Chapter 220 Kick Down the Ladder
Gideon snorted coldly, “You brat, I never saw you care about Cordelia during your marriage. You were always out, leading a life of debauchery with numerous affairs.”
Gideon’s words clearly had a deeper meaning, and they were for
Cordelia.
Since Gideon had just taken the medicine she gave him, he couldn’t openly confront her anymore, so he resorted to veiled remarks.
That old man was really cunning.
Cordelia remained calm and steady.
But then, Gideon suddenly changed the subject and said. meaningfully, “Cordelia, do you still trust Elijah? Let me remind you, now nob*dy will stand up for you anymore!”
Elijah’s gaze turned cold.
Gideon’s words struck directly at Cordelia’s heart!
Cordelia, who had always remained calm even in the face of great adversity, couldn’t hide the deep sadness on her face.
Those who didn’t know Cordelia thought she was a pitiable person abandoned by her family.
Only Elijah knew best that Cordelia’s sadness stemmed from missing her grandmother.
Suddenly, Cordelia put on a smiling face, radiant with joy.
“Sir Hansen, you’re taking advantage of being an elder to bully
“I would suggest you leave yourself a way out. Don’t push me too hard. Tread on a worm, and it will turn. Besides, how can you be sure you won’t need my help in the future?”
Gideon hadn’t expected Cordelia to have such confidence in front of him. It was completely different from when she was a daughter-in-law in the Hansen family.
Gideon simply felt that she was pretending to be confident.
“I will need your help?! Haha… That’s nonsense. Stop dreaming. I will never ask for your help in my lifetime.”
Edith said softly to Gabe, “Gideon just took medication from Cordelia. How could he change his attitude so quickly.”
“You should keep silent,” Gabe said helplessly.
At this moment, Elijah suddenly said, “Grandpa, I don’t consider kicking down the ladder an admirable quality. I feel ashamed for you.”
Gideon shouted, “Elijah!”
Elijah’s words infuriated Gideon, and his old face turned red.
“You better go to the hospital!” Gabe was genuinely afraid that Gideon would be angered to death by these two.
While they said that, Edith and Gabe, one on each side, were about to support Gideon and leave.
“Hold on,” Cordelia suddenly said. “Miss Kingsley, wait for a moment. I have something to tell you.”
Daisy turned around in astonishment and saw Cordelia’s smile. that didn’t reach her eyes. For some reason, an inexplicable fear rose in her heart.
“I have nothing to say to you.”
Cordelia lightly laughed. “Oh really? I thought you would care about your grandfather’s life expectancy. Since that’s the case, forget it then.”
Everyone was stunned.
This time, not only did Daisy stop in her tracks, but even Gideon also halted. Everyone looked at Cordelia together.
Cordelia calmly opened her mouth and said gently, “When Mr. Walls was 70 years old, he had a major illness and almost didn’t make it. It was Mr. Carter who saved him.
“For all these years, Mr. Watts relied on Mr. Carter to maintain
his health, commonly known as extending his life. But this time you messed it up with your own hands.”
Daisy became increasingly frightened as she listened, and her b*dy uncontrollably trembled.
She kept calm and said, “Stop babbling nonsense.”
Cordelia lightly laughed. “Whether I’m babbling or not, you’ll find out within a month. Well then, Miss Kingsley, you can leave now. Goodbye.”
Gabe, who had always been interested in alternative medicine, couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Cordelia, what will happen to Mr. Watts in a month?”
