Chapter 1487

Cornelia gently patted Tahlia’s back. “Tahlia, I’ve got the whole picture now. I misunderstood you before. I’m sorry.”

Tahlia, wiping her tears, said, “You don’t need to apologize. As long as you still accept me as your sister, that’s enough for me.”

Cornelia tenderly wiped her tears. “Of course I accept you, quit the doom and gloom talk. After work today, I’ll take you to see your little nephew.”

Tahlia, wiping her tears, responded cheerfully, “Okay. I bet my nephew must be adorable. Does he look like you or my brother-in-law?”

Cornelia answered; “He looks more like your brother-in-law, and he’s absolutely adorable.”

Tahlia then asked, “Are you guys planning on having a second child? If so, a daughter who looks like you would be wonderful…”

Hearing Tahlia’s expectations all about her, Cornelia felt a pang of sadness, and ruffled Tahlia’s hair, “You silly girl, why are you so naively sweet?”e2

Tahlia responded, “I’m not silly.”

Cornelia continued, “Not silly? Then why did you agree to your brother-in-law’s request? You must have known it would lead to me misunderstanding you, even disliking you.”

Tahlia explained, “It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. I wanted to test if your husband’s love for you was as strong as it seemed. I was afraid he might have duped you with someone else, and then you’d really fall into a trap…”

Cornelia comforted her. “You can’t do things like that anymore. Where have you been living recently?”

Tahlia responded, “I’m currently living in an apartment arranged by the company. Jones organized it for me.”

Cornelia asked, “Jones?”

Tahlia nodded. “Yes, that’s him. You may not know, but besides the time when your husband and I deceived you, I’ve been working with Jones the rest of the time. He often compliments me, saying I’m like you and have great potential.”

Cornelia said, “That means you’re doing well in your work.”

Tahlia responded, “Yes, I’ve applied everything I’ve learned to my work. My annual salary isn’t small, and it covers my monthly mortgage.”

Cornelia asked, “You bought a house?”

Tahlia explained, “The Reese Group went bankrupt, the Reeses were arrested for crimes, and Cameron fled. The money was in my account, and I’ve severed ties with the Reese family, so the money wasn’t confiscated. I used that money to buy a house, even though it hasn’t been handed over yet. After it’s handed over at the end of the year, I’ll do some minor renovations, and then I’ll have own house.”

Seeing Tahlia’s growth, Cornelia felt relieved. “You’re doing very well. It’s been over a year, and you’ve become more independent.”

Tahlia said, “It’s all because of you. I’ve been imitating you; and I truly believe in every word you told me, which has made me better.”

Cornelia responded, “It’s because you’re excellent yourself.”

Tahlia said, “Even if excellent, I still need recognition. If being constantly belittled, after a while, I wouldn’t know if I.can still work and earn money.”

Cornelia opened her arms and hugged her. “Everything will get better from now on!”

Tahlia said, “Yeah, everything will get better.”

Seeing Cornelia again and Cornelia still remembering her as her sister, was the best thing ever. All the anticipation and pain were worth it. After meeting the staff in the secretary’s office, Jeremy took Cornelia to meet the company’s executives, all of whom were old acquaintances whom Cornelia used to work with. This included the aforementioned Jones.

Jones was in his forties, had a loving family, was loyal to Jeremy, and Jeremy trusted him greatly, putting him in charge of the company’s operations.

However, as Jeremy’s health improved, there were still some matters that required his personal attention.

Everything about the company remained the same; only the name had changed.
