Cherished By Seven Sisters

In the elevator, Angelina cast a disdainful look at the young man standing beside her. She had worked with Cordelia long enough to know that the latter had a younger brother named Gavin who loafed around. As that was the first time she had seen the young man, she was certain he must be a toy boy. However, she couldn’t help but wonder why Emrys could become a toy boy. He was dressed in typical attire and had a plain appearance. His features were not striking enough to make him the ideal mate for Cordelia. Besides, his complexion wasn’t fair at all. “I have no idea what you did to persuade Ms. Youngblood to believe your lies. However, I would advise you to stay away from her. Cordelia Group has worked hard to attain its current level of success. I will not hesitate to take action against you if you affect our listing. Before you try to seduce someone of a higher status, take a look in the mirror. Don’t try to get someone out of your league,” Angelina warned, her voice dripping with disdain. She didn’t bother hiding her contempt for Emrys. Angelina despised toy boys who had ambitions to lead a luxurious lifestyle by wooing women far out of their reach. “Did you hear what I just said?” she asked, stomping her foot angrily. She was hoping Emrys would know his place after listening to her words, but to her dismay, he stayed as composed as ever. Rage blazed within her. When the elevator doors slid open, Emrys finally said calmly, “Angelina, I understand your feelings, but you have no right to lecture me.” Angelina was taken aback at first, but that feeling was quickly replaced with burning anger. “What did you just say?” She ran out of the elevator to reprimand Emrys, but her face fell when she noticed someone approaching her. The man was decked out in a luxurious Versace suit. He was also wearing a diamond-studded Cartier watch and gold-rimmed glasses, making it blatantly obvious that he was of considerable wealth. He was none other than Kane Sheldon from the Sheldon family. “Angelina, I heard Cordelia brought back a toy boy. Is that true?” Kane was courting Cordelia and had many spies in Cordelia Group. He had received news not long after Cordelia brought Emrys to the company. It seemed that he was there to confront Cordelia. Angelina’s expression changed slightly. “Mr. Kane, where did you hear the rumor from? You know that Ms. Youngblood won’t simply take a liking to other men.” Kane heaved a sigh of relief. “I know Cordelia will never do something as absurd as that.” Angelina felt resentment filling her heart when she heard that. Falling for someone with the gentlemanly

manners of Kane was inevitable. Unfortunately, his heart belonged to Cordelia. As that thought occurred to Angelina, she looked daggers at Emrys. I don’t know what Ms. Youngblood is thinking. Why did she fall for someone like that? Compared to Mr. Kane, he’s worthless! While Angelina was glaring at Emrys, his following words made her face pale in horror. “I’m the toy boy Delia brought back.” At once, Kane fixed his gaze on Emrys as the surrounding temperature dropped drastically. Angelina snapped out of her reverie and chided, “Emrys, what are you talking about? Ms. Youngblood has nothing to do with you!” She kept shooting looks at Emrys as she spoke. Alas, Emrys ignored her and continued, “This isn’t a secret. Many people saw us when we came in earlier.” Angelina’s mind went blank. The color drained out of her cheeks. We’re doomed. Damn you, Emrys. Do you want to destroy Cordelia Group? Kane’s expression was dark as he glared at Emrys. “I’ll give you another chance to explain your relationship with Cordelia.” “Delia is someone I’m going to protect for the rest of my life,” Emrys said honestly. “Stop talking nonsense!” Angelina had had enough. She reached out to give Emrys a slap, but the latter caught her arm. “You may be Delia’s friend, but that doesn’t mean I won’t dare to hit you,” he warned icily. Angelina felt a chill going down her spine. Kane sneered, “Young man, don’t you know who I am?” “Indeed, I have no idea who you are.” “I’ll have you know that I’m the son of the Sheldon family in Jadeborough.” “So what?” “So what?” Kane looked at Emrys as if the latter was a fool. “I’ll be frank. The Sheldon family is Cordelia Group’s biggest distributor. If I stop working with them, what do you think will happen to Cordelia Group?” Angelina’s entire being trembled profusely, as her worst nightmare had come true. Emrys is nothing but trouble! Soon, Angelina discovered that wasn’t the worst scenario. The worst had yet to come. Emrys responded calmly, “Well, even the most prominent families in the capital must show me respect, so who are the Sheldons to think they can treat me with anything less?” Entities more powerful than the Sheldon family would plead to distribute Cordelia Group’s products under Emrys’ order. It was natural for him not to take the Sheldon family seriously. Angelina thought that Emrys had gone mad. He isn’t only planning on destroying Cordelia Group. His actions will stop the company from making a comeback! “Get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Kane now!” Angelina ordered. Slap! What she got in response was a slap. “I said, don’t order me around.” Angelina was flabbergasted. Where did Ms. Youngblood find this arrogant savage? “I want to

see Cordelia!” Kane said as he strode to the elevator. He wanted to get an explanation from Cordelia herself. The elevator doors slid open to reveal Cordelia, who had come downstairs. A while earlier, she had been informed of the situation through a phone call. She immediately made her way over, but she was a tad too late. “Cordelia, I’m glad you’re here. Tell me how this young man is related to you!” Kane demanded loudly. Cordelia had wanted to explain the situation, but Kane’s question made her expression turn cold. “I don’t think that concerns you, Mr. Kane.” Kane froze. A wave of fury crashed through him when he regained his composure. She pretended to be innocent but ended up getting a toy boy. What a shameless person! Kane hollered, “Cordelia, have you forgotten that Cordelia Group’s current success is owed to the Sheldon family? Are you forcing me to stop collaborating with you?” “Do as you wish.” Cordelia knew that her company would suffer if they were to stop partnering with the Sheldon family, but she could no longer endure Kane’s attitude. He was acting as though she was his girlfriend when that wasn’t the case. Most importantly, Emrys was her only younger brother. Who would she spoil other than him?Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
