Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 266

Cordelia was taken aback, and Abbey was even more bewildered. "You don't know my brother? Then why would he send you jewels?" That comment snapped Cordelia back to reality. "You mean Bill?"

Far away in Midnight Scent, Bill sneezed, oblivious that he almost blew his cover.

Bill was his nickname, and seeing that Cordelia knew even that, Abbey was convinced their relationship was no ordinary one.

Abbey was close to her brother and, sizing up Cordelia once more, couldn't help but make a judgment in her mind.

Could it be that her brother had fallen for Ms. Delaney, planning to make her his bride?

Ms. Delaney was indeed beautiful and had a great aura. Now that Abbey saw her in a good light, she felt Cordelia was nothing like the local girls like Hayley Greenmeadow.

Abbey was quite pleased with her potential sister-in-law!

So, before Mrs. Brown left with Hayley, she made a point to drop a hint: "Seems like your daughter could use a bit more discipline!"

Mrs. Brown caught the drift immediately and replied, "Don't you worry, I'll take her home and have a word with her parents. They'll make sure she's set straight!"

Once they were gone, Abbey turned to Cordelia, noticing how she nonchalantly wore gems worth millions, perhaps even billions, without a hint of arrogance or inferiority. It seemed like they were just stones to her, which impressed Abbey even more.

She and Joy sat down beside Cordelia, engaging in a warm conversation.

Joy stretched out her hands, signing.

Abbey couldn't understand, so Cordelia had to translate: "What brings you to Greenmeadow?"

Abbey chuckled, "I'd never tell just anyone the real reason, but since it's you two, I'll spill. I'm actually here to see someone."

Joy paused in her signing, and Cordelia spoke for her, "Who?"

Abbey grinned, "My brother's boss!"

Joy tilted her head in confusion, not saying a word. Abbey caught her look which clearly questioned: Bill has always been the head of Fortuna Group, so how does he have a boss?
