Chapter 36 Cordelia’s Secrets

Mae's proud voice came from the phone. As usual, she thought she

deserved it.

“Oh, I miss you, so I come to see you,” Mae said coquettishly.

Cordelia refused, “Go back to the company to work.”

Realizing that Cordelia was about to hang up, Mae hurriedly said,

“Cordelia, I brought Mom along. Mom said she wanted to apologize to

you.”

Apologized?

Cordelia’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She wanted to see how Janice, who was always arrogant, condescended

to apologize to the daughter she despised

Ten minutes later, Janice and Mae came in.

However, Cordelia didn't let them into the house but received them in

the yard.

“Cordelia, Elijah helped solve the problem of Kevin's company. I... I am

here to apologize to you.”

Janice knew when to eat humble pie and when to hold her head high.

She bowed to Cordelia and apologized nicely.

Mae helped to smooth things over. “Cordelia, Mom knows she's wrong.

Please forgive her, okay?

Please!”

Cordelia watched Janice and Mae acting coldly. When they finished

speaking, she said, “Apology accepted, but Mrs. Janice Deleon, what I

told you that day still counts.”

Janice understood what Cordelia was talking about, so she smiled and

said, “Cordelia, I know you're angry. Give me a chance, okay?”

"Since you've got what you want, cherish it! From the moment you

offended me on the street, our relationship ended!”

After all, apart from giving birth to her after ten months of pregnancy,

Janice didn’t fulfill any responsibility to Cordelia.

Janice became a little anxious. “You damn girl, you become arrogant

because you have someone to support you, right? You know what?

Without the support of our family, you will be kicked out by the Hansen

family sooner or later!”

Mae chimed in, “Right. Cordelia, apart from being Mrs. Hansen, what

else do you have? Don't be ignorant. Only we are your family forever!”

Family?

Cordelia was amused by Mae's words.

She had worked hard to turn them into her family, but they treated her

as a family member only when they needed her. When did they really

treat her as a family member?

“Don't worry. Even if I am kicked out by the Hansen family, I will still be

a rich divorced woman. Mind your own business and leave me alone.

Bye. I won't see you off,” Cordelia said coldly.

Janice's eyes widened. “You are ungrateful and cruel. What good will it

do you to break off with us? Are you not afraid that I will tell everyone

what you did?”

Cordelia frowned. “What did I do?”

Janice stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Cordelia’s wrist. “It

seems that your grandma didn't tell you something. When you were 14

years old, you slept with a man...”

Suddenly, Mae stepped forward and covered Janice’'s mouth. “Mom,

stop that.”

“It seems that you know a lot of Cordelia's secrets. Why don't you tell

me about them?”

Elijah slowly walked in from the door. His eyes were cold and stern, and

he was not as gentle and nice as he used to be.

He looked at Janice and Mae with his sharp eyes as he raised his voice.

“Tell me.”
