Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 152

Paulina’s expression darkened when she caught sight of Cordelia.

She could still remember the last time she visited the school, it was Cordelia who had whisked Merry away. After that, Merry had run away from home, and gotten into all sorts of trouble. Paulina’s face was a storm. cloud of disapproval as she said, “It has nothing to do with you.”

With that she spun on her heel and left.

But Cordelia couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. She pulled out her phone and messaged “Little Parrot” on WhatsApp, but got no reply.

Cordelia had to return to class. At lunch, the usually chatty girl who sat next to her wasn’t there, leaving her feeling oddly out of sorts.

She got her tray from the cafeteria and found a spot to sit alone, checking her phone again to see that “Little Parrot” still hadn’t responded.

Finally, she tried calling, but despite the phone not being switched off, no one picked up.

At the Jordan residence.

Paulina had just finished processing Merry’s transfer papers and returned home, where the butler promptly greeted her.

Paulina asked, “Is she still being stubborn?”

The butler nodded.

Since being forcibly brought back home last night, Merry had holed up in her room, pounding on the door until her voice went hoarse, then just slumped to the floor in silence.

Paulina sighed. She’d spent a sleepless night worrying, her eyes red and puffy. Now, listless, she climbed the stairs and opened the door to Merry’s room.

Merry, exhausted from struggling, was curled up in a corner on the floor. At the sound of the door, she lifted her head and pleaded, “Mom, just let me go.”

Paulina’s heart hardened as she spoke, “Let you go, so you can continue live streaming? Peddling your laughter for cash? Merry, I’m your mother. I’ve offered you money, yet you insist on making a spectacle of yourself. Do you really want to break my heart?”

Merry looked at her blankly.

Break her heart? The words seemed like a cruel joke.
