Chapter 675


    Chapter 675


    Who would believe that a mosquito bite could leave such a huge mark? No one dared to question it,


    though


    But noticing the strange lock in both Marcus and Comelia’s eyes they decided that there must be some


    secret between the President and his assistant


    The elevator quickly arrived at the floor whem the President’s office was located. As soon as she


    stepped out of the elevator, Cornelia immediately contacted Dr Lester “Dr. Lester, are you there yet”


    Dr Lester replied “Comelia, I’m really sorry, but I might be a bitte”


    Cornelia heard some noise on Dr. Lester’s end. “What’s going on?”


    Dr Lester replied “After receiving your message. I packed up and headed straight to the Hartley


    Group’s headquarters. I should have been there by now But on the way, my car’s brakes suddenly


    failed and I hit the car in front of me. I’m dealing with the ident right now?


    Comelia sensed something. Your brakes failed?”


    Dr Lester replied, “Yes, I just had them servicedst month. This shop is really unreliable”


    Dr. Lester’s answer confirmed Cornelia’s suspicion, Dr. Lester, President Hartley can wait, just be


    careful. Where are you now? I’ll send someone to find you”


    Dr. Lester replied, “Don’t worry, I can handle this little problem”


    Comelia said, “Okay just be safe”


    The elevator malfunction, Dr. Lester’s brake failure, these seemingly coincidental events definitely had


    issues behind them.


    After the call ended, Cornelia rushed into the President’s office, “President Hartley, I suspect the


    elevator failure was intentionally caused The Hartley Group always takes safety seriously and the


    elevators are regrly maintained, especially the ones for the President. They are checked daily. In


    theory, there shouldn’t be any sudden malfunctions, unless


    Before she could finish, she noticed Marcus was on the phone

    Marcus was standing by the window, giving some instructions over the phone. After he finished, he


    turned to look at Cornelia.


    Cornelia asked him, ‘Do you also suspect the elevator was tampered with?”


    Marcus looked at Cornelia, his eyes full of admiration, “Yes, I’ve already had someone look into it. We’ll


    know soon whether it was human intervention.”


    Marcus was indeed extraordinary. Despite the shock he had just received, he was able to recover his


    composure in no time and even arranged for people to investigate the


    incident


    Cornelia asked him. ‘Could it be the Reese family?


    Marcusughed, “Silly girl, they have never been a match for me”


    Other than the Reese family, Cornelia had a vague idea who it could be but she wasn’t sure, President


    Hartley, I suspect our opponent knows you and the people around you very well. It must be someone


    you’re familiar with. Dr. Lester’s brakes failed on his way to thepany, I think that was also


    deliberate”


    Marcus knew exactly who the opponent was, but he didn’t want Cornelia to worry too much, “It doesn’t


    matter who the opponent is. All you need to know is that no one dares to hurt you, you’re safe”


    Hearing this, Cornelia was furious. “Do you think I care who the opponent is only because I’m worried


    for myself? Yes, I admit I’m a scaredy–cat, I do get scared. But what I’m more worried about is


    something happening to you.”


    He had no idea how worried she was when he was having trouble breathing in the elevator She was


    terrified that something would happen to him, that he would leave her just like her father did


    Marcus said, “Nothing’s gonna happen to me, don’t worry”
