Chapter 333 In My Eyes
Cordelia saved a video released by the Hansen Group on her phone.
She watched it repeatedly, pondering Elijahâs intentions in taking this
move.
She had to admit that he was indeed an excellent businessman, skilled
in creating a buzz.
Because of this press conference, the stock price of the Hansen Group
skyrocketed instantly.
His successful and dedicated CEO image attracted the attention of a
large number of shareholders.
"Life is like a drama. It all depends on acting.â
She murmured softly while her fingers clicked on the video to replay it.
An unexpected guest arrived at the villa halfway up the mountain in the
evening.
The person looked weary, with swollen eyes, loosely tied hair, and an
overall lifeless demeanor.
"Ms. Clare Price, you are disturbing me," Cordelia said
unceremoniously.
"Evie, I'm really at the end of my rope. Please, can you show me a way
out? I'm willing to do anything as long as Mr. Hansen is willing to spare
me," Clare said, tears streaming down her face.
"You're quite resourceful. Do you think if I plead for you, Elijah will go
easy on you?" Cordelia looked at her with cold eyes. "But I don't need
to beg for you, and I won't."
"Evie..."
Clare's vulnerable appearance was somewhat pitiable, which was why
Elijah had shown leniency to her in the first place.
If it weren't for Clare's past actions that Cordelia found distasteful, she
might have actually helped Clare.
"Ms. Clare Price, where did you make your biggest mistake?" Cordelia
suddenly asked.
"What?" Clare looked puzzled.
"Your stupid kindness led you astray," Cordelia said firmly.
Clare said, "So, should I not be kind? Should I be ruthless?"
Cordelia smiled and shook her head. "Kindness is not wrong, but you
can't both act like a saint and behave otherwise. That's where you went
terribly wrong."
"I didn't!" Clare immediately retorted.
Cordelia completely ignored her and continued, "You wanted to be
Elijahâs fiancée and wanted me to understand and bless you. Wasn't
that asking for too much?â
Moreover, Cordelia hadn't done anything wrong. It had been Clare and
her sister Laura who had plotted everything.
It was time to settle the score, but Clare seemed to be backing down
and getting scared.
"Ms. Clare Price, if I were you, I would pack my bags and leave
immediately. You studied medicine to save lives, not to chase after a
rich husband, right?"
Cordeliaâs words hit Clare hard.
She had never imagined marrying into a wealthy family before.
But because of Elijah, she had started to dream.
She was tired of an ordinary life and wanted to enter high society, to
enjoy being admired and envied by others.
Unfortunately, it had all been a pipe dream.
Now that the dream had shattered, did she have to leave town and
continue living a difficult life?
She refused to accept it!
"Evie, it turns out you only know how to speak coldly. You live in a
mansion, enjoying wealth and glory. Of course, you can look down on
others. But I see you're nothing special!"
Cordelia shrugged off Clare's desperate attempts, knowing it was futile.
At this moment, Cordelia saw Elijah walk in.
