Chapter 91 Elijah’s Trick
Cordelia sneered, “Verbal agreements really can’t be relied upon. It’s fine. I’ll find another solution for
the funding issue.”
“No need. I’ve already mobilized funds from Hond Group. It is in the process and won’t take too
long,” Eason said.
Cordelia quickly shook her head. “No, Eason. Don’t you remember what we agreed on before?”
At that moment, Elijah approached. Without hesitation, he put his arm around Cordelia’s waist and
said, “If you encounter any difficulties, you can talk to me.”
Cordelia immediately jumped away as if she had been scalded. She looked at Elijah with her eyes filled
with vignce. “We’re about to get divorced. Don’t touch me.”
Elijah’s gaze turned visibly cold in an instant.
Cordelia had made him lose face in front of another man, especially when that man was Eason.
He whispered in Cordelia’s car, “I assume you wouldn’t want me to withdraw the divorce application
tomorrow. If I were you, I’d keep up the act for at least another month. Yet here you are, rushing
towards another man? Cordelia, you’re too impatient.”
After saying that, Elijah turned his gaze towards Eason. “Mr.
Hond, Cordelia and I have some matters to discuss, so we won’t invite you inside.”
Eason raised an eyebrow. His sharp gaze was capable of seeing through everything.
With the deration, Elijah dragged Cordelia toward her apartment.
“Eason, I’ll find a solution for the funding issue. Don’t worry about it,” Cordelia finally turned to Eason

and said.
Eason waved her off, ignoring their pretend marriage game. He got into his car and drove away.
Elijah had pulled Cordelia back into her apartment. Amidst her astonished gaze, he confidently entered
as if he owned the ce.
“Elijah, this is not funny.”
Elijah sat down on the sofa without hesitation and said coldly, “If I didn’te up, the oneing up
would be Eason, right?”
Cordelia didn’t say anything. She knew he wouldn’t believe her no matter what she said, and it would
lead to another argument.
But she was clear with one thing in her heart. This was her sanctuary, and she wouldn’t easily bring a
man here.
“Eason isn’t someone you can manipte. Obviously, he has feelings for you, but he’s skilled at
pretending…”
“Enough!” Cordelia suddenly raised her voice. “Elijah, I’m not interested in hearing your spections.
Since you came here, let’s talk.”
Elijah stared at Cordelia and said, “Okay. What do you want to talk about?”
“Why the sudden withdrawal of funding?” Cordelia asked.
“I didn’t withdraw it,” Elijah answered candidly.
Cordelia also thought that Elijah wasn’t the type of person to be so petty, but the timing of this incident
was just too coincidental, and she was furious now.
“It seems like you’re not doing as well in Hansen Group as it appears on the surface,” Cordelia
mocked.
Elijah chuckled, “If you’re curious about it, I can give you a firsthand experience.”
Cordelia knew when to stop. She steered the conversation back to the main topic. “Since we’re already
in the process of getting a divorce, it would be better to sign an agreement for the funding issue
formally. Otherwise, yourpany’s constant interruptions to our research institute’s funding might also
tarnish the reputation of Hansen Group.”
Elijah nodded. “Okay. I’ll have the legal department draft the agreement tomorrow and bring it to you in
the evening.”
As he spoke, he began to unbutton his tie.
Cordelia raised an eyebrow. “What are you doing?”
“I’m tired. I’ll stay here tonight. It’s closer to thepany for tomorrow morning.” As Elijah talked, he
had already removed his shirt, revealing his well-built chest and abdominal muscles.
Cordelia immediately became anxious. “Elijah, don’t go too far. Do you think I’m joking when I want
your divorce?”
Elijah’s gaze turned sharp in an instant. He stood up, walking toward her.
