    Emrys had been standing behind Cordelia, so he had seen the articles too. A terrifying look of


    murderous intent filled his eyes. We haven’t left Jadeborough all that long, yet something so serious


    has happened. Whoever did this deserves to rot in hell!


    He strode out of Gage Group, then phoned Osmond and asked, “What’s with the nderous articles?”


    “It was… the Chalker family’s doing!”


    Over in North River District, Osmond had been brooding over the matter. His mind was still in a daze


    when he received the call. As it turns out, Empyrean Lord doesn’t know about it yet!

    “The Chalkers, eh? How dare they! Osmond, go and prepare arger coffin immediately. I want to


    celebrate that old geezer of the Chalker family’s birthday early.”


    “Right. I’ll get on it at once!” After Osmond hung up the phone, he appeared more at ease.


    Thomas and the others asked, “What happened?”


    “Empyrean Lord is livid. He’ll probably destroy the Chalker family today. All of you, hurry up and


    prepare whatever gifts you can find. We’re sending over a big present to that family in advance,”


    Osmond replied while cackling wildly. I was down in the dumps earlier, not expecting that retribution


    would get served so quickly. There’s no need to wait for another two or three days. Today, we’ll be able


    to go all out and vent the anger we’ve been suppressing in our hearts! How can I not be excited?


    Cordelia and Emrys made their way back to Jadeborough as quickly as possible.


    While she hurried to Cordelia Group to discuss public rtions strategy on handling the matter with her


    employees, he prepared to go and look for Osmond. However, he received a phone call on the way


    there.


    “Rys…”


    It was Yelena. Her voice sounded very weak.


    With anxiety written all over his face, he hurriedly asked, “Lena, what’s the matter?”


    However, there was no answer from the other end of the line.


    “Aargh!” Letting out a furious roar, he hastily activated the Telepathic Formation and found Yelena’s


    location a secondter.


    He rushed there immediately.


    By the time he found Yelena, she had copsed in a field. The bite wound on the back of her hand had


    turned a purplish–ck color. On top of that, a purple mark measuring ten centimeters had appeared


    on her arm.
