    Billy said, “Ma’am, I’ve given it some thought Instead of saying President Hartley is charmed, it’s more


    like he wants to take responsibility for that person You know Hartley’s personality very well, he either


    doesn’t do something, or he does it to the best of his ability Marriage should be the same for him. Since


    he promised the olddy hed marry, he’ll definately take responsibility for his wife”


    “Really?” Courtney didn’t dare to im she truly understood him.


    During the crisis the Hartley family was facing, everyone thought the family power would fall into other


    people’s hands. However, Marcus, who was still underage, bravely stood up and took back the family


    power in a sh


    No one saw iting, not even her, his mother.


    Billy nodded, “That’s what I believe”


    Courtney scoffed. The Hartleys have ambition in their bones, they have dreams, but theyck a sense


    of responsibility for their wives. His father never thought of taking responsibility for


    me his wife”


    Billy continued, “He wasn’t responsible to you, but in the past few decades, he has cherished that


    woman. That’s another kind of responsibility, I guess.”


    Courtney’s face turned cold, “You’re even making excuses for him”


    Billy hurnedly exined, “Ma’am, I’m not making excuses for him, I just don’t want to see you upset


    over these things. His heart was never with you, and yours wasn’t with him either Over the years, you


    both lived separate lives, not bothering each other.”


    Even though this wasmon knowledge, hearing Billy say it so bluntly still made Courtney feel


    ufortable


    “So I’m just supposed to roll over and admit defeat?” Courtney knew she couldn’t win her husband’s


    heart, nor control Marcus’s fate, she was just not willing to admit defeat.


    Billy said. “Maam, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say.”


    Courtney looked out the window at the snow, “Go ahead.”


    Billy said, “President Hartley is your biological son. No matter who he marries, no matter how good he


    is to that woman, it can’t change the fact that he’s your son. Why are you torturing yourself like this?”


    “Ah, I’m torturing myself?” No, she wasn’t torturing herself, she was just fed up with the Hartley family


    getting better and better, everyone living better lives than her. While her family, the Kamps, were


    gradually declining


    She wasn’t willing to admit defeat, but reality forced her to ept failure, “Fine, since I’m no match for


    Marc, I guess I’ll just have to ept it. But that woman named Cornelia, she’ll never get my approval*


    Billy didnt say anything more, but he knew very well that Marcus hadn’t even mentioned his marriage to


    Courtney, whether she epted his wife or not, he probably didn’t care


    The snow outside was getting heavier and the heating in the room wasn’t enough to dispel the chill in


    Courtney’s heart.

    It was almost dawn, and Marcus was still by Cornelia’s side, not leaving for a moment. Dr. Dawson was


    a little worried, after some thought, she decided to enter the room, “Marc, you should go rest a bit, I’ll


    watch over Cornelia.”


    Marcus didn’t respond, his eyes could only see Cornelia on the bed, any outside noise couldn’t reach


    his ears, no one could enter his sight.


    Dr. Dawson called out a couple times, but didn’t get any response. She didn’t dare to forcefully pull him


    away, and in the end she could only leave the ward helplessly


    Ayden was keeping vigil outside the ward, he saw Dr. Dawson came out with her head down, “Mom, is


    Ms. Stewart okay?”


    Dr. Dawson replied. “Cornelia will be fine once she wakes up, I’m worried about Marc”


    Ayden was very puzzled, “What happened to President Hartley?”
