Chapter 753


    Chapter 753


    No wonder when he used to think Cornelia had a thing for him, President Hartley would act all weird


    and stuff, even made him question. his own looks.


    No wonder nothing he ever said to the president had any effect, while he would listen to whatever


    Comelia said.


    No wonder the president would stay the whole night in Cornelia’s room when she got wasted.


    All the stuff that didn’t make sense before, it all added up now.


    Marcus was still the same Marcus that he knew, someone who was virtuous and had never engaged in


    promiscuous rtionships outside


    Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The two people on the other end of the line were still talking, but Ben didn’t dare eavesdrop anymore.


    He quickly hung up, then pped himself.


    In thest few days, he had cursed them both countless times in his mind, thinking they were such


    jerks. Thankfully, he only cursed in his head, not out loud. Otherwise…


    He quickly ran through thest year in his mind. He hadn’t done anything over the line to Cornelia. Not


    only had he not bullied Cornelia in the past year, but he had also always protected her.


    He felt so relieved!


    Meanwhile.


    Cornelia looked at Marcus with worry written all over his face. She had so much she wanted to say, but


    in the end, she only asked him one question, “Did you see those photos?”


    Marcus nodded, “Yeah.”


    He was typically quick to jealousy, so why was he so calm now, as if he didn’t care at all about those


    pictures, “Those are pictures of me in bed with other men. As my husband, why are you so calm after


    seeing those?”


    Marcus, “Am I calm?”


    He wasn’t calm, not at all! He wished he could immediately rip those who tried to vite her and


    spread rumors to hurt her into pieces. But in front of her, he had to be calm. He wanted her to know this


    wasn’t a big deal, and that he could handle it.


    Cornelia suddenly let out augh, “You saw it. Haven’t you ever doubted, maybe the truth is that I


    seduced someone else’s husband and got caught by their wife?”


    Marcus, “Are you that kind of person?”


    Cornelia, “I’m asking you.”


    Marcus, “I’ve been with you for a year. Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are?”


    Cornelia, “Then what kind of person am I in your eyes?”


    Marcus, “You’re ambitious, optimistic, and you shine wherever you go. You’re always the center of


    attention.”


    Cornelia admitted she was ambitious and optimistic, but she didn’t realize she was the center of


    attention wherever she went. Especially in thest year, after working with Marcus, she felt


    overshadowed by him everywhere she went. Hardly anyone even noticed her. She didn’t expect him to


    think so highly of her.


    Cornelia said again, “You saw them, and so did many others. You can delete all the pictures and


    rumors about me online, but you can’t erase people’s memories. If one day you publicly acknowledge


    me as your wife, I’m sure many people will bring this up again. Then, won’t you feel embarrassed?”


    “Cornelia!” Marcus called her name deeply, “First of all, you need to understand that you’re the victim in


    this situation. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
