Marcus chuckled a little bit over the phone.

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.

“Because you’re good-looking!” He hung up the phone after saying that angrily.

Josiah spent the entire day in fear.

In the end, he decided to wait. He would wait to see what Cordelia would do next and would play it by ear then.

Later on, Cordelia waited at the Splendor Dynasty’s entrance on her own.

The building, as magnificent as a castle, was lit bright tonight. It was extraordinarily lively. There were luxury cars parked everywhere on the property. Some people landed their private helicopters on the helipad behind the hotel.

Those who were invited were of high status.
