Chapter 333 In My Eyes
Cordelia saved a video released by the Hansen Group on her phone.
She watched it repeatedly, pondering Elijah's 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."
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?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
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 Elijah's fiancée and wanted me to
understand and bless you. Wasn't that asking for too much?"
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?"
Cordelia's 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.
