Chapter 187 He's Getting Engaged

No wonder Ben sent him the screenshot and then separately sent thisphoto.

Elijah's eyes gradually dimmed, losing their sparkle.

Elijah couldn't help but think that they had ultimately come together.The more Elijah thought about it, the more he couldn't control himself.Just then, his cell phone rang.

Gideon's stern voice came from the end of the line. "Elijah, why did yourefuse Daisy's invitation to have dinner together? Weren't you alwaysgood friends before?"

"I'm busy," Elijah replied coldly.

"Don't you even have time for a meal? Do you think I'm confused?Don't forget, you're single now, you don't need to worry about somuch! I'll make the reservation at the restaurant, and you can treatDaisy. Put it on my tab!"

With that, Gideon hung up the phone without giving Elijah a chance torefuse.

Elijah's face grew solemn as he looked out of the window, his gazebecoming increasingly dim.

After spending the whole day outside, Cordelia's mood improvedsignificantly.

Eason dropped Cordelia off at her place and was about to leave.Cordelia glanced at the time and said, "Eason, it's getting late. Stay andhave a meal before you go. The food here is delicious.”

Cordelia suggested it herself, and naturally, Eason wouldn't refuse.Just as they sat down, Cordelia received a call from Imogen

Imogen's voice was small, saying she was hiding in the bathroom to callCordelia.

"What happened?” Cordelia asked anxiously.

Cordelia was worried about Imogen since she was currently out of townand unable to help her in time.

Imogen sighed, "Ah, what could happen to me? I'm just worried aboutyou. After all, the Hansen family and the Kingsley family forming analliance, it's really too quick after your divorce.”

"Alliance?" Cordelia furrowed her brow.

Upon hearing her words, Eason also looked at her.

"It's been spreading all over Beilve City that the Hansen family and theKingsley family are going to form an alliance. Their engagementceremony will be held soon. And tonight, Elijah and Daisy are having adate at a restaurant, which practically confirms these rumors.”

Cordelia felt as though Imogen's voice was becoming quieter andquieter. In the end, she could barely hear what she was saying.

But in reality, Imogen’s volume hadn't changed. It was buzzing inCordelia's ears, almost blocking out all sounds.

Cordelia took a deep breath and calmly said, "Gideon mentioned this tome before. I just didn't expect that, as a second marriage, he would stillgo through with an engagement. Well, that's fine.”

Imogen laughed on the other end. "Elijah is indeed quite popular.Unlike Ben, it's been so long since we broke off our engagement, buthe still doesn't have anyone and keeps eyes on me every day."

At that moment, there was a knocking sound on the phone, andImogen hurriedly said, "Cordelia, I'll talk to you later. I have to hang upnow!"

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Cordelia became somewhat absent-minded

Eason, who had been silent, suddenly put down his phone and spoke,"Cordelia. The truck driver is willing to testify. I've sent Adam to takecare of it."

Cordelia immediately sat up straight, looking at Eason seriously. "Whoinstructed him?"

"His testimony points to Eva, but it wasn't her who did that, but it wasone of her friends named Hazel," Eason said.

Cordelia remembered this person. She had encountered Hazel at arestaurant before.

She didn't expect that Eva would have such a loyal friend to her.

A sarcastic smile curled at the corner of Cordelia's lips. "Whether it's heror her friend, it doesn't matter. No one involved in this matter canescape!"
