    Chapter 690


    Comelia asked, “Marcus, where are your grandmas staying now? Give me the address, and I’ll drive


    there right away.”


    Marcus replied, “You’re not driving today.”


    Comelia said, “Then I’ll call a cab.”


    Marcus asked, “What’s wrong with my car?”


    Cornelia, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched her head, “I don’t want others to see.”


    Marcus retorted, “Haven’t you been in my car before?”


    Comelia replied, “Yes, I have, but.” Before, she hadn’t thought much about it and felt quite at ease. But


    now, she felt a bit guilty and felt that everyone was giving her strange looks.


    However, Marcus didn’t give her a chance to back down. He reached out his long arm and picked her


    up.


    Suddenly lifted off the ground, Cornelia let out a scream and instinctively clung to his neck; fearful of


    falling.


    Marcus chuckled, carrying her towards the CEO’s private elevator.


    Knowing that he was holding her securely, Cornelia rxed. She struggled a bit, “Marcus, put me


    down, I can walk. If our coworkers are still here and they see us like this, how am I supposed to face


    them? Can I still work here?”


    Her voice waspletely different; it sounded so soft, so sweet. Upon hearing this, Marcus felt a rush


    of warmth, “If they see, so be it. I’m here, and you have nothing to fear.”

    Cornelia lightly tapped his chest with her finger, “You’re not scared, but I am!”


    Her unintentional tap made Marcus grunt. He said in a low voice, “Until you fully ept me, you better


    not move, or else.”


    Their conversation faded away in the elevator, and Ynda emerged from the shadows, a video freshly


    recorded on her phone.


    Ynda hadn’t expected to record anything, but she had.


    She stared at the video, listening to Cornelia’s sweet voice that was so different from her professional


    tone at work. She was watching as Cornelia clung to Marcus’s neck, so unreservedly affectionate.


    Ynda’s face twisted. Turning off the video, she realized she had scratched her palm with her


    fingemails.


    Marcus drove Cornelia to the old Hartley family mansion.


    Since Granny Luisa moved to Southern Summer Garden, no one had lived in the Hartley family


    mansion. Although no one lived there, it was cleaned and maintained daily. The house was still very


    clean.


    This was Cornelia’s first visit to the Hartley family mansion, and she was visiting as the Hartley family’s


    daughter–inw.


    The Hartley family mansion was located in Riverton’s oldest wealthy district, where there were no new


    houses for sale, no matter how much money people had.


    The residents of this vi district were all very wealthy. There were absolutely no nouveau riche without


    manners, the environment was great and the whole vi district was like a park.


    The car drove along the winding road shaded by green trees, finally stopping in front of the gate of the


    Hartley family mansion.


    Before Cornelia could get out of the car, she saw two rows of people in the yard, each holding a red


    banner that read, “Wee home, Mrs. Hartley!”
