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, "He 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.
