“But starting from today, I’m done putting up with her,” Cordelia said as she put down the fork, her eyes filled with determination. “She needs to know that not everything has to go the way she wants it to and that she can insult me because I’m an illegitimate child! I can’t choose my parents, but it isn’t the reason for her to insult me!”

“That’s right.” Marcus held her hand lightly. “No matter what you do, I’ll support you.”

Cordelia grinned and continued to eat the food.

“You might come into a lot of problems since you have to work with Yelena from now on.” Marcus said sternly, “Cordelia, you shouldn’t force yourself if you can’t do it. If you really can’t take it anymore, you can just resign. After all, I can—”

“It’s okay.” Cordelia smiled. “You can keep your money. You’re a man. It’ll be very embarrassing if you don’t have any money when you go out with your friends.”

Marcus smiled dryly and said, “Honey, I…”

‘I don’t have to pay when I go out with my friends!’

“I won’t resign,” said Cordelia. “It took me a lot of effort to get to this position, so I won’t give it up so easily. Don’t worry. I’ll control myself so that nothing will go out of control. All of us are adults. When life throws us curveballs, we just have to accept it.”

Marcus grabbed her hand even tighter. After a short while, he said, “It’s my fault. If I could earn more money, you wouldn’t have to go through all this.”

“What are you talking about? I can handle this.” Cordelia smiled. “By the way, we can’t work for other people for our entire life. We need to have our own business!”

Smiling gently, Marcus replied, “We’re going to the Regalia Hotel.”
