The Contracted Ever After novel Chapter 399

When Cordelia was nursing her broken heart, Samantha arrived.

Surprisingly, Samantha had gained quite a bit of popularity. As soon as she walked in, people were asking for her autograph. She took a seat across from Cordelia.

"Long time no see, cuz," Samantha said.

Cordelia ignored Samantha, her gaze firmly on the window. If murder was legal, Cordelia would have killed Samantha long ago.

"Cordelia, I'm telling you for your own sake, you need to leave Ronan. Did you see what he did to Aunt? He made her fall down the stairs, insulted her in court, and God knows what he did to Adrian. He slept with Adrian's girl, and got her pregnant. The poor woman didn't want the baby, but he forced her to keep it. She has a congenital heart condition, you know. And what he's done to you... well."

Cordelia glared at Samantha. She was suspicious of how Samantha knew about the court case and Tabitha's heart condition. It was clear that only someone from Alana's crew would know such things.

Cordelia had a hunch that Tabitha, Allison, and Samantha were all working for Alana. They were all trying to convince Cordelia to leave.

Samantha's allegiance to Alana was easy to understand. Alana was a big shot in the film industry, and Samantha wanted to be a famous actress.

Ronan said Alana wouldn't be a problem anymore, but it seemed she was not only still a problem but was casting a larger and larger net. Cordelia realized that if this continued, not only would she be in trouble, but Ronan and Callum would be, too.

"Tell your boss I'm leaving for America. I'll never come back," Cordelia said.

"Huh, Cordelia, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand," Samantha replied, not hiding the joy in her voice. She couldn't stand to see Cordelia thriving in Millstone.

Cordelia's lips curled up in a mocking smile before she left.
