“I think they’re pretty good. What’s the matter?”
“If you think they’re good, then eat more and don’t talk so much!”
“You!” Yelena’s eyes grew wide. “What does it matter to you if I eat more or less? I was just mentioning the truth. Your husband hasn't said anything yet, so why do you have to be so sensitive about it?”
“Relax, Ms. Yelena!” Dwayne chimed in while holding his glass of wine. “Cordelia was just being nice by telling you to eat more. She’s just worried that you might get hungry later. Come, let’s cheer!”
Yelena harrumphed coldly and finished her wine in one gulp.
Cordelia was still fuming with anger. Her jaw was tightly set, and she clenched her fists so tightly that they were shaking.
She turned her head around to look at Marcus. He was still calm despite being insulted by Yelena, and she felt a little sorry for him.
She must be the reason Yelena called him here. He should not be here at all. He did not have to go through all the humiliation. This dinner party was not the same as the banquet last time. They could sneak away through the side door last time, but there were a few people here right now. It was not good for them to sneak away in front of them.
Cordelia lowered her voice and apologized, “Honey, I’m sorry…”
Marcus chuckled lightly and grabbed her hand tightly. Then, he placed her favorite meatball on her plate.
He listened as the people there started discussing stocks.
Oriental, Radeon, and Weston…
He frowned slightly as a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
“Guys, are you interested in these stocks?”
His low magnetic voice stunned them as if a stone was thrown into the water and caused ripples, so they all turned their heads to look at him.
“Umm, do you know stocks as well, Mr. Grist?”
Marcus did not really care about it. After they finished laughing, he grabbed her hand and prepared to bring her away.
He turned around and said, “I’ll give you guys some advice.” Although he was smiling, his smile did not reach his eyes. “Cranes isn’t as good as it seems to be. In short, investment is risky. We should be careful. If you're not careful enough, you'll lose all your money. I hope you guys will take care of yourself.”
The people in the room were stunned. As they watched both of them go away, they let out derisive peals of laughter again.
“Hah! He knows nothing about investment!”
“That’s right! I guess that he didn’t even graduate from primary school. Ms. Yelena, I really admire your sister’s courage. After all, it takes a lot to marry a man like that!”
“Come! Let’s continue!”
However, David fell silent. He thought for a while and secretly called his friend at the stock exchange firm.
