The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 364

After clocking out from her own department, Brooklyn headed to Ronan's office. Ronan, who had just

arrived, was in his office, reviewing and signing papers. Upon seeing Brooklyn, Ronan said in a

nonchalant tone, "What's up?"

"Oh, Mr. Evans, I video-chatted with Cordelia this morning. She said she's now in the States, and

everything went smoothly," Brooklyn reported.

"Got it." Ronan continued to hold his pen, signing papers as if nothing else mattered.

Brooklyn hesitated, licking her lips. "Cordelia mentioned that she sent you a message on Messenger,

but you didn't reply. I assumed you might have missed it. Have you not marked Cordelia's messages as

a priority, Mr. Evans?"

Ronan lifted his gaze to look at Brooklyn. With just one look, Brooklyn wished she could crawl into a

hole. Ronan's message was clear. Was this any of her business?

"Goodbye, Mr. Evans!" Brooklyn swiftly said, closed the door to Ronan's office, and left.

...

Samantha received the pearl necklace in the mail today. The sender was anonymous; she had no idea

who it was. The necklace, filled with full, gleaming pearls, was clearly valuable, much like the pearls

from Tahiti. Samantha feared it was from Deanna, worried about another phosphorus fire incident.

Moreover, a necklace was worn around the neck; if it contained other substances, it would be far from

amusing.

Ever since Samantha stepped into the world of showbiz, she was familiar with the cunning tricks played

by women in ancient court dramas. For example, the queen gave a concubine an infertility necklace to

prevent her from becoming pregnant. Samantha knew these plots like the back of her hand. So,

Samantha took the necklace to a professional appraisal institution. The appraisal confirmed that there

were no harmful substances in the necklace, meaning that Samantha could wear the necklace safely.

She was just in need of a statement piece for an upcoming audition; this saved her a fair amount of

money. The pearl necklace certainly added to her appeal. She wore it to the set, ready to audition for a

new role. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The set for "Say Your Name."

The film, produced by Kent's production company, was a suspense movie. Samantha was auditioning

for the secondary antagonist role. However, the casting director told her she wasn't impressive and that

she had no substantial possessions, no formal training, and no noteworthy work.

Samantha was quite dejected. Just as she was about to leave, Marian entered the set. She was off that

day and had come to the set to hang out.

The necklace around Samantha's neck caught her eye. Marian quickly went to the casting director,

picking up the resume of the girl who had just left.

Samantha. Deanna's former assistant. Indeed, she was Cordelia's cousin, and the necklace around her

neck was undoubtedly the one Marian had given to Cordelia.

In order to shift the risks, Cordelia had casually passed on the necklace to her nemesis-cousin!

The necklace was a sincere gift Marian had bought for Cordelia, an expensive one at that, just to get

on Cordelia’s good terms. First, Cordelia discarded her care package, then she gave away the

necklace purchased for her.

"Director, call her back. I know her. You could give her a chance to play the main antagonist or the

secondary one," Marian suggested.

If Samantha was Cordelia's enemy, then the enemy of her enemy was her friend. She was determined

to elevate Samantha’s career.
