Chapter 190


    The boy walked out of the gates of Lumos Enterprises, with a car waiting for him in the corner.


    Deanna had specifically hailed a cab instead of driving her own private car. Samantha and Deanna


    were sitting side by side in the back seat. "So, how''d it go?" Deanna asked the little boy, filled with


    anticipation and nerves.


    "I said everything you told me to," the boy replied.


    "And how did they react?" Samantha was even more eager to know what Ronan''s reaction would be


    upon learning that his wife was the daughter of a dy of the night.''


    "The woman was crying the whole time, and the man looked pretty pissed." The boy replied after some


    thought.


    Deanna and Samantha were over the moon.


    “Are you still going to give me the money you promised?" the boy asked Deanna.


    Deanna pulled out twenty bucks from her pocket and handed it to the boy.


    "Since their marriage was just a show for Barney, let''s go find Barney now," Deanna said, ncing at


    her watch.


    Even though she had Cordelia and Ronan’s schedules, she didn''t know what they did after work. They


    always left an hourte every day. Now it was five forty, and they would probably have to wait a while


    longer before leaving.


    Deanna immediately directed the driver to head to Pearl Palms. Barney was the only one at home


    having dinner. Samantha didn''t get out of the car. She waited in the car, worried that Cordelia would


    find out she was now in cahoots with Deanna.


    "Barney, where are Ronan and Cordelia?" Deanna asked.


    "Oh, Ronan just called to say that he and Cordelia went out for a meal." Barney replied nonchntly.


    "Just hang out at home and wait for them."


    Deanna then took a seat on the couch and started chatting with Barney.


    "Barney, I just went to Lumos Enterprises, but Ronan wasn''t there, so I left. I overheard some people at


    Lumos Enterprises talking, and they were saying..." Deanna deliberately paused, seeming to find it


    hard to go on.


    "Eh, what''s up? Just spit it out. I''m no stranger," Barney said kindly.


    After Barney finished his meal, he sat down on the couch. He also sent a message to Ronan, [When


    are youing back? Deanna''s here.]


    Ronan replied, [Soon.]


    [How soon?]


    [Twenty minutes.]


    "Today at thepany, I heard the reception staff discussing that Cordelia is not her parents'' biological


    daughter, she''s like a foundling. You know about Ronan''s cornea transnt, right? At first, I thought it


    was my dad''s cornea that was given to Ronan, butter found out it wasn''t, it was Cordelia''s dad.

    Ronan''s with Cordelia, maybe because of this gratitude, but now, this rtionship doesn''t exist


    anymore. I heard Cordelia''s mom was ady of the night, Barney, you''re from a distinguished family.


    Don''t let this affect your reputation." Deanna said carefully, watching Barney''s face.


    "Ronan had a cornea transnt?" Barney asked Deanna. "When did this happen?"


    Deanna was taken aback. "Barney, you didn''t know?"


    "No."


    Deanna felt a bit nervous, worrying that the news she just told Barney was too shocking, especially


    since Barney didn''t even know about Ronan''s previous loss of sight.


    Barney was silent for a long time, trying to calm down, then said to Deanna, "What did you just say


    about Cordelia..."


    "I heard Cordelia''s mom has a bit of a sketchy past. I''m worried this could threaten the reputation of the


    Evans family."


    Just then, the sound of a car parking came from outside. Barney''s face suddenly turned pale and he


    clutched his chest. "Janice, bring me my heart medication quickly."


    Barney''s heart condition had always been bad.


    Seeing this, Janice immediately brought Barney his heart medication. Deanna felt guilty, why would


    Barney suddenly have a heart attack at this time? Was it because of Cordelia''s origin, or her


    She wanted to leave, but Ronan and Cordelia had already entered the house.


    "Barney, what''s wrong?" Ronan and Cordelia asked simultaneously.


    Barneyy on the couch, pointing at Deanna. "She just said Cordelia''s biological mother is ady of the


    night. I was so angry..."


    "I..." Deanna suddenly felt unable to defend herself. She had always thought Barney was a kind old


    man, so why was he suddenly using her?


    "What?" Ronan''s stern gaze was fixed on Deanna.


    "I didn''t!"


    Ronan told Cordelia to support Barney and asked Janice to call the doctor. Then he pped Deanna


    across the face.


    The p was loud. Cordelia, who was supporting Barney, was startled by the sound and trembled. She


    never thought Ronan would hit someone, especially a woman!
