Chapter 178 Confrontation
Lydia asked in a hoarse voice, “Ms. Gomez is it because of Emrys that you have no authority to make
decisions?”
She merely asked tentatively,
After all, there were simply too many doubts in his heart.
Originally, Elaine had no intention of answering those people’s questions. However, upon hearing
Lydia’s inquiry, she looked at the latter in surprise. Nonetheless, she didn’t say much else and turned to
leave the place.
Lydia was instantly frozen in place.
Her voluptuous b*dy trembled incessantly.
Elaine didn’t utter a word, but her gaze said it all. A shocking, almost unbelievable answer was on the
verge of bursting forth from Lydia’s heart. Her guesses was correct, the secret formula for World-
Enchanting Beauty was indeed provided by Emrys.
At that moment, Lydia’s mind instantly plunged into a void. Could it be… Have I really misjudged
Emrys?
Outside of Cultural Palace,
When the governor’s secretary saw Chandler emerge, he respectfully greeted, “Mr. York!”
Chandler nodded, but instead of getting into his car, he said, “You go ahead and drive back. I’m going
to have dinner with a couple of friends later. I’ll take a taxi by myself then.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“All right!” The secretary dared not ask too many questions.
Whatever his boss said, he simply had to follow.
As he was preparing to drive away, he glanced out of the car window. He saw Chandler walking toward
• two people with a beaming smile on his face. Clearly, his two friends had arrived.
One of them was Roger, the person in charge of the Balford family, whom the secretary knew.
However, the other was a young man.
Judging by Chandler’s demeanor, he seemed quite familiar with the young man. It was definitely not
the kind of familiarity seen between two people of different generations. Rather, it was more like two
friends who held mutual respect for each other.
As such, the secretary wondered who the young man was, appearing seemingly close to Chandler. Not
only that, Chandler even had his arm draped over the young man’s shoulder!
Upon witnessing that scene, the secretary was instantly filled with shock!
The young man who could make Chandler lower his guard and act chummily was naturally Emrys.
However, as soon as Chandler felt the crowd’s gaze turning toward them, he immediately removed his
arm from Emrys‘ shoulder.

Chapter 178 Confrontation
Instantly, he restored his demeanor as the governor.
He would occasionally furrow his brows in deep thought, and from time to time, he would nod in
agreement.
It was as if they were discussing matters of national importance. However, in reality, the topic they were
deliberating was where they would go to satiate their hunger later.
Roger suggested, “I know there’s a newly opened seafood restaurant nearby that’s quite good. How
about I take you all there to try it out?”
Chandler shook his head and said, “Eating too much seafood isn’t good for your health. Let’s go to The
Gathering and order some home–style dishes instead!”
Roger said. “I didn’t ask you to eat seafood every day, just once in a while. Are you afraid of getting
gout? Even if you do, don’t we still have Dr. Lund over here?”
Chandler shook his head and said, “I want homestyle dishes today, though.”
Roger said, “I still find eating seafood more enjoyable.”
Emrys had never even dreamed that those two high–ranking individuals would endlessly argue over
something as trivial as what to eat.
“Stop arguing, you two,” Emrys said. “Just listen to me. Let’s eat at that place!”
Emrys was nursing a throbbing headache. Finally, in resignation, he pointed toward a barbecue stall
named ‘Lowe’s Barbecue‘ up ahead, suggesting they eat there.
The two individuals instantly exchanged glances. Open–air barbecue? That’s a little…
Before they could respond, Emrys had already entered the barbecue stall. Roger was the first to react.
Glancing at Chandler with a sneer, he said, “Wow, Mr. York is really something. Can’t even let go of his
pride to eat at a roadside barbecue.”
After he finished speaking, he took a large stride, closely following Emrys into the barbecue stall,
“Roger, you better explain yourself clearly. Who can’t let go of their pride?” Chandler was furious.
Since he assumed the role of governor, he had always been approachable and loved the people. There
was absolutely no issue of him putting on airs. Therefore, when he heard Roger’s words, he was
extremely angry. He went straight in and asked the shop owner for three crates of beer, ready to teach
Roger a lesson
