Married a Secret Billionaire

Cordelia understood everything, and nothing could escape her notice.

“This time, you should thank Arya.” Cordelia spoke softly. “If it weren’t for her timely intervention, it’d be hard to put an end to the situation should it escalate.”

“Is that so? Thank her?” Renee sneered. “Aunt Cordelia, you heard what she said, right? She claimed she mistakenly took my ring and put it in her own bag, only to forget about it. Why did you all buy what she said just because she’s the Bayer heiress? Why didn’t you consider the possibility that she and Lena conspired to stage this whole drama?”

Cordelia was somewhat surprised. She had been under the impression her earlier hint was enough but did not expect Renee to be so inflexible.

In retrospect, it seemed that Renee had placed all her resentment for losing her mother on Lena. She believed that Lena had triggered Kaitlyn’s second personality, that Lena had driven Kaitlyn to jump off the cliff.

In other words, Lena had indirectly killed her mother!

Cordelia frowned. She could understand the deep mother-daughter bond between Renee and Kaitlyn. After all, she had experienced that kind of bond formed through reliance and enduring hardships with her own mother as well.

However, to say that Lena had forced Kaitlyn to her death was going too far. It might be more accurate to say that Kaitlyn’s death had brought relief to her.

“Renee, you can’t randomly blame others.” Cordelia tried to counsel her. “We’re all doing this for your own good, hoping that you can be as happy as you were before—”
