Not long after, Whitney's message came through: "Yes, that's him. He looks quite handsome."
Cordelia looked puzzled. How did Ronan know Logan, and even visited his house? She suddenly thought of her diary. Could Ronan have read it? Was it the day she asked Ronan to help her find her Driver's License?
Cordelia immediately sent a message to Janice: "Janice, did you find my Driver's License in my suitcase when you helped me look for it?"
Before Janice could reply, Ronan had already walked over.
"Mr. Evans, Ms. Haselwood wants to discuss prices with you. She needs two hundred computers," Zach said.
"Really? She's an employee of our company, what does she need two hundred computers for?" Ronan asked with a calm smile, his gazes deep and unreadable.
Brooklyn was somewhat spooked. Edwin also had no clue what Ronan was up to. He guessed that Ronan didn't want to reveal their relationship in front of his subordinates.
Ronan wanted to gather more information from him.
Unbeknownst to him, Edwin had become Ronan's mole.
"Well, here's the thing. I used to have a boyfriend named Logan. He was a teacher in Cedar Hollow. His wish was to donate two hundred computers to the primary school children he taught. Unfortunately, he sacrificed his life trying to save a child from drowning. I want to help him fulfill this wish," Cordelia said candidly.
Since Ronan already knew, she might as well just say it.
"Really? Is that so?" Ronan laughed, "Were you and your ex-boyfriend very in love?"
Cordelia paused. Her relationship with Logan was clearly recorded in the diary.
She didn't bother hiding it anymore, "We were very in love. We were even planning to get married."
Brooklyn, who was unaware of the situation, anxiously squeezed Cordelia's hand, blaming her for being crazy. Even if she wanted to make Ronan jealous, she didn't have to go this far.
Ronan narrowed his eyes, and his gaze turned icy. Knowing that Cordelia had such deep feelings for her first love, Ronan's mood worsened. His tone became more confrontational, and his coldness towards Cordelia more apparent.
"Is that so? But the cost of two hundred computers isn't cheap. Even if you're willing, it'll cost tens of thousands of dollars. You're so young, unless you come from a wealthy family, how could you have so much money?" Ronan stared at Cordelia intently.
