Chapter 104 Humiliation
+10 pearls
Wilfred scoffed as he believed that the assassin from Shadow Garden was the reason for Benedict’s
confidence.
Benedict lay twitching on the ground in pain, barely able to utter a word. His face was swollen and
bruised. Yet, his eyes still glimmered with defiance.
Wilfred, however, refrained from delivering the final blow. Instead, he ordered his b*dyguards to take
Benedict back and imprison him. He intended to inflict further torment once the assassin from Shadow
Garden walked into their trap.
Before leaving, Wilfred cast a contemptuous glance at Osmond and the others. “Your so–called backer
is nothing but garbage in my eyes. Remember, from this day on, I, Wilfred, am the almighty man in
Jadeborough!”
He laughed arrogantly, confident in his superiority.
Had it not been for Benedict’s stubbornness, Wilfred wouldn’t have bothered dealing with these useless
fools.
Meanwhile, Angelina held her head high, feeling smug to the core.
The Chalker family was already formidable, and now with the addition of a martial arts expert as their
uncle, it was only a matter of time before they dominated Jadeborough.
She had made the right choice by marrying into the Chalker family.

“Cordelia, you think you’re so outstanding, but no matter how exceptional you are, you will always be
inferior to me. Forever and ever!”
When the Chalkers ruled over Jadeborough, Osmond would be driven out of the region.
Cordelia’s situation would inevitably deteriorate without the support and protection of her influential
backer, Osmond.
That day would arrive soon.
Whenever Angelina thought of Cordelia’s upcoming plight, she couldn’t help but smirk in anticipation.
Even after the Chalkers departed, Osmond and the rest stayed rooted on the spot for a long time, their
expressions glum.
They knew that the Chalker family would undoubtedly be annihilated once Emrys made a move.
However, they had to wait for another two or three days for that to happen.
Normally, such a short period of time would pass in the blink of an eye, but now, each day felt

like a year.
The memory of the humiliation they had just endured and the arrogant expression on Wilfred’s face
weighed heavily on their minds. They were eager for the day of the Chalker family’s banquet to arrive.
If only Empyrean Lord could take action immediately.
Unbeknownst to them, Emrys was not at Jadeborough at the moment, which was why he couldn’t
make a move. He had little interest in current affairs too, and so remained unaware that the city had
undergone a drastic change.
More importantly, Caylie and Yelena had initially refrained from informing them as they were concerned
about the potential impact on Cordelia’s project.
Meanwhile, Osmond and his men firmly believed that their lord had his own plans and intended to
settle this score on Tyson’s sixtieth birthday.
In truth, if Osmond were to inform Emrys about the matter now, the latter would undoubtedly storm into
the Chalker family’s residence instead of waiting till the banquet.
Meanwhile, a man and a woman sat in the grand reception hall of the Gage Group headquarters
located in Summerbank. The man exuded an air of confidence with his well–groomed appearance and
charismatic smile, while the woman captivated all who laid eyes on her.
The man was Emrys while the woman was Cordelia.
Shortly after, a woman dressed in black stockings and high heels pushed open the door and walked in.
She apologized, “I’m very sorry, but Mr. Gage is not meeting any visitors today. I’m afraid you’ll have to
leave.”
“Not meeting visitors? But we made an appointment in advance, didn’t we?” Cordelia’s brows furrowed
in displeasure.

Before coming to Summerbank, she had already arranged a meeting with the boss of Gage Group.
They had been waiting for quite some time, only to be met with such a dismissive
response.
It was utterly disrespectful.
Though visibly annoyed, Cordelia refrained from complaining too much. After all, she was the one
seeking their assistance.
Just then, a middle–aged man in a well–tailored suit arrived at the entrance. The secretary immediately
greeted him with a smile and said, “Mr. Yves, please come this way. Mr. Gage has been waiting for
quite some time.”
The sudden change in attitude was astounding.
Cordelia naturally felt indignant. She stood up and questioned the secretary, “Didn’t you just say

that Mr. Gage was not receiving visitors today?”
The secretary didn’t respond to her question immediately. Instead, she escorted the middle–aged man
to her boss‘ office before returning to the reception hall. “Ms. Youngblood, Mr. Gage has already
reviewed your company’s information.”
