Chapter 81
Marcus stared out the window fixedly. Ricos Bridge in the distance was veiled in a nket of mist.
He closed his eyes, his eyebrows creased with annoyance, and he could feel a pang spreading
from his temples.
‘Should I keep the secret away from her for the rest of her life?’
Apparently, it was impossible. Sooner orter, she would find out the truth.
However, ording to the tradition of the Hamertons, he had to choose a woman from the other
three big families as his wife. If Cordelia joined the Hamertons, one could imagine what kind of fate
would be awaiting her.
Most importantly, he was not the real Marcus.
He took a deep breath and pulled Marcus’ ID card out of his pocket. The man on the ID card had
the same face as him, but they were not the same person.
“Z.” Josiah might not be very intelligent, but he was very good at reading other people’s emotions.
“May I suggest you end the “training” earlier? Everything here in Chaisnd is almost finished, and
Freddy and I will help you to take care of the rest. You should go back to your wife. After all, it
seems you miss her a lot.”
Marcus’ expression changed, and he turned around.
This was the first time he had let out a relieved smile ever since he came to Ricos.
Fredric couldn’t help himself and gave Josiah a big thumbs up inwardly. They all smiled at each
other, and just when they were preparing to leave after getting all their stuff ready, Robert came in
and looked at Marcus anxiously.
“Mr. Grist!”
“What happened?”
Robert licked his lips and replied, “I just received news from Jangasas. Ms. Jenner is in trouble!”
…
Cordelia had been in the interrogation room for a day and a night.
There was nothing but four walls in this small room. There was no window, only a door. It exuded a
cold and suffocating gloomy air. The four corners of the ceiling were equipped with cameras
pointing straight at her, and behind the cameras was the surveince room.
The staff could observe her movements from different angles through the big screen in front of
them.
Cordelia’s face was pale. Her eyes were deeply sunken, and her hands clutched tightly at the hem
of her cloth under the table.
“Ms. Jenner, are you still not going to tell us the truth?” The police officer asked sternly, “You won’t
get anything out of it if this continues. It might even destroy your future!”
“I didn’t do it…” This was the answer she gave no matter how many times they asked her.
She had not sold their marketing n to theirpetitor, had not gained any profit from the
transaction, and had not exposed herpany’s proprietary secrets.
However, just a day before, many police officers suddenly came to thepany for an unknown
reason. Then, her director called her into the conference room.
…
“Cordelia, we’ve spent so much effort nurturing you, and this is how you repay us?” The director
smacked the evidence in front of her. It was the marketing n she had been working on recently.
However, nobody knew how, but theirpetitor had gotten their hands on this n. As a result,
they followed the marketing n and released the new product into the market ahead of them,
forcing Bowfest Foreign Trading into a passive position.

In the end, Cordelia was taken away. While she walked down the stairs with her head held low, she
passed by Karine and saw the triumphant and evil look on her face.
…
“I didn’t do it…” Cordelia repeated, her voice shaking and her eyes red.
The two interrogators looked at each other.
The staff behind the screen let out a cold snort and spoke to the people with the inte in a stern
voice. “I heard this woman was promoted shortly after joining thepany. She also forced a
shareholder and a supervisor out of thepany and has an outstanding track record. She isn''t
someone easy to deal with, so be careful!”
The interrogators said, “Ms. Jenner, we have all the evidence, so you''d better tell us the truth.
Besides, the rivalpany has already confessed that you are the one who disclosed the n to
them, and there are cash transactions between you as well.”
