Cherished By Seven Sisters

Smack! The second the slap was delivered, the entire crowd fell silent. Everyone had their eyes opened so wide that their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. That’s the Sheldon family’s son! Is he out of his mind? Cordelia’s toy boy is a lunatic! Angelina rushed over to help Kane up. She then turned around and shouted at Emrys, “You’re doomed! You too, Cordelia! Everyone in Cordelia Group is doomed!” Angelina was glad that she had left Cordelia Group in time. Otherwise, the insane Emrys would have dragged her to hell with him. Angelina’s shouts made the hearts of Cordelia Group’s employees skip a beat. She’s right. That slap has doomed Cordelia Group, and we, as the employees of the company, will probably face the Sheldon family’s wrath too. They all turned to look at Emrys with resentment. Why must this toy boy ruin Cordelia Group? Why must he ruin us? “You b*stard! I want you dead! I’m going to kill all of you here!” Molten anger coursed through Kane. His teeth were knocked out, his glasses were shattered, and his dignity was trampled on. How would he appease his anger if he did not kill Emrys? Everyone in the company was shaking. Terror had consumed their rationality. Emrys, the culprit, however, was still fearless. He said, “I’m going to give you some time to make your call. You can summon as many people as you want to. I’ll be waiting for you to kill me.” What? The employees of Cordelia Group felt as if Emrys’ words had punched the air out of their lungs. Someone cried out frightfully, “Mr. Kane, I’ll quit Cordelia Group right away! This has nothing to do with me!” “It’s too late! You’re next after I’m done with this rat!” Kane was forcing them all into a corner. They could only direct their wrath on Emrys. If looks could kill, they would have already murdered him thousands of times over. Right then, the staff backstage anxiously woke Cordelia up and said, “Bad news, Ms. Youngblood!” The moment Cordelia heard the staff member’s recount, colors drained out of her face. She stumbled her way back to the conference room. “Mr. Kane, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! I never thought things would turn out this way!” “Hmph! Now you’re calling me Mr. Kane and apologizing to me? Why, aren’t you a proud woman? Aren’t you always so unfriendly toward me? Come on, keep up with your proud act, b*tch!” Smack! Once again, Kane was slapped in the face so hard that a few more of his teeth flew out of his mouth. “Watch your mouth,” Emrys snapped. However, in the next second, the sound of another slap rang out in the room again. Smack! This time, Emrys was the one who wasContent provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

slapped. He froze. He could have avoided it, but he did not, for the one who had hit him was Cordelia. “Emrys, have you lost your mind?” Cordelia was in agony. If not for the desperate situation, she would not have been able to bring herself to hit Emrys. However, things were getting out of hand. The slap was for Emrys’ sake, too. She did not want him to worsen the situation. Bam! Right then, someone kicked the conference room door open. Dozens of b*dyguards in black and a middle-aged man barged in. “Benedict! Your son just got beaten up! Aren’t you going to avenge him?” Kane screeched with a lisp as he crawled toward the middle-aged man. Benedict Sheldon was livid the second he saw that his son had been beaten up so badly. “Who the f*ck did this? Get on your knees before me and apologize!” “I’m the one who did it. I’ll be the one to bear the responsibility for this.” Right as Emrys was about to speak, a figure stepped in front of him. It was Cordelia. She was ready to bear all the mistakes Emrys had made. “You?” Benedict’s eyes widened. Naturally, he did not believe that a woman would be able to leave Kane in that state. When the employees of Cordelia Group saw that, their hearts sank. They could not believe that Cordelia was still trying to protect her toy boy. Right then, Angelina stepped forward and piped up, “It wasn’t her. It was the toy boy behind her who did it!” Instantly, Benedict fixed his furious gaze on Emrys, who was standing behind Cordelia. Angelina mocked, “Loser, weren’t you arrogant a moment ago? Why are you hiding behind a woman like a coward now?” “Shut up, Angelina!” Cordelia snarled. “Hah, Cordelia, I’m no longer an employee of Cordelia Group, so you have no right to give me orders.” “You—” Right as Cordelia was about to say something else, a warm hand held her shoulder. “Delia, I can deal with this. I should be responsible for this until the end,” Emrys said, then stepped forward. Cordelia was about to ask how he was going to deal with the situation, but she swallowed her words when she saw Emrys’ back. Emrys did not have the broadest back, but somehow, his back gave her an inexplicable sense of security. Moreover, it seemed that he was confident with how tranquil his voice was. But the Sheldon family is powerful… At that moment, Emrys had reached Benedict. In a flat tone, he said, “I was the one who beat up that stupid boy of yours. Is there a problem?” Is there a problem? The very second those words were out of Emrys’ mouth, everyone in the conference room froze, including Benedict. Are you really asking him if there’s a problem after beating up his son? Also, I can’t believe he has the guts to call Benedict’s son a stupid boy in front of

Benedict himself! How is he so bold? The tension in the conference room was palpable. Angelina, Tobias, Henry, and the others were at the side, quietly waiting for Emrys to walk himself to the path of no return. Thank god we’ve chosen to stand on the same side as Mr. Kane. If we stayed in Cordelia Group, this toy boy would screw us over. “You brat! How dare you? Kill him!” Finally, with Benedict’s roar, the conflict reached its peak, and the dozens of b*dyguards in black behind him rushed over to Emrys. “Ah!” Screams filled the room, and the reporters all scurried to hide in the corners, fearing that they would be caught up in the fight. Emrys remained rooted in his spot as he calmly said, “Stand back!” All the b*dyguards stiffened as their minds turned blank. When they returned to their senses, Emrys had already defeated them easily. “Y-You useless good-for-nothings! Why didn’t you fight back?” Benedict bellowed. To him and the others, the b*dyguards seemed to have gone along with Emrys’ actions, for they did not fight back at all. Then a flash of shock appeared in Benedict’s eyes. Emrys had reached him.
