The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 465

In the dead of the night, someone had disconnected Deanna's oxygen tank.

The following day, when Leila arrived at the hospital room, she noticed no breath fogging up Deanna's

oxygen mask. A sense of dread washed over her. Touching Deanna's body, she found it cold, and the

nurse was nowhere to be found.

The doctor had assured her that Deanna's condition was stable for now. How could this happen? Could

it be Ronan?

Leila slumped onto the floor, her eyes glazed over. Then, she broke down in loud sobs. "My poor girl,

why did you leave your mother all alone? Oh Deanna, what did Ronan do..." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

It was still early, and the nurses hadn't started their rounds yet. Hearing the wails from Deanna's room,

they rushed in, along with some patients from the nearby rooms.

The nurses quickly checked Deanna and began the necessary procedures. They apologized to Leila,

who remained unmoved, insisting on lodging a complaint against the hospital.

Leila's cries grew louder. "Deanna, my Deanna, you only had eyes for Ronan, but he's a complete jerk.

He didn't even come to visit you, and to avoid paying medical bills, he even unplugged your oxygen. I'm

calling the police."

Someone handed Leila a cellphone and she dialed 911.

After a detailed investigation, the police concluded that Deanna was murdered. Their suspicions were

confirmed by the CCTV footage showing a man entering Deanna's room the previous night.

"What?" Leila was so scared that she was trembling. She hadn't actually expected Deanna to be

murdered. She was just trying to tarnish Ronan's reputation for not paying up. But now, faced with the

reality of murder, she was too scared to confront Ronan.

The police launched an investigation into Deanna's case. Ronan had a solid alibi. The police turned

their attention to other potential suspects.

Ronan thought: If he knew Deanna would die so soon, he wouldn't have promised Tabitha to find a new

home for the child. Of course, his main motive was to find out who the child's father was, so he could

explain things to Cordelia.

...

Meanwhile, Alana announced that she was about to start filming a new show, "The Queen." Unlike

most romantic dramas, this show had a solid script that Alana had personally reviewed and added her

touches to. The lead character, a woman who remained unmarried and built her empire, was far from

the cliched romantic lead.

Suddenly, every A-list actress was vying for the lead role. Samantha was no exception. However, Alana

told her that if she wanted the role, she had to break up Cordelia and Ronan. Otherwise, she could

forget about playing the 'Queen'.

Samantha was in a dilemma. She had feelings for Harold and was reluctant to use him to sabotage

Cordelia and Ronan's relationship. But what else could she do?

"Damn it, all this drama and even if I break them up, there's no guarantee I'll get the role," Samantha

cursed.

At that moment, she was still at the Birchwood hotel. The show she was filming was about to wrap up.

"Calm down, I'll talk to your father," Sienna suggested.

"My father?"

"Yes. Let him talk to Cordelia about her sister. I don't believe Cordelia is that heartless." Sienna was

desperate for her daughter to get the lead role and was willing to do anything. So, she dialed Ronald's

number.
