Cordelia withdrew her gaze and then followed Eason to take their seats.
At this time, Daisy came over and toasted Cordelia and Eason.
"Congratulations to both of you. You're truly a well-matched pair."
When she said this, many people looked in their direction.
For a moment, many people seemed to acquiesce in the relationship between Cordelia and Eason.
Cordelia looked at Daisy and asked, "Miss Kingsley, did you come alone? Haven't you won Elijah's heart?"
Daisy was taken aback momentarily, and then her face blushed red. "Oh dear, those rumors are unreliable. Cordelia, you'd better watch your words."
"The condition is that you also watch your words here," Cordelia smirked faintly and stared at her.
Eason spoke immediately, "Cordelia and I are partners in cooperation and comrades in arms. Please be more mindful of your words in the future, Miss Kingsley."
Upon hearing Eason address her as "Miss Kingsley," Daisy was nearly fuming.
She thought, 'Why are you pretending like this? You do know me, don't you? Our families had dinner together just yesterday!'
At this time, the charity auction began.
Daisy took the opportunity to leave quickly, sparing herself from the awkward situation.
Cordelia's gaze remained indifferent from the beginning to the end as if she hardly regarded her with any significance.
Eason asked Cordelia in a low voice, "Are you okay, Cordelia?"
Cordelia smiled at him. "I'm okay, Eason."
At this moment, Ben, sitting not far away, bumped Elijah with his shoulder and said, "Can you tolerate this? She didn't come with you but with another guy."
"It is none of my business. We no longer have any connection," Elijah said indifferently, his tone full of disdain.
At this time, Daisy came over. "Elijah, can I sit next to you?"
Seeing this, Ben prepared to stand up and give his seat to Daisy.
However, Elijah said, "You can't."
