Gerald had a son named Joseph Chalker, and he was an infamous womanizer in Jadeborough. Women he set his eyes on could rarely escape him. There were at least a dozen of women who had fallen into his traps. It went on until a certain day. While Joseph was in the middle of intercourse, a mysterious female assassin barged into the room and chopped off his manhood. The incident had been major news back then. The Chalkers were furious. They once offered millions to catch that female assassin, but their efforts were fruitless. Joseph went from a womanizing scion to Jadeborough’s famed eunuch. Not long ago, the Chalker family abruptly started searching for partners for Joseph. Even though everyone knew Joseph could no longer function in bed, the second the news was released, many socialites still flocked to the Chalker family. After all, the Chalker family was still a powerful family. As long as they married into the family, they would be able to soar to great heights. Joseph’s disability would mean nothing by then. Michael Gardner had sent the Chalker family a photo of his daughter at that time as well, but he did not expect much about it. Yet, to his surprise, Joseph was interested. He then told Angelina about it excitedly. However, when Angelina heard that the one she was supposed to marry was Joseph, she protested. She was not interested in sleeping with someone like him for the rest of her life. Yet, Angelina changed her mind after the incident at Cordelia Group. She no longer had a place in the South River District. If she stayed, she would never be able to catch up to Cordelia. Angelina would never accept that as her fate. She wanted to go to the North River District and marry into the Chalker family. With the power of the Chalker family, she wanted to take revenge on Cordelia and Emrys. I’ll make him kneel before me and lick the soles of my shoes like the mutt he is! Meanwhile, Emrys had gone back to the CEO’s office. Cordelia was sitting by the table, resting her cheek on her palm as she spaced out. Her plump breasts, pressed against the edge of the table, were no longer in their original shape. “Rys, I’m sorry.” Cordelia was still racked with guilt for the slap she had given Emrys earlier. When she saw Emrys entering the room, she quickly stood up, her breasts bouncing. Emrys was delighted by the sight, but he schooled his features to a grimace and pretended to be angry. “An apology is useless.” Cordelia pursed her lips. “What do you want, then?” Emrys raked his gaze across the room before noticing a bottle of water on the table. After pouring the water out of the bottle, he squashed the plastic bottle and said, “It’s flat now. Do you think an apology will revert it to its original shape?” Cordelia froze. Then she took the bottle and covered the mouth of the bottle with her pink lips. Puffing up her cheeks, she blew air into it. “All you need to do is to inflate it by blowing air into it…” Right then, a thought crossed Cordelia’s mind, and a blush crept onto her face. She glared daggers at him and said, “You cheeky boy. How dare you tease me?” Cordelia threw the bottle at Emrys. Emrys hastily moved aside and said with an innocent look, “Delia, what are you talking about? I’m saying that my heart hurts, and I’m deflated like this bottle. It’s not something that can be fixed with just an apology. What were you thinking about?” “I…” Cordelia’s face heated up even more as she cursed under her breath. This is all Nina’s fault. She keeps making dirty jokes around me, and she’s corrupting my mind! When she noticed the strange look Emrys was giving her, the embarrassment she felt turned into anger. “Stop looking at me like that!” Emrys cackled. “Delia, are you the kind with a stoic look and a dirty mind?” “Argh! Shut up!” Cordelia gave up on maintaining her image as a cool woman and lunged at Emrys, baring her teeth. “Delia, that’s against the rules!” “The nerve of you to keep talking!” The two of them messed around for a while before Emrys surrendered and ended the play fight. “Honestly, were you the reason behind the orders worth billions made by South River King and the prominent families?” Cordelia asked as she tidied herself up to regain her prim and proper image. Emrys nodded and replied solemnly, “Yes. I’m Empyrean Lord, and South River King is afraid of me. That’s why he made an order worth five billion.” “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Rys, you’ve changed. You’ve grown a silver tongue. Didn’t you say you were training in the mountains for fifteen years? How did you become Empyrean Lord?” “Uh…” Taking in Cordelia’s look of disbelief, Emrys eventually said, “Actually, I’m a miracle doctor who healed South River King’s mother’s illness. He’s returning the favor.” “I see.” Emrys fell silent at that. It’s tough trying to be honest nowadays. In the middle of their conversation, Cordelia’s phone suddenly rang. After taking a glance at the screen, she gestured for Emrys to stay silent. “It’s the dirty-minded Nina.” Ninette Wicker, known as Nina to Cordelia and Emrys, was the fourth among the seven girls. She was a reporter. According to Cordelia, Ninette was currently in Crounga, investigating the kidnapping of King Jupp. She would not be returning to the country for a while. Cordelia ended the call in no time, and Emrys asked curiously, “What did Nina tell you?” “It’s nothing. She was just asking about the product launch. I nearly told her that you were still alive,” Cordelia said, cheekily sticking out her tongue. “Hehe! I wonder how Nina will react when she comes back here and sees me.” Cordelia pondered about it. “I think she’ll be so excited she’ll pull down your pants to look at the birthmark.” In the evening, the duo left the office. However, instead of returning to Verdant Estate, they went to a bar named “Nightrose.” Emrys cried out, “Delia, I’m an innocent boy. How could you bring me to a place like this?” Smack! Cordelia whacked the back of Emrys’ head and huffed, “What are you thinking about? This is Lena’s bar. Didn’t you say you wanted to give Lena a surprise? We’ll do this when we’re…” Cordelia then leaned into Emrys’ ear and whispered a plan to him, a sly glint appearing in her eyes. After listening to it, Emrys raised his brows and said, “Delia, you looked so serious most of the time. I never thought you’d be worse than me!” “Stop spewing nonsense and get out of the car!” Cordelia kicked Emrys out of the car before driving the Porsche into the parking lot and entering the bar herself. Emrys took a stroll around. When he spotted a nice bracelet from a store, he bought it. Twenty minutes later, he finally ambled into the bar.
