Chapter 292


    Chapter 292


    Comelia was left hanging, clutching her phone until she fell asleep without any reply from Jeremy


    That night Comelia had a restless sleep filled with all sorts of weird dreams


    She dreamt about her childhood days ying with Zack, her university years, and Matus


    Marcus in het dreams was particrly horrifying He took off his daily disguise, morphing into a man


    eating monster He opened his mouth wide, inching closer and closer, ready to swallow her whole


    Cornelia woke up with a start momentarily disoriented about where the was


    After gathering he bearings she looked around and remembered she was in a hotel


    Daylight had already broken, with the sun’s rays filtering into the room through the curtains


    She checked her phone and it was already 9 in the morning


    There was an unread message on her phone it was from Jeremy sent a bit past & in the morning,


    “Cornelia, I’m sorry! I fell asleepst night and didn’t manage to reply to your message” Seeing his


    message, Comelia felt a pang of disappointment. She wanted to share what happenedst night with


    him, but also didn’t want him to worry


    Besides Marcus had mistaken her for someone else because he was drunk. He didn’t mean to offend


    her


    She texted him, “Are you still nning to leave Riverton?”


    Jeremy replied. “Im really busy with work I don’t spend much time in Riverton”


    Comelia didnt reply to him. She understood, his work often took him away from Riverton, just like her,


    she often had to travel with Marcus.

    After tidying her room, she stepped out and noticed Marcus sitting at the dining table, engrossed in


    reviewing some documents on his tablet. He appeared refreshed and neatly dressed


    Upon hearing her he looked up and casually said, “Awake already? Join me for breakfast”


    He acted as if nothing had happened the previous night,pletely oblivious to her restless and


    nightmarish experience The more Cornelia dwelled on it, the more her anger grew, yet she couldn’t


    muster the courage to confront him


    Quietly Come approached the dining table and began eating her breakfast without a word. Sensing


    her somber demeanor, Marcus asked her, “Why are you in a bad mood so early in the morning?”


    in a restrained tone. Cornelia replied. “I’m not upset”


    Suddenly, Marcus handed her a box and said, “This is for you”


    At the sight of the box, all her pent–up frustrations erupted, and she couldn’t hold back anymore.


    “President Hartley I know you’re wealthy, but there are some things that money can’t buy”


    Concerned. Marcus asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”


    Despite her outburst, Marcus remainedposed and looked at her with a gentle expression. It felt as


    if she were striking a soft pillow, unable to release her built–up frustration. With a sigh, she muttered,


    “Nothing”
