Chapter 161 A Surprise
The playful banter between the siblings made Jacqueline feel uneasy. She turned her head and glanced at Roger, expressing her helplessness.
See, it’s not that I didn’t try hard enough; the competition is just too strong.
Roger’s mood was also extremely heavy.
At this moment, Lydia suddenly coughed twice, separating the siblings. She spoke to Cordelia with a serious tone. “Cordelia, this young man is fine now. Although we didn’t save him, the words you just said in the car should still count, right?”
Cordelia’s face faltered, wanting to back out, but she heard Emrys comforting her. “Delia, stay at the Youngblood family for a while. I will take care of Cordelia Group for you. Believe me, it won’t be long before I present you with a grand gift.”
Emrys didn’t even need to ask. Just by looking at Lydia’s expression, he knew what she was planning.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Lydia immediately smirked and said, “Well, well, you’ve finally seen the light after a narrow escape from death. If you had been this sensible earlier, would we have gotten into such a big mess?”
Emrys didn’t even bother to respond, causing the first beauty of Jazona to twitch her cheeks a few times. She felt dissatisfied, but she chose to endure it.
After all, if this young man could persuade Cordelia, it would be a good thing.
On the side, Roger was filled with immense confusion upon seeing Lydia’s dismissive attitude toward Emrys. However, he quickly understood. It seems that the Youngblood family is still unaware of Dr. Lund’s capabilities! Ha! Isn’t this a great opportunity for our family?
Roger was overjoyed in his heart, silently standing aside to watch the show. However, it wasn’t long before Lydia walked over to him and said, “Mr. Balford, you really do dote on your precious daughter!”
She cast a meaningful glance at Jacqueline.
Lydia assumed that Emrys was saved by Roger. The reason Roger intervened was due to his daughter, Jacqueline.
Of course, Roger knew what Lydia was thinking, but he chose not to expose it. The deeper Lydia’s misunderstanding, the better it would be for his family.
“I’m suddenly curious. What kind of terms did you propose to such a domineering person like Erwin, to convince him to release that young man surnamed Lund?” Lydia asked./
“It has nothing to do with you!” Roger said, his expression cold and indifferent.
“Tch! Who cares anyway.”
