Chapter 161

Chapter 161 A Surprise The playful banter between the siblings made Jacqueline feel uneasy. She turned her head and glanced at Roger, expressing her helplessness.

See, it’s not that I didn’t try hard enough; the competition is just too strong.

Roger’s mood was also extremely heavy.

At this moment, Lydia suddenly coughed twice, separating the siblings. She spoke to Cordelia with a serious tone. “Cordelia, this young man is fine now. Although we didn’t save him, the words you just said in the car should still count, right?”

Cordelia’s face faltered, wanting to back out, but she heard Emrys comforting her. “Delia, stay at the Youngblood family for a while. I will take care of Cordelia Group for you. Believe me, it won’t be long before I present you with a grand gift.”

Emrys didn’t even need to ask. Just by looking at Lydia’s expression, he knew what she was planning.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Lydia immediately smirked and said, “Well, well, you’ve finally seen the light after a narrow escape from death. If you had been this sensible earlier, would we have gotten into such a big mess?”

Emrys didn’t even bother to respond, causing the first beauty of Jazona to twitch her cheeks a few times. She felt dissatisfied, but she chose to endure it.

After all, if this young man could persuade Cordelia, it would be a good thing.

On the side, Roger was filled with immense confusion upon seeing Lydia’s dismissive attitude toward Emrys. However, he quickly understood. It seems that the Youngblood family is still unaware of Dr.

Lund’s capabilities! Ha! Isn’t this a great opportunity for our family?

Roger was overjoyed in his heart, silently standing aside to watch the show. However, it wasn’t long before Lydia walked over to him and said, “Mr. Balford, you really do dote on your precious daughter!”

She cast a meaningful glance at Jacqueline.

Lydia assumed that Emrys was saved by Roger. The reason Roger intervened was due to his daughter, Jacqueline.

Of course, Roger knew what Lydia was thinking, but he chose not to expose it. The deeper Lydia’s misunderstanding, the better it would be for his family.

“I’m suddenly curious. What kind of terms did you propose to such a domineering person like Erwin, to convince him to release that young man surnamed Lund?” Lydia asked./

“It has nothing to do with you!” Roger said, his expression cold and indifferent.

“Tch! Who cares anyway.”

Lydia rolled her eyes and suddenly looked at Jacqueline, saying, “Miss, your taste isn’t that great. You actually fancy a barbarian like Emrys.”

Chapter 161 A Surprise “What’s wrong with me liking him? Your daughter also…

Jacqueline wanted to argue back defiantly but suddenly felt the warning gaze from her father. Moger Consequently, she obediently closed her mouth.

Lydia gave Roger a thoughtful look, wondering what exactly they were up to.

Roger came up with an idea and said, “I just want to find a matrilocal son–in–law to inherit my family business. It just happens that my daughter has set her sights on Dr… Emrys. So, don’t find it strange “Oh? Aren’t you afraid your son might object?” Lydia asked, her expression peculiar.

“Hmph, that good–for–nothing Sebastian isn’t worthy!”

“Then I can tell you in advance, if Sebastian is not worthy, that guy with the surname Lund is even more unworthy.”

“This is a matter concerning my family. Ms. Ginger, aren’t you meddling a bit too much? You couldn’t possibly have taken a liking to Emrys, planning to take him as your son–in–law, could you?”

Roger deliberately used provocative tactics, and sure enough, Lydia exploded in anger, saying, “What kind of joke is this? I’m not as blind as you. Even if I die, I will never let that guy with the surname Lund into my family!”

Roger was relieved to hear that.

In the end, Richard and Lydia took Cordelia with them and left.

Emrys was not at all worried.

When he said he would give Cordelia a huge surprise, it was definitely not a joke. This surprise would be enough to shake the Youngblood family.

And this day would come very soon.
