Chapter 199
âAccuse Cornelia of stealing just because of some disagreement?â Marcusâs icy voice came through the phone, âCameron, keep your Reese family in check. If she dares to lay a finger on Cornelia again, I wonât let her off the hookâ
After saying this, Marcus hung up the phone Cameron, listening to the dial tone, felt his face getting darker and darker, anger making him smash his phone
He and Marcus were born in the same year, he was even a few months older than Marcus. They were both heirs of their families, but because the Hartley Group had been doing better and better under Marcusâs leadership, he had been at a disadvantage.
He couldnât stand it
He wanted Marcus to kneel before him one day. So he tried many ways to change the status quo, but all to no avail. Instead, he pushed himself and the Reese Group towards a crisis
Cameronâs frustration lessened considerably when he saw Natalia kneeling in the garden.
Outside, he had to put up with Marcusâs mood, but in this house, he was the absolute ruler.
If he said to Natalia to go left, Natalia wouldnât dare to turn right.
Whatever he said. Natalia would obediently do, never daring to disobey his orders
Meanwhile, Cornelia and her friends Abigail and Zack, were discussing renovation matters at home.
Although the house was fully furnished, they still needed to put in some effort for the wardrobe and the overall home decor style.
Zack, feeling overwhelmed, suggested, âHow about we find a reliable interior designer and let them take full charge?â
They were all busy with work and didnât have much time to think about the renovation. Cornelia thought it was a good idea, Then letâs find a reputable independent designer in the next few daysâ
âAlright.â Abigail agreed. Letâs stop the renovation talk for today. Letâs go change and go out for dinnerâ
âOkayâ Cornelia headed back to her room. Her phone on the bedside table chimed with a new message.
It was from Jeremy, âCornelia, have you had dinner yet?â
Cornelia replied, âIâm about to go out for dinner with friends. How about you?â
Jeremy. âDress warmly when you go out, donât catch a coldâ
Cornelia, âGot it.â
Jeremy. âDid anything fun happen today? Share it with me?â
Cornelia replied. âNothing fun happened, but something did happen. Itâs a long story. If you have time to listen, Iâll tell you.â
Jeremy, Tm all earsâ
Since Jeremy was willing to listen to these trivial matters, Cornelia was also willing to share, Today I went to FurniMart with my friends and ran into Natalia, who accused us of stealing her necklace. Luckily, I cleverly defused the situation. Unexpectedly, someone recorded our confrontation and posted it online, causing quite a stir The Reese Groupâs stock even fell because of it
Jeremy. âDonât worry about the Reese family. With Marcus there, they wouldnât dare to do anything to you.â
Cornelia. âWhy are you bringing up another man while weâre chatting? Even though Marcus is awesome, heâs just my boss. I canât depend on him for everything.â
After sending this message, Cornelia waited for a while, but she didnât receive a reply from Jeremy
