Cordelia froze, feeling embarrassed, as she listened to the comments around her.
Donald rolled his eyes arrogantly as he spoke. His assistants made way for him, and he rushed for the door.
When they left, an assistant ran into Cordelia. It was unknown whether that was intentional. Cordelia lost her
balance and nearly fell, dropping the interview equipment in her hands.
“Hey, what are you doing?!” Her cameraman was angry for her.
Cordelia stopped him. “Forget it…”
“Wahl Street elite? This is the kind of people Wahl Street has?”
“Alright, let’s not argue with them here,” Cordelia said softly. “We won’t get anything out of the crowd here. We’ll
only be embarrassing ourselves if we keep making a fuss. Would you want to get scolded by the chief editor?
“Why don’t you head back first?” Cordelia gave it a thought. “I’ll think of something later and see if I can make it to
the next talk!”

The surrounding gazes on Cordelia felt like knives stabbing her. It was as if they were mocking that she was
overestimating herself.
She recomposed herself and was going to pick up her things from the floor when she realized that the hall had
gone incredibly quiet. Everyone’s gaze was on the door. She then heard the strong sound of heels clicking against
the floor.
Donald halted as well. When he saw who it was, he looked both surprised and obsequious. He quickly went up and
fawned over the woman, “Madam Baker, what brings you here?”
“I heard you have a finance talk here, Mr. West,” Janine answered flatly. “So I’m here to learn!”
“You must be joking, Madam Baker! What are my petty skills before you?”
Janine removed her sunglasses. Her gaze was indecipherable as she wore a smirk like she was angry but not. The
impact of her presence made it too scary for one to act boldly in front of her.
“You’re too humble!” Janine looked at him. “An elite back from Wahl Street. Your experience in investing must be a
lot more than ours.”
“You’re flattering me…”
“I’m also looking for suitable investment projects coming back to Centrolis.” Janine smiled. “Are you interested in
introducing a couple to me?”
Donald’s eyes glowed immediately as they widened.
Who was Janine Baker? She was basically mission impossible, yet she stood before him today to talk about investing
with him?
He would be a fool not to seize this opportunity!
“Madam Baker!” Donald rubbed his hands together, grinning from ear to ear. “The current investment environment
in Centrolis is truly decent! If you want to make investments here, I’ll be happy to provide full assistance!
“Hah… My company’s actually specialized in investing. I guarantee you’ll make a profit!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Really?” Janine raised a brow with a complex smirk.
“May I know how big a scale your company is, Mr. West?”
“Our company’s registered capital is $7,000,000!” Donald straightened up proudly and adjusted his necktie. “We
invested in several projects recently and saw hundreds of thousands of dollars of return—”
Before he finished his sentence, Janine interrupted him. “Are you joking with me, Mr. West?
“Only $7,000,000? Then don’t work with me. Any project of the investment companies I’ve worked with makes
$150,000,000 in net profit!”
Donald stared at her dumbly.
Janine spoke with emphasis. “Being arrogant is easy. The point is, you have to have what it takes for you to be
arrogant!”
She pulled out her phone to call her assistant. “Blacklist Donald West. The Baker Group, alongside all the holding
companies of the Hamerton Group, will never work with this man!”
Donald was pale and drenched in a cold sweat. He had no idea what he had said that offended this she-devil!
Janine rolled her eyes at him and walked toward Cordelia. She picked up what the latter had scattered on the floor
and put a hand on her shoulder, giving her a warm smile.
Everyone in the hall looked at Cordelia with bated breaths and in disbelief.
