Chapter 129
After the drugging incident, all her spies in the country were wiped out by Marcus, so she couldnât get any updates on Marcus and Cornelia Surprisingly, the next news about Marcus was that he was already married
Since Marcus announced his marriage, it meant that he already knew his registered wife was his little assistant.
Courtney looked out the window at the snow and sighed. Do we really have to let that good for nothing woman into the Hartley family?
Billy, who was by her side replied, âYou dont have to worry so much. Although our people have been withdrawn, there are definitely others who donât want to see Cornelia succeed, so someone will take care of herâ
âJust say what you know
âDo you remember the Petersen family?â
Courtney nodded
The Petersen family has fallen on hard times these years Thereâs a person named Eden Petersen who used to work in the presidentâs office of the Hartley Group and was the most likely candidate to become President Hartleyâs special assistant, but then Cornelia came along and took the position. Eden has always been resentful about this and tried to pull some tricks on Cornelia, but was caught and sent to jail for a few days. After getting out, Eden even staged a car accident, but Cornelia was lucky enough to survive it.â
At this point, Courtney roughly understood, âLetâs just wait and see. Marchas a big issue with me this time, and if our mother son relationship gets worse, his grandmother will benefit.â
Rightâ
Willy handed over a phone, âMs. Reese is callingâ
Hearing that it was Natalia Reese on the line, Courtneyâs eyes flashed with disgust, but she took the phone anyway.
Natakaâs sweet voice came through, âAuntie, I miss you. When are you coming back to Riverton?â
Courtney had been to Riverton once before, but her visit was so brief that many people didnât know she had been there.
Courtney was extremely impatient, but her voice remained gentle, âDo you miss me or do you want me to help you?â
Natalia playfully replied, âAuntie, donât tease me I just donât understand what Marcus is thinking. His wife has slept with other men, so why would he announce his marriage?â Courtney knew everything, but she couldnât tell the tactless Natalia, âHe doesnât ever tell me his thoughts, so I donât know what heâs thinking either. But donât worry, I only like you in my heartâ
Natalia was still worried, âMarcus is always running around with his little assistant, and Iâve only seen him once since I got back to Riverton We barely even talked â
Courtney was getting more and more impatient, and if it werenât for the Reese family, she wouldnât bother dealing with this stupid girl, âHis assistant has to follow him, why do you need to compete with someone like her? Sheâs not even worthy of being your rival.â
Hearing Courtney say this, Natalia felt more at ease, as if the position of the Hartley Groupâs presidentâs wife was already beckoning her.
They chatted about family matters for a while before hanging up
Courtney handed the phone back to Willy. Try to decline her calls in the future. I donât need to take every single one!
Alrightâ
On Nataliaâs end, she wasnât alone. Her brother, Cameron Reese, was also there.
He had asked her to make the call loud enough for him to hear, so he knew the content of their conversation
Natalia looked at the darkened phone screen and cautiously glanced at Cameron, âWe all know about the relationship between her and Marcus. The more she likes someone, the more Marcus will dislike them. Why do we still have to win her over?â
âAre you questioning my methods?â Cameron slapped Natalia hard across her face. You useless fool, how dare you question me.â
