Chapter 193 On The Same Boat
Elaine said, “Ms. Youngblood, I’m fine, ‘World–Enchanting Beauty‘ is about to hit the market. If I—”
“This is an order!” Before Elaine could finish her sentence, Cordelia interrupted her.
After Emrys returned, Cordelia asked him, “Rys, did those people kidnap Lainey because of the facial
mask formula? And did you find out who was their mastermind?”
Just now, concerned that she would upset Elaine and make her trauma worsen, Cordelia refrained from
asking her anything about the kidnapping and urged her to get enough rest. However, upon seeing
Emrys, Cordelia could no longer contain her curiosity.
She was consumed by a desperate need to know just who could be so ruthless.
Emrys said, “We will have an answer to this matter soon, Delia. We can delay the launch of ‘World-
Enchanting Beauty‘ for a while.”
“Why?” Cordelia asked in confusion.
“Because someone will be eager to do something big.”
Emrys didn’t elaborate much. The next day, he took the initiative to contact Leiandros, asking when he

When the day arrived, Leiandros saw Emrys approaching on a bicycle through the restaurant’s glass
window and couldn’t find a proper word to describe his feelings.
His offer to treat Emrys to a meal was just a polite gesture among old friends. It was akin to bumping
into acquaintances on the street, those with whom one shared a decent relationship but weren’t
particularly close, and making small talk about grabbing a meal together someday.
This was merely a formality. If two friends were truly that close, they wouldn’t need to wait for another
day. They would’ve gone for a drink and gotten drunk together on that very day.
However, surprisingly enough to Leiandros, Emrys actually took that seriously and even took the
initiative to contact him. This could only mean that Emrys was indeed having a tough time, calculating
the expenses of every single meal meticulously.
Emrys entered the restaurant and saw Leiandros waving at him. He walked over and said, “The reason
I invited you out this time is because I have something to ask you. Let me treat you to this meal!”
“Let’s eat first. We can talk about who pays later.”
Leiandros shook his head. Emrys is really something. If he wants to freeload a meal, he should just
admit it. There’s no need to put on a show. It’s not like I can’t afford this one meal.
Emrys didn’t bother to explain further. Instead, he asked, “Is Honeybeauty Group under the Bjorn
family?”
Upon hearing these words, Leiandros immediately understood why Emrys wanted to meet him.

So he wants me to find him a job, huh?
Leiandros nodded and said, “Yes. The current person in charge of Honeybeauty Group is my wife’s
elder brother and my brother–in–law, Huxley.”
Huxley.
Emrys silently committed this name to memory.
Leiandros assumed Emrys was too embarrassed to ask him a favor when the latter remained silent.
Hence, he said, “You don’t have to feel embarrassed. Everyone struggles sometimes, and I know your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsituation. I’ll ask Huxley if he can arrange a position for you.”
Although his status in the Bjorn family was low, it wasn’t too difficult for him to help Emrys find a job.
However, the job would be a menial one, barely enough for one to make ends meet.
Leiandros thought Emrys wouldn’t ask for too much since he had ended up in such a pathetic state that
he had to ride a bicycle to freeload on a meal.
Emrys felt awkward as he said, “Actually, I didn’t come to ask you to find me a job-”
Leiandros interrupted him, “That’s enough. There’s no need to feel embarrassed. After all, we both
grew up in the same orphanage. Seeing you like this doesn’t sit well with me. So stop explaining. I’ll
help you find a job to get by.”
He sympathized with Emrys‘ situation.
Leiandros‘ life might seem splendid on the surface after he joined the Bjorn family, but he had to
endure all sorts of grievances at home and didn’t even dare to talk back. Therefore, when he saw
Emrys‘ similarly unfortunate circumstances, he felt as though they were on the same boat.
