    Chapter 861


    Cornelia was puzzled. Why did people naturally me the woman when a man and a woman were


    together, assuming it was the woman who seduced the man?


    In a rtionship, it was impossible for only one person to do something wrong. It was a mistake made


    by two people together, and both should be med, so why did people only me the woman?


    Ynda was so angry her face turned red. “Cornelia, how can you say such outrageous things!”


    Cornelia didn’t have particrly close colleagues at work. She was somewhat close with Ynda, but


    not close enough to share everything with her. If Ynda thought she was outrageous, then so be it.


    Cornelia turned to leave, but Ynda got desperate. “Cornelia, aren’t you afraid I’ll make the video


    public and let everyone in thepany see your true colors?”


    Cornelia turned back and smiled slightly. “If you dared to release the video, you would have done it


    already. Why would you wait till now? So, what’s your real agenda?”

    Cornelia’s calm demeanor made Ynda doubt herself for a moment. “Is there something going on


    between you and President Hartley? Did he force you? If so, tell me, and I’ll delete the video and never


    bring it up again.”


    But when Ynda began to use Marcus, Cornelia wouldn’t have it. “He never forced me. Everything


    was voluntary.”


    “So, there’s no misunderstanding.” Ynda said. “You’re a homewrecker.”


    Cornelia neither admitted nor denied it. She was satisfied seeing Ynda’s rage.


    “Rumors about you seducing other women’s husbands back in your hometown are all over the inte,


    and it seems you haven’t changed,” Ynda said.


    Corneliaughed coldly.


    “Why don’t you respect yourself, even though you have the ability?” Ynda asked.


    “Cut the cra p. What do you want me to do?” Cornelia asked.


    “You resign immediately and leave the Hartley Group. Give up the position that wasn’t supposed to be


    yours in the first ce, and let the person who should have it reim it,” Ynda said.


    “The person who should have the position, is that you?” Corneliaughed. “In the assessment, I won


    with a clear advantage. Your scoresbined were still lower than mine. If someone as excellent as


    me is not worthy to be President Hartley’s secretary, then who is?”


    Ynda was taken aback, but quickly responded, “I used to admire you because I thought you got this


    position through your abilities. Now I don’t, because I was wrong. All along, it was your rtionship with


    President Hartley, not your abilities.”


    That was exactly why Cornelia didn’t want Marcus to reveal their rtionship. She had earned her


    position through hard work, but if people found out about her deeper rtionship with Marcus, they


    would assume she got this position due to a special rtionship, negating all her previous efforts.


    “You know best whether I relied on a special rtionship,” Cornelia didn’t want to say much, and turned


    to leave.


    Just as she took a few steps, she received a message from Marcus. “I’ve sent breakfast over,e to


    my office and let’s eat together.”


    Cornelia replied, “Okay.”


    When Cornelia arrived at his office, which had a sp ac ious suite including a bedroom, a living room,


    and so on, Marcus had already set breakfast on the dining table in the living room. “Come and eat.”


    Cornelia sat down next to him and started eating without a word.


    Seeing her mood, Marcus reached out and touched her head. “What’s wrong? What happened?”


    After finishing the food in her mouth, Cornelia spoke slowly, “When you chose me as your assistant out


    of three candidates, you didn’t know I was your wife, did you?”
