Chapter 334 Too Harsh on Her
Seeing him raise a finger to his lips, Cordelia didn't greet him.
"Mr. Hansen said you were kind, but where's the kindness?" Clare
hadn't noticed Cordelia's expression and sneered, "You're just using
your appearance to deceive men!â
Cordelia smiled, "See, you're quite competent when you're not
pretending. Did calling me useless make you feel better?"
Clare did feel a bit relieved, but her ultimate goal remained unachieved.
"You're a loser, and I won't waste my time on you. After your little
tantrum, just leave. I'll continue to live in my villa, enjoying my wealth
and glory. Whether you live or die, it's none of my concern.â
Cordelia turned to leave, but suddenly, Clare let out a shrill cry from
behind. "Evie, go to hell!"
Cordelia had predicted her attack and quickly dodged. She elbowed
Clare in the back, causing her to fall to the ground.
Clare fell clumsily, her face scraping against the ground, leaving her
terrified.
She couldn't afford to damage her face, not at this point!
But at this moment, she heard Cordelia's voice as if it were coming from
a distant height. "Clare, how much good luck do you think you have to
act so recklessly?"
Just as she was about to retort, she heard a familiar voice. "Cordelia, are
you okay? Did she hurt you?"
Cordelia shook her head. "I knew she'd resort to dirty tricks.â
Otherwise, Laura wouldn't be hiding in the hospital, refusing to see
anyone.
Clare had almost ruined Laura's face. Clare had always been a disguised
snake, with her soft and vulnerable appearance only a deceptive facade.
Seeing that Cordelia was unharmed, Elijah finally relaxed and then
looked down at Clare, who was lying on the ground.
"It's your own fault that you've ended up like this, Price Group. Trying to
use your disciple to manipulate an entire family for your own gain, you
people at Price Group really have big dreams.â
Elijah's tone was cold, and he stood slightly in front of Cordelia, still
guarding against Clare's potential last-ditch struggle to prevent
Cordelia from getting hurt.
Although Clare could only see their feet, she realized she had lost her
best opportunity to attack Cordelia.
"Elijah, if I plead for Ms. Clare Price, will you spare her?" Cordelia
suddenly asked.
"If you intercede, I will naturally be lenient with her. But will you?" Elijah
looked at Cordelia, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"If she's truly a victim in all of this, just like you, I will intercede for her."
Cordelia said, her gaze turning colder, "But given Ms. Clare Price's
previous actions, I'm extremely uncomfortable with it. So, let's forget
about interceding.â
Elijah nodded in approval. "I knew you would always see things clearly.â
There was a hidden meaning in his words.
On one hand, he was praising Cordelia's ability to differentiate between
right and wrong. On the other, he was defending himself. Fortunately,
Cordelia didn't misinterpret him too deeply.
Cordelia glanced at him, huffed, and said with a hint of arrogance, "But,
if Ms. Clare Price really wants to marry into a wealthy family, don't
forget to play matchmaker if you have a suitable candidate.â
Listening to their natural conversation, Clare lay on the ground and
pressed her lips to remain silent.
When Clare heard that Cordelia wanted Elijah to introduce her to
suitable candidates, she was still baffled by Cordelia's unexpected offer
to help her.
How could Cordelia be so kind? She refused to plead for the Price
Group but was willing to help her.
It wasn't until she actually succeeded in marrying into a wealthy family
that she understood the true meaning of Cordelia's favor.
She had been living a life worse than death every day.
Elijah had been exceptionally harsh on her!
