Chapter 178 Punishing Cordelia

Cordelia looked at Joey, feeling guilty. "If you're mad, it's because I accidentally let slip that you can't have kids. But I also told him we don't care as long as Sebastian likes you. That's all I said."

Aurora slammed the table in anger. "He's already sick, and you made it worse? Cordelia, this is on you. If you don't explain yourself, I won't forgive you! Derek, she's your wife. Handle it." Derek's face was cold. He knew why Cordelia did it.

He turned to Joey, his voice hoarse. "Joey, Mr. Blackwood's death is on Cordelia. I'll make sure she apologizes at his grave and pays his family. The Blackwoods won't blame you, I promise. Is that okay? If you need anything else, just say the word."

Derek, usually proud, had to humble himself. He knew this could affect Sebastian and Joey's relationship, possibly ending their marriage.

Sebastian had finally found someone he wanted to marry, and Derek wouldn't let him lose that happiness.

No matter how much Joey hated Cordelia, she couldn't be disrespectful in front of Aurora and Derek, who had always been good to her.

But with Cordelia in the way, her relationship with Sebastian was doomed to be rocky.

She clenched her fingers, her voice choked. "Aurora, Derek, no matter what, my great-grandfather won't come back. We all know Cordelia's true intentions.
