Karine fumed. Her cheeks flushed.Reputation was everything to her. Now that she was humiliated, she vented her rage on Cordelia. She lifted her arms to hit her, but the people around her stopped her.They pointed at the surveillance camera on the ceiling, asking her to hold back.Karine glared at Cordelia with a vengeance and said to her while gnashing her teeth a moment later, “What’s there to flaunt about having married a poor man? A diamond ring aside, he can’t even afford a copper or iron ring! Stay poor for the rest of your lives, you wretched couple!”She turned to leave as soon as she was done. Cordelia grinned as she watched her leave in a rage.It seemed she would not have peace in the office from now on.She must plan ahead and come up with a backup plan.On the next day…Cordelia looked different than before when she showed up at the office again.She, who did not wear makeup, put on light makeup today. She had something on her finger, too—a huge emerald ring.Her

Cordelia felt her heart squeeze. She turned her head, and Annie and her locked eyes. The latter looked at her anxiously.“Why did she ask for you?” Annie frowned. “She must be up to no good. Watch out, Cordelia!”“Hmm, it’s going to be okay.” Cordelia walked to Karine’s office calmly.Karine pulled up all of the blinds in the office intentionally. She even left the door open with the intention of showing everything that was happening inside to everyone out there.Cordelia was suspicious. It seemed she was not trying to start something with her.After all, all eyes were on them.“Cordelia, this is Mr. Jones from the Star Group.” Karine introduced her with a bright smile. “Mr. Jones, this is our company’s top salesperson of the month!”Cordelia nodded, smiling courteously. However, the more she looked at Karine, the more she thought what Annie said was right.She was up to no good.Oliver Jones was a gentle middle-aged man. From the moment Cordelia entered, he had his eyes on th

Cordelia showed Oliver to the meeting room.The gathered people at the door were gloating.“Ms. Carmichael just wanted Mr. Jones to say that Cordelia’s ring is made of green glass. Who knew it was an authentic emerald? She even got the client in the end!” someone whispered cheerily. “I suppose she suffered a double loss?”“Pfft! More like penny-wise but pound-foolish!”“Haha!”Karine stood where she was, frozen. Her mind was empty, and she shook from rage.She walked over quickly and slammed the door. The loud thud echoed.The people gathered at the door dispersed, but peals of laughter lingered in the office. They were already displeased by her arrogance, but they allowed her behavior since her uncle was a major shareholder.They were secretly over the moon to see her defeated today.…After sending Oliver to the entrance of the company, smiling, Cordelia caressed the ring on her finger softly after saying goodbye.Was it really an emerald?She beamed, and two tiny dimples

Nobody knew why Karine’s cheeks were swollen, and there was even blood at the corner of her lips when she returned that day.She looked as clumsy as Jesse when he was beaten up the other day.The smart ones very soon thought of Cordelia when they connected the dots. However, as Cordelia was quite popular, kind, and hardworking, even if she had hit Karine, everyone would assume that the latter had crossed the line.Given that there was no solid proof, they moved on pretty quickly.Although no cameras captured the incident, Fredric had seen everything.He had been running an errand at a nearby law firm. It was quite a scene to see Cordelia slapping someone.He reported to Marcus instantly. As if he was influenced by Josiah, he had a similar tone when he spoke. “Z, your wife is a spicy little missy. The slaps she served were so precise! She even warned the person that she’d suffer worse consequences if she dared to criticize you again!”Marcus raised his brow, and a smile appeared

Marcus choked and pulled Cordelia into his arms. Her waist easily fitted in his hand, so he tilted her chin up with another hand.As he looked into her eyes, they were clear like pools of spring. Her cherry lips parted slightly like a soundless temptation.Marcus felt a ball of flame churning within him.Cordelia avoided his heated gaze as she blushed and panted. She could feel his unusually warm chest, powerful heartbeats, and the oozing manliness… She felt like melting. Before his kiss came, she pushed him away lightly.“Don’t.” She smiled embarrassedly. “I still have to cook.”Marcus stopped, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.“Tonight…” Cordelia’s voice was soft and weak. It was a challenge for her to utter that one word as she blushed bright red.“Don’t sleep on the couch tonight. It’s uncomfortable. Sleep in the room.”Marcus paused in a daze. This was probably the bravest thing she could say. He held back a chuckle and ran his thumb over her red ear, replying hoarsely, “

When Marcus was 16, he had already been accepted by Walton, the top of the world’s three best business schools. He was also the heir of the Hamertons. If he had not conspired against and encountered the plane crash, he would be the decision-maker of the Hamertons by now.Marcus could only smile in silence in response to Cordelia’s questioning gaze.The girl pouted and wondered if Marcus had met some girl he did not end up together with when he was 16. After all, people said that men could hardly forget their first love. He was quite excited when he brought up the topic but stopped halfway. It was obvious he did not want her to know.Other than someone he could not have, there was no better explanation for his action.Disappointment flashed in Cordelia’s eyes. Since he did not want to tell her, she would not ask either. Despite that, the matter left a sour taste in her mouth.She quietly went back to the bedroom to change new sheets and get another set of sheets for the couch in th

Cordelia barely had any sleep that night.She was both worried for Carter and troubled by her imaginary love rival. Moreover, it was her first time sleeping on the couch, so she kept tossing and turning. It was near dawn when she gradually fell asleep.Not too long into her slumber, though, she was woken up by some noises. When she opened her eyes, Marcus had already changed and was ready to head out. Carter had packed his bag as well and followed Marcus.“Where are you both going?” Cordelia asked in alarm.Marcus was dressed weirdly. He was dressed in black with a baseball cap. The stick he held was the one he usually used when he worked out at home.Cordelia did not have a good feeling about it.“Are you going to fight?”Marcus looked at her without saying anything.Cordelia was in distress. It seemed that he was really going to fight. Since they got married, it got to do with her each time Marcus fought, and it worried her every time. She was afraid of something bad happenin

Cordelia walked over slowly from the side, looking calm and composed.Marcus now understood her intention. She had recorded solid evidence of the bullies, and these high school seniors were already past 16 years old, so they would be legally charged. As long as the video recording was handed to the police and a court case was brought up, these students would have a criminal record for life.Cordelia looked at them coldly.“Carter isn’t the only one you guys bully, huh?” She spoke confidently. “I’ve called the police. They’ll investigate it when they’re here.”Everything was well within her control.The students were taken away by the police and were interrogated according to the regular procedure. They came clean about their bullying, and the charges went through. The outcome was gratifying.Cordelia finally avenged Carter.“Z, your wife’s pretty amazing.” Fredric, who had friends in the police station, heard about the matter and could not help giving a thumbs up.“She’s more l
