Chapter 119 Meeting Elissa
Cordelia frowned, glanced in that direction, and suggested, "How about we go to another place to shop
first?"
"What's there to be afraid of? She's just a wretch from a fallen family now," Imogen scoffed.
Cordelia blinked, realizing that a lot must have happened recently that she wasn't aware of.
"I heard from Ben that your husband is quite ruthless. Lately, he's caused heavy losses to Elissa's
family," Imogen said with a smile.
"Oh? Then what about Ben?" Cordelia asked curiously.
"Him? What can he do? On one side, there's his buddy, whom he can't afford to offend, and on the
other, there's the unattainable woman he pines for. Caught in a dilemma, he might as well just play
dead!"
Imogen said, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
At that moment, Elissa noticed them from a distance and immediately set down the items she held,
walking over to them.
"Mrs. Hansen, I heard you're pregnant. Congratulations." Elissa's smile was enchanting, but her eyes
carried a hint of disdain.
"Thank you," Cordelia replied, handing the selected baby clothes to a nearby attendant. "I'll go check
out now. Excuse me."
As Cordelia was still paying, a quarrel erupted between Imogen and Elissa.
"You wretch, what else can you do besides pestering Ben? Take a good look at yourself. The ugly is
always the most malicious!" Elissa said arrogantly.
Imogen, on the other hand, wore a mocking smile. "Miss Flores, it seems you have a hormonal
imbalance lately, aren't you? Of course, Ben stays in my bed every night. No matter how much you call
him, he won't leave. It must be unpleasant to be alone in an empty room, right?"
Cordelia approached, listening to their intense exchange, and couldn't help but frown.
At this rate, they would likely come to blows again.
As expected, Elissa swiftly and accurately slapped Imogen across the face.
"Stop it!"
Seeing Elissa's hand about to deliver a second slap to Imogen, Cordelia stepped forward and grabbed
her wrist.
Imogen was acting strangely today. She didn't retaliate and instead hid behind Cordelia, pretending to
be innocent. "Cordelia, Elissa's just too arrogant. She's going too far."
Cordelia turned her head and gave her a warning look, implying that Imogen was overacting.
Imogen immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.
At this point, no elegance or allure was left on Elissa's face.
She glared at Cordelia grimly and said, "Mrs. Hansen, are you protecting that bitch and opposing me?"
Cordelia coldly shrugged off Elissa's hand and said, "Miss Flores, I've never been one to use violence
to solve problems. You've gone too far!"
"Huh? Too far? Speaking of going too far, isn't your husband who's gone too far? What do you and your
husband want to do to my family?" Elissa glared at Cordelia.
"You're getting off track here. If you want answers, why not ask Elijah? You two are childhood friends
and know each other well, right?" Cordelia countered, speaking in a calm tone.
"Cut the act. You're protecting Imogen. I won't believe that you haven't whispered in Elijah's ear for a This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
second. Nobody in their right mind would buy that!" With her words, Elissa angrily lunged at Cordelia.
Cordelia immediately pushed Imogen aside, swiftly dodged, and grabbed Elissa's shoulder and one
arm, executing a throw that sent her crashing to the ground.
The entire mall seemed to shake from the impact.
Elissa lay there in pain, unable to move, howling and glaring at Cordelia with malice.
"I don't resort to violence to solve problems."
Cordelia looked down at the disheveled Elissa on the floor and calmly continued, "But when it comes to
dealing with animals, it's a different story."
