Chapter 441

Another netizen chimed in, “That was my first thought when I saw the picture too. President Hartley’s pose in the photo is definitely protective of the woman in front of him. From a psychological perspective, this pose could be interpreted in two ways. One, he wants to protect her from harm. Two, he has a strong sense of possession and doesn’t want other men getting close to his woman.”

Someone excitedly exclaimed, “Oh my God, President Hartley is so in love with his wife.”

“I can’t believe I’m getting drawn in by President Hartley’s affectionate behavior towards his wife. They are such a perfect couple.”

“Ice Cold” sighed, “If I had met Marcus before she did, maybe I’d be the one enjoying his tenderness now. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world, all I can do is watch him gaze lovingly at another woman.”

“Hottie4me” soothed, “Don’t be sad, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that you didn’t end up with him. Being single gives you the chance to meet a better man, and to appreciate every hot guy without any reservations.”

In general, the buzz around the Hartley couple kept getting hotter. Not only had netizens learned about President Hartley’s deep love for his wife, but businesses working with the Hartley Group were also trying to dig up information about Mrs. Hartley.

If a woman could earn his affection to this extent, she could likely influence his business decisions. Winning her over might be a smart move, as she could put in a good word for them at a crucial moment.

Abigail glanced at Cornelia and Marcus sitting on her right..

There were no seats between them, but they were sitting quite far apart, clearly trying to avoid any suspicion. Nonetheless, Abigail felt, that Marcus’s gaze on Cornelia was full of affection, as if she were his wife, not just an ordinary assistant

Abigail thought she must have been reading too many romance novels, to be constantly fantasizing about Marcus and his assistant.

“Abby, why aren’t you eating?” Cornelia pushed a seafood platter towards her, “These are your favorite shrimps, made with live ones. They’re really fresh, try some.”

Just as Abigail was about to eat a shrimp, she felt a chill on her neck. Looking up, she met Marcus’s icy stare, who seemed quite displeased with Comelia’s intimacy towards her.

Abigail had never seen such a frightening look on Marcus. She was scared and quickly declined, “Nelly, I can eat on my own, you don’t

need to fuss over me.”

Before the party ended. Steven Dixon, who had seen the news, called, “Marc, congrats, you’re finally with the one you love.”

Marcus replied, “Not quite yet.”

Steven said, “You’ve already posted a picture of you two, haven’t you told her your true identity yet?”

Marcus responded, “No.”

Steven said, “So, you’re creating a buzz online and steering public opinion, all to pave the way for Cornelia? You want not just your family to accept her, but the whole world to know she’s Mrs. Marcus?”

It must be said, Steven and Marcus were indeed of the same mind. Where others couldn’t guess Marcus’s intentions, Steven hit the nail on the head, “I didn’t know you were so cunning.”
