Chapter 203

Chapter 203 Bringing The Dead Back To Life Cordelia furrowed her brows, suddenly exuding an authoritative aura akin to an elder sister. However, she quickly softened, playfully shaking Emrys‘ arm as she said, “Just think of it as shopping with me.

You’ve been back for so long, yet you haven’t once accompanied me shopping.”

It wasn’t the stern authority of Cordelia that he feared but rather her coquettish charm. Her soft, sweet voice was enough to melt his heart.

In the end, the two of them arrived at Haven Mall.

In the fashion department, the moment Emrys tried on a suit, his entire demeanor was instantly highlighted.

In truth, Emrys wasn’t particularly fond of wearing suits. However, when Cordelia expressed her desire to see him in one and even began to act coyly, what else could Emrys do? Cordelia, who was once such a cold and aloof figure, had started to act like a young girl. How could he possibly not indulge her?

So, he changed into a white suit.

He stood tall and straight.

He was the epitome of elegance and grace and exuded the demeanor of a refined gentleman.

When he looked over in this direction, the hint of a roguish smile that played at the corner of his mouth didn’t evoke any sense of disgust. On the contrary, it was filled with charm.

Cordelia couldn’t help but feel her heart race.

If Emrys were to wear this suit at our wedding ceremony in the future, and I were to don a pure white wedding gown as we walked arm in arm through the grand hall…Oh dear, what am I thinking? He’s my younger brother!

Cordelia hastily patted her head, interrupting her wild thoughts.

It’s all Mom’s fault for constantly calling Emrys her good son–in–law. It almost makes me believe that I’m Emrys‘ girlfriend.

“Miss, your boyfriend is really handsome and has such a good temperament. You two are the most visually compatible couple I’ve ever seen,” the saleswoman praised.

Cordelia had just snapped back from her daydream when she heard the saleswoman’s words. She felt as if her inner thoughts had been seen through. She hurriedly explained, “He’s… my younger brother.”

“Your younger brother?” The saleswoman paused for a moment. “Seeing how sweet you two are together, I thought you were a couple. I’m really sorry… Hehe, um, Miss, since he’s your younger brother, could you possibly give me his contact information?”

The saleswoman suddenly gave a suggestive wink, clearly taking a liking to Emrys.

Cordelia’s pretty face turned cold, and she immediately became as protective as a mother tiger guarding her cub, declaring decisively, “No way!”

Chapter 203 Bringing The Dead Back To Life The two of them emerged from Haven Mall, carrying many bags.

When they returned to Verdant Estate, they were unexpectedly greeted by an uninvited guest who was standing at the entrance of the mansion. A car was parked nearby, with two b*dyguards standing guard beside it.

Huxley.

He actually wasn’t arrested?

Cordelia’s face subtly changed as she asked, “Huxley, what brings you here?”

Upon seeing the two, Huxley immediately walked over with a broad smile and said, “I missed you.

That’s why I made a special trip to see you!”

From his face, there was no trace of the anger he had felt a few days ago when Pretty Face had encountered quality issues.

He looked like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Even if his anger within was immense, outwardly, he still maintained a cheerful expression. This was a truly terrifying personality.

Had it not been for the day when Emrys called him and heard his frantic and furious cursing, Emrys would have thought he never knew how to get angry.

Huxley did not overly fuss over Cordelia. Instead, he walked toward Emrys with a smile. However, his smile was not genuine. It was more of a forced grin, which was even more unsettling than his usual expressionless face..

“I knew it was you who did it.”

Huxley went straight to the point, referring, of course, to the incident where his family’s safe was pried open and the off–the–books transaction records were stolen.

Emrys did not deny it; instead, he asked, “What I’m really curious about is, how did you manage to get out?”

Huxley chuckled before he looked at Emrys with a playful gaze. “The power of the Bjorn family is far greater than you could ever imagine. Moreover, in this world, as long as you have money, even bringing the dead back to life isn’t a difficult task. Surprised, aren’t you?”
