Chapter 398

Chapter 398 All Single

In response to Ben's angry statement, Elijah told him that he must bear

the consequences of his own actions.

Although Cordelia still broke up with him, he was still proud that

Cordelia believed in him without hesitation when he explained the

matter.

Suddenly, Ben turned to look at Elijah, and when he saw his expression,

he immediately sneered, "What can you be proud of? Whether your

woman believed in you or not, she still left you. What is the difference

between you and me?"

Ben wanted to mock him that at least Imogen was still pregnant with

his child.

However, when he thought of Cordelia’s physical condition, he held

back, fearing that Elijah would be sad to think of the past.

He was just a bad friend, not an enemy, and he would not reveal Elijah's

scar in the heart.

Elijah raised his wine glass and clinked Ben's wine glass placed on the

table. "I will win Cordelia's heart back again.”

"How many times have you pursued her? Do you still want to do it? So

what if you win her again? Will she still break up with you?" Ben said

disdainfully.

Elijah chuckled, staring at a certain place in the void, and his gaze

became gentle.

"Because she deserves it."

She deserved him to put down his dignity to pursue her.

Ben stared at Elijah, waved his hand, and said, "Stop it. I can't stand you.

You're so cheesy."

Elijah withdrew his thoughts, looked at Ben, and said, "You should find

out the reason yourself. Since you like the girl, don't always hold

yourself up and act superior. Women need to be coaxed.”

Ben looked casually at the surface, but he was thinking about Elijah's

words in his heart.

He knew the fact. When he coaxed Imogen patiently, she behaved like a

kitten, gentle and adorable. The more he looked at her, the more he

couldn't help but adore her.

But Imogen was making a big fuss this time because a little sign of

disturbance angered him.

"Just leave her alone for a few days. I may have spoiled her too much,

making her think she is high and mighty," Ben said indifferently.

Elijah didn't care about them. Let alone they did whatever they wanted.

He could now not fend for himself, so he had no interest in meddling in

their business.

Besides, best friends needed to suffer heartbroken together.

When Cordelia reached home, she felt exhausted. After taking a

shower, she called Imogen and shared with her what happened at the

banquet.

Listening to Imogen’s voice, she became more energetic and was happy

to hear the gossip.

"Oh, my goodness! This old, shameless man actually started to covet

my Cordelia again. Why doesn't he just go and steal another family

girl?"

Cordelia couldn't stop laughing when she heard Imogen's mockery and

said, "I really admire him. He even asked Eason to invite Mr. Carter and

me and talked about the marriage with their family back then.”

Imogen suddenly took a deep breath and said, "How dare him! He

wants you to marry into their family again. Oh my, this old cunning fox

has a good plan!”

"He wants Eason to marry you to force Elijah to give up on you. Then,

he will let Elijah marry someone else to stabilize the status of Hansen

Group in Beilve City. Tsk! He is really scheming.”

Cordelia was stunned. Indeed.

She never thought about having any special relationship with Eason, so

she didn't think so much.

Now, according to what Imogen said, it seemed that Gideon wanted to

regain control over Elijah through her.

So, everything was temporary, and in Gideon's heart, his favorite

successor as head of the family was still Elijah.
