Chapter 406 Cordelia Shouldn''t Have Come Today
Cordelia withdrew her gaze and then followed Eason to take their seats.
At this time, Daisy came over and toasted Cordelia and Eason.
"Congrattions to both of you. You''re truly a well-matched pair."
When she said this, many people looked in their direction.
For a moment, many people seemed to acquiesce in the rtionship between Cordelia and Eason.
Cordelia looked at Daisy and asked, "Miss Kingsley, did youe alone? Haven''t you won Elijah''s
heart?"
Daisy was taken aback momentarily, and then her face blushed red. "Oh dear, those rumors are
unreliable. Cordelia, you''d better watch your words."
"The condition is that you also watch your words here," Cordelia smirked faintly and stared at her.
Eason spoke immediately, "Cordelia and I are partners in cooperation andrades in arms. Please
be more mindful of your words in the future, Miss Kingsley."
Upon hearing Eason address her as "Miss Kingsley," Daisy was nearly fuming.
She thought, ''Why are you pretending like this? You do know me, don''t you? Our families had dinner
together just yesterday!''
At this time, the charity auction began.
Daisy took the opportunity to leave quickly, sparing herself from the awkward situation.
Cordelia''s gaze remained indifferent from the beginning to the end as if she hardly regarded her with
any significance.
Eason asked Cordelia in a low voice, "Are you okay, Cordelia?"
Cordelia smiled at him. "I''m okay, Eason."
At this moment, Ben, sitting not far away, bumped Elijah with his shoulder and said, "Can you tolerate
this? She didn''te with you but with another guy."
"It is none of my business. We no longer have any connection," Elijah said indifferently, his tone full of
disdain.

At this time, Daisy came over. "Elijah, can I sit next to you?"
Seeing this, Ben prepared to stand up and give his seat to Daisy.
However, Elijah said, "You can''t."
Daisy immediately looked aggrieved.
After Daisy left, Ben said lightly, "Didn''t you two grow up together? Why did you make her
embarrassed?"
Elijah replied without much expression, "I''ve always disliked women who are after my wealth."
Ben''s mouth twitched, giving Elijah a middle finger with an indifferent expression.
Suddenly, Eason ced a bid.
Elijah then became interested and nced at the lot on the stage. It was a set of sapphire nes
called the "Contemporary Ocean Heart."
He noticed Cordelia whispering something to Eason at his ear, and his eyes darkened. He raised the
bidding card in his hand and joined the bidding war.
Just as he joined the bidding, Eason and Cordelia turned their attention to him.
Elijah remained cold and indifferent. His gaze fixed on the stage host without even ncing at the two
of them.
Eason whispered to Cordelia, "Should wepete with him?"
"Forget it and let him have it. We can bid on something more suitableter," said Cordelia helplessly.
However, Elijah would join in all the bids that Eason had participated in, which made Cordelia quite
displeased with his immaturity.
It was clear that he was doing it deliberately.
"I shouldn''t havee today," Cordelia frowned.
"It''s okay, Cordelia. If you don''t want topete, we won''t," Easonforted her with a faint smile.
If one were topare, Elijah seemed more domineering, wanting to take everything away from his
brother.
Anyone who knew about the affairs of the Hansen family could sense the underlying tensions between
Eason and Elijah tonight.
Later, Cordelia found it pointless to continue like this and decided to leave the banquet hall.
"Cordelia, where are you going?" Eason tugged at her arm.
Cordelia smiled lightly and said, "I''m going out for a walk. I''m a little bored."
"I''ll apany you!" With that said, they left the banquet hall together.
