Cordelia believed that if Rebecca approved, Alistair would definitely come around. Even if he got married again, it wouldn't

concern her.

In her mind, their family was wealthy, Rebecca was perfect, and Alistair would come running back at the slightest beckoning.

Cordelia's inflated sense of self-importance stemmed from her

complete misunderstanding of Alistair.
