Chapter 123 The Handbags

The constant morning sickness made Cordelia feel mentally drained allday, and she became forgetful.

"I knew you'd forget. But there's a secret I haven't told you yet. Themale lead for tonight's performance is Ivan Veblen!"

lvan was a legend in the world of dance, having long since become astudio owner. He was Imogen's idol.

"Alright then. I'll witness your dream-come-true moment tonight andremind you to wipe away any drool,” Cordelia half-jokingly replied.After a bit more laughter and conversation, Imogen suddenly turnedserious. "Cordelia, you know what? Elissa's family company has gonebankrupt!"

"Really? Didn't Ben try to help salvage their family business? Maybe hecould have even moved Elissa to offer herself as a sacrifice!” Cordeliaretorted with sarcasm, though she wasn't surprised.

Elijah was a person who sought revenge for even the slightest wrong.However, Cordelia had initially thought that Elijah had just wanted toteach Elissa a lesson, but it seemed he had taken more drasticmeasures.

Yet, Imogen'’s response was full of meaning. "Cordelia, you don'tunderstand.”

"What?"

"Ben would love it if Elissa lost everything. That way, she'd have nochoice but to cling to him tightly," Imogen explained.

Isee

Cordelia knew that Ben was quite viperous.

"What about you, Imogen? If they... What are your plans for the future?”Cordelia asked with concern.

"I've already talked to Mr. Veblen. I'm planning to sign with his dancetroupe and develop my career in Tarssa City," Imogen replied casually.This sudden news took Cordelia aback.

Nonetheless, she was genuinely happy for Imogen's newfoundfreedom

She would have a bright future!

At dusk, Elijah returned home quite early.

Cordelia was lounging on the couch reading a book when she sawElijah coming in with an elegant handbag from a certain brand. Herexpression stiffened.

She had already felt uncomfortable, and now her anger was gettingharder to contain.

"Take it away!"

Elijah halted in his tracks, looking at Cordelia in bewilderment. Seeingher bad expression, he quickly put down the handbag and approachedher cautiously.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should I call the family doctorto check on you?"

Cordelia didn't want him to come near her. She pushed his shoulderand said, "Step away."

Elijah arched an eyebrow. "What's going on? What did I do to upsetyou?"

Cordelia turned her face away, refusing to speak.

Elijah glanced back at the handbag he had just been holding, thenguessed. "You don't want me to give you a gift?"

"I don't need it," Cordelia said coldly.

Elijah’s gaze dimmed. "Then suit yourself.”

After saying that, Elijah got up and walked away but didn't throw awaythe gift he had brought.

After all, it was a handbag worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.Which woman wouldn't be happy to receive it?

Just look at how proud Mae and Eva were. Even though they wereobtained through wholesale, their value was still undeniable.

As Cordelia was planning to go out to watch Imogen’s performancelater in the evening, she went upstairs to change her clothes and getready. The time was almost right.

However, as she was about to leave, Elijah walked out of the diningroom. "Aren't you eating? Where are you going?"

"I don't have an appetite, so I'm skipping dinner. I'm heading to thetheater,” Cordelia replied without even glancing at him, busy changingher shoes.

Seeing that she was really about to leave, Elijah immediately shouted,"Cordelia, stop right there!"

Cordelia glanced at the time, then turned around impatiently. "What'swrong?"

Elijah took a swift step forward and pressed her against the door."Cordelia, do you really think I can't do anything about you?"Cordelia's beautiful eyes contracted as she looked at him.

Elijah nibbled at her neck!
