The rain grew heavier, and the corridor was almost flooded.
Victoria tugged at the scarf around her, surprised that the weather in Corynthea was
this cold. She fell into a daze after standing still, recalling the ‘Mr. Cadogan‘ she
heard earlier…
As usual, she didn’t feel anything when she heard the surname. That said, she knew
the ‘Mr. Cadogan‘ from tonight was different from the person she had encountered
at her job earlier.
This was Corynthea; she was in Jasea. Only one person with this last name could
casually afford 85 million and be invited here.
It’s been five years since we last met… She took a deep breath and walked in
another direction.
“Miss Selwyn,”
She had only taken a few steps when a tall, dashing figure blocked her path.
Victoria looked toward the man, slightly stumped.

He was dressed in a blue suit with a meticulously tied tie. When he saw her look up,
he smiled and introduced himself, saying, “Hello, I’m Jordan Floyd.”

Jordan Floyd? The heir of the Floyd Family that Ethan and I were talking about?
At the sight of her being lost in thought, Jordan quirked a brow. “Do you not Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
recognize me, Miss Selwyn? I’ve sent you several job invitations. Isn’t it a little
hurtful that you don’t know who I am?”
“Not really.” Victoria returned the handshake. “I was just wondering why you’d be
here.”
She’d be lying if she said she recognized the new heir of Floyd Corporation, for she
was too busy to check. However, that didn’t stop her from faking it.
If she were to open a company in Jasea, she’d have to establish good relationships
with these enterprises.
Her hand was soft and lovely, and Jordan was stumped for a moment when he held
it before eventually coming around, for she had withdrawn her hand as soon as their
palms made contact.
In the meantime, Jordan sized her up for a few seconds before asking, “Why are you

out here, Miss Selwyn?”
“To catch some fresh air.”
“I see.” Jordan quirked a brow. “By the way, Miss Selwyn, may I ask why you’ve
repeatedly rejected my job invitations? After all, the conditions I offered were much
better than what you received in your previous job.”
Victoria thought for a moment and decided not to mention her plan of starting a
company for the time being. At that, she replied, “I’m sorry, my rejection is due to
personal reasons. It has nothing to do with your offer.”
He wasn’t an unreasonable hooligan either, so he didn’t press on when she said it
was personal. “Well, I can only hope that your private matters can be resolved soon
so that I can invite you to join Floyd Corporation.”
She was taken aback by that, and she was just about to speak up when Jordan
removed his suit jacket and draped it around her. “I suggest that you dress warmer
next time, Miss Selwyn, lest you catch a cold.”
While the young woman was still processing the situation, Jordan bid her adieu,
walking away with his assistant. “I have something else to attend to. See you.”

Victoria parted her lips, wanting to call him back when Jordan returned with his
assistant. “By the way, Miss Selwyn, I forgot to ask for your contact information
earlier.”
After that, Jordan left beaming, satisfied. Meanwhile, his assistant followed behind
him cautiously and asked, “Mr. Floyd, do you not feel cold when you’ve given your
jacket to Miss Selwyn?”
“The cold never bothered me anyway.” Jordan quirked a brow with delight. “The
most important thing now is to win her favor.”
His assistant gazed silently at him in response.
“What’s with that look? Weren’t you the one who suggested that I win her over with
my looks?”
The assistant scratched his head. How has it become my fault now? Besides, I was
only joking!
Victoria only came to her senses after Jordan left, and she quickly removed his
jacket. She tried to catch up to him, but the man was nowhere to be found.
At that, she could only turn back around and hand the jacket to a staff member at
Chapter 201 Retur

the venue entrance. “Hi, could you please help me return this jacket to Mr. Floyd
later?”

The staff member had been eavesdropping on their conversation earlier. There were
rumors about Jordan being flirtatious and having various romantic encounters, but
they didn’t expect him to be so forward as to give his jacket to a beautiful woman he
just met at the venue.
As staff members, they dared not take the jacket from her. After all, it was given to
her by Jordan, which was a signal of his interest in her.
“I’m sorry, miss, but I suggest you return it to Mr. Floyd personally since he was the
one who gave it to you.”
“I don’t know where he’s gone off to, though!” Victoria argued, to which the staff
member countered, “Haven’t you exchanged contact information with Mr. Floyd?”
Victoria fell silent at that. Let me guess–you’ve been standing here watching the
drama unfold, haven’t you?
Seeing that she remained rooted on the spot, the staff member aside explained, “It’s
not that we don’t want to help you, miss, but we’re only staff members of the venue.
We barely have any chance of meeting Mr. Floyd, so it’s improbable that we can

return the jacket on your behalf even if you hand it to us.”
Victoria thought they had a point, so she gave up insisting. “Alright, thank you.”
After taking a glance at the hall and the lobby, she asked, “Can I take a break.
outside?”
“Of course.” The staff members immediately offered their assistance. “Allow me to
escort you.”
To head from here to the other side, an umbrella was needed. The staff member
held an umbrella and escorted her, and after they arrived, Victoria thanked them
with a smile. “Thank you for accompanying me.”
Victoria was beautiful with fair skin. Her waist–length hair was naturally black, giving
her a pure and charming look when it cascaded down on both sides of her
shoulders.
Moreover, anyone standing close to her could smell a faint and pleasant fragrance
from Victoria. It was indiscernible which perfume it was, but it felt pleasant.
The staff member blushed instantly when the beauty thanked him. “No, you’re too
kind. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Sure.” Victoria surveyed the lobby after the staff member left and ultimately went
toward a corner.

After sitting down and texting Ethan, she received a text from Fiona, asking, ‘Has the
auction ended, love? Will you accompany me to the bar tonight?‘
Victoria had intended to decline, but thinking about how Fiona had stayed at home
to watch her babies for her, she softened up. ‘I’ll go to you once it’s over.’
Sometime later, people began dispersing from the venue, and Victoria noticed the
crowd moving toward her. However, because of the downpour outside, many people
gathered in the lobby.
When Victoria got up to search for Ethan at the exit, a familiar figure inadvertently
entered her line of sight.
The man was slender and wore a classic white dress shirt and black suit combo,
complemented by a dignified and classy wristwatch. He moved through the crowd
with a cold and aloof expression, his exposed emotions giving his handsome face a
sharp and intense aura.
