Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 84

It was a rare occasion when the whole family was in the Delaney Manor. Steward and Laurinda lounged on the sofa while Rachel and Juliana flanked a stranger whose chuckles filled the air. His round, Jovial face bore some of a businessman’s cunning and a vague resemblance to Sanderson, Indicating he must be Cordelia’s Uncle

Kermit.

Cordelia entered the living room with Lorna, making her way to Sanderson, who exuded an aura of sophistication in his suit, the top button undone to reveal a crisp waistcoat beneath.

Silently, Cordelia compared Sanderson to Uncle Kermit.

Sanderson had an air of polished erudition, more like a highly educated professional than a mere merchant. And Kermit seemed to embody the quintessential trader, sophisticated, adaptable, but perhaps a bit too slick for the grand ambitions of the Delaney legacy.

From appearances alone, Sanderson had the edge.

Sanderson broke the silence when Cordelia sat down, hugging her schoolbag tightly. “Lia, this concerns you. I’ve been waiting for you to come home.”

Cordelia nodded.

Unable to contain herself, Laurinda huffed, “Fine, you’ve gathered all family members here as if it’s some grand Inquisition. Can we get on with it now?”

Steward furrowed his brows, sensing something amiss.

Indeed, Sanderson laid out the evidence he’d gathered on the table. “I thought someone was targeting the Delaney family through something Lia did but had never expected this. Rachel, what has Lia ever done to you that you’d frame her?”

The room fell into stunned silence.

Laurinda was the first to retort. “Sanderson, have you lost your mind? How could Rachel do such a thing?”

Kermit interrupted, “Sanderson, you must make a mistake. Rachel couldn’t have.”

Juliana glanced at Rachel guiltily, too anxious to speak.
