    Chapter 184


    “It’s you!” The puppet master behind the scenes was Eden, just as Cornelia had spected She


    quickly regained herposure, “Eden, if I’m not mistaken, you just got out of jail not long


    ago, right?”


    Upon hearing this, Edenughed hysterically as if he’d just heard the funniest joke. “Cornelia, do you


    really know me? You thought that petty crime wouldnd me in jail for months? To be honest, the day


    you sent me in, I was out before dinner I didn’t mess with you before out of respect for President


    Hartley”


    Cornelia admitted her oversight in not keeping up with Eden’s affairs, “Eden, no matter who you are,


    you can’t stand above thew


    “Hahaha!” Edenughed wildly. “My uncle is Matt Petersen, the head of the Petersen family, one of the


    four major families in Riverton. My cousin is Riverton’s topwyer, Ryan Petersen Who dares to lock


    me up in Riverton?”


    “Ryan” Corn repeated the name


    Eden was Ryan’s cousin!


    Ryan was Jeremy’swyer Could she seek help from Ryan to get out of this predicament?


    Many thoughts raced through Cornelia’s mind, but none seemed practical. For now, she could only take


    one step at a time, “Eden, does Ryan know about your deeds? As far as I know, Ryan’s way of doing


    things isn’t as arrogant as yours”


    *What he did is none of your business!!” Eden approached Cornelia, gripping her chin tightly, “Cornelia,


    I warned you, messing with me leads only to a dead–end. Today, I’ll make you wish you were dead”


    Cornelia pped his hand away, sneered, “Aren’t you afraid of President Hartley? I’m his assistant, you


    should know what kind of person he is. Let me go now, and there’s still room for


    maneuver


    Just hearing Marcus name gave Eden chills


    He was indeed fearful, but he wouldn’t leave himself vulnerable. He’d make Cornelia jump from the


    eighteenth floor just like that girl two years ago.


    Marcus wouldn’t bother to investigate why a small assistant would jump off a building


    “Cornelia, you think just because you’re pretty, President Hartley will do as you say? If he truly valued


    you, why would he announce his marriage a few days ago?”


    Before Eden had some reservations about dealing with Cornelia, but those were gone the day Marcus


    announced his marriage.

    He guessed that Marcus’s sudden announcement was to tell those around him not to harbor any


    illusions.


    “Eden, that woman’s husband called again.” The man who had brought Cornelia handed Eden her


    phone.


    Eden looked at the screen disying “Jeremy“.


    “You’re already married, yet you’re seducing President Hartley. You little slut, I really underestimated


    you.”


    Trapped in a bind, Cornelia had to go for broke, “Even if you’re not afraid of President Hartley, do you


    know who my husband is?”


    “No matter who he is, you won’t escape tonight. “Eden feared no one as long as Marcus stayed out of


    it, “You want to answer the phone? I’ll let you. I’ll let your husband hear exactly how I forment you


    Eden swiped the green button, and the call was immediately connected. He put the phone on the


    coffee table next to him, so Cornelia couldn’t hear Jeremy’s voice.


    Cornelia couldn’t hear, but she could speak, 03212020


    “What the hell are you bbering about?” Eden pped Cornelia, leaving a clear handprint on her


    face.


    Despite the p, Corne had conveyed vital information. The p was well worth it. Now, she only


    hoped Jeremy could catch her drift.


    With a wave of Edens hand, someone brought a murky liquid, ‘Drink up, I promise you’ll be happier


    than a fairy tonight.”


    “Eden, you have no idea who my husband is, yet you treat me like this. Have you considered the


    consequences?” Cornelia took the ss and swirled it slightly in front of her eyes – every minute of


    dy was a minute.
