In response to Ben's angry statement, Elijah told him that he must bear the consequences of his own
actions.
Although Cordelia still broke up with him, he was still proud that Cordelia believed in him without
hesitation when he explained the matter.
Suddenly, Ben turned to look at Elijah, and when he saw his expression, he immediately sneered,
"What can you be proud of? Whether your woman believed in you or not, she still left you. What is the
difference between you and me?"
Ben wanted to mock him that at least Imogen was still pregnant with his child.
However, when he thought of Cordelia's physical condition, he held back, fearing that Elijah would be
sad to think of the past. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
He was just a bad friend, not an enemy, and he would not reveal Elijah's scar in the heart.
Elijah raised his wine glass and clinked Ben's wine glass placed on the table. "I will win Cordelia's heart
back again."
"How many times have you pursued her? Do you still want to do it? So what if you win her again? Will
she still break up with you?" Ben said disdainfully.
Elijah chuckled, staring at a certain place in the void, and his gaze became gentle.
"Because she deserves it."
She deserved him to put down his dignity to pursue her.
Ben stared at Elijah, waved his hand, and said, "Stop it. I can't stand you. You're so cheesy."
Elijah withdrew his thoughts, looked at Ben, and said, "You should find out the reason yourself. Since
you like the girl, don't always hold yourself up and act superior. Women need to be coaxed."
Ben looked casually at the surface, but he was thinking about Elijah's words in his heart.
He knew the fact. When he coaxed Imogen patiently, she behaved like a kitten, gentle and adorable.
The more he looked at her, the more he couldn't help but adore her.
But Imogen was making a big fuss this time because a little sign of disturbance angered him.
"Just leave her alone for a few days. I may have spoiled her too much, making her think she is high
and mighty," Ben said indifferently.
Elijah didn't care about them. Let alone they did whatever they wanted.
He could now not fend for himself, so he had no interest in meddling in their business.
Besides, best friends needed to suffer heartbroken together.
When Cordelia reached home, she felt exhausted. After taking a shower, she called Imogen and
shared with her what happened at the banquet.
Listening to Imogen's voice, she became more energetic and was happy to hear the gossip.
"Oh, my goodness! This old, shameless man actually started to covet my Cordelia again. Why doesn't
he just go and steal another family girl?"
Cordelia couldn't stop laughing when she heard Imogen's mockery and said, "I really admire him. He
even asked Eason to invite Mr. Carter and me and talked about the marriage with their family back
then."
Imogen suddenly took a deep breath and said, "How dare him! He wants you to marry into their family
again. Oh my, this old cunning fox has a good plan!"
"He wants Eason to marry you to force Elijah to give up on you. Then, he will let Elijah marry someone
else to stabilize the status of Hansen Group in Beilve City. Tsk! He is really scheming."
Cordelia was stunned. Indeed.
She never thought about having any special relationship with Eason, so she didn't think so much.
Now, according to what Imogen said, it seemed that Gideon wanted to regain control over Elijah
through her.
So, everything was temporary, and in Gideon's heart, his favorite successor as head of the family was
still Elijah.
