Chapter 71 Deadly Rumors

Cordelia's eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly pulled herself together.

"How could you say that? Connie died in a car accident protecting this child. Isabella looks just like Darren, and their blood types match. Don't say this in front of him, or he'll cut ties with the family to defend Isabella."

"I have no relationship with him. After finding out that Sebastian was blind and crippled, the Vale Family asked me to break off the engagement. I should've cut ties with them then, so Isabella wouldn't be bothering my grandson all the time." Cordelia's voice softened, "Mom, Sebastian chose this engagement himself when he was a kid. He told the family elders he'd marry Connie's daughter when he grew up. We can't go back on our word."

Aurora sneered, "He was only four years old then, just wanting a sibling to play with. If it weren't for the accident with your unborn child, he wouldn't have gone to the Vale Family looking for a playmate." Talking about this darkened Cordelia's face, "Mom, I didn't mean it. Because of that child, Derek still hasn't forgiven me. He'd rather flirt around than be with me."

Feeling her sadness, Aurora didn't want to reopen her wounds, "Alright, don't use background as an excuse to refuse Joey as our family member. Don't forget your background isn't any better than hers." That silenced Cordelia completely.

Her background had always been her Achilles' heel.

Her father, a gambler who frequently abused her mother, later went to prison for assault.

Her mother, in poor health, passed away a few years later.

But Derek never looked down on her.

To be specific, he never looked down on Carrie Winters.

The thought of that name made Cordelia brim with malice.
