Gideon snorted coldly, "You brat, I never saw you care about Cordelia during your marriage. You were always out, leading a life of debauchery with numerous affairs."
Gideon's words clearly had a deeper meaning, and they were for Cordelia.
Since Gideon had just taken the medicine she gave him, he couldn't openly confront her anymore, so he resorted to veiled remarks.
That old man was really cunning.
Cordelia remained calm and steady.
But then, Gideon suddenly changed the subject and said meaningfully, "Cordelia, do you still trust Elijah? Let me remind you, now nobody will stand up for you anymore!"
Elijah's gaze turned cold.
Gideon's words struck directly at Cordelia's heart!
Cordelia, who had always remained calm even in the face of great adversity, couldn't hide the deep sadness on her face.
Those who didn't know Cordelia thought she was a pitiable person abandoned by her family.
Only Elijah knew best that Cordelia's sadness stemmed from missing her grandmother.
Suddenly, Cordelia put on a smiling face, radiant with joy.
"Sir Hansen, you're taking advantage of being an elder to bully me.
"I would suggest you leave yourself a way out. Don't push me too hard. Tread on a worm, and it will turn. Besides, how can you be sure you won't need my help in the future?"
Gideon hadn't expected Cordelia to have such confidence in front of him. It was completely different from when she was a daughter-in-law in the Hansen family.
Gideon simply felt that she was pretending to be confident.
"I will need your help?! Haha... That's nonsense. Stop dreaming. I will never ask for your help in my lifetime."
Edith said softly to Gabe, "Gideon just took medication from Cordelia. How could he change his attitude so quickly."
