Chapter 948 Asking To Meet Emrys Remarkably, Cordelia herself seemned unaffected by it This indicated that the power wouldn’t do her any harm, which alleviated some of Emrys worries.

“Is that so?”

Cordelia was not at all happy upon hearing that, instead, she said in dejection. “I know you’re trying to comfort me. You’re well aware of my insecurities, and that’s why you’re saying these things. You’re trying not to hurt my feelings, but it only makes me feel worse.”

“I’m not trying to-” Emrys interjected, but Cordelia cut him off.

“Yes, you are!” Her tone was firm. “If you don’t want to accept me, just say it. There’s no need for these absurd excuses. I won’t make things difficult for you “It’s not that I don’t want to accept you, it’s just that… I can’t.” Emrys confessed, his thoughts screaming internally, I fear you’d kill me!

Before Emrys could finish his sentence, he heard Cordelia’s mournful response. See, you finally admitted it. You think I’m not good enough for you. Otherwise, why won’t you accept me even when I’ve offered myself to you so willingly?”

Great. We’ve circled back again. How should I explain this?

Emrys felt a headache coming on, but he cautiously placed his hand on Cordelia’s shoulder, relieved when there was no eruption of cold energy. He spoke earnestly. “Delia, think carefully. During our intimate moment just now, did you feel anything Yet, Cordelia’s thoughts seemed to wander elsewhere, her face flushing inexplicably. She murmured, “I… I was nervous, I didn’t feel anything…”

There was nothing Emrys could say. Just then, his cell phone, which he had carelessly tossed on the table, rang, shattering the awkward silence.

This time, he didn’t mute it.

The call came in at just the right time.

Emryswered the phone and inquired, “What’s up, Osmond?”

Chigner dide Juring to Mrs Louys I was indeed Osmond who attest.

Osmond’s voice carried a hint of seriousness as he replied, “Empyrean Lord, that culovator from before has returned, and this time with someone new Since Osmond ascended to the potion of jadeborough King his influence had expanded more than twofold from before. Now not only did he control the South River District, but also the North River Diorier, firmly establishing himself as the unrivaled power in the His network of spies was extensive, infiltrating every comer of the region.

It was this far–reaching network that allowed him to respond swiftly after the collapse of Apricot Hall Without Osmond’s proactive measures to contact Emrys, the aftermath of the tragedy would have been considerably worse.

Moments ago, Osmond received yet another message from his henchman, stating that the troublemaker who had caused disturbance previously had returned. This individual even had the audarity to demand a meeting with Emrys Osmond hurriedly made his way to meet the unexpected visitors, finding only two individuals awaiting him–Logan and the unfamiliar figure of Zephyr.

While Osmond had never encountered Zephyr before, Logan appeared sincere and polite medicating they were not here for revenge.

What is he playing at?”

Chapter 948 Asking To Meet Emrys 1 *

18:23 Half an hour was enough to circle the entire Jadeborough.

Zephyr couldn’t fathom why Emrys hadn’t appeared yet, thinking he was probably messing with them.

As the esteemed scion of the Lestrange family, he’d never been disrespected like this before.

Apparently, he was in a foul mood.

Logan reassured, “Calm down, Mr. Lestrange. Maybe Mr. Lund was held up by something. We must remember that we’re here to seek his assistance. It wouldn’t be reasonable to anticipate an immediate response.”

Seck his assistance?

Zephyr’s annoyance deepened at Logan’s words.

He hadn’t come to plead but to reclaim what was rightfully his–the secret technique.

If Logan hadn’t continually emphasized how powerful Emrys was, warning him against provoking Emrys, Zephyr would have demanded Emrys‘ whereabouts directly from Osmond and confronted him without delay.
