Chapter 271

Abbey looked at Cordelia, struggling to find the right words before blurting out, "Lia, is your family... crazy?"

Rachel and Juliana were taken aback.

Abbey pointed at them and began to rant, "I begged you, let me and Lia have a quiet chat, okay? Stop making a scene here!"

Juliana was confused, "Ms. Robinson, I just saw my sister ignoring you..."

"She has been paying attention to me!" Abbey cut in, "Didn't you see her nodding and shaking her head?!"

Juliana: ?

Abbey understood Cordelia was reserved, and some people are just like that, but it didn't hinder their communication. When she spoke, Cordelia was genuinely listening, making their interaction quite comfortable.

Abbey continued, "What's wrong with liking this?"

Juliana: !!

Seeing the situation escalate, Rachel, worried about causing a scene at the party, quickly looked at Cordelia and said, "It seems it was all a misunderstanding. Juliana is just overly enthusiastic, worried Lia might not be the best at hosting. Since Ms. Robinson is okay with it, then it's all good. Hope Ms. Robinson feels right at home!"

These words made Abbey realize this was happening at a birthday celebration.

Steward was, after all, Cordelia's grandfather, and if she kept on, it would make Cordelia look bad.

Abbey finally calmed down and sat next to Cordelia.

Juliana, red-faced from Abbey's scolding, couldn't stay any longer and walked away with teary eyes.

Rosina, on the other hand, was straightforward and asked, "Ms. Robinson, isn't your brother Bill at odds with Cordelia's kept man? How come you're still so close with her?"

Rosina's question was blunt but echoed the curiosity of everyone present.

Abbey was stunned.
