Chapter 563
Seeing that highâandâmighty WhatsApp reply. Comelia slowly understood why Natalia was so hell bent on marrying Marcus.
With such a snobbish mother and distorted values instilled in her from a young age, it was pretty impressive that Natalia was able to stay the way she was.
Cornelia let out a laugh and immediately blocked the number Sheâd never thought about brown nosing anyone, let alone Natalia Sheâd only reached out to Natalia this time because after seeing Marcus last night, especially when he suddenly woke up from his stupor, calling her name and tightly holding her hand, she had her doubts.
Maybe Marcus wasnât lying to her, and he genuinely wanted to spend his life with her as Jeremy.
He really seemed to want to spend his life with her and knowing him after a year, he wouldnât mess around with other women.
So, that day when Marcus slept with Natalia, it could have been under unclear consciousness or some other special circumstances. As for the exact reason, the other person involved, Zavier, should know bestâ¦
After some thought, Cornelia dialed Zavierâs number. As soon as the call went through, he picked up almost immediately, like heâd been waiting for her call, âMs. Stewart, what can I do for you?â
He guessed her intentions, which saved her a lot of trouble, âMr. Rivera, what exactly did you do to my President Hartley at Riverside Terrace Club that night? That made him sleep with Natalia in an unclear state of mind.â
Zavier chuckled, âOh, my President Hartleyâ, quite a personal term.â
Cornelia, âMr. Rivera, Iâm asking you a serious question.â
Zavier, âWas your President Hartley out of his mind that night? Did you see or hear anything off about him?â
Cornelia, âMr. Rivera, did you do something to him?â
Zavier, âWhat did I do? Please enlighten me, Ms Stewart I have no idea what Iâve done.â
Zavier was wasting Corneliaâs time by playing dumb. She cut to the chase, âDid you drug my President Hartley that night?â
Zavier, âTell me where Skyler is, and Iâll tell you what I did to Marc that night.â
Cornelia, âI donât know where Skyler is. Mr. Rivera, if you truly love Skyler, let her be free, donât imprison her like a petâ
Zavierâs voice dropped, clearly not pleased, âSince when is it your place to tell me what to do?â
Cornelia, âAlright, if you wonât talk, thatâs fine. Iâll just ask my President Hartley directly
Zavier, âAsk your President Hartley? Youâre just his assistant, not his wife. Does he owe you an explanation about his affairs?â
Zavier knew Corneliaâs straightforward style. If she decided to do something, she might directly ask Marcus. His mission was to prevent Cornelia from seeking Marcus. Otherwise, his plans would be wasted.
Without giving Cornelia any time to respond, he asked, âWhy do you believe that Marcâs relationship with Natalia occurred when he was not sober?â
Cornelia replied, âIâve been with him for a year, I understand his personality.â
Zavier said, âIâm really envious that Marc has a friend and assistant like you. Youâre so beautiful and always by Marcâs side, doesnât his wife feel threatened?â
Cornelia said, âThatâs none of your concern. If you donât want to tell me, Iâll hang up.â
Zavier said, âItâs not a secret. Since you want to know, Iâll tell you.â
Cornelia didnât respond, waiting for him to talk.
Zavier said, âThat night, I gave Marc some drugs. The dosage was heavy, making him lose control of himself, and he ended up with the woman I arranged.â
Cornelia asked, âDid Natalia willingly sleep with him, or were you forcing her?â
Zavier said, âNataliaâs feelings for Marc are nothing new. Why would I force her? If sheâs willing to sleep with him, there are plenty of women lining up to do the same. Iâm not that evil to force a weak womanâ
