Chapter 66 The Destiny

Lamia, now seeing Cordelia up close through the veil, was wide-eyed

and filled with disbelief.

“You! What's your relationship with Jacob?”

Cordelia looked at Lamia with an icy gaze, feeling her heart grow cold.

It was all over. Since Lamia had found out the performer was Cordelia, it

meant the Hansen family would soon find out as well.

At this moment, Jacob approached and dragged Lamia. “Lamia,

Cordelia is the musician I invited to perform for Grandma's birthday.

Don't jump to conclusions.”

Cordelia glanced at him, her tone ice-cold. “Well, I didn't expect such a

mess, Mr. Taylor. This is absolutely the last time I'll help you.”

“I'm truly sorry, Cordelia. I'll handle this matter properly,” Jacob said

apologetically.

Just then, Mireya, leaning on a cane, walked over, her smile warm and

friendly as she shook Cordelia’s hand.

“Dear, you made some modifications to the score you played just now,

didn’t you? I didn't expect Maura's granddaughter to

surpass her in musical talent.”

Cordelia smiled, answering graciously, “I did make a few

adjustments, but they were minor details. You have an amazing hearing

to have noticed the difference.”

“Haha...” Mireya laughed heartily, her spirits lifting.

Seeing the birthday celebrant so happy, the entire Taylor family was in

high spirits.

They were all respectful and appreciative of Cordelia upon realizing her

importance, knowing that Jacob hadn't invited her over for no reason.

Lamia, on the other hand, stared in astonishment at how Mireya was

pleased with Cordelia, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart.

If only she could be so beloved by Mireya. If that were the case,

marrying into the Taylor family would be a piece of cake!

Soon, Mireya took Cordelia to a lounge, where she showed her some

old photos.

Seeing her grandmother, Cordelia smiled with tears in her eyes.

Her grandmother was indeed beautiful.

Mireya, with a hint of regret in her aging eyes, remarked, “Maura had a

difficult life. She gave up a promising career for her husband and

children... By the way, dear, you must have

married into the Hansen family by now, right?”

Cordelia was taken aback. “You know about the engagement between

our families?”

Mireya smiled. “Of course, I was present when they verbally agreed to

it”

“Really?” Cordelia was curious. “How did my grandmother and Elijah’s

grandmother suddenly decide on the engagement?”

Cordelia had always been puzzled by this doubt. After all, according to

her memory, her grandmother lived in the countryside, and she rarely

met her old friends from Beilve City.

Mireya's mood suddenly improved, and she began reminiscing about

those pleasant memories.

“Back then, you, Jacob, and Elijah were all so young. Especially you. You

had just learned to walk. Back then, you were such an adorable little

thing, and both boys liked you.”

Cordelia blinked, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She hadn't realized

she had met Elijah and Jacob when she was so young.

“Later, when your grandmother was about to take you away, Elijah

clung to you, refusing to let go. He held onto you tightly and wouldn't

allow your grandmother to take you away.

"Seeing this, Elijah’s grandmother thought that the two of you were

fated. So, she immediately proposed the engagement to your

grandmother.

“She was also a woman with a difficult life. She passed away

early, but on her deathbed, she entrusted Elijah’s grandfather to ensure

that Elijah fulfilled the engagement.”

So that was how it happened.

Cordelia’s eyes turned red, but a smile remained on her lips.

It turned out that the fate between her and Elijah had been destined

when they were both so young.
