Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 127

Cordelia stood frozen, a flicker of disbelief crossing her face as she clutched her phone, staring at the six digital tickets on the screen. A thought raced through her mind were these really worth $50,0007

She wandered into the living room, where a few people turned their heads in unison towards her.

Laurinda snorted through her nose, making no move to greet her

Steward, on the other hand, smiled warmly. “Hey Lia, how was school today? Tiring?”

Cordelia didn’t intend to engage with her grandmother or Rachel, but she couldn’t ignore her granddad’s friendly inquiry.

She shook her head. “Not really.”

Having said that, she dropped her by the couch and took a seat next to Lorna.

continued, addressing Lorna, “Lorna, help us out, will you? Here’s the ticket.”

With that, she tried to press the ticket into Lorna’s hand, but Lorna pushed it back, steadfast in her refusal. “Really, I can’t. Lia and Everard are just dating; it wouldn’t be right to make Everard bow his head.”

Seeing Lorna’s resistance, Rachel turned to Cordelia. “Lia, what do you think? Your mom would love this art show. If you could just swallow your pride a bit and get Calvert to add Juliana on Facebook, I will give her the ticket! You’re such a good daughter, surely you wouldn’t want to disappoint your mom, right?”

Lorna frowned. “Rachel, don’t talk nonsense. I’m not interested in the art show!”

As she attempted to give the ticket back to Rachel, Cordelia’s leisurely voice chimed in, “Is this ticket really worth 5 grand?”

Lorna blinked in surprise.

Rachel’s face lit up. “Yes, and you can’t just buy them, you need connections. I knew you’d care about your mom. She’s just being stubborn because she doesn’t want to put you on the spot. Isn’t it worth just a little pride to make her happy?”

Cordelia let out a nonchalant “Oh,” then turned to Lorna, “Mom,
