Chapter 640


    Corne said, “Don’t sweat it, I’m not the type to fall for tricks easily You and Abby can go check out


    some renovationpanies, and I’ll get back to you tonight.” -Zack expressed his worry. “No way, I


    can’t have you take that risk. Abby and I can borrow some more money from our parents for the


    renovation


    Cornelia replied, “Your parents need to save some too. Stop borrowing from them already. Even if I


    can’t squeeze a dime out of ir, I still got the dough Jeremy stashed away for me. I can use that for


    now and pay him backter”


    Zack said, “Now that we know Jeremy is Marcus and he’s loaded, we can’t just spend his money like it


    grows on trees. I don’t want you to feel awkward in front of himter.” Cornelia responded, “Rx, I got


    this” Cornelia hadn’t thought about spending Jeremy’s money


    After hanging up, she took out her personal cell and was about to ask Natalia for ir’s contac, but


    then figured Natalia’s phone might have been confiscated if she messaged Natalia, it could cause her


    trouble, so she dropped the idea.


    She then thought for a while and dialed Cameron’s number, but it was busy after several attempts.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Oh right. The Reese Group’s stock price hit a slump right from the get–go, his family must be in a real


    pickle right now.


    Cameron being the president in name, it was only natural for his phone to be blowing up. With the


    Reese family in chaos, they probably wouldn’t have time to bother with Natalia


    Cornelia immediately dialed Natalia’s cell, and it was ir who answered, “Ms. Stewart, how many


    times have I told you not to disturb my daughter? Why are you such a pain in the ass?”


    ir having Natalia’s phone was both unexpected and expected for Cornelia, “Great, I was looking for


    you, not your daughter.”


    ir said, “You’re here to gloat about winning with Marcus‘ help, aren’t you?”


    Cornelia replied. “I don’t have time for that petty stuff. I’m here forpensation. My friends‘ studio


    was wrecked by your people, causing a loss of less than $20,000. Add in the loss of ie and the


    cost of renovation, I’ll give you a discount, a total of $20,000”


    Knowing that Cornelia had no evidence, ir threatened, “Twenty grand is nothing but pocket change


    for me, but it’s a fortune for the likes of you. You think I’m just going to hand it over? Do I look like a


    charity to you?”


    Cornelia chuckled, “Wearing a fake ne, is that a sign of The Reese Group’s downfall? You


    remember that post, don’t you?”


    ir asked, “Was that post your doing?”


    It was that post that revealed her wearing fake jewelry, causing her great embarrassment, which led to


    Granger forbidding her to go out.


    So it was all Cornelia’s doing! Why didn’t she get rid of her sooner!


    Cornelia said, “Mrs. Reese, you have to understand, I didn’t stir up trouble. I just reported what


    happenedst night. And I will report the truth about the vandalism, I may not have solid evidence, but I


    can count on public opinion.”


    With Marcus‘ help, Cornelia indeed could use public opinion to her advantage. The Reese family was in


    a tight spot and couldn’t afford any more hits.


    ir understood this, her voice almost hoarse from fear, “You cunning witch, don’t count your chickens


    before they hatch. Just because Marcus is protecting you now, it doesn’t mean you can do whatever


    you want. Can he do it for a lifetime? You can keep him interested with your youth and charm for now,


    but can you do it forever? Knowing he already has a wife, you still went to his bed, you’re that eager to


    be his bedmate, huh?”
