To Cordelia's absolute surprise, Imogen quickly returned the call.
"Cordelia, why don't you ask Elijah directly if you're concerned about him? You should let him know that
you care about him," Imogen said seriously.
Cordelia sighed and said, "Of course I have my reasons. Elijah just experienced the divorce of his
parents. His father passed away, and his father suddenly has an additional son. This series of events
had a great impact on him. I don't want to add salt to his injury."
She was afraid that her self-righteous concern would only bring greater pain to him.
Imogen was silent for a moment, then said, "Then I'll turn on the speakerphone, and I'll help you bring
Ben over for a chat."
Before Cordelia could say anything, she had already heard Imogen's coquettish voice toward Ben.
"Daddy, there is something Cordelia wants to hear your opinion on. Can you have a proper chat with
her? Mwah! I'll give you a big kiss!"
Cordelia was absolutely speechless.
When it came to acting coquettishly, it seemed that she still had a lot to learn from Imogen.
Sure enough, Ben quickly agreed.
Cordelia cleared his throat and said, "I just heard from Elijah that Mrs. Mia Holland moved into the
Hansen Manor."
Ben said indifferently, "The current situation of the Hanson family is like this. Sir Hansen plans to give
up Elijah and train another heir. But Eason was not interested in this at first, so Sir Hansen started with
his mother, and the two hit it off."
Cordelia frowned. "But Elijah's father has passed away, yet she moved into the Hansen Manor at this
time. This is not in line with ethics."
Ben snorted coldly, "A woman who wants to rise to power through scheming, do you think she cares
about ethics?"
Cordelia was at a loss for words.
Imogen spoke at this time. "Does she... Does she want to be a legitimate member of the Hansen
family? But Elijah's father has passed away!"
Ben smiled lightly. "Isn't there still Sir Hansen?"
"No way..."
Now, Cordelia and Imogen said in unison.
"These two people have so many tricks up their sleeves than you can imagine." Ben sneered coldly.
It took Cordelia a long time to be able to speak again.
"Thank you for your clarification."
Ben hummed. Imogen quickly turned off the speakerphone, held the phone, and said to Cordelia, "I This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
didn't expect this matter to be so complicated. Cordelia, I advise you to think carefully before entering
the game."
Recalling Elijah's instructions, Cordelia sighed, "Elijah probably doesn't want me to get involved."
"If it were me, I wouldn't want my lover to be involved in such a whirlpool with me, too." Imogen agreed.
Cordelia could understand Elijah's love and care for her, but she always had a hunch that this time, she
might not be able to stay out of it.
That night, Cordelia suffered from insomnia.
At three o'clock in the morning, she received a message from Elijah.
[Cordie, I miss you.]
Cordelia already could not sleep in the first place, and now she was completely awake.
After thinking again and again, Cordelia sent a message back to Elijah.
[I'll be back early tomorrow morning.]
At noon the next day, as soon as the plane landed, Cordelia received a call from Adam.
Adam's gentle voice came from the speaker with a little excitement. "Cordelia, I came back to Grant
City with Eason. Which hotel are you staying in? We will pick you up!"
Cordelia was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Adam. I went back to Beilve
City."
"Huh?"
