“You… All of you, shut up!” Yelena was furious from her embarrassment and turned to run away. However, she sprained her foot on her high heel and hissed in pain.
Cordelia stood next to her, coldly watching her pathetic state. She had brought this upon herself.
Cordelia pursed her lips. She did not sympathize with Yelena. It was just that she was also a Jenner, so she was one with Yelena to the outsiders. How could she not be embarrassed when she had a family like this?
Before Yelena left, she glared daggers at Cordelia and nearly crushed her teeth from how hard she was gritting them.
Oliver smiled and looked at the crowd. “It’s a misunderstanding. Go on with the event!”
The dinner resumed. Cordelia was not in the mood anymore and was going to turn around when Oliver called out for her from the back.
“Ms. Jenner, please hold on.”
Cordelia could only turn around and greet the man.
Oliver noticed the jade ring on her hand and looked at Marcus, who was beside her. “Aren’t you introducing us?”
Unable to help it, Cordelia could only pull Marcus over to introduce them. “He’s my husband, Marcus Grist. Honey, this is Mr. Oliver Jones, the CEO of the Star Group, whom I’ve mentioned to you before.”
Oliver extended a hand, but Marcus stepped back and nodded. He had noticed that Oliver had a strange expression since he appeared. His eyes looked like they were trying to see through something. Marcus’ hands slowly balled up behind him as he got more on guard.
Oliver’s hand froze mid-air. Marcus’ refusal to shake hands was out of his expectation. He chuckled dryly and ran his hand over his hair to conceal the awkwardness.
