Chapter 202 Listen To Me
Taking advantage of the deserted mansion, Emrys made his way to the bedroom, where he successfully located a safe.
He pried open it and took away the things inside.
The following day, Huxley was suddenly taken away for investigation by the relevant authorities. It was said that someone had found his secret financial records, which detailed all his monetary transactions over the past few years. Some high–ranking members within the organization were also implicated.
A sense of shock struck Huxley’s heart. He had roughly guessed what had happened.
I really shouldn’t have spent the night at my secretary’s house last night. I had no idea that my safe was pried open.
At the Youngblood residence, Richard and Lydia were in the midst of their lunch when they were startled by the sudden ring of the doorbell. Upon opening the door, they were surprised to find Myles standing there.
Lydia greeted warmly, “Myles, it’s you. Come in. We’re just having lunch. Would you like to join us?”
“Thank you, Mrs. Youngblood. I have already eaten.”
Myles entered, placing the fruit wine he had brought on the coffee table. He looked around the room, and with a puzzled expression, he asked, “Mrs. Youngblood, isn’t Delia here?”
He had come this time specifically to build a connection with Cordelia.
In the pursuit of a girl, a man must exhibit tenacity and unwavering determination, persistently chasing after her. He thought there might come a time when Cordelia would be moved by his sincerity.
Of course, Lydia understood what he was up to, and her expression instantly became somewhat unnatural.
Richard chuckled awkwardly as he explained, “Well, you see… Cordelia has moved back to Jadeborough, but she will still visit us here frequently.”
He didn’t mention that the number of times they had visited Jadeborough was even more frequent than Cordelia’s visits here.
Myles furrowed his brows and asked, “Is he still hanging out with Lund?”
His tone was clearly tinged with annoyance.
Richard was about to speak, but then he stopped. The couple exchanged a glance, and in the end, they decided to let Lydia explain the situation.
“Myles, you should understand Cordelia’s feelings. She only has eyes for Emrys, and we can’t persuade her otherwise. So, we decided not to interfere in the matters of these young people.”
This was Lydia’s tactful explanation.

It was you who said you’d introduce Cordelia to me, and now it’s also you who says you won’t interfere. Are you toying with me?
