Chapter 197 Cocktail Party
No sooner had slie finished speaking than Cordelia returned in a huff, tossing an invitation in front of Emrys, exclaiming, “Huxley is taking it too far!”
“What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?” Emrys picked up the invitation with a puzzled expression. Upon glancing at it, he realized it was an invitation to Huxley’s private cocktail party. He specifically requested the presence of Cordelia.
Honeybeauty Group emerged victorious, so the purpose of this cocktail party should be to celebrate their victory, yet he deliberately invited his competitor to attend. He was clearly antagonizing his competitor.
Furthermore, if Huxley had won this battle through legitimate means, Cordelia would’ve had nothing to say. However, he was shamelessly flaunting his victory even though he had stooped to despicable and dirty tactics to steal the fruits of others‘ labor.
The mere thought of it was enough to infuriate Cordelia, so much so that she felt like her chest was about to explode.
Emrys said with a smile. “It’s just an invitation. Do you have to be so mad? If Huxley loves to show off, then let him show off!”
“Why are you still smiling? What’s with this devil–may–care attitude? You were the one who came up with this formula. It’s like your son. Why don’t you seem to care at all when your ‘son‘ has been taken away?” said Cordelia, glaring at Emrys.
Looking back, Cordelia regretted listening to Emrys’s advice. She shouldn’t have delayed the launch of “World–Enchanting Beauty.” Now, she was at a loss on how to rectify the situation.
Emrys said, “Actually, I have many such formulas, so having one of them leaked doesn’t really bother me.”
Cordelia clutched her chest. “But I’m bothered! Every time I think of the arrogant expressions of those despicable and shameless people, I feel distressed.”
“Don’t worry, Delia. They won’t stay arrogant for long. A private cocktail party, huh? It’s no big deal. I’ll go with you,” Emrys comforted her.
Cordelia pouted and said, “I’m not going!”
“But I want to go.”
Cordelia was speechless.
At the venue of the cocktail party, a young man and woman stood at the buffet area, constantly eating, giving off the impression that they hadn’t eaten in days.
That young man, in particular, was wolfing down his food voraciously, shoving food into his mouth while holding his plate without even bothering to head to the dining area.
