Chapter204 He'll Be Tired of Me

Imogen perked up immediately upon hearing this.

"Cordelia, no matter what, there's still hope for Elijah! He's not a

scumbag like Ben," she said.

Cordelia looked at Imogen and asked cautiously, “Imogen, what's your

plan?”

Imogen replied, "What can I do? I'll just go with the flow. I hope that

eventually, when he gets tired of me, we can also part ways amicably.

Just like you and Elijah did.”

Cordelia observed the hint of sadness in Imogen's eyes and patted her

hand to comfort her.

It was clear that Imogen still had feelings for Ben, but the uncertainties

of reality had made her hesitant to invest in the relationship any further.

As people grew older, their solitude also grew stronger.

Cordelia had learned to accept and even enjoy her solitude.

Over dinner, when Cordelia was settling the bill, she unexpectedly ran

into Elissa.

Elissa had become a somewhat faded actress. And now, she seemed

even more pretentious and arrogant than before.

Cordelia couldn't be bothered to pay her much attention and put on

her sunglasses.

However, Elissa approached her, making the first move. “I heard you

got divorced. Congratulations.”

Cordelia didn't bother to glance at her and smiled. "Miss Flores, you

really have a way with words. I really liked it when you congratulated

me."

Elissa's eyes widened. She felt that Cordelia was rather pleased about

her divorce. But again, she might be pretending.

Elissa sneered, "You're just trying to save your dignity.”

Cordelia remained smiling. "Aren't we all? Otherwise, why bother

cosplaying for producers?”

"You!" Elisa's lips twitched, and her gaze turned malevolent. "Is it that

bitch Imogen who told you?"

"It seems like it was Ben who informed her.” Cordelia refused to provide

Elissa with any information she could exploit.

At the mention of Ben's name, Elissa's expression contorted with anger.

"Why are you all just standing there? Go beat her up!" Elissa was

getting increasingly excited.

The last time, she hadn't been able to get her hands on Cordelia. This

time, she was determined to make her pay!

Cordelia glanced at the two bodyguards standing behind Elissa and

immediately went on high alert, calculating the risks of getting into a

fight.

She knew she should shy away from a fight when necessary.

However, in the next moment, one of the bodyguards spoke, "Miss

Flores, this is not within our job description.”

Elissa was taken aback, but Cordelia couldn't help but chuckle, "Elissa,

you sure know how to keep things interesting.”

With that, Cordelia gracefully turned and left the scene.

"Hey! You!"

Just then, Elissa caught a glimpse of the people around recording her

with their phones. To save her public image, she immediately fell silent

and didn't dare to make a fuss again.

Cordelia exited the restaurant and found Imogen by the roadside, who

was engrossed in a phone call while talking in a sweet voice.

"Sure! I've been a good girl. Just a little later, okay? Alright, Cordelia's

coming out now. I'll talk to you later. Bye!"

Cordelia teased Imogen, "If someone didn't know better, they'd think

you two were deeply in love."

Imogen rolled her eyes and humphed, "I've already figured out this

guy's preferences. It's easy to appease him, but sometimes, I just don't

want to. Why should I always have to cater to him?"

Cordelia inquired, "So what's the occasion today? Why are you willing

to indulge him?"

Imogen said seriously, "Ben is getting engaged. He's flying overseas

next week to personally bring his almost-fiancée back.”
