Matt glanced at Ryan, who first eyed Marcus before daring to look at Cornelia, “Ms. Stewart, anything else you want?”
Cornelia said, “Mr. Ryan, could you please tell Jeremy that Id like to meet him, no matter if we’re getting a divorce or not.”
“What? The man you’re talking about is right in front of you” Ryan hadn’t even finished his sentence when he caught a warning look from Marcus
If the situation was right, he would’ve definitely made fun of Marcus. But today, he could only obediently reply, “Alright, Il tell him right away”
“Thanks” Cornelia wanted to say something else as she watched Matt and Ryan leave, but then she heard Marcus start speaking first, Feeling better now?”
‘Does the Petersen family really ignore Eden?” Even though she heard it straight from Matt, Cornelia still had her doubts All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
She was worried that the Petersen family was lying, trying to lull them into a false sense of security before finding a way to save Eden.
“The Petersen family is not ignoring him, they’re scared to meddle” Marcus knew Matt very well. He’s a businessman, where profit is king Eden was nothing more than a distant relative of the Petersen family, why would Matt risk ruining his relationship with the Hartley Group over him?
“Mr Hartley, I don’t even know how to thank you “Cornelia was very clear that the Petersen family only backed off because they were afraid of Marcus
Marcus only chuckled. “As long as you’re alright, and I can explain things to your husband, that’s thanks enough for me.”
“Mr. Hartley, the recording I mentioned earlier has every single word Eden said last night, including his admission that he personally admitted that he forced the girl to jump off the Skyline Tower two years ago Cornelia pulled out a small recording device from a hidden pocket in her clothes and handed it over to Marcus.
She handed over such important evidence to him, that is, she trusted him, and Marcus instantly felt better after being stuck all night, “You did a very good job, but you can’t do such a dangerous thing again in the future. “If Cornelia was just his assistant, he would’ve appreciated her courage that she could still record in such a dangerous situation. But Cornelia was also his wife, and he couldn’t bear to let his wife take such risks.
Cornelia said, “This recorder is small, and voice–activated, it’s hard for the person being recorded to find out there’s no danger.”
The recorder was shaped like a button, if you didn’t take a close look, you wouldn’t even realize it was a recording device. Marcus examined it, I have Ayden hand this over to the police He’ll continue dealing with Eden’s case. From now on, you just focus on your work, don’t worry about this.”
“Please express my thanks to Ayden.” With Eden’s case resolved, Cornelia finally relaxed. Her stomach grumbled, signaling her hunger.
Cornelia had a big appetite, even bigger than his. These were things Marcus learned from spending time with her, so he had food prepared beforehand. “Eat something if you’re hungry Cornelia was slightly embarrassed, “I’m causing trouble for you again.”
Marcus said, “It’s no trouble”
Marcus handed her a bowl of soup first. Cornelia started eating right away and choked because she was eating too fast.
“Slow down, no one’s fighting you for it “Marcus reached out to pat her back, but Cornelia quickly moved aside to avoid his hand.
Marcus’s hand was left hanging in the air. Cornelia said, “President Hartley, I’m really fine. You don’t have to take care of me for Jeremy.”
“Alright Marcus cleared his throat, got up and left the room, handing the recorder to Ayden who also hadn’t slept all night, ‘Listen to what’s on it first, if there’s no problem, hand it over to the police”
Ayden said, “Alright”
Marcus added, “From now on, you’re in charge of Cornelia’s safety behind the scenes.”
