Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 264

Hayley, in her dramatic fashion, grabbed Cordelia's hand, ready to show it off to everyone.

Cordelia shot up from her seat. She wasn't one for physical contact, especially not with people she disliked. Her expression turned icy as she said, "Try touching me and see what happens."

Hayley suddenly remembered how, before Cordelia had left for the Autumn Gold Academic Bootcamp, she had given her and Juliana quite the beating in the school restroom...

Now, Cordelia's gaze was just as calm and intimidating as it had been that day.

Hayley's hand froze mid-air, not daring to move any closer.

But she doubted Cordelia would dare to make a scene in front of everyone, so, even though she didn't touch her, Hayley still muttered, "It's just a couple of rocks, right? And that bracelet looks homemade. What's the big deal? Can't even let anyone touch it, so stingy!"

Meanwhile, Abbey's eyes again landed on Cordelia's wrist. The five red gems tied together with a black string bracelet sparkled under the light, enhancing their beauty without overshadowing each gem's natural color.

Rocks...

Her eyes narrowed as she suddenly stood up.

Those were definitely not just any rocks!

Not too far away, Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Brown, and Lorna were engrossed in their own conversation. Lorna, known for her mild temperament and introversion, still held her own in discussions, earning the respect and fondness of Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Brown.
