Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 171

"I'm closing early today." Cordelia wore a blank face. "Please head out. I don't have what you need here!"

Their coworkers looked awkward as they shifted their gazes to Yelena.

Yelena snickered and crossed her arms, gesturing for them to sit tight. "Sis, closing this early isn't beneficial to your rent, is it?"

"Rent?" Cordelia arched her brow. "My husband is paying the rent and running the store. My husband says that starting up this cafe is just so I'm happy, so I can close whenever I'm happy. I don't have to worry about money!

"Besides..." She wiped the counter down as she looked at her and said, "This is a place for coffee and desserts, not for you to gossip!"

"It's already an issue maintaining your business, so why are you acting so arrogantly!?" Yelena felt embarrassed for not being able to dominate Cordelia in front of their coworkers.

"Fine, we can leave! But you must know that your cafe will close sooner or later with so many bad reviews on the Internet!"

"What does closing down or not have to do with you?"

"Nothing, of course." Yelena sneered. "It does with your husband! Sigh, Cordelia, cafes are places of ambiance and mood, but you had to put your husband here. Isn't this digging your own grave?" Cordelia's grip on the coffee mug tightened.

"My husband doesn't rob or steal. He's earning his own worth. What about it? Why is it digging my own grave?"

"Because he used to-"

"The past is in the past!" Cordelia was getting emotional. "You don't have to keep bringing it up!"

"Hah, angry, aren't you?" Yelena was pleased to see her like this. She had never lost to Cordelia in their fights since they were kids. She had assumed that Cordelia's life was ruined when she made the latter marry Marcus in place of her and that she would be able to trample her into the soil.

It was unexpected that Cordelia's life got better with Marcus! Whenever Yelena thought about it, it felt like her heart was pricked.

Now that she finally got this chance, she was going to insult and humiliate Cordelia with her all.

"Ay, how do you get along so well with a felon? I hear that people like this are born this way. Heh... your kids won't inherit such genes, will they?"

Cordelia shot daggers at her but ignored her and turned to switch on the coffee machine. As the machine rumbled to life, it concealed Yelena's snickers. Yelena thought that Cordelia was scared of her, so she only grew bolder in mocking her. "You're so mentally strong! How do you do it? Show me!"

Cordelia focused on making coffee and stayed silent.

"Come on, show me!" Yelena raised her voice. "Show me!"

The coffee machine went quiet all of a sudden.

Cordelia twirled around and poured a fresh iced coffee right on top of Yelena's head!

Taken by surprise, Yelena felt chills from the top of her head. Her hair got matted, and her fake eyelashes were stuck together because of the coffee. Her makeup was ruined. The others were dumbfounded, frozen in place.

Cordelia chuckled. "Didn't you ask me to shower you?"

"There you go, a shower! Did I hear it wrong?"

Yelena was pale and shaking in anger.

"Cordelia! You b*t-"

Before she could finish, Cordelia picked up a cup of steaming hot coffee and acted like she was going to splash her with it.

Yelena screamed and instinctively covered her face.

Cordelia's hand paused in the air, and she ultimately put the mug down.

Cordelia said through her gritted teeth, "Yelena Jenner, listen carefully. I don't care how you treat me, but my husband is where I draw the line!"
