DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 94
Chapter 94
Clad in a sleek black ensemble, Everard cradled a copy of Emerson's essays in
his hands, his gaze intermittently shifting to the clock by the door. It was 7:30
already.
If Cordelia didn’t show up soon, she'd be late for class.
He gestured towards Calvert with a flick of his fingers. Calvert looked at him,
confused.
Everard, with a hint of disdain, simply said, “Give me your phone.”
Using Calvert's phone, Everard sent a text to Cordelia, “Where are you?”
After sending the message, there was no reply.
Everard glanced at the clock again, confirming the time was indeed 7:40.
He used Calvert's WhatsApp to send a message to his account, and his phone
buzzed instantly, indicating there was a signal. So why no reply?
After mulling it over, Everard took out his phone and sent a message, “Have you
started class?”
Everard, known as “Mr. All-Round” on WhatsApp, always received instant replies
from Cordella. She usually responded to him just as quickly. If she wasn't
replying, it meant she was in class. But still, there was silence.
By 7:50, Everard couldn't sit still any longer. He looked at Calvert, “Get Skyler to
trace her location.”
Calvert was internally rolling his eyes. The boss was overreacting just because
Cordelia hadn't shown up for a meal, but he quickly got in touch with Skyler and
handed over Cordelia’s number. Moments later, Skyler responded with a location:
Lavish Luxury Lodge.
Why did she skip school to go to a hotel?
After a moment of contemplation, Everard stood up decisively. “Get the car
ready.”
At Lavish Luxury Lodge.
The Delaney family’s car pulled into the parking lot, and Cordelia had barely
stepped out when she was surrounded by several men in black suits. After
Kermit emerged from the car with a chuckle, “Smart girl, not making a fuss on the
ride over. After all, a car accident would've been unfortunate. Cordelia, take the
easy route. Just have a pleasant breakfast with Mr. Wallace, and I'll make sure
you're well compensated afterward!” Cordelia surveyed the surroundings. The
parking lot was vast, dotted with cars of brands she didn’t recognize but
appeared costly.
A good hotel usually meant a good breakfast. She mused, following Kermit
towards the elevator. Once inside, she replied nonchalantly, “Just don't regret it.”
Kermit, with a face bearing a resemblance to Sanderson's but with a sly grin,
said, “Regret what? Afraid your dad will come after me? Let me tell you, once it's
a done deal, your father will thank me! Marrying a man like Mr. Wallace is a far
better outcome than ending up with some street punk.”
They rode the elevator straight to the presidential suite, stopping at room 1808.
Kermit knocked on the door.
When the door swung open, there stood the so—called Calvert in a hotel
bathrobe, eyeing Kermit and the girl behind him. Cordelia, in her school uniform
with a high ponytail and a white cap, looked impeccably neat and particularly
demure, which seemed to stir appetites.
Calvert swallowed hard before smiling, “Please, come in, Ms. Delaney.”
Before Cordelia could move, someone pushed her from behind.
Once Cordelia entered the room, Calvert shut the door and said, “Come, Ms.
Delaney, let's have breakfast.”
The door slammed shut, and Calvert's henchmen couldn't help but ask, “All
good?”

Kermit waved his hand dismissively, “What could go wrong? She's my niece!
Besides, how much trouble can she cause? No way Mr. Wallace can't handle
her!”
Reassured by the thought of her frail appearance, they relaxed.
Then came a cacophony from inside the room, the sound of someone being flung
against the door, which seemed to crack open, only to be promptly closed again,
Listening to the commotion, they exchanged knowing smirks, “Quite spirited,
eh?”
Kermit craned his neck, half-joking. “Mr. Wallace likes it rough? Just don’t hurt
my niece. If she’s injured, I can’t answer to Sanderson.”
Laughter filled the air.
Inside the room, Calvert crawled towards the door, blood spilling from his mouth
along with a tooth.
He looked back in horror to see the “demure and frail” Cordelia perched on the
sofa, biting curiously into a sandwich, her eyes lighting up after a taste.
After finishing the sandwich, Cordelia stood up, seemingly oblivious to the man
on the floor, and walked to the door.
She stepped out into the corridor where Kermit was stunned at her unruffled
appearance. “That was quick?"
Cordelia glanced at him and paused, “Took long enough.”
“Oh, right.” Kermit looked her over, worried she might be hurt after such a ruckus.
“How do you feel, Lia?"
“I'm fine,” Cordelia said, checking the time. “I need to get to school.”
She adjusted her backpack and hurried towards the elevator. Just a few steps
away, she heard the panic—stricken voice behind her, “Stop her!”
Cordelia quickened her pace, hesitating for a mere fraction of a second between
beating the men to the ground and rushing to class. She opted for the latter.

Cordelia glanced at her wristwatch, “School.” She was late for class!
Everard said, “Get in.”
He was about to open the passenger door when he noticed Cordelia had deftly
hopped into the back seat. Everard's hand paused in mid-air before slowly
retracting.

No sooner had she sent the message than Everard’s phone chimed. Cordelia
furrowed her brows, puzzled, and looked toward his phone.
Everard's deep voice came through again, “Who asked you out?”
“Calvert.”
