The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 312

Edwin was still in a state of shock even as they hit the freeway. "What happened? What did you hear?"

"Cordelia was right..." Edwin then recounted everything he'd heard at Ronald's place to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn turned pale as well. She felt the same as Edwin. Samantha was a terrifying woman.

"We can't tell Cordelia about this!" Edwin said. "She's pregnant, and she can't handle such news. If she

found out that her grandmother was killed on purpose by Samantha, Cordelia would definitely get

upset."

"But isn't finding out the truth why Cordelia sent us there?" Brooklyn asked.

"Yes, but we can't tell her." Edwin seemed very anxious. "Since she had suspicions before, she'll

definitely be wary of Samantha. We should just let it be."

Brooklyn thought for a moment and agreed. “So, we're going to keep this a secret between us?"

Brooklyn asked Edwin.

"Yes."

"So we have a secret together?"

"Sure do." Edwin smiled at Brooklyn.

Brooklyn smiled back.

"But you need to remind Cordelia to be careful around her cousin. She's too sly." Edwin felt a chill run

down his spine just thinking about Samantha.

When Edwin and Brooklyn returned to the office, it was 4 p.m. Brooklyn went straight to her dorm room.

She sent a message to Cordelia. [Cordelia, Edwin, and I are back. We didn't find out much, but you

need to be careful around Samantha. Be very careful!]

Cordelia read the message and replied. [If you didn't find out anything, why should I be careful?]

Brooklyn thought. Oh no, Cordelia's suspicion was aroused.

[Just be careful, that's all.]

Even if Brooklyn didn't say anything, Cordelia knew she had to be cautious around Samantha. But now

that Brooklyn had mentioned it, Cordelia was sure they had discovered something during their trip to

Roseville.

After work, Cordelia got a ride home with Ronan.

During dinner, Cordelia's phone buzzed. She picked it up and saw it was an entertainment news alert.

Cordelia usually didn't care much for celebrity gossip, but she had a gut feeling this was related to her, This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

so she opened the message. It was filled with negative news about Deanna, all from an "insider."

Cordelia suspected that this insider was Samantha, who used to be Deanna's assistant.

"What are you looking at?" Ronan was eating, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, showing his

muscular forearms. It was incredibly sexy.

"Your dream girl has fallen from grace," Cordelia said, sliding her phone over to him.

Ronan read the news and pushed the phone back to Cordelia without a word. As Cordelia picked up

her phone again, she saw a new message. ['Elegant Home' has suspended its business cooperation

with Deanna.]

The character of an artist was a big deal. At times like these, businesses were often cold and ruthless.

"Your dream girl just lost an endorsement," Cordelia said.

"First, change my contact name in your messenger," Ronan said calmly.

"To what?"

"Husband."

"We've been divorced for a while," Cordelia reminded him. "Whether we remarry or not is still up in the

air."

"No remarriage? That's fine," Ronan said calmly. "Just wait and see."

Those words sent chills down Cordelia's spine. She knew that he was capable of anything.
