The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 151

Ronan strolled in. One hand tucked in his pocket, he was here to pick up some documents from the office.

The meeting was about restructuring the Finance Department, requiring the cooperation of other departments. Apart from the restructuring, they also needed to address the issues left over from Jordan's term and prepare next year's budget. Today's meeting could run late into the night.

He saw Cordelia standing in front of his desk, tears streaming down her face.

“What’s up? Your man hasn’t kicked the bucket, why the waterworks?” He walked over to Cordelia, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Cordelia pushed him away forcefully. “So, you’re the one behind it,” said Cordelia.

At first, when Ronan heard “it," he thought Deanna had compressed the video and sent it to Cordelia.

"Yeah, I did it, so what?" Ronan didn't appreciate the tone Cordelia was using.

"I can't believe you're such a scumbag!"

"What now?" Ronan said, heading to his desk to pick up the documents. He glanced at his computer screen and saw a message from Adrian.

Cordelia had sent him a message a while ago, but he had just walked into the meeting room and hadn't checked his phone, so he had no idea Adrian had messaged him.

He sneered at Cordelia, "So, you're not crying over me after all."

"Why? Why did you do it? What did he ever do to you! Is liking me a crime? Nothing happened between us!" Cordelia shouted hoarsely.

"I just can't stand his face!" Ronan curled his lips.

"Do you plan to ruin everyone you dislike?" Cordelia was on the verge of breaking down. What on earth did Jamie do wrong!

Ronan clenched his jaw, the veins in his temples throbbing. "Stop your sob story about him in front of me!" Ronan was furious.

"You ruined him!" Cordelia said. Even if Ronan disliked Jamie, he shouldn't have used such despicable means.

"Does it hurt to see him like this?" Ronan asked her coldly.

Cordelia had no reply.

"Let's get a divorce!" Cordelia gathered her emotions and said. "I don't want to be with someone as manipulative as you."

Everything that happened made her realize how calculating and terrifying Ronan was. Also, Ronan only seemed to find out about what Adrian did after glancing at the screen. Maybe his previous answers weren't about the same thing Cordelia was talking about.

So, what was he actually answering? How many things had he done that Cordelia hadn't seen?

Now, she was being blamed for getting her benefactor in trouble. Maybe one day he'd sell her off and she'd even help him count the money!

"Divorce?" Ronan looked at her coldly. "You only cared about the money when we got married, now what? Demanding emotions? Divorce because I can't meet your demands?"

Cordelia didn't reply and just held her head high stubbornly. Everything before had misled her into thinking he cared for her.

"We can divorce after your mom's fully recovered but don't forget, I have the final say!" said Ronan.

Cordelia had nothing to say. She had no idea her mom had recovered so quickly. Most importantly, there was still his grandfather.

Ronan picked up the documents, grabbed Cordelia's chin tightly, and said, "I have a meeting now. You'd better reflect on your actions."

With that, he left.
