Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 219

Everard was just polishing off his last bite of pizza when he suddenly mentioned, "Oh, my phone's dead."

After finishing his meal, he slowly raised his head and continued in a calm voice, showing her his phone that he had switched off upon entering the school to avoid any disturbances back in Ontoky City.

Cordelia didn't question him; she just frowned slightly and nodded, "Alright then."

She decided she would just get her phone back from Waldron later.

The rules at Autumn Gold Academic Bootcamp did state no phones during classes, but surely a quick call home after school was allowed, right?

Everard wasn't in a hurry. Some matters, he preferred to handle personally once he got back in the evening.

Was there really a need to involve Mathster in this?

After dinner, they headed back to the classroom for evening study.

Cordelia went to the teacher's office, finding only Waldron there. Upon seeing her, he sighed in relief, "Cordelia, are you here to apologize to Lucille? He's already left..."

Before he could finish, Cordelia shook her head, "No, I'm here for my phone."

Waldron was momentarily speechless, "What?"

After Cordelia explained the situation, Waldron was at a loss for words, "You mean, Lucille confiscated your phone during lunch?"

Cordelia nodded.

Waldron felt this was absurd.

Although the school rules stated no phones, they couldn't possibly cut off communication with students' families, especially not at Autumn Gold Academic Bootcamp, which was far from just any summer camp.

This rule was nearly obsolete; it was the digital age, after all. How could phones be banned entirely?

He stood up, "Let me find it for you."

Heading to Lucille's desk, he intended to open the drawer but found it locked.

Waldron took a deep breath, grabbed a hammer nearby, and smashed the lock before handing Cordelia her phone, "You should call your family."

He couldn't stand Lucille's behavior.

But as an adult with a family to support, he couldn't jeopardize his career by confronting Lucille directly. All he could do was speak up for Cordelia and retrieve her phone.
