Cordelia didn't expect Imogen to have such a big reaction. She laughed and said, "I know she is not a good person. I just didn't expect that she came to provoke me today."
"She's very clever. On the one hand, Elijah will think she is nice. On the other hand, she made you feel uncomfortable. She killed two birds with one stone," Imogen said disdainfully.
Cordelia smiled faintly. "I indeed feel uncomfortable. She told me that although Elijah had a deal with her, he treated her well."
"This is how the marriage for convenience works. Even if they have no feelings for each other, they must be together for common interests. Over time, they will develop feelings," said Imogen.
As Imogen said that, she was suddenly startled, looked at Cordelia apologetically, and said, "I'm talking about Ben and me!"
Cordelia shook her head nonchalantly. After all, Imogen's words were true.
However, the relationship generated by the binding of interests was not strong and would fall apart at the slightest disturbance.
"Cordelia, what are you going to do next?" Imogen asked with concern.
"The work in Grant City is about to end, and I will go to Bloom City later," Cordelia said casually.
"I want to go with you." Imogen fiddled with her fingers, looking pitiful.
Cordelia shook her head, saying, "You stay in Grant City before giving birth, and don't run around. Ben can't stretch his hands to Grant City in the short term. But Bloom City is Elijah's territory, and it's not safe."
Imogen sighed. "Okay. Then you have to chat with me more. Otherwise, I will be so bored."
"Okay."
Early the next morning, Cordelia met Elijah on the way to Jayden's manor.
He stopped the car and caught up with Cordelia.
"Cordelia, we need to talk."
"No need." Cordelia continued walking forward.
Suddenly, Elijah grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
Cordelia didn't struggle. She knew it was useless because Elijah would not let her go.
