Chapter 135 Putting Up A Bluff
Richard froze momentarily at his words.
Emrys continued calmly, “Let me remind you that you are not in a position to dictate or instruct me on
my relationship with Delia. If I ever hear you utter such words again, I will not hesitate to teach you a
lesson, even if you’re Delia’s father.”
With that, he spun on his heels and returned to the living room.
At the same time, Richard could barely hide his shock.
Emrys might be young, but he’s intimidating. He nearly intimidated me even though I’m the head of the
Youngblood family. Just how confident is he?
Despite Richard’s initial bewilderment, he quickly calmed down and shot Emrys a look. He’s only in his
twenties. How capable can he be? He’s most probably putting up a bluff. Yes, that must be it.
Richard felt a rush of emotions before he returned to the living room.
While Richard engaged in conversation with Emrys, Lydia took the opportunity to have a heartfelt
discussion with Cordelia in her room. Lydia expressed her desire for Cordelia to abandon her current
life and return to the Youngblood family, emphasizing that they could offer her a superior and more
promising future.
Nevertheless, Cordelia stood her ground and expressed her firm stance. “If you are here to truly accept
me as your daughter, I am open to that. However, asking me to abandon my current life is out of the
question. I have six friends I treat as sisters and Emrys, and I am content with the life I have built. I
hope I won’t hear you mention this topic ever again.”
In the end, they parted ways on a sour note.
Richard sighed. “Perhaps we’re too hasty. We‘ shouldn’t expect Cordelia to come home with us
immediately after meeting her. It’s only natural for her to feel resistant. Let’s take things slowly and give
her the time she needs.”
Lydia nodded. “That’s the only way. I hope she can understand that we only mean well.”
Before their departure, Lydia discreetly called Emrys aside and shared her thoughts with him. “If you
genuinely desire what is best for Cordelia, I implore you to consider advising her to return to the
Youngblood family.”
Emrys merely gave her a cold look and responded, “You don’t have to worry, for I’ll take good care of
Delia.”
“Do you truly believe you possess the capability to provide for her needs? The Youngblood family can
offer her the very best. Can you match that?” Lydia demanded skeptically.
Assuming that Cordelia’s reluctance to return to the Youngblood family was influenced by Emrys, Lydia
directed her frustrations toward him, using him as a target for her venting.
Emrys maintained his composure throughout Lydia’s venting, and once she had finished, he

responded with unwavering calmness. “I can offer Cordelia everything that the Youngblood family can.
provide and even more. What I can provide for her surpasses the capabilities of a thousand
Youngblood families,” he stated.
“What an arrogant young man!” Lydia sneered. “Remember what you said today. I can’t wait to see how
you’ll provide the best for Cordelia!”
“Time will prove everything.”
“Time will prove that you’re dreaming!”
Richard and Lydia departed from Verdant Estate in a state of annoyance. Despite their initial joy of
reuniting with their daughter, they felt upset at Emrys‘ demeanor.
They perceived him as arrogant and flippant, lacking the necessary capabilities. In their eyes, he
appeared to excel only in arguments, leaving them with doubts about his true suitability for Cordelia.
“I just don’t understand what Cordelia sees in a man like him. When he eventually breaks her heart,
she’ll come to appreciate those of us who truly care for her,” Lydia grumbled in the car.
Richard’s lips curled into a smile as he responded, “They have a special bond as they grew up together
in the orphanage. It’s only natural for them to be close. Most importantly, I think Cordelia has yet to
meet a man with better qualities.”
“Oh, that’s right!” Lydia slapped her head and exclaimed, “If I’m not mistaken, the son of the Atkinson
family is coming home after studying abroad. We can find a chance to introduce him to Cordelia!”
They discussed the matter and thought it would work.
Cordelia didn’t know if she should feel happy or sad.
Yelena blinked twice and went up to her, wrapping an arm around her neck. “Delia, why are you feeling
torn? No matter what your decision is, we’ll always be your besties. Rys will always love you the most!”
