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?’

Marcus fell deep in thought.

No matter what she was up to, he should go there to be on the safe side.

Everyone started to become excited halfway through the dinner. A few men were persuading each other to drink more while complimenting Yelena.

Cordelia had never been fond of such social occasions, so she felt even more tired now.

She kept looking at her watch. Strangely enough, every minute and second felt extremely slow. The dinner was far from over. The two directors of the sales department and the marketing department were still fighting with each other, and she felt annoyed. Just when she was going to find an excuse and go out to get some fresh air, Yelena shouted, “Hey guys, stop for a moment!”

Everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at her.

“We’ll have a special guest later!” Yelena turned to look at Cordelia and smiled coldly, “Cordelia, you’re my sister, after all. Although you married a man of lower status, he’s still my brother-in-law. So, don’t you think an occasion like this is a good opportunity for him to learn something?”

“What?” Cordelia’s heart skipped a beat. “You called Marcus here?”
