“Yelena!”
“Alright! Alright!” Mr. Rudd waved his hand impatiently and pointed at Cordelia. “You can go back now.
I’ll only talk to Ms. Yelena today.”
Yelena let out a smile, and before she entered the meeting room with Mr. Rudd, she darted a mocking
gaze at Cordelia.
Cordelia felt humiliated and sad at the time. That being said, she still collected all her stuff and limped
out of the building.
Little did she expect that…
Mr. Rudd was a swindler!
It was only after Yelena had signed a contract with Mr. Rudd that she found out his company was a
shell company. It might look impressive on the surface, but it was nothing on the inside!
However, Yelena was desperately trying to change her father’s view of her, so she had already made
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe first payment right after he signed the contract to facilitate their cooperation. This proved to be a
wrong move and caused the Jenners to lose nearly several million dollars.
Cordelia felt like she was having a dream when she heard the news, and she could not come around to
her senses for a long while.
She told the story to Marcus and said, “Actually, I wanted to try to fight for it that time. After all, the
conditions offered by Mr. Rudd were too tempting. It’s just like a pie falling from the sky!
“But now, when I think about it again, there’s nothing such as a free lunch in this world. Just like the old
saying goes, ‘Gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with prices’!”
“That’s right.” Marcus chuckled. “Make sure to be more careful next time. Just like you said, there’s
nothing such as a free lunch in this world.”
“Well, I have to thank Yelena for this,” she said, grinning from ear to ear. “If not, I’d be the one who
caused my company to lose millions of dollars.”
‘It can never be you, you silly girl.’
The smile on Marcus’ face deepened.
Other than Yelena, that person would not swindle another person.
Cordelia hummed as she did her chores. She was deeply grateful for the close call this time.
Marcus’ phone rang, and he went to the balcony to answer the call.
“Z, we’ve done as you said. That guy was found by Oliver.” Josiah chuckled, “Yelena is in big trouble
this time. I heard that William was so angry that he nearly disowned his daughter. Well, I can
understand why he is so angry. After all, nobody would still be able to stay calm when they lost nearly a
million dollars.”
“Yeah,” replied Marcus. “Send my regards to Mr. Jones and help me to thank him as well.”
Josiah grinned.
He always thought that he was a genius at pranking other people, but now it seemed to him that Oliver
was even better than him.
Josiah added, “Oh yeah, Z, I’ve already found the shop lot you want. Do you know how hard it was to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfind one that matched your criteria? I almost turned the entire Jangasas upside down, and I only
managed to find a few.”
Josiah sent the images to him. Marcus looked through the images, and he had his eyes set on one.
Ceiling-to-floor windows and a courtyard filled with irises.
The interior was decorated with light-colored wood. There were two large coffee machines behind the
bar and a big oven. Just by looking at the picture, he felt as if he could smell the fragrance of coffee
and pastries through the screen.
The window frames were painted apple green, and the curtains were light yellow, giving a refreshing
feeling.
Marcus knew that Cordelia would like this shop at a single glance.
“This is it! This is the one!” he said.
“Sure.” Josiah smiled. “Z, if you don’t mind me asking, are you sure you want to open a coffee shop
yourself? Are you not going back to inherit your family business?”
Marcus’ eyes were deep, but there was a smile on the corner of his lips.
