Chapter 192
He told her to go back home so naturally that anyone who didnât know better would think they were married.
Cornelia declined, âPresident Hartley, I am sorry for causing you so much trouble 111 just go homeâ
1 promised a friend Iâd take care of you. If you donât go, are you trying to make me lose my trust with my friends? Marcus didnât want to force her into anything, but he didnât feel good about leaving her alone in her rented apartment
She used to be safe living with her friends, but now that people knew she was his wife, some might try to use her against him
She was kidnapped by Eden because he was careless. He wouldnât allow anything like that to happen again
His firm tone annoyed Cornelia, âIâm an adult, not a child who needs looking after. Didnât Jeremy think to ask for my opinion before entrusting me to you? How strange is it for a grown man
to entrust his wife to another man?â
It did seem pretty weird, so Marcus relented. Tve had your stuff moved back to Reese Mansion. If you really want to go back to your rented place, Iâll have them send it over*
Thank you. President Hartley!â Cornelia said
âDo you need a lift?â Marcus asked.
âNo need to trouble yourself. I have some stuff to take care of before going home.â Cornelia hadnât forgotten about Eden. She had to make copies of her evidence and send them cut
What do you need to do? Do you need my help?â Marcus asked
She trusted him, so she told him the truth, 1 need to go to the police station to hand over the recording. I want the police to know that Eden has done way more than just what he did to
me
Whatever Eden did, the police will sort it out. He might end up in jail for the rest of his life. You wonât have to fear him anymore, Marcus assured her
Edenâs crimes were enough to get him locked up for life, but Cornelia was worried about the Petersen family stepping in, âHe said he had the Petersen family backing him up, and no one would dare touch him.â
âIs that so?â Marcus chuckled before dialing Ayden, âAyden, if the Petersens are still here, ask them to come in.â
The Petersen family had arrived the night before and didnât dare leave without seeing Marcus. When they heard Marcus calling for them, they hurried over.
Matt Petersen was even older than Marcusâs father and was a big shot outside, but he had to be deferential in front of Marcus, âMarc, I heard about last night. Eden is my cousinâs son, yes, but he needs to be punished by the law for his outrageous actionsâ
Matt had waited all night to clarify the Petersen familyâs stance. He wanted Marcus to know that Edenâs actions were his alone and had nothing to do with the Petersen family. He hoped Marcus wouldnât misunderstand the Petersen family because of Eden.
The Hartley family and the Petersen family had been friends for decades. As long as the Petersen family wasnât involved with Eden, Marcus had no plans to fault them, âMr. Matt, since youâve said as much, Iâll leave Edenâs case to the police. We wonât interfereâ
Hearing what Marcus said, Matt was finally relieved, and the smile on his face became more sincere. This time, your people were wronged. You decide how to handle it. If thereâs anything you need in the future, just let me know.â
âOkay, letâs go slowly.â Marcus didnât want to waste any words and sent them off. Ryan, who came with Matt, didnât get to say a word.
In such a situation. Ryan knew it wasnât the time for personal feelings, so he left with Matt.
âMr. Ryan, please wait a moment Cornelia said suddenly, which shocked the Petersen family father and son.
