The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 379

These messages had all arrived in the wee hours of the morning.

Usually, Cordelia's phone was on silent mode at night, as she didn’t want to be disturbed during her sleep. In the morning, she hastily got ready for class, without checking her phone. After class, she rushed straight to grab lunch.

[Cordelia, you need to see what kind of man Ronan truly is. He's running me out of town! Does he even care about our family anymore? Cordelia, you did right by divorcing him.]

[Cordelia, Tabitha was the girl I fancied, and that bastard Ronan bedded her. How could I stand for this? I confronted him, damn, what a jerk.]

Adrian sounded extremely angry.

Since Cordelia had missed the best time to respond, it didn't make much sense to reply now.

Cordelia added Petra on Messenger. Petra appeared to have something to say to Cordelia, but in the end, she didn’t, and they parted ways.

Unbeknownst to Cordelia, a dramatic scene had played out in the Lumos Enterprises CEO’s office yesterday.

Adrian had also seen the news and was furious that Ronan had slept with Tabitha, the girl he was into. Adrian felt humiliated. He had convinced himself that Ronan was intentionally antagonizing him, and, in a fit of anger, stormed into Ronan's office.

"Ronan, what's your deal? I was just starting to fancy her, and you fucked her. You've got a wife and kid already. Are you deliberately trying to cross me?" Adrian hollered in Ronan's office.

"She’s my ex-wife!"

Diverted by Ronan's three-word response, Adrian got even angrier. "Are you intentionally messing with my family? You married Cordelia, then dumped her, and left her child behind. Then you gave me money before taking it all back. I’m starting to suspect you had something to do with my mom's death! Did you kill my mom?"
