Marcus paused and tried to keep his lips at a neutral angle.

Yelena was getting too bold with her claims. She thought that she could bluff those who were here because they had never met Zephyr Hamerton?

He scowled and was going to say something when Cordelia held his hand gently. She was uninterested in things like this. She just wanted to go home sooner with Marcus and go back to their own space.

“Cordelia, you’ll never top me!” Yelena smirked. “I got Mr. Z’s attention, but you?”

Yelena’s sharp gaze stopped on Marcus. “You’re only worthy of marrying a scum!”

“Yeah, Mr. Z likes you so much!” Cordelia glanced at her flatly. “If he likes you so much, why hasn’t he married you? The dinner that night was to choose his wife, wasn’t it?”

“What’s between me and Mr. Z is none of your business!”

“I’m not that free to poke my nose in it either, but I won’t let you off easily since you commented on my husband!” Cordelia paused and said, “Also, as sisters, let me give you a kind reminder. A man too powerful isn’t a choice partner!

“You—” Yelena got angry. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely be better off than you! Keep your useless husband around and stay useless for life!”
