Chapter 203 No Mercy
Edith had no solution for this situation either.
She was Elijah’s mother and knew him better than anyone, yet she had never seen him act so madly for a woman before.
But then again, apart from Cordelia’s infertility, she had no other drawbacks.
It was all Gideon’s fault that they got divorced.
Now, he even wanted Elijah to date another woman. Was Gideon so desperate to see Elijah having a kid?
However, Edith dared not voice her anger and could only sigh secretly, “Cordelia is truly unfortunate! This pair of lovebirds is going through so much trouble!”
Cordelia learned the next morning that Elijah had returned to Beilve City overnight.
As soon as she turned on the phone, and she received a message from Elijah. She learned that he had arrived in Beilve City at 4
a.m.
[I will be back!]
Seeing this quirky message, Cordelia couldn’t help but smile.
It seemed that Elijah wouldn’t stop pestering her for a long time.
On the same day, Cordelia received a call from Milo, who hoped she could return to Beilve City temporarily because he might need to put her on some tasks recently.
Milo didn’t make it quite clear, so Cordelia took her time to wrap up her work in the small town and then slowly made her way back.
Upon learning that Cordelia had returned to Beilve City, Imogen was especially excited.
“Cordelia, I’m also in Beilve City. How about we go out together tonight?”
Cordelia raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on with you? Why did you suddenly come back from Tarssa City?”
Imogen immediately became angry and said with a huff, “It’s all because of that scoundrel Ben. He’s either accusing me of cheating on him or claiming I’m pregnant with his child. Damn
it!”
Cordelia took a deep breath and tried to calm her friend. “Imogen, we’re ladies. Let’s maintain our composure.”
Imogen smiled again after hearing Cordelia’s reminder. “Now that you’re back, I thought we could go out together. Ben won’t dare to meddle with me when you’re around.”
“Why’s that?” Cordelia raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
It couldn’t be that Ben had a favorable impression of her and thought she was reliable.
Impossible!
As expected, Imogen laughed and teased, “Ile said Elijah is keeping a close eye on you. Don’t you know that?”
Cordelia was speechless.
She knew how these men loved to gossip, and their words were far from reliable.
But on the phone, she didn’t engage in further conversation about it with Imogen.
That evening, Cordelia and Imogen had dinner together.
They hadn’t reserved a private room, so they sat in the restaurant’s lobby.
“Cordelia, has Eva’s friend’s trial concluded?” Imogen asked with concern.
Cordelia nodded. “Yes, both she and the driver were sentenced to life in prison.”
“Good! They got what they deserved!” Imogen clapped her hands in approval.
Cordelia sighed and wore a bitter smile. “Although they didn’t kill me, they made me lose my child and my ability to conceive. It’s not much different from killing me.”
Imogen took Cordelia’s hand, tears welling up in her eyes. “It’s all in the past, Cordelia.”
Cordelia smiled through her tears. “Yes, it’s all in the past. I’m doing well now.”
Imogen frowned. “The only regret is that Eva is still at large.”
“Right now, she’s living a more miserable life than if she were behind bars,” Cordelia replied.
Adam often updated Cordelia on Eva’s current situation.
Ironically, Cordelia hadn’t done anything yet, but Eva was already on the verge of breaking down.
This time, Elijah had shown her no mercy whatsoever.
