Chapter 467


    Cordelia thought to herself, “na really has her fingers on the pulse of things. It''s as if she''s been


    there.”


    “Who is the father of Tabitha’s child?” Cordelia asked again.


    “Tabitha’s child is her brother’s. He had kidney disease and is now deceased. Jayson is the only heir in


    her family, so naturally Tabitha had to protect him.” na spoke candidly.


    Ronan already knew the truth about this matter. Given time, Cordelia would also know. There was no


    use in deceiving her. Moreover, if na lied about this, Cordelia would start to doubt her words and


    wouldn’t believe what she had said before.


    To make Cordelia believe that Ronan was ruthless and always on the brink of criminality, na spoke


    the truth this time.


    Cordelia clenched her fists, suddenly feeling very frightened. What kind of man was her ex-husband,


    considering what happened with her mother, Deanna, and Tabitha?


    “Ms. Haselwood, when beauty fades, love races away. Think about how he will treat you one day when


    you''re old and he has a new me. After all, even eighty-year-old men fancy twenty-something women.


    Think about your mother,” na said.


    Cordelia remained silent. She hadn’t thought about these things.


    “Ms. Haselwood, aren’t you curious about how I know everything?”


    na was indeed scarier than Cordelia had imagined. “But why are you targeting me?” Cordelia finally


    asked what she had been pondering.


    “Your biological mother, Allison, was my…”


    “Stop,” Cordelia waved her off, “You think I’d believe that? My mother, the way she is?” Allison had not


    called Cordelia once in the past three years, and offered no words of concern.


    “Whether you believe it or not, it''s the truth. So,” na stood up, pinched Cordelia''s chin, and


    scrutinized her, “you really do look just like her.”


    “Who?” asked Cordelia.


    “Allison, don’t you see it?” na said, “She stole my man back then, and now, it''s your turn. Watch


    your steps, or you might find your son Callum in a river one day. Look—”


    She pulled out her phone and showed Cordelia photos of Callum. He was ying in the sand, having a


    water gun fight with his friends, eating... A shiver ran down Cordelia’s spine.


    “And, once you''re with Ronan, your secret affair won’t remain a secret. Cordelia, you''ll be alone for the


    rest of your life.” na showed her more photos. Cordelia''s brows furrowed. She was horrified not by


    the threat of na showing these photos to Ronan, but by the means through which na had


    obtained them.


    “Cordelia, did you think your three years in Ennd were simply stagnant? No, your life was colorful


    because of a man named Eason. The two of you…” na swiped through the photos. In the photos,


    Cordelia was lying on the treatment bed, Eason in a white coat sitting next to her, watching her fall


    asleep. Eason gave Cordelia a teddy bear, which she adored. He found books she couldn’t get hold of,

    and she was over the moon. Cordelia was crying in Eason’s arms.


    These were mostly taken in Eason''s clinic, where outsiders had no ess. Yet, na had found out.


    “Ms. Haselwood, you really are a charmingdy, attracting gentlemen left and right. You have quite a


    line-up. Well, I''ll be going now.” With that, na left. Her movements were graceful and elegant,


    belying her malicious intentions.


    Just as the room fell into a chilling silence, Cordelia’s phone rang. Suddenly feeling reckless, Cordelia


    thought: Since na already knew everything she had done, why not just throw caution to the wind?


    She decided to openly acknowledge Callum, act as she wished, and stop tiptoeing around.


    She was all in.
