Love or Die: CEO’ s Daily Dose of Swoon (Cordelia) novel Chapter 262

At Greenmeadow International School, whispers and rumors spread rapidly, but outside Mrs. Collins' elegant home, most of the visiting ladies were still uncertain about the truth of the gossip.

Upon hearing the rumors, Mrs. Brown couldn't help but interject, "Oh, come on! I've met Mrs. Delaney a few times, and she doesn't strike me as that sort of person."

Someone asked, "You've met Mrs. Delaney?"

Mrs. Brown nodded, "Yes, we've attended an art exhibition together. Didn't I tell you? Mrs. Delaney is the real deal. Fanny was worried Mrs. Delaney's talents would overshadow hers and even tried to sabotage her. But B. Aster stepped in, cleared Mrs. Delaney's name, and now she's the president of the Greenmeadow Art Association!"

"That's quite the pedigree! She must have great poise."

In this world, intellectuals were highly respected, and being a master of watercolor painting was indeed a revered title.

However, there were skeptics, "It's easy to know a person's face, but not their heart. Some might be gifted but lack virtue. Fanny was also a celebrated name in the world of watercolor painting, yet her morals were questionable. We don't always see that side!"

"And besides, even if Mrs. Delaney is a saint, what about this daughter of hers, recently found from an orphanage? Not necessarily a good apple, considering she's been outside for eighteen years!"

"That's right. Why are there rumors about her only within Greenmeadow International School? There must be something fishy."

Mrs. Brown thought of Cordelia and shook her head, "I don't think Ms. Delaney is like that..."

"And how can you be so sure?"

"Yeah, my daughter vouched for her!"

Mrs. Collins approached, overhearing the conversation, and spoke with a displeased tone, "We shouldn't pass judgment without knowing the full story. Have you all forgotten that basic decency?"

The room went silent.

As ladies of affluent homes, they knew better than to indulge in baseless gossip, but idle times often led to idle talk.

They nodded in agreement to Mrs. Collins.

She then stepped aside, revealing a strikingly beautiful sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl dressed in flamboyant red.

She introduced with a smile, "This is Ms. Robinson! Just call her Abbey. She's here to enjoy the party. Why don't your daughters show her around?"

Given Mrs. Collins's grand introduction, Abbey's background was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Speculations arose, especially with the recent arrival of Bill in Greenmeadow, and eyes filled with curiosity turned towards Abbey, whispering, "Mrs. Collins, is she related to the Robinson family?"

Mrs. Collins nodded.

Abbey was indeed Bill's sister.

She had accompanied Bill to Greenmeadow due to some business he had with the Collins family. Mrs. Collins, albeit a bit overwhelmed by Abbey's high-spirited nature, couldn't help but feel a tad proud of hosting her.

Upon learning Abbey was from Ontoky City and related to Bill, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement.
