    He was so strong, Cornelia felt like her shoulder was about to be crushed by him


    Herce wrinkled up in pain, “President Hartley, it hurts.”


    Marcus immediately lightened his grip. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”


    Cornelia broke free from his hold, stepping back a couple steps, “I do”


    He continued. “Your life is important. Do you get that?”


    Cornelia lifted her gaze Meeting his eyes, this was the first time she was this close to him. At that


    moment, all they could see in their eyes was each other His eyes looked serious under his silver


    sses


    He always managed to touch her heart with the simplest words. He probably didn’t know. The more he


    acted like this towards her, the more she wanted to give for him, even willing to sacrifice herself


    Marcus nced at her, “Did they hurt you?”

    Comelia shook her head, “I noticed they were acting strange and ran off immediately. I was fast, so


    they didn’t catch me”


    What if she hadn’t been smart enough to run? What would have happened if those men had caught


    her?


    Marcus didn’t dare to think further, “No matter what happens in the future, remember to contact me


    first.”


    Cornelia nodded, “Okay”


    Just then, a siren wailed in the distance. The police had received a call and dispatched officers from


    the nearby station immediately


    After the officers checked the identities of the men, they told Cornelia, “Miss, we need you toe to


    the station to give a detailed statement.”


    Marcus shielded Cornelia behind him, “Is there a problem?”


    The officer replied, “We just checked these four men’s identities. If we’re not wrong, they might be the


    criminals we’ve been searching for They’re linked to several human traffickings over the past two


    months.”


    Cornelia got goosebumps upon hearing this. Human traffickers these days were bing increasingly


    audacious, even daring to strike in scenic areas. “Alright, I’ll go with you to give a statement, hoping


    these bastards can be brought to justice soon‘


    The officer said, “You can ride with us!


    Marcus refused, “No need, we’ll follow in our car‘


    Cornelia said, “President Hartley, you don’t need to get involved. You should go handle your own


    matters”


    Marcus said, “I’m the one who broke that guy’s arm, how could this not involve me?”


    Cornelia was speechless Why did he have to drag himself into this? But she knew that once Marcus


    made up his mind, there was no changing it. All she could do was silently ept it


    As she was about to leave with him, the boy behind her called out, “Uhh. Can you wait a second?”


    Cornelia turned back, “What’s up?”


    The boy blushed, pointing at the camera in her hand, “The camera, you haven’t returned it to me yet
