Chapter 307 Provocation
"Cordelia, the engagement between Mr. Hansen and me is fake. We have nothing to do with each
other. Please don't misunderstand Mr. Hansen. He is a good person."
Clare had practiced this speech countless times and finally breathed a sigh of relief after saying it.
Clare knew she was clumsy in expressing herself and was afraid that her improper expression would
make Cordelia misunderstand Elijah even more.
Cordelia nodded. "Okay, I got what you mean. Is there any more?"
Clare was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
"No more?" Cordelia stared at her.
Her stare was not harsh but gave off an inexplicable sense of majesty, which made Clare
subconsciously dodge her gaze.
"What about you? Do you like him?" Cordelia asked with a faint smile.
She didn't sound like an outsider but was like chatting with a friend.
Still, her question brought a lot of pressure to Clare.
She shook her head repeatedly and said, "Evie, Mr. Hansen is your boyfriend. How can I like him?"
Seeing that she told a lie, Cordelia suddenly lost interest in chatting with her.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Then, Cordelia stood up.
"I'm telling the truth. I hope you can understand Mr. Hansen. He has reasons for getting engaged to
me," Clare said anxiously.
"Of course, I know." Cordelia looked at Clare with indifference and alienation. "But I can't understand
him."
Clare got a little anxious and stood up. "Don't you like Mr. Hansen?"
Cordelia smiled faintly and asked, "What does that have to do with you?"
Clare bit her lips. It was indeed none of her business.
However, she didn't want to see a man as good as Elijah feel sad.
"Did he ask you to explain it to me?" Cordelia asked.
"No. I took the initiative to explain to you," Clare said quickly.
"Since you don't like him, why do you work so hard to help him?" Cordelia continued asking.
"I..." Clare clenched her fists tightly. "Mr. Hansen has treated me very well, and I want to repay him."
Cordelia believed that.
Just because they met in the coffee shop in the middle of the night, Cordelia believed that Elijah had
pity for her.
But such a passionate man would only make Cordelia feel disgusted.
"You can tell him that I already know about your fake engagement." After speaking, Cordelia turned and
left.
"Will you forgive him?" Clare asked.
However, Cordelia didn't even turn her head back, completely ignoring her question.
Cordelia found it ridiculous.
"They have already engaged, and they want to get me involved." Cordelia wondered what they thought
she was and what position they put her in.
Cordelia didn't know whether Clare was sincere or fake.
If she were sincere, she was obviously full of longing and affection for Elijah.
If she were fake, she wouldn't have done this at all and just needed to be his fiancée.
Cordelia wanted to share with Imogen what had happened to her day and ask Imogen, who was an This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
outsider, to help her analyze it.
So, she called Imogen.
Knowing that Cordelia finally had the desire to communicate, Imogen took a taxi excitedly and came to
the hotel to find her.
Cordelia was stunned when she saw Imogen standing at the door with a smile.
"Why did you come so fast? Did you come here by yourself? Didn't you ask Adam to send you off?"
Imogen waved her hand and said, "Cordelia, I think I should be like you. I can't rely too much on others
and will walk the way myself."
With that said Imogen sat on the small sofa and added, "Of course, I still have to rely on you, my dear,
lovely, and beloved almighty Cordelia."
Cordelia was amused. "Fine, my beloved friend!"
As she said that, the two immediately burst into laughter.
Afterward, Cordelia walked Imogen through the meeting with Clare.
Imogen kept changing her expression as she listened. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "It's a
provocation. This is definitely a provocation! Cordelia, don't be fooled by her gentle and lovely
appearance!"
