Chapter 187 He's Getting Engaged
No wonder Ben sent him the screenshot and then separately sent this photo.
Elijah's eyes gradually dimmed, losing their sparkle.
Elijah couldn't help but think that they had ultimately come together.
The more Elijah thought about it, the more he couldn't control himself.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
Gideon's stern voice came from the end of the line. "Elijah, why did you refuse Daisy's invitation to
have dinner together? Weren't you always good friends before?"
"I'm busy," Elijah replied coldly.
"Don't you even have time for a meal? Do you think I'm confused? Don't forget, you're single now, you
don't need to worry about so much! I'll make the reservation at the restaurant, and you can treat Daisy.
Put it on my tab!"
With that, Gideon hung up the phone without giving Elijah a chance to refuse.
Elijah's face grew solemn as he looked out of the window, his gaze becoming increasingly dim.
After spending the whole day outside, Cordelia's mood improved significantly.
Eason dropped Cordelia off at her place and was about to leave.
Cordelia glanced at the time and said, "Eason, it's getting late. Stay and have a meal before you go.
The food here is delicious."
Cordelia suggested it herself, and naturally, Eason wouldn't refuse.
Just as they sat down, Cordelia received a call from Imogen.
Imogen's voice was small, saying she was hiding in the bathroom to call Cordelia.
"What happened?" Cordelia asked anxiously.
Cordelia was worried about Imogen since she was currently out of town and unable to help her in time.
Imogen sighed, "Ah, what could happen to me? I'm just worried about you. After all, the Hansen family
and the Kingsley family forming an alliance, it's really too quick after your divorce."
"Alliance?" Cordelia furrowed her brow.
Upon hearing her words, Eason also looked at her.
"It's been spreading all over Beilve City that the Hansen family and the Kingsley family are going to
form an alliance. Their engagement ceremony will be held soon. And tonight, Elijah and Daisy are
having a date at a restaurant, which practically confirms these rumors."
Cordelia felt as though Imogen's voice was becoming quieter and quieter. In the end, she could barely NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
hear what she was saying.
But in reality, Imogen's volume hadn't changed. It was buzzing in Cordelia's ears, almost blocking out
all sounds.
Cordelia took a deep breath and calmly said, "Gideon mentioned this to me before. I just didn't expect
that, as a second marriage, he would still go through with an engagement. Well, that's fine."
Imogen laughed on the other end. "Elijah is indeed quite popular. Unlike Ben, it's been so long since we
broke off our engagement, but he still doesn't have anyone and keeps eyes on me every day."
At that moment, there was a knocking sound on the phone, and Imogen hurriedly said, "Cordelia, I'll
talk to you later. I have to hang up now!"
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Cordelia became somewhat absent-minded.
Eason, who had been silent, suddenly put down his phone and spoke, "Cordelia. The truck driver is
willing to testify. I've sent Adam to take care of it."
Cordelia immediately sat up straight, looking at Eason seriously. "Who instructed him?"
"His testimony points to Eva, but it wasn't her who did that, but it was one of her friends named Hazel,"
Eason said.
Cordelia remembered this person. She had encountered Hazel at a restaurant before.
She didn't expect that Eva would have such a loyal friend to her.
A sarcastic smile curled at the corner of Cordelia's lips. "Whether it's her or her friend, it doesn't matter.
No one involved in this matter can escape!"
