Chapter 853


    Marcus stormed into the meeting room out of the blue, his fury effectively silencing everyone present.


    Everyone couldn’t figure out how President Hartley, who had been all smiles in the morning, could


    be so enraged, like a monster, in such a short period of time. But they all promptly stood up,


    “President Hartley…”


    Marcus shot everyone a cold look before taking his seat at the head of the table. “Carry on!”


    As he sat there, doing absolutely nothing, everyone in the room began to stutter with nerves. Ben was


    closest to Marcus, thus the most likely to suffer from his wrath. He had to figure out why Marcus was


    angry to dodge any potential fallout. So, when no one was looking, Ben sneakily sent a message to


    Cornelia, “Cornelia, SOS!”


    It took Cornelia a while to reply, “What’s up?”


    Ben, “Do you know why President Hartley is angry?”

    Cornelia, “I’ve been on a break recently, not with President Hartley. How would I know why he’s angry?”


    Ben, “We’re all colleagues here, just tell me straight.”


    In his mind, he thought, “I know you’re his wife, what’s with the act?”


    After he sent it, Cornelia didn’t return the message. So, he guessed that President Hartley’s happiness,


    as well as his anger, had something to do with Cornelia


    Since when did Cornelia have such a big influence on President Hartley? Before, President Hartley


    never had anything to do with women. No one could sway his moods and it was rare to see him visibly


    happy or angry.


    But Cornelia was different.


    Women, what iprehensible creatures! And marriage, even more so!


    He was relieved that he didn’t want to get married, so he didn’t have to deal with such puzzling beings.


    After handing Marcus’ car over to the insurancepany, Cornelia caught a cab to the Mercedes


    dealership to meet Zack. By the time she arrived, Zack was done test-driving and was haggling over


    the price with the salesman.


    After a few rounds of negotiation, Cornelia generously bought the car. The whole process was wrapped


    up in less than two hours.


    Once he got the new car, Zack didn’t even want to look at the old one. He told the salesman, “I’m


    taking the new one. Leave the old one here. I’ll pick it upter.”


    The salesman smiled, “Sure.”


    Zack was in a great mood driving the new car, “Cornelia, let’s go for a spin, then I’ll pick up Abby from


    the train station and we can go for some BBQ.”


    Cornelia, “Ok.”


    Zack, “How about the beach near Harmony Hills Estates?”
