Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 290

The moment Cordelia walked into the room, all eyes snapped to her.

Juliana burst into tears, her voice choked with sobs. "Is it because you just don't like me? Ever since you came back, it's been nothing but chaos around here! And now Hanley's head over heels for you too, taking away everything that was mine. Are you happy now?"

It seemed like she had been holding those words in for ages, and after she let them out, she ran out of the room crying.

Cordelia was speechless.

This was utterly ridiculous.

She frowned, clearly annoyed, when suddenly, Hanley didn't chase after Juliana. Instead, he approached her. "Cordelia, I'm sorry, I..."

He stumbled over his words, unable to finish his sentence.

Cordelia raised an eyebrow.

Without missing a beat, Little Parrot transformed into Sass Queen and said, "Hanley, grow a backbone, will ya? Can't even handle your own drama and now dumping it on Lia? Think she's easy to bully? Your engagement's off, stop dragging her into your mess. Lia's biggest wish right now is for you to keep your distance and not trouble her anymore!"

Hanley's face turned beet red. Standing there in his school uniform, he finally managed to say, "I'm sorry, I'll sort it out," before he hurried off after Juliana.

When school was over, Cordelia and Merry headed home.

Sanderson's new venture hadn't taken off yet, so the older folks were meeting up in his study.

Arriving home, they found Lorna preparing snacks, planning to take them up to the meeting.

Seeing Merry, Lorna suddenly handed her a peeled apple.
