She was certain that Yelena was up to no good. The only reason she had called him here was to humiliate him!

Cordelia got anxious and hastily ran over to Marcus. She grabbed his hand gently, but he just turned his head around and gave her an assuring smile.

Just as Cordelia was thinking about how to get Marcus out of this predicament, Yelena came forward and said with a loud voice, “Let me introduce you all! He’s my brother-in-law, Marcus!”

Marcus looked around and nodded at them. However, the people in the room seemed to be able to sense a domineering aura from him, and they all avoided his gaze.

Yelena smiled and continued. “Don’t just stand there, Cordelia! Hurry up and bring your husband to the table! We still have a lot of food left! After all, I’m sure he hasn’t been to such a high-class restaurant before. He’s so lucky to have you as his wife!”

Cordelia wanted to say something to defend Marcus, but he grabbed her hand and stopped her.

Marcus pulled the chair calmly and sat beside Cordelia.

Although he did not speak from the moment he came in, he had a regal air around him, and even someone as knowledgeable as David couldn’t help himself but frown slightly and start to observe him.

Yelena was the only one who thought that Marcus was a poor man, and she would stop at nothing to humiliate Cordelia.

“What have you been doing lately, Marcus? Did you learn any marketing or trading skills from Cordelia?

“Cordelia, you should also teach your husband some marketing or trading skills. If not, the gap between you two will only get larger, and you’ll only end up going your separate ways. After all, your husband is pretty undereducated. He has been to prison several times, and I’m sure he didn’t pick up any useful skills inside.”

Cordelia glared at her. “Yelena, do you like the dishes tonight?”

Marcus hung up the call and took a few seconds to calm himself down. After that, he decided to make a call to Cordelia to ensure she was okay.

The voice that came from another side of the line was weak and filled with reluctance.

“Honey, my directors insist on inviting our client to dinner tonight… Sigh. I’m sure you know our biggest client is Yelena, so I have to go with them.”

“Alright. Don’t worry,” replied Marcus. He did not tell her that Yelena had called him. “Where are you now? Send me your location. I’ll go pick you up later.”

“Okay,” Cordelia replied with a smile. Then, she sent the location to him.

Marcus crossed-checked with the address Yelena gave him to confirm that they were at the same place. Initially, he was worried that Yelena was plotting something against Cordelia, so she wanted to send him somewhere else. But now it seemed like Yelena was not lying to him.

‘But why did she make this call specifically to ask me to go to their dinner party as well?’
