The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 120

Jordan went up to see Ronan and spilled the beans about what was going on. During the conversation, Jordan was clearly siding with Cordelia, while Manda was adamant that Ronan should be the one to make the decision.

Ronan thought about Adrian giving Cordelia the bag this morning. He had warned her to be careful, but he knew that it would be hard for her to be mindful in such a short time.

"You dare to investigate my wife?" Ronan said to Jordan, leaning back in his chair, his gazes like daggers, piercing into Jordan.

"I know...but if we don't investigate, people won't calm down." Jordan was sweating bullets.

Jordan felt that Ronan was protecting Cordelia because he must have sensed something was off. Manda's shopping receipt gave Jordan more confidence.

"If we don't investigate, people will think Cordelia swapped the bags. By protecting her and not allowing an inquiry, she won't be able to clear her name, and it will only make matters more awkward for her. What I'm doing is actually for Cordelia, to help her clear any suspicion." Jordan said.

Ronan frowned. He and Cordelia had been having a bit of a tiff, and he seldom sent messages to her. And with Jordan here, he couldn't send any at all.

Then the phone rang, it was Cordelia. "Mr. Evans, Mr. Jordan probably wants you to witness the investigation. Just come down." Cordelia said seriously on the other end of the line.

"Are you sure?" Ronan asked with a furrowed brow. He trusted that Cordelia would never do such a thing, but she might not be able to escape Adrian's trap.

"I'm sure. I'd like to prove my innocence in front of you."

"Let's go to the Finance Department." Ronan said after hanging up the phone.

Jordan was secretly delighted, thinking, if he could dig up all of Cordelia's issues, combined with her bad impression on Ronan, it would be tough for her to move to the Audit Department in the future. She would have to tread carefully under him.

This was Ronan's second time in the Finance Department. The last time was when he needed a shirt from Cordelia.

Manda was staring at Cordelia with a pained expression.

Cordelia had been working in front of her computer and hadn't left.
