Chapter 56
After Ronan vented his rage on Cordelia following his rant, she woke up battered and bruised.
Cordelia was pissed. She didn''t believe she was at fault, but that Ronan was too quick to believe
Deanna''s words.
When she got up, she didn''t utter a word to Ronan but packed a big shopping bag with some of her
clothes and even sneakily took the marriage certificate.
She decided she wouldn''t being home that night.
Then, she hailed a cab to the hospital, not letting Ronan y the chauffeur.
In the hospital corridor, she ran into Deanna again, who was still on filming.
Cordelia just stood there.
Deanna could tell Cordelia wasn''t having a good day but wasn''t sure if it had something to do with
Ronan.
After all, she had spilled the beans to Ronan on Monday, so if he was going to blow his top, he should
have done so by now.
"Ms. Deanna, I can speak for myself, no need for you to y the messenger. I know you''ve got a thing
for him, maybe one day, I''ll happily hand him over to you." With that, Cordelia walked away, leaving a
bunch of bewildered onlookers.
Being seen as ady of grace and poise, Deanna had to cover for Cordelia, "That''s my sister, she''s a
bit hot-headed, sorry for the drama, let''s get back to shooting the next scene."
Deanna watched as Cordelia entered a patient''s room with a cold stare.
She had seen the room Cordelia''s mom was in before, the patient''s name on the medical card read:
Shelley.
Deanna remembered the name.
...
Cordelia decided to stay in her mom''s ward for the day and head back to her dorm room the next day.
Her mom had a private room with an extra bed forpanions, so she could chat with Trina and
wouldn''t feel lonely.
Deanna sent Ronan a message on Messenger, "What''s up with your wife today? She came to the
hospital asking what I had told you and even mentioned divorcing you and handing over you to me.
Everyone there wasughing at me, so I had to say she''s my sister."
Sitting on his couch at home, Ronan''s face icy when he saw the message, a vein in his temple
noticeably throbbed.
He told his grandpa that Cordelia wouldn''t being home that night, because she had to care for her
ailing mother in case her condition suddenly worsened.
His grandpa was understanding, "That''s understandable, a nurse can''t solve all problems."
But Ronan''s mind was elsewhere.
On Monday, as soon as Cordelia started work, her phone began to ring.
"Come here." It was Ronan''s voice.
Cordelia was still pissed at Ronan.
He wanted her toe over, but she defied him, especially since Mondays were always busy.
After waiting for a while without seeing Cordelia, Ronan decided to call Jordan.
"Get Cordelia to my office."
Jordan felt a chill run down his spine, he knew Mr. Evans only asked him because he couldn''t get her
himself. If Jordan couldn''t get her either, it would be his fault.

"Cordelia, Mr. Evans wants you in his office." Jordan cautiously said to Cordelia.
"I''m working on this ount." Cordelia was fully focused on theplex ount in front of her.
Jordan felt headache, and he called Ronan to tell him Cordelia was busy with an ount.
Ronan took a deep breath, trying to control his temper, "Tell her, if she doesn''te, she won''t get the
money!"
Jordan didn''t understand, he thought it was a joke.
As the Chief Financial Officer, he was unexpectedly ying messenger on a Monday morning.
He ryed the message to Cordelia, who was clearly taken aback. She marked the ount she was
working on and headed to Ronan''s office.
Cordelia knew that the "money" Ronan referred to was the agreed-upon bnce payment of $500,000.
She had put in so much effort. She couldn''t just give up now, could she?
Buying aputer didn''t put a dent in her pocket, she wasn''t short on cash now, but she wasn''t willing
to let go!
After all, the $500,000 was agreed upon beforehand.
She knocked on the door of Ronan''s office.
