Chapter 20 Cordelia Wanted to Ask Something
Imogen’s expression instantly became serious.
“Cordelia, I didn’t intend to tell you about this matter and wanted to solve it myself because I haven’t
figured out why Elijah did this.”
Then Imogen and Cordelia went to a café and chatted slowly.
“Because the sponsors ran away collectively, the dance troupe couldn’t perform. You mean Elijah did
this?”
There was anger hidden in Cordelia’s eyes because she already had some guesses.
Imogen waved her hand. “What’s worse, no one dares to sponsor the Light Dance Company as soon
as hearing its name. Cordelia, I suspect that this matter has something to do with that bastard Ben
Turner!”
Hearing what she said, Cordelia’s eyebrows relaxed. “Aren’t you and Ben going to break off the
engagement?”
“That’s why that bastard wants to fix me.” Imogen clenched her teeth in anger.
Ben was Imogen’s fiancé and also Elijah’s close friend.

just an excuse.
“I’ll ask Elijah about it in the evening,” Cordelia said after careful consideration.
Imogen was a little guilty because she knew that the relationship between Cordelia and Elijah had been
tense recently.
So she quickly nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Cordelia!”
At night, Cordelia appeared in Maple Villa, the place where she had lived for three years.
Now she moved, but Elijah came back here every day instead. Maybe he was mocking her.
When Elijah, who was in home wear, saw Cordelia appearing in front of him at this time, he looked at
her with a playful look and smiled.
“Why? You have gotten back your conscience and come back to fulfill your obligations as my wife?”
Cordelia lowered her eyes, ignoring his teasing. “I have something to ask you.”
Elijah slowly approached her, took her wrist, and led her to the sofa.
He didn’t let her sit down on the sofa but pulled her directly to
down on his lap.
Surprised and angry, Cordelia protested, “Elijah, I have something serious to talk to you about.”
“Okay, go on.”
Elijah’s expression seemed to be telling her she should go on.
Cordelia was angry.
Originally, she came here with the mentality of having a fierce quarrel with him. But now, she once
again felt powerless.
“You did something to the Light Dance Company, right? Why?”
Elijah’s eyes darkened. “Aren’t you just an external dancer? What does it have to do with you?”
His hand had unconsciously wrapped around Cordelia’s slender waist as if it was a silent threat.
“Someone asked me for help,” Cordelia said calmly.
“Since this matter has nothing to do with you, just mind your own business.” Elijah’s tone became much
colder.
Cordelia asked, “I just want to know the reason.”
Elijah pushed her away, glanced at the phone, and got up to walk to the wine cabinet to pour wine
while thinking of something.
Cordelia looked at him quietly and said with a smile, “You ask
Elijah shook the wine glass in his hand and said in a cold tone, “Do you have to quarrel with me
because of an unimportant
maller?”
Cordelia was choked by his words and immediately didn’t know
what to say.
Since Elijah didn’t admit that he did it out of personal reasons, she couldn’t do anything.
Just when she was thinking, Elijah had already walked up to her and said, “Would you like a glass of
wine?”
“I came by car,” Cordelia refused.
Elijah smiled lightly, approached her delicate face, and said admiringly, “Then don’t leave.”
As he spoke, he raised his head, took a sip of the wine, and suddenly kissed her lips when Cordelia
was unprepared.
