Chapter 437 Get a Grip

"Regardless of Ben's illness, I still sincerely thank you for him, Miss

Carter." After speaking, Elijah pressed his chest with one hand and gave

a gentleman's nod.

Only then did Cordelia smile and say, "You're welcome. After all, I'm still

at the primary stage in the field of psychiatry, so I can't help you much.”

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

When Elijah came to the door, he saw the person standing outside the

door through the videophone, and he pinched his brows with a

headache.

"Why are you here?" Elijah asked seriously when he opened the door.

"Hi, Elijah, I brought some fresh ingredients. Let's cook dinner together

tonight!" The girl's sweet voice came from the door.

At the same time, Cordelia noticed that Elijah had a guest at his door,

so she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

Elijah ignored Kelly, who was standing at the door and looked at

Cordelia, who came out.

"You're leaving?"

"Well, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you,” Cordelia said

while changing her shoes.

Cordelia was already tall, to begin with, but when she put on high heels,

it made Kelly look like a dwarf in comparison.

Elijah quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Stay for dinner.”

His eyes were sincere, and there was a little reluctance in his tone.

Cordelia shook her head and firmly rejected him.

At this moment, Kelly suddenly stepped forward and hugged Elijah's

arm. "Elijah, since this lady doesn't want to stay for dinner, why do you

have to force her against her wishes?"

Cordelia squinted, knowing that Kelly was doing that on purpose.

This girl's scheming personality was written all over her face, and since

Elijah could tolerate her, it proved that she had something to rely on

As he spoke, Elijah shoved Kelly away unceremoniously. "Kelly, you

should respect her. Also, don't touch me in the future, and next time,

even if Ben is here, he won't be able to protect you.”

A little dizzy after being pushed away by Elijah, Kelly's expression

suddenly became aggrieved

Cordelia raised her eyebrows and asked, "So you're Ben's cousin, the

starlet?”

"What starlet? I'm a superstar,” Kelly said, feeling unconvinced.

Cordelia chuckled and said, "Okay, superstar. A superstar who has never

been cast as the female lead.”

After speaking, Cordelia turned around to leave as she could not be

bothered to spout nonsense with her.

There was a very low threshold in the current entertainment industry.

Anybody could appear in film and television dramas as long as they

had the capital to be groomed.

Kelly became a B-lister by relying on Ben.

However, seeing how naive Kelly was, Cordelia thought that she must

have used all her luck to become a B-lister.

"Hey, who said I can't become the female lead? I'm going to be the

female lead soon!" Kelly yelled at Cordelia's back as she chased her to

the door, completely unconvinced.

Cordelia got into the car and drove away without even looking at her

again.

Kelly felt the bag of food ingredients being thrown at her from behind,

after which the door was closed with a loud bang.

"Hey, Elijah, open the door! What do you mean by this?" Kelly

exclaimed anxiously while slamming the door panel.

However, no one paid attention to her anymore...

Cordelia visited Milo and had dinner with him before returning to the

Maple Villa, where she collapsed on the sofa.

She didn't feel tired until this moment.

After replying to Imogen, she made a video call soon after.

Imogen said in high spirits, "Cordelia, why did you suddenly return to

Beilve City? Could it be that Ben is terminally ill?"

Cordelia looked at the screen with a smile and said, "If you want to ask

about him, just say so. Why are you beating around the bush?"

"I want to know what that jerk is doing,” Imogen said with a nonchalant

expression.

Hence, Cordelia perked up as she sat up and said solemnly, "Imogen,

I'm going to tell you something now. You must get a grip on yourself!

Ben... His problem is very serious.”

Imogen's expression froze, and her body stiffened immediately.
