Chapter 327 Give Me Another Half Year

Of course, he meant to talk about work.

Cordelia wanted to refuse. But suddenly, she saw Clare dragging her

suitcase and running over.

"Elijah, you're here! It's great!" Clare said, looking back in a certain

direction with a hint of provocation in her eyes, "Laura said you would

not come, saying that Evie seduced you!"

Cordelia was not surprised at all that Clare was so good at complaining.

It was in line with her character.

However, when she heard the last half of the sentence, she decided to

say something.

"Ms. Clare Price, you said bad things about Laura behind her back and

commented in front of me that I have seduced a man. Are you polite?”

Clare immediately blushed. Cordelia was not sure whether she was

angry or ashamed.

Cordelia thought it was the former. If Clare had a sense of shame, she

wouldn't always come to Elijah and take advantage to talk to him.

Elijah saw Cordelia's displeased expression. He immediately ordered

Clare coldly, "Apologize to her."

Clare's eyes glistened with tears instantly, and she said tearfully, “Evie,

I'm sorry."

Her attitude looked very aggrieved.

Cordelia suddenly remembered what Imogen had told her.

"Don't be too forceful when dealing with a scheming bitch. The more

forceful you are, the more she will pretend to be pitiful.”

Unexpectedly, Imogen's joke turned out to be the truth.

Cordelia suddenly covered her chest and bowed slightly.

Elijah's expression changed. He embraced her reflexively and asked in

concern, "Cordelia, are you alright?"

"I'm feeling chest pain. Could you take me back to the car? I have to go

back to rest."

"I'll take you to the hospital!” Elijah said worriedly.

Cordelia leaned toward Elijah and whispered in his ear.

Elijah's eyes darkened. Then, he nodded and said, "Okay, go home and

rest well.”

At this time, Clare bit her lip and stepped forward anxiously. "Evie, are

you okay? Do you need me to give you a check?"

But Elijah stood in front of her and blocked her way. "You'd better go.”

Clare frowned. "Heart disease is not a minor illness. Mr. Hansen, why

aren't you worried about Evie?"

Cordelia’s faint voice came out from the car window. “I have an old

complaint with my heart. My heart aches whenever I hear your voice."

Clare was stunned. She quickly explained, "You misunderstood me. I

have nothing to do with Mr. Hansen. We will call off our engagement in

a few days. Evie, you have to believe Mr. Hansen.”

"I believe him! I believe him very much.” Cordelia smiled and looked at

the two people outside the car window. "I just simply hate you."

Cordelia didn't give her the time to argue. She continued, "Ms. Clare

Price, I won't be polite to you if you come to me and provoke me again.

By the way, tell Laura about this.”

After she said this, the car started and drove away.

Clare wanted to explain, but Elijah’s cold voice sounded above her

head. "Cheap tricks."

She burst into tears. "Mr. Hansen, why don't you believe me?"

"What do you think you are? You don't know it, but everyone else

knows it well." Elijah looked at her mockingly as if looking at a pile of

garbage.

"How can I explain it to convince you? I don't want to compete with

Evie, and I never thought about being able to replace her." Clare cried

pitifully. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Elijah glanced at Clare as if she was a fool. He always felt that there was

something wrong with her brain.

Could a normal people say that? A guilty person gave herself away by

conspicuously protesting her innocence.

"In that case, we must break off the engagement as soon as possible.

According to the previous agreement, you need to announce this

matter," Elijah said lightly.

"No!" Clare immediately refused. "Mr. Hansen, it's not time yet."

Elijah raised his eyebrows. "Are you going to break the contract?”

Clare bit her lip. "Mr. Hansen, I'm serious. Now is just not the time. You

can't abandon me after you get what you want!"

"Then, when do you want to announce it?" Elijah asked patiently.

Clare suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Mr. Hansen, can you give

me another half year? Please!"
