Cordelia was getting old. Even though she put all her strength into slapping Dahlia, it didn’t match the force Dahlia used on Aldor a moment before.

Dahlia, who was in her fifties, felt really embarrassed about being slapped. It didn’t hurt too much, but she was still shocked by what happened.

Covering her face in disbelief, Dahlia uttered, “Cordelia?”

With a stern look, Cordelia replied, “If Aldor hadn’t helped Keegan during his disappearance, he would’ve lost his position in the company. And you wouldn’t be allowed in this house.”

“Aldor and all the Rivera employees earn their places here because of what they can do. They’re not your workers to scold and hit. You’re ruining the Kane family’s reputation!” she went on.

Dahlia’s face changed from red to pale. After a moment, she clenched her teeth and apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, Cordelia.”

Keeping her cold expression, Cordelia told her, “You should apologize to Aldor, not me.”

Clenching her fists, Dahlia turned to Aldor and muttered an apology.
