    Cornelia answered, “I don’t want to


    Asking Comelia to refer her superior, whom she had worked for a year, as her husband did indeed


    make her feel a bit ufortable and was difficult to adapt to


    Marcus had topromise, “Then call me Jeremy”


    “Jeremy! Jeremy Comelia called out twice, feeling this name was much better, “Where are we going


    now?”


    Marcus drove off the highway. “You’ll know when we get there


    Cornelia asked, “Why do you go by Jeremy?”


    Marcus nced at her. “That’s a long story, do you want me to take my time and tell you?”


    Cornelia quickly nodded, “Of course I do”


    Although he had been her supenor for a year, and her husband for two, Cornelia knew very little about


    him. She wanted to know more about him, including his childhood which he was reluctant to bring up


    She was willing to listen, and Marcus was happy, so he began to tell his story. “The Hartley Group


    originally started as a handmade clothing shop. My great grandfather was so good at making clothes


    that he was chosen as the first designer in Riverton, and became famous overnight. Everyone was


    proud to wear his clothes.


    “His clothes were in high demand, and prices were sky high in the market


    “He seized the business opportunity and opened a clothing factory From then on, the foundations for


    the now massive Hartley Group wereid


    “However, my great grandfather was always an artist at heart, and he cared more about making good


    clothes than making more money


    “The thriving development of the Hartley Group was during the time when my grandfather and


    grandmother were running it


    “My grandfather, who always wanted to make money, met ady from the Artis family who wanted to


    expand the family business. They were business rivals at first and didn’t see eye to eye But after


    several encounters, they began to appreciate each other, and eventually became a family


    Both my grandparents were very determined people. Under their efforts, the Hartley Group grew


    stronger each day and gradually became the top family in Riverton”


    Cornelia asked in surprise, “So Granny Luisa is our Hartley Group’s co–founder?”


    Marcus chuckled “Don’t you think she fits the part?”


    “I didn’t recognize her Every employee of the Hartley Group knew one of the founders, Luisa. Not only


    was she the wife of the previous CEO, her deeds were also legendary Without her, there would be no


    Hartley Group today


    Cornelia had never thought the kind and gentle Granny Luisa she knew would be the legendary figure


    of the Hartley Group, Luisa


    The Hartley Group had an introduction to Luisa’s life and achievements, along with a picture, but the


    picture was of her when she was young, very different from the Granny Luisa Cornelia had met, so


    Cornelia didn’t recognize her


    Marcus gently said, “It’s okay, it’s never toote to know”


    Comelia said, “Keep going, I want to hear more about grandpa and grandma.”


    As he continued, Marcus’s eyes became somewhat mncholic, “Grandpa and grandma expanded the


    scope of the Hartley Group together, but due to his long–term overwork, grandpa’s health became very


    weak. Hisst few years were spent on the sickbed.


    “During those years, he felt very depressed. He couldn’t get out of bed to work, and he felt that his


    existence was just a burden to grandma.


    “Grandma had to take care of thepany and him. He thought his absence would make grandma’s


    life easier.

    “One day, after grandma left, he ended his life in an extreme way…


    Upon hearing this, tears uncontrobly slid down Cornelia’s cheeks, one by one, like pearls falling off a


    string unstoppable.


    Marcus was very womed and quickly pulled over, “Cornelia, what’s wrong? Tell me what happened?”
