    Stepping out of the club, Cornelia immediately asked Jeremy, “Does Courtney really n to kidnap


    Hope?”

    Jeremy sped her hand tightly, his voice carrying a hint of bitter raspiness. “Cornelia, I’m sorry.”


    Cornelia knew why he was apologizing. Her heart ached as she opened her arms and held him tightly.


    “Jeremy…”


    He thought she was worried about Hope and gently stroked her back. “I promised to keep you and our


    child safe. Hope will be okay. Don’t be scared.”


    “With you around, I know Hope will be fine. I’m not scared; I’m just hurt.” Cornelia took his hand and


    cupped it against her face. “Jeremy, don’t ever me yourself for anything Courtney does.”


    “Cornelia…” Jeremy hadn’t expected her to say that. No, he should have anticipated it. Cornelia had


    always been so understanding. Despite all she had been through, she was like a little ray of sunshine,


    illuminating his life path and warming his world.


    She looked at him and said, “Courtney is Courtney, and you are you. You are twopletely separate


    entities. The Marcus she birthed is dead. Now, you are a reborn Jeremy, with no ties to her.”e2


    Jeremy nodded. “Yeah.”


    Cornelia held his hands tight. “Leave Courtney to me. I won’t let her disrupt our lives or threaten Hope’s


    safety.”


    Jeremy responded, “I can handle it.”


    Cornelia insisted, “Jeremy, trust me.”


    He looked at her, saw the determination in her eyes, and nodded. “Okay”


    Cornelia gave him a reassuring smile. “Let’s go home.”


    Jeremy agreed, “Alright.”


    Cornelia sneakily nced back.


    Courtney, a mother, had never fulfilled her maternal duties to her son, Marcus, and daughter, Briana.


    Previously, Courtney had a share of the Hartley Group’s dividends. The annual dividends were


    massive, enough for her to squander with her lover and their children.


    After the copse of the Hartley Group, Courtney lost her dividends, effectively cutting off all her


    sources of ie, and making it impossible to maintain hervish lifestyle. Without money, everything


    became difficult. Many of her long-time henchmen had left her, and there were few who still wanted to


    stay by her side.


    When her situation worsened, she finally remembered her son, Marcus. Lately, she’d been clinging to


    Marcus like an unwanted ghost. She wanted him to acknowledge her again, hoping to benefit from him.


    Cornelia was well aware of all this.


    Jeremy’s approach was to avoid Courtney, no matter how hard she looked for him. But Cornelia


    believed that avoidance wasn’t the best solution. She was determined to have Marcus meet Courtney


    and finally give up on her, pushing her away so she could no longer disrupt their family life.


    She originally nned to use her dispute with Courtney to make Jeremy give up on herpletely.


    She had never expected that Courtney would make the first move. Well, then, she had no choice but to


    be a ruthless daughter-inw then.
