Chapter 124

Meanwhile, at the Cornell Residence, Lisa came downstairs while looking all dolled up. Seeing a dispirited Jorge, she couldn't help but sneer. "What's the matter, Mr. Cornell? Don't you have dinner parties every single day and a bunch of friends waiting to ask you out to dinner? Why are you still at home at such an hour? Aren't you going out?"

Jorge was irked to see her in the first place, and it irritated him even more when he listened to her sarcastic remarks. "Where are you going this time?"

"What does that have to do with you? That's none of your business." Lisa raised her chin haughtily without giving a damn about him.

Jorge was as mad as hell, but he really could do nothing about her. Lisa's family still had some financial resources, but the Cornell Group had gone bankrupt and been acquired now. Because of that, he felt somewhat diffident in front of her.

Lisa rolled her eyes in disdain when she saw him like this. After pondering for a moment, she asked him with a smile, "I hear that the Cornell Group has been acquired by a multinational consortium. Aren't you curious about who the Cornell Group's new boss is?"

Jorge replied, "Whoever it is, it has nothing to do with me." At the moment, he didn't want to mention the Cornell Group at all. He had put in so much effort back then to make the Cornell Group what it was today. Who would've thought that he'd lose the company in just a few months? It made his heart bleed to think about it now.

"You're not curious about it, but I am. As it happens, I'm going to the Cornell Group with someone today. I guess you don't know about it, but the Cornell Group's new boss is throwing a cocktail party today for the reopening of the company. Many distinguished notables of Hovington are invited to the party, so I'm gonna be there to watch the spectacle," Lisa said while stroking her hair with her right hand. After that, she quickly left in high heels.

Now that the Cornells no longer had a car of their own, Lisa had no choice but to hail a cab to go around.

Two hours later, she finally arrived at the Cornell Group.
