Chapter 466


    Birchwood.


    A significant event had recently urred at the local school.


    Acimed actress na had donated a building to the school.


    Knowing that na came to Birchwood, Cordelia felt uneasy. She hadn''t expected na''s influence to


    spread so quickly.


    na''s father was a British nobleman, a tidbit Cordelia had discovered in her research. She had


    looked into na''s background, in books and online, but information about such a historic family was


    scarce and shrouded in mystery. Most of the online articles were unreliable hearsay.


    While she had been in Ennd, she''d heard rumors about her father, "August," retiring from the film


    industry. She had even tried to attend the event, but it was an exclusive affair, attended only by major


    media outlets.


    Throughout it all, Cordelia was trying to unravel one mystery: why was na constantly targeting her?


    Cordelia knew that na was to be avoided. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have abandoned her child for


    three years, even refusing to let the child call her mother despite being within her sight.


    On the day of the donation, na was waiting outside Cordelia''s home. When Cordelia saw her, a chill


    ran down her spine. Cordelia couldn’t even keep where she worked and lived a secret from na.


    "Well, Ms. Haselwood, aren''t you going to invite me in?" na said.


    Cordelia opened the door.


    Once inside, na looked around like a typical guest. "Not bad, Ms. Haselwood. Quite cozy for a


    single person," shemented.


    "Please, sit," Cordelia said, not wanting to be too hospitable, yet her manners dictated otherwise.


    "Do you know that Deanna is dead, killed by Tabitha? Do you know who''s behind it all?" na asked.


    "I don''t know, nor do I care about the affairs of the Millstones." Cordelia said, her face as cold as ice.


    She knew Deanna had been killed by Tabitha, and she had a hunch it was rted to Ronan, but she


    couldn''t figure out what had happened behind the scenes.


    na sensed the curiosity hidden behind Cordelia''s purported indifference. And who was Cordelia


    curious about? Ronan, of course. It was clear that Cordelia was in love with him.


    Since Cordelia loved him, na was determined to separate them. She wanted Cordelia to taste the


    bitterness of lost love.


    "At first, Ronan had Deanna deliver some children''s clothes and food to Tabitha. He knew Deanna''s


    character and used it to his advantage. You could say the tragedy between Deanna and Tabitha was


    deliberately orchestrated by him. Deanna got wind of Ronan''s affair with Tabitha and naturally assumed


    Tabitha''s child was his. Deanna, being so impulsive, confronted Tabitha. An argument ensued, and in


    the heat of the moment, Tabitha stabbed Deanna to protect her child.


    “After being taken to the hospital, Deanna wasn''t immediately in danger of dying. Her mother, Le,


    went to Ronan for help with the medical bills. Ronan told her to sell her house first and he would cover


    the rest if necessary. That night, Deanna’s oxygen mask was removed. Le suspected that Ronan


    was behind it but was too afraid to confront him. If he could kill a person just to avoid paying medical


    bills, what wouldn''t he do?”


    "Did the police find out if it was Ronan who killed her?" Cordelia asked, her skin crawling. She didn''t


    believe Ronan would do something as tant as removing Deanna’s oxygen mask. He was too


    cunning to leave such evidence. However, the idea that he would intentionally pit two women against

    each other was very much in line with his character.


    “Investigations are ongoing, but it’s only a matter of time," na replied.
