The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 312

Edwin was still in a state of shock even as they hit the freeway. "What happened? What did you hear?"

"Cordelia was right..." Edwin then recounted everything he'd heard at Ronald's place to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn turned pale as well. She felt the same as Edwin. Samantha was a terrifying woman.

"We can't tell Cordelia about this!" Edwin said. "She's pregnant, and she can't handle such news. If she found out that her grandmother was killed on purpose by Samantha, Cordelia would definitely get upset."

"But isn't finding out the truth why Cordelia sent us there?" Brooklyn asked.

"Yes, but we can't tell her." Edwin seemed very anxious. "Since she had suspicions before, she'll definitely be wary of Samantha. We should just let it be."

Brooklyn thought for a moment and agreed. “So, we're going to keep this a secret between us?" Brooklyn asked Edwin.

"Yes."

"So we have a secret together?"

"Sure do." Edwin smiled at Brooklyn.

Brooklyn smiled back.

"But you need to remind Cordelia to be careful around her cousin. She's too sly." Edwin felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about Samantha.

When Edwin and Brooklyn returned to the office, it was 4 p.m. Brooklyn went straight to her dorm room. She sent a message to Cordelia. [Cordelia, Edwin, and I are back. We didn't find out much, but you need to be careful around Samantha. Be very careful!]

Cordelia read the message and replied. [If you didn't find out anything, why should I be careful?]

Brooklyn thought. Oh no, Cordelia's suspicion was aroused.

[Just be careful, that's all.]
