Wake Up! You’re My Ex Now (Cordelia) novel Chapter 123

The constant morning sickness made Cordelia feel mentally drained all day, and she became forgetful.

"I knew you'd forget. But there's a secret I haven't told you yet. The male lead for tonight's performance is Ivan Veblen!"

Ivan was a legend in the world of dance, having long since become a studio owner. He was Imogen's idol.

"Alright then. I'll witness your dream-come-true moment tonight and remind you to wipe away any drool," Cordelia half-jokingly replied.

After a bit more laughter and conversation, Imogen suddenly turned serious. "Cordelia, you know what? Elissa's family company has gone bankrupt!"

"Really? Didn't Ben try to help salvage their family business? Maybe he could have even moved Elissa to offer herself as a sacrifice!" Cordelia retorted with sarcasm, though she wasn't surprised.

Elijah was a person who sought revenge for even the slightest wrong.

However, Cordelia had initially thought that Elijah had just wanted to teach Elissa a lesson, but it seemed he had taken more drastic measures.

Yet, Imogen's response was full of meaning. "Cordelia, you don't understand."

"What?"

"Ben would love it if Elissa lost everything. That way, she'd have no choice but to cling to him tightly," Imogen explained.

"I see."

Cordelia knew that Ben was quite viperous.

"What about you, Imogen? If they... What are your plans for the future?" Cordelia asked with concern.

"I've already talked to Mr. Veblen. I'm planning to sign with his dance troupe and develop my career in Tarssa City," Imogen replied casually.

This sudden news took Cordelia aback.

Nonetheless, she was genuinely happy for Imogen's newfound freedom.

She would have a bright future!

At dusk, Elijah returned home quite early.

Cordelia was lounging on the couch reading a book when she saw Elijah coming in with an elegant handbag from a certain brand. Her expression stiffened.

She had already felt uncomfortable, and now her anger was getting harder to contain.

As Cordelia was planning to go out to watch Imogen's performance later in the evening, she went upstairs to change her clothes and get ready. The time was almost right.

However, as she was about to leave, Elijah walked out of the dining room. "Aren't you eating? Where are you going?"

"I don't have an appetite, so I'm skipping dinner. I'm heading to the theater," Cordelia replied without even glancing at him, busy changing her shoes.

Seeing that she was really about to leave, Elijah immediately shouted, "Cordelia, stop right there!"

Cordelia glanced at the time, then turned around impatiently. "What's wrong?"

Elijah took a swift step forward and pressed her against the door.

"Cordelia, do you really think I can't do anything about you?"

Cordelia's beautiful eyes contracted as she looked at him.

Elijah nibbled at her neck!
