As expected, William, who was on the stairs, stopped moving. His face was getting grim.
The secretary wanted to step in, but he stopped her.
He wanted to know what his daughters would say!
Cordelia said calmly, “Sister, don’t you know why I got married? If dad didn’t dote on you and love you, how would I be the one who got married instead?
“It’s inappropriate to talk about our family matters in the office. You should stop.”
After saying that, she wanted to walk past her to get the elevator, but Yelena rushed toward her.
“What? You wouldn’t dare to fight me?” She looked barbaric. “What happened to your capability? What happened to your tongue that’s so good at talking!? Hah, you dare not fight me now? Who are you pretending to be weak for, you b*tch!”
Cordelia was waiting for her to stir things up!
She peeped at her with her side eye and suddenly scoffed. “What capability do I have, sister? Dad loves you and is going to give you his business in the future. I’m just picking up the pieces and laying the path for you.”
“Yeah, right! Who knows what tricks you have up your sleeves?”
“All I want is to serve you, really.”
The more Yelena came closer, the more Cordelia advanced by retreat. “I’m nothing in the Jenners. You’re the family’s only heiress. I wouldn’t dare to fight that with you!”
“Who said she’s the Jenners’ only heiress?”
The roar pierced like a sharp arrow, silencing the entire lobby. Everyone stared in the direction where the roar came from, stunned.
William’s face was grimmer than his footsteps. He glared at Yelena in disappointment and stood next to Cordelia.
His voice was deep as he spoke. “Cordelia, remember, you’re a Jenner too. You’re also my daughter.”
She said nothing. Yelena, who was aside, immediately stared at her in rage.
“Dad!”
