Chapter 437 Get a Grip
"Regardless of Ben's illness, I still sincerely thank you for him, Miss Carter." After speaking, Elijah
pressed his chest with one hand and gave a gentleman's nod.
Only then did Cordelia smile and say, "You're welcome. After all, I'm still at the primary stage in the field
of psychiatry, so I can't help you much."
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
When Elijah came to the door, he saw the person standing outside the door through the videophone,
and he pinched his brows with a headache.
"Why are you here?" Elijah asked seriously when he opened the door.
"Hi, Elijah, I brought some fresh ingredients. Let's cook dinner together tonight!" The girl's sweet voice Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
came from the door.
At the same time, Cordelia noticed that Elijah had a guest at his door, so she picked up her bag and
prepared to leave.
Elijah ignored Kelly, who was standing at the door and looked at Cordelia, who came out.
"You're leaving?"
"Well, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you," Cordelia said while changing her shoes.
Cordelia was already tall, to begin with, but when she put on high heels, it made Kelly look like a dwarf
in comparison.
Elijah quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Stay for dinner."
His eyes were sincere, and there was a little reluctance in his tone.
Cordelia shook her head and firmly rejected him.
At this moment, Kelly suddenly stepped forward and hugged Elijah's arm. "Elijah, since this lady
doesn't want to stay for dinner, why do you have to force her against her wishes?"
Cordelia squinted, knowing that Kelly was doing that on purpose.
This girl's scheming personality was written all over her face, and since Elijah could tolerate her, it
proved that she had something to rely on.
As he spoke, Elijah shoved Kelly away unceremoniously. "Kelly, you should respect her. Also, don't
touch me in the future, and next time, even if Ben is here, he won't be able to protect you."
A little dizzy after being pushed away by Elijah, Kelly's expression suddenly became aggrieved.
Cordelia raised her eyebrows and asked, "So you're Ben's cousin, the starlet?"
"What starlet? I'm a superstar," Kelly said, feeling unconvinced.
Cordelia chuckled and said, "Okay, superstar. A superstar who has never been cast as the female
lead."
After speaking, Cordelia turned around to leave as she could not be bothered to spout nonsense with
her.
There was a very low threshold in the current entertainment industry. Anybody could appear in film and
television dramas as long as they had the capital to be groomed.
Kelly became a B-lister by relying on Ben.
However, seeing how naive Kelly was, Cordelia thought that she must have used all her luck to
become a B-lister.
"Hey, who said I can't become the female lead? I'm going to be the female lead soon!" Kelly yelled at
Cordelia's back as she chased her to the door, completely unconvinced.
Cordelia got into the car and drove away without even looking at her again.
Kelly felt the bag of food ingredients being thrown at her from behind, after which the door was closed
with a loud bang.
"Hey, Elijah, open the door! What do you mean by this?" Kelly exclaimed anxiously while slamming the
door panel.
However, no one paid attention to her anymore...
Cordelia visited Milo and had dinner with him before returning to the Maple Villa, where she collapsed
on the sofa.
She didn't feel tired until this moment.
After replying to Imogen, she made a video call soon after.
Imogen said in high spirits, "Cordelia, why did you suddenly return to Beilve City? Could it be that Ben
is terminally ill?"
Cordelia looked at the screen with a smile and said, "If you want to ask about him, just say so. Why are
you beating around the bush?"
"I want to know what that jerk is doing," Imogen said with a nonchalant expression.
Hence, Cordelia perked up as she sat up and said solemnly, "Imogen, I'm going to tell you something
now. You must get a grip on yourself! Ben... His problem is very serious."
Imogen's expression froze, and her body stiffened immediately.
