It took Adrian a while to reply to Cordelia's message on Messenger.
[Hey, who's this? My little sis? Which country are you back from?]
[Are you free tomorrow?]
[Sure, sure. If my little sister asks, how could I say no? Where should we meet?]
[I'm currently staying at Brooklyn's place. Let's meet at the corner near her house.]
[What about the fancy condo Ronan got you?]
[The condo is his. After the divorce, I was left with nothing.] Cordelia didn't dare tell Adrian the truth. She only said she was penniless, not mentioning the assets Ronan had split with her.
[Are you useless? Did you bear a child for him for nothing?]
Adrian didn't hold much hope for Cordelia after learning she was left with nothing. Apparently, he wouldn't get anything out of her either.
After messaging Adrian, Cordelia started scrolling through her old Facebook account on her old phone.
She found nothing on Ronan's Facebook page. She wanted to check on Callum but realized she had been blocked by him.
Three years ago, she had ignored his advice and went to the States, then to the UK, and never returned. He had every reason to block her.
Cordelia mustered some courage and sent him a message. [Can you unblock me?]
He didn't reply. Fair enough, he was the CEO of Lumos Enterprises. Why would he let just anyone view his Facebook?
Cordelia bravely sent him a friend request on Messenger from her new phone. In the verification info, she only wrote one word. [Cordelia.]
