    Chapter 370


    Cornelia was trying to sneak out, but Marcus wasn’t having it “Remember when Courtney was being a


    total jerk to you? Don’t you wanna get back at her?”


    Corn sure did But no matter what issues there were between Courtney and her son, they were still


    family And Cornelia was just an outsider. As long as she had a shred of sanity, she wouldn’t blurt out.


    Tm gonna get back at your mem


    Marcus asked, “Not gonna say anything?”


    Cornelia replied. “What do you want me to say?”


    ”


    Marcus nced at her swollen nose. Does your nose still hurt?


    Cornelia didn’t expect that question, and after a moment of surprise, she quickly shook her head, “No, it


    doesn’t hurt anymore


    Marcus continued, “If you really cant stand being in the same space as Courtney, you can go about


    your business once she apologizes to you”


    Cornelia didn’t believe that the arrogant Courtney would apologize to her, a lowly assistant. However,


    she didn’t want to put Marcus in a difficult position, “President Hartley, Ive forgotten about that incident.


    There’s no need for an apology”


    Marcus said. “You might have forgotten, but she hasn’t ”


    “Courtney “Courtney arrived, calling out Marcus name but her gazended on Cornelia. She also


    noticed Cornelia’s swollen nose, “Oh my. Cornelia, what happened to your nose? Does it hurt? Do you


    need a doctor? Marc, have you had a doctor check on her?”


    Since Courtney wanted to y this game, Cornelia would y along. “Thank you for your concern, Mrs


    Hartley! A doctor has checked on me I’m fine”


    Thats good Courtney rushed towards Cornelia, acting like a concerned elder, “Cornelia, there was a


    misunderstandingst time. I’m formally apologizing to you. Can you forgive me?”


    Cornelia silently backed away, not wanting any physical contact with Courtney


    She didn’t expect Courtney to apologize upon entering Was this prearranged by Marcus or did he


    guess that Courtney would do this? Regardless of why Courtney apologized, it made Cornelia feel like


    she wasplex. This was what they called a smart person


    She instinctively looked at Marcus, who was also staring at her. He smiled, “Tell Ben to tidy up the


    screening room, we’ll be watching TV thereter. You go get ready. I’ll be there soon


    “Okay “Upon receiving themand, Cornelia turned to leave, not wanting toy her eyes on Courtney


    anymore.


    Not until Cornelia left, did Courtney turn her gaze back to Marcus When she saw the apron he was


    wearing, she couldn’t hide her surprise and confusion


    She reproached, “Marcus, you used to guard your screening room like a treasure, no one could enter


    without your permission, and now you’re letting her dine there You used to hate the smell of cooking,


    no one was allowed to cook at home, and now you’re cooking. You haven’t even been with her for a


    year, and you’ve made so many changes for her. Aren’t you afraid she’ll be more and more


    demanding, maybe even disrespectful to you?”


    “As long as she wants to, I’ll let her, and I can even give in for her” The warmth in Marcus‘ eyes was


    gone, and when he looked at Courtney, his gaze was icy cold again, “And she’s not an outsider, she’s


    mywful wife. Her name is Cornelia!”

    Courtney was stung by Marcus words, but she couldn’t show it, ‘Marcus, I didn’t know she was your


    wife, that’s why I had someone talk to her. If I’d known she was your wife, I wouldn’t have done that.”


    Years had passed, and she was still the same old fibber
