The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 240

Ronan's call was to the manager of RC. The factory had been up and running for a while now. He originally wanted to surprise Cordelia, but alas, she had gone abroad, none the wiser.

She had turned her attention elsewhere, opening up First Enterprises, displaying an astonishing level of adaptability.

"Ronan, this could easily alienate Cordelia, you know?" Emerson raised his concern after overhearing Ronan's phone conversation.

"She brought it upon herself." Ronan retorted, his gaze drifting towards the window. "No one forced her to give gifts to others."

"But she...after all, she's pregnant with twins. If something were to happen..." Emerson was evidently worried. "If she's being ostracized, she definitely won't have a good time at the Colby's."

"If she's not comfortable there, then she should move out."

Emerson thought to himself that making Cordelia move out would be Ronan's real intention.

Within a few days, RC adjusted their sales strategy, focusing on the brand's story. On every clothing label, the origin of the brand was written. The first letter of the husband's name is R, and the first letter of the wife's name is C. The story came from a promise made by the husband upon hearing his wife wished to no longer buy clothes from outside. He promised they would start a factory together, focusing on men's fashion and accessories, catering to wives who loved their husbands.

This story played across advertisements for almost half a month. It was heart-tugging, and RC's sales skyrocketed.

But Cordelia didn’t buy any clothes, so she didn’t know about it. However, Thomas loved the clothes. His wife, Ava, decided to buy him another piece. That's how she came across the brand's story. She even found the story quite romantic, asking the shop assistant, "What's the name of your CEO?"

"Ronan," the assistant replied.

Ava remained silent for a long time. Ronan's ex-wife was Cordelia. The first letter of Cordelia's name was C, wasn’t it?

This fact was stuck in Ava's mind. Even though it was a thing of the past, Ava found herself disliking Cordelia. After all, everyone on the streets now knew about her past relationship with Ronan. How was Jamie supposed to cope?

Even though Ava didn't tell Jamie about it, Jamie still found out. RC's advertisements had been everywhere recently. One day, while he was working on his computer, an RC promo popped up in the bottom right corner of his screen.

Jamie knew.

Cordelia, busy with work every day, also knew. She was so angry that she felt a stomachache. She didn't understand why Ronan was doing this to her.

Jamie silently took off the shirt Cordelia had given him. The atmosphere in Jamie's house suddenly turned icy. Despite this, Jamie still treated Cordelia kindly on the surface.

Sometimes when he wanted to serve Cordelia food, Ava would say, "Eat your food, Jamie. Do you even know what Cordelia likes?"

Cordelia could sense Ava's change. Every time this happened, she would feel the desolation of being at someone else's mercy. She missed her mother more and more, and her hatred for Ronan grew.

New Year's Day was soon approaching.

On this day, Jamie specifically asked Cordelia to come downstairs. He had set off many fireworks in the yard.

Cordelia, covering her ears, couldn't help but remember the fireworks she and Jamie had watched together in Roseville last year.

"Cordelia, do you want to watch fireworks with me every year?" Jamie asked Cordelia.
