“Does that mean Ms. Yelena has completely lost her right?”
“Hard to tell… Mr. Jenner was furious when she got conned the last time. I mean, how’s that kind of brain managing a huge group like this?”
Cordelia heard all the whispered comments and tried hard to close them off.
Marcus had told her before. Whatever happened, she had to respond with composure. The calmer she was, the better she could figure out a solution. One would lose their cool easily when they panicked.
Once she thought of her husband, she smiled a little and felt more relaxed.
The board meeting began as scheduled.
William made a brief introduction of Cordelia in the meeting and assigned her corresponding duties. The shareholders watched silently. Even when they were in doubt, they kept up enough of a facade to welcome Cordelia.
After all, there was no set outcome yet. No one dared guarantee what the future would be like. It would be the wisest choice not to offend anyone.
When the meeting ended and everyone left, Cordelia packed and followed behind, prepared to familiarize herself with her working environment.
Just as she got to the lobby on the first floor, which was bustling with people, she heard someone call her from the back.
“Cordelia!”
The moment she turned around, she was greeted with a hard slap!
Her mind blanked as she held her throbbing cheek. It felt like the world fell into a vacuum with countless gazes trained on her. She looked up to see Yelena standing in front of her pompously and glaring at her like she was going to swallow her alive.
“You little b*tch!” She raised her voice to insult Cordelia. “You acted like you’re not interested in the Jenners’ assets, and you finally showed your true colors! You and your shameless mother are the same! Sl*ts!”
