When Cordelia came to work the next day, she felt that everyone was looking at her in a strange way.
She did not know what had happened at all. While she was working, Annie knocked on the door and
entered her office. She went closer to her and whispered into her ear happily, “Everyone in the
company is talking about it. Your husband is a genius!”
Cordelia was stunned. “What do you mean?”
“The stock market!” Annie waved her phone. “There are a lot of things happening on the market right
now! Did you not see it?”
Cordelia was not interested in the stock market, so she rarely paid attention to it. However, after
listening to what Annie said, she became curious about it.
She looked at the market trend and realized that Marcus was right!
She frowned slightly as a strange feeling rose from her stomach pit.
“I heard that those people in the marketing department bought Crane Industry’s stocks, and they’re
now losing money!” Annie said, grinning from ear to ear at their misfortune, “They want to sell those

“Mr. Adler from our department is a lot better than them. He secretly told his friend at the stock
exchange firm to sell those stocks in the morning and buy other stocks… Hah, I can even imagine the
big smile on his face now.”
Cordelia forced a smile on her face. Her brain was a muddled mess right now, and she felt like she was
walking in a fog.
‘Since when did Marcus become so good at investment? Maybe he’s just lucky? He likes to read
financial news and pay attention to the rise and fall of the stock market. Maybe that’s how he manages
to analyze the situation of the stock market correctly.’
It was just that Cordelia still felt somewhat strange. She felt that something was wrong but couldn’t say
what was wrong.
She used to be alone during lunch hour. However, when she came to the canteen today, she was
surrounded by a group of staff.
“Ms. Jenner, come over here!”
“It’s okay. I—” Before she could reject the invitation, someone forced her to sit down.
Someone had already bought a meal for her and put it on the table in front of her. She looked at the
food, and it was several times more expensive than what she usually ate.
Everyone was complimenting her. Some of them even asked her which stocks were going to rise next
week.
Cordelia was caught between tears and laughter. She did not even have the time to eat her meal.
“Cordelia, who is your husband? Is he a genius in investment?”
“I already told you guys that her husband doesn’t look ordinary from the first time I saw him at the
banquet last time. The way he walks and the way he talks… There’s no way he could be an ordinary
man!”
“Hah! Why do I remember that you were the one who said he’s a thug?”
“You…”

They began to fight against each other. Cordelia just looked at them and smiled awkwardly.
In the past, these people had been looking down on her. They did not think she deserved to be their
supervisor, but now, all of them were trying their very best to curry favor with her.
Cordelia let out a sigh helplessly.
She was not very sociable, but she understood that if you wanted others to be kind to you, you needed
to be kind to the other first. It was not something that could be earned with a few flattering words.
“Cordelia, what does your husband do for a living?”
“Huh?” Cordelia was stunned for a moment before replying, “He’s a coach at a boxing club. But he likes
to study stock markets and investment during his free time.”
“Wow! That’s amazing!” Someone said, “We don’t have to eat lunch with an investment genius. We just
need to have a meal with Cordelia to get rich!”
Their laughter echoed throughout the canteen.
In the distance, Yelena was looking at them. She had lost her appetite and clenched her fists so tightly
that her fingers were turning white.
She had planned to humiliate Cordelia by making Marcus look like a fool the previous night.
She did not expect that her plan would backfire!
Her gaze was filled with hatred. She bit her lips tightly and just wanted to rip Cordelia apart and drink
her blood.
