    Chapter 1014


    Two years ago, it was exactly the time when she and Jeremy got married. During that period, someone


    was deliberately throwing a wad of cash to tarnish her reputation.


    So, was the cash–thrower someone who knew Marcus? And this person who knew Marcus, wanted to


    push him into a deep pit from which there was no return, and had the power to pull off these wicked


    schemes. Apart from Brennen, Cornelia couldn’t think of a second person


    She asked again, “How did they contact you?”


    The woman replied. “The person was very careful, never contacting us by phone. The person meeting


    us was always changing, and they always arranged to meet in ces without surveince I haven’t


    been able to get a good look at their face”


    Cornelia asked, “Apart from ndering me, did they ask you to do anything else?”


    The woman replied, “No”


    Cornelia continued to ask, “Has he contacted you since Ondo was jailed?”


    The woman shook her head, “No.”


    Cornelia said, “Okay, let’s keep in touch. If he contacts you again, let me know.”


    The woman said, “Cornelia, I’m sorry. My husband is the only one bringing home the bacon in my


    family. He has to support the whole family by himself. I just wanted to bring in a little extra dough, so I


    took the money”


    Cornelia said, “If he gives you money again, just take it”


    The woman said, “If he finds out, he’ll definitely not let me off easily. Even though I haven’t seen his


    face, I can tell from his back that he’s not an easy person to deal with.”


    Cornelia said, “Whatever.”


    The woman said. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”


    Cornelia nodded, watching her leave. Once the woman was far away, she whispered, “You cane


    out now.”


    With her words, Marcus‘ tall figure emerged from behind a nearby bush. He had heard the whole


    conversation between Cornelia and the woman.

    Cornelia asked, “Do you have anyone in mind?”


    Marcus sneered, “Who else could it be?”


    Cornelia thought the same.


    Cornelia asked, “Is he doing this to sway the public opinion and tarnish the Hartley Group when you


    disclose my identity in future?“!


    Marcus said. “He wants to snatch thepany from my hands.”


    Cornelia asked, “Then…”


    Marcus cut her off, “What if I let him have it?”


    Cornelia was taken aback. She was a little angry. “The Hartley Group has grown step by step under


    your management to the scale it has today. You’ve put so much effort Into IL how can you just hand it


    over to him?”


    Marcus said, “I’ve only been managing the Hartley Group for a decade or so. Before I took over, it


    already had a history of nearly a hundred years. There are manyplex matters involved. Even


    though I’ve made a major reshuffle of the internal personnel, there are still some people I couldn’t


    rece due to therge number of employees.


    Cornelia had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen, “Did Brennen find some


    leverage to threaten you, or what?”
