Marcus chuckled. “Sorry for keeping you all waiting!”
The guy on the left alsoughed. “We get it. You two haven’t seen each other for a while, so you must
have lots to catch up on ”
They seemed more interested in Cornelia than Marcus. Introduce us to your partner.
This is my friend Cornelia, Marcus said. He said friend instead of an assistant.
All three men asked simultaneously, “Friend? Just a friend?”
Cornelia miled, “I’m Mr. Hartley’s assistant.”
Marcus heard Cornelia eagerly exining her identity, and his eyes dimmed slightly. He introduced
her, “Cornelia, this is Zavier Rivera from the Capital and his wife, Skyler Steven Doron from Harbor City
and his wife, Hannah. And Lucas Duncan from Serenity Bay and his wife, Rosie
Cornelia hadn’t met these people before, but she could tell from their names that they were all
important people
Indeed, influential people have influential friends and good–looking people have good–looking friends.
There had been rumors that the Hartley Group and Steven from Harbor City had conflicts. However,
judging from their conversation, they were old friends.
After greeting the three people. Cornelia heard Steven, who sat in the middle, say, “Marc, we all
brought our wives. What’s the deal with you bringing your assistant?”
Yeah Why would Marcus bring his assistant to such a private gathering?
Can’t he see how awkward she is now?
Marcus gave a straightforward answer. “My wife and I aren’t getting along, and were preparing for a
divorce. But you insisted I bring a femalepanion, so I had to ask a friend for help! Upon hearing the
news, everyone showed surprise, and finally, Steven asked on behalf of everyone, “You’re getting a
divorce? Last time you specifically went to Paris and spent 20 million on a ne for her. Now you’re
getting a divorce?”
Marcus‘ answer was still simple, “We’re not getting along”
He didn’t want to say more, and no one else asked further.
Seeing Cornelia’s embarrassment, Hannah kindly helped her out, “We all know each other here, Ms.
Stewart, no need to be nervous.”

How could Cornelia rx at such a private event? Nevertheless, she nodded and said, “Alright
“Dear, you guys chat. Well take Cornelia to get some food.” The three young and beautifuldies took
Cornelia to the dining area.
There were only a few guests at the restaurant, but there was a lot of food.
Cornelia hadn’t had much lunch, so she was indeed hungry.
She picked up some of her favorite snacks and asked the chef to prepare a lobster.
Watching Cornelia enjoy her dessert, Hannah said enviously, “Cornelia, how do you manage to eat so
much without gaining weight?”
Hannah only had a small steak, a small piece of fruit, and vegetables. She didn’t even dare to think
about sweets.
As long as you burn more calories than you consume daily. You won’t gain weight.” Cornelia looked up
at her, feeling she looked familiar.
After thinking carefully, Cornelia finally remembered who she was, “You’re the super popr star,
Hannah, right?”
Hannahughed, ‘Oh my, I’m ttered you could recognize me without makeup.”
“You look even more beautiful than on TV Cornelia was a big fan of Hannah’s TV shows. She was
young, pretty, and talented.
Cornelia remembered her public image as single, and there had been rumors that she had found a rich
boy friend. She didn’t know she was already married, and that her husband’s filmpany ranked first
in the country.
Steven came over and sat down next to Hannah as they were chatting. He wrapped his arm around her
slender waist and kissed her.
After the kiss, Hannah picked up thest piece of steak and fed it to him, their actions sweet and
intimate.
Cornelia had never seen such a scene, instinctively turning her head away, but inadvertently met
Marcus‘ gaze.
