The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 24

After getting back to her apartment, Cordelia took a shower and changed clothes to shake off the drug-induced discomfort. Lying on her bed, she thought about what had happened just now and grew angrier.

How could she have such a brother who not only didn’t care about his mother, but also plotted against his own sister? Moreover, Ronan didn't even want to hear her out, which left her feeling super frustrated.

At that moment, Brooklyn came home from work and asked with concern, "How're you doing, Cordelia? You alright?"

Cordelia replied weakly, "I'm fine, what's up?"

Remembering the gossip she heard from her colleagues, Brooklyn was worried, fearing that her friend might have been bullied. She hurriedly asked, "You didn't have a fight with Mr. Evans, did you? I heard someone came to look for him at the office and he even took her in the private elevator."

"Huh, what about it?" Cordelia asked.

"They say she was Mr. Evans' ex-girlfriend.” Brooklyn said.

Actually, Brooklyn had already sugarcoated it. The colleagues' original words were.

"Cordelia is ordinary employee. She got all cocky after riding in Mr. Evans' car twice. She really needs to look in the mirror and see what she really is."

"You're right on the spot! Today, Ms. Deanna came to see the boss, she's the elegant and smart type that Mr. Evans should marry. She even got to ride in the boss's private elevator. Cordelia never had that privilege! Looks like she never will in her lifetime."
