The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 339

"What's the deal with this?" Cordelia fumbled with the odd, warm ring.

"When Grandma passed away, I found it by her bedside. Originally, I just picked it up to play around

with it, but then... my nightmares started." Samantha's eye was heavily bandaged, making her look

comical, but her tone was downright chilling.

"What do you mean?" Cordelia was puzzled. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"How should I know what's going on? At first, I thought it was all Deanna playing tricks on me. But

when I went to Vernon yesterday, and she purposely injured my eye, I realized it wasn't her at all!

Cordelia, you've really done it now! This ring of yours has drawn your enemies' attention to me. They

sent phosphorus to our house, and it self-ignited, burning Grandma to death. You are the real

murderer, who killed Grandma! Cordelia, don't play innocent!" Samantha cursed Cordelia bitterly.

Cordelia felt a worsening pain in her stomach.

"How do you know this ring is mine?" Cordelia asked.

"Who else has been to see Grandma? If it's not yours, then whose is it? Yesterday, I went to Vernon to

confront Deanna and ended up with an injured eye. When I was in the bathroom, I heard someone on

the phone. Their voice was low, but I still heard them say, 'As you instructed, it was the one with the

ring. The attempt to burn her failed last time, and instead, it burned her grandmother. However, she

thinks Deanna orchestrated all these events.' Cordelia, not only have you harmed me, but you also

killed your own grandmother. You deserve to die!"

"You made that up!" Cordelia looked at the ring. "It's just a ring."

Cordelia wanted to test the truthfulness of Samantha's words.

"Cordelia, if it wasn't for your pregnancy, I'd have thrown you into the lake and fed you to the fishes! I

don't know who you've offended! Anyway, remember this, you killed Grandmother. Also, Deanna told

me that six years ago, she indeed was pregnant with Ronan's child, but she had it aborted. If Ronan

knew, I wonder how guilty he would feel." After saying this, Samantha left arrogantly.

As Samantha turned around, Cordelia's face changed instantly.

She had just held her emotions in check in front of Samantha, not revealing her inner vulnerability.

But Samantha's last words had deeply shaken Cordelia.

Today, two people had said that Deanna had once carried Ronan's child.

Looking at the ring in her hand and recalling Samantha's words - she had killed her grandmother...

Even though Cordelia did not make Samantha wear the ring, the ring was hers, and she was the main

culprit.

Unexpectedly, instead of attracting her biological parents, this ring had brought her enemies.

Cordelia lifted her hand and threw the ring into the lake!

Suddenly, her stomach pain became unbearable.

...

Turning around, Samantha had a triumphant look.

The story about Deanna and Ronan was something she added herself.

Originally, wearing Cordelia's ring had brought her so much trouble. Her eye was injured by lime, and

she didn’t know when it would heal. She was frustrated enough, thinking it was Deanna’s doing. But

now, it turned out it wasn’t. The person was targeting Cordelia.

Her hatred for Cordelia was much greater than it was for Deanna.

She not only wanted Cordelia to feel guilty for killing her grandmother, but she also deliberately wanted

to drive a wedge between Cordelia and Ronan.

Samantha knew Ronan wouldn't admit it, but such things were impossible to prove!

Samantha didn't know that this accidental agreement between her and Leila almost sent Cordelia to

hell.
