Her sharp and long nail scratched Cordelia’s scalp. Before she could react to the pain, Yelena grabbed her collar and shoved her hard!

Cordelia staggered, fell backward, and the documents in her hands scattered everywhere.

Cordelia picked them up in panic while Yelena glanced at her in disdain. Just when she was going to step on the back of her hand, a middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the hotel.

Joanne tucked at Yelena and signaled her. “Let’s get away from this b*tch. We should quickly make our way to the banquet hall!”

The people around greeted the man as he walked over.

He walked directly to Cordelia. He bowed and looked at the crowd with a polite smile.

“Are you Ms. Jenner from Jangasas?”

“Yes, that’s right!” Yelena and Joanne rushed forward with obsequious smiles. “We’re the Jenners. I’m Ms. Jenner!

“Are you here to welcome us? Please lead the way, then!”

Cordelia’s eyes dimmed. Her hair was messy, and she looked clumsy with the pile of messy documents.

She knew that the man was not asking for her, so she backed off quietly. Never had she thought the man would clear his throat and say louder, “I’m sorry, the Ms. Jenner I’m asking for is Cordelia Jenner!”

“What?” Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Cordelia stood where she was, frozen. It took her a while to snap back to her senses.

However, the meaning of it was unclear. Josiah could not figure out why he did that, so he braced himself by asking, “Mr. Z… Why did she come to me? For work?”

Marcus paused. Upon recalling Cordelia had been researching Josiah the entire night, the uneasiness he felt came rushing back.
