Chapter 429 Cordelia's Revenge on Sophia
Evelina looked at Cordelia in surprise. "Are you serious?"
Cordelia glanced at her. "What Sophia wants is shares in the Cunningham Group. She has schemed for many years and naturally won't give up easily. But if I divorce Willian and he doesn't gain anything, the most anxious person will be Sophia."
By then, Willian would probably see Sophia for who she really was.
"Cordelia, you still say you don't care about Guadalupe," Evelina sighed.
In fact, Evelina knew that Guadalupe was special to Cordelia.
Cordelia frowned. "It's not because of him, it's because Sophia is too arrogant."
Sophia had repeatedly crossed her line and provoked her.
Over the years, for the sake of the Cunningham family and the reputation of the Cunningham Group, she had tolerated it, making Sophia think she was easy to bully.
"Since you've decided, don't go back on your word. Forget about what you promise to Bill Cunningham," Evelina said with a smile.
Back then, Cordelia and Bill had an agreement that she would never initiate a divorce. If she did, regardless of whose fault it was, Cordelia would leave with nothing.
She couldn't take any shares of the Cunningham Group with her.
Cordelia could understand Bill, he was also worried about the shares of the Cunningham family flowing out.
But now, she didn't want to keep her promise anymore.
"Nolan, convene a board meeting first thing tomorrow morning. I will transfer all my shares to you three brothers and Jasmine. I don't want a single share of the Cunningham family," Cordelia said seriously.
Nolan nodded, not even trying to persuade her.
Because he knew that those shares were shackles that had bound Cordelia for a lifetime.
Only by getting rid of those shackles could she truly be free.
In the hotel room.
Arnold sat on the sofa, looking helpless.
"Mr. Sanders," Derek cautiously entered the room and spoke softly. "Daniel went to the warehouse where you were in trouble. Apparently, he found out you were kidnapped. I don't know if he went to rescue you or..."
Arnold squinted his eyes but said nothing.
"Have you decided to cooperate with the Douglas family?"
"We're not in a hurry. Let's wait a bit longer," Arnold said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Sanders, you're worried about Cordelia," Derek sighed and spoke again. "For so many years, you've given up so much for her and secretly helped the Cunningham Group a lot. She still refuses to divorce. You've waited for over twenty years, it's not worth it."
Arnold said nothing.
"Over the years, there have been many excellent women who love you. Do you really not like any of them?" Derek felt sorry for Arnold. Others said Arnold liked men so that he hadn't married all these years.
But Derek knew that Arnold had been waiting for someone.
He had been silently protecting a woman.
He had devoted his youth and all his energy to Cordelia.
"They just cared about Arnold, liked Arnold. No one truly cared about Guadalupe. Only she did, not because I was Arnold," Arnold's voice was a bit hoarse.
Thinking of what Sophia had done to him many years ago, Arnold's eyes grew colder.
At that time, he was almost beaten to death by people Sophia had hired. When he woke up, his mother was already dead. Sophia took all the valuable things from the house and borrowed money in the village under his name, leaving him in debt.
At that time, he thought he would never fall for a woman again, he even felt disgust and physical revulsion towards the opposite sex for a long period.
But then he met Cordelia.
She seemed different from everyone else.
As a bodyguard, a poor boy with nothing, he came to her side, and she never looked down on him.
Cordelia was someone who gave her kindness to the world but never received kindness in return.
When Arnold was by Cordelia's side as a bodyguard, Cordelia didn't know she was already pregnant with Jasmine. It was only after she fainted from anger and was sent to the hospital that she discovered she was pregnant.
At that time, Arnold didn't have any special feelings for Cordelia, he was just curious about how much she could endure.
Even when mistresses came to provoke her, she remained calm.
Back then, Willian had many mistresses. One of them, a newly graduated college student, even came to provoke Cordelia, saying that Cordelia, having given birth to three children, would no longer be liked by any man.
Cordelia just shook her head with a smile. "So young and already treating herself as an object. It's quite sad."
She earnestly advised, "Young lady, your parents raised you and sent you to school, not for you to seduce a married man."
The young student didn't listen at all and spoke arrogantly, claiming she was Willian's true love.
Cordelia just had her sent away and even gave her a few thousand dollars.
Arnold was shocked and curiously asked Cordelia why she did that.
Cordelia said, "Willian has more than one mistress."
After saying that, she instructed her people, "Inform Willian's other mistresses about this one causing trouble."
Cordelia intended to have the other mistresses deal with this one.
Arnold stared at Cordelia in amazement, she was so calm, it was frightening.
"Why don't you get a divorce?" Arnold had asked Cordelia countless times about it.
Cordelia would smile and retort, "Why should I get a divorce? He still has principles. As long as he doesn't have illegitimate children outside, I can choose to ignore it."
At that time, it seemed Cordelia was holding on for the sake of her children.
But later, Sophia successfully drove away all of Willian's mistresses.
Sophia became the only one among the mistresses.
At that moment, Cordelia knew that the last one standing, Sophia, was not simple and wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Sure enough, not long after, Cordelia found out that Sophia was pregnant.
The day she learned of Sophia's pregnancy, Cordelia fainted. It was only at the hospital that she discovered she was also pregnant.
That baby in Cordelia's belly was Jasmine.
"Mr. Sanders, I don't think Cordelia will divorce Willian. Is it worth it for you to keep waiting?" Derek asked softly.
Arnold shook his head. "Everyone chooses their own path in life. There's no such thing as worth or not worth."
Compared to so many people who are forever separated and never have a chance to be together, he considered himself very lucky.
He had almost died once and had been in a coma for so long, he had already figured it out.
At the villa of the Cunningham family.
Willian stayed at there today and refused to leave. He was waiting for Cordelia to come back.
Cordelia walked in with a gloomy face and saw Willian.
"Willian, come to the company tomorrow. I have something to announce," Cordelia checked the time. "You can leave now. Remember to bring Sophia to the board meeting tomorrow."
Willian frowned. "What are you up to now?"
"You'll find out tomorrow. Make sure to bring Sophia, or you might regret it," Cordelia said coldly.
