Chapter 197

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.

Moreover, compared to others, their attire was extremely casual, lacking any sense of formality.

Chapter 197 Cocktail Party They were none other than Emrys and Cordelia.

Previously, there had been a debate between the two about whether or not to attend this cocktail party.

In the end. Emrys emerged victorious, and he hid the invitation to prevent Cordelia from tearing it up.

Cordelia couldn’t quite comprehend Emrys‘ actions.

Huxley clearly harbored ill intentions when inviting them to the cocktail party, and they’d end up making a fool out of themselves if they attended. Hence, Cordelia wondered why Emrys insisted on going.

Since Emrys was going, Cordelia couldn’t just stand by and watch him get humiliated. Hence, she tagged along.

Upon arriving at the cocktail party, Emrys headed straight for the buffet area and began digging in.

Cordelia watched in astonishment, reminding him to mind his image.

Emrys responded, “Why should I mind my image in front of a bunch of thieves?”

Cordelia thought Emrys‘ words made sense and joined him, too, venting all her frustrations on food.

However, being a lady, she was much more elegant while eating and felt full after only a few bites.

Emrys, on the other hand, ate as if he had starved for a prolonged period of time, consuming everything like a tornado.

Finally, a department manager from Honeybeauty Group could no longer stand it and approached with a stern face. “Excuse me, could you please present your invitation?”

This private cocktail party was attended exclusively by the company’s top brass, and Emrys and Cordelia clearly weren’t executives. Judging from the way they were vigorously devouring the food, the department manager suspected that they had sneaked in to freeload on food.

“Huxley invited us over,” Emrys responded while stuffing his face, showing absolutely no intention of producing the invitation.
