Chapter 579
Just ended a video call, and Corneliaâs WhatsApp got a new friend request
She clicked it right away. It was a friend request from Natalia, who she had deleted before. There was a message attached, âCornelia, seems like my mom is planning something against you. I canât stop her, so just watch your back.â
Her mom was about to make a move on a stranger, and she even came to warn this stranger.
Comelia suddenly thought Natalia could be quite sweet at times. She accepted her friend request, added her back, and asked [Why does your mom wanna mess with me? Just because you wanna be friends with me?]
Natalia sent a flurry of messages. She doesnât need a reason to mess with someone. Cornelia, my phone will be confiscated soon. You must remember what Iâm gonna tell you next. Today, I heard my mom talking on the phone with a stranger. I didnât pay much attention, until she mentioned your name, saying she wants to kick you out of Riverton. I donât know how sheâs gonna do it, but I gotta warn you. Sheâs pretty ruthless, and never leaves a way out for herself. You gotta be on guard in the coming days. I donât want you to be kicked out.â
Cornelia frowned: [Your mom wants to kick me out of Riverton?]
Was Clair really that vindictive?
Just because she didnât like Clairâs arrogant attitude and spoke against her a couple of times, Clair was planning to kick her out of Riverton?
Natalia replied. [Yes, and she seems pretty confident about it. Cornelia, maybe you should ask Marc for help. If Marc is willing to help you, my mom definitely canât touch you]
Mentioning Marcus, Cornelia quickly realized the crux of the matter.
Clair knew she was Marcusâ assistant, knowing that she was not someone anyone could touch. Yet, Clair was still confident about kicking her out of town, there must be something fishy.
But Cornelia couldnât figure out exactly what it was.
Natalia sent another long message: [Once, someone tried to seduce my dad. I saw my mom abort that womanâs child, then got rid of her. Sheâs really ruthless. Even thinking about it now scares me. You must be careful]
Natalia was as anxious as an ant on a hot tin roof. But Cornelia was completely calm, and asked an irrelevant question: Why did you lie to me?]
Natalia: I didnât lie to you, itâs true. My mom really wants to harm you]
Cornelia: [I was asking why you lied to me about sleeping with Marcus?]
Natalia paused for a few seconds before replying: [Since you already know, I wonât hide it. That day was all a hoax set up by Mr. Rivera from the Capital. Iâve never even held Marcâs hand, let alone sleep with him. But now is not the time for this, Iâll tell you more when I get a chance. Today, I contacted you to warn you to be careful of my mom.]
What Natalia said was almost identical to Corneliaâs guess. She said. [You can tell me now I want to know the specifics of that day]
Natalia replied: [That day. Mr. Rivera had me made up to look like you and meet Marc. The makeup artists were so skilled that even I thought I was you when I looked in the mirror When I met Marc, the room was dimly lit. He was not only drunk but also drugged. He naturally mistook me for you. Then Mr. Rivera arranged for us to go back to the room to rest. When I was helping Marc undress, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked me who I was. My cover was blown and then he left with his people. Marc hadnât been gone long when Mr. Rivera brought in another man. I was startled when I saw him, thinking Marc had come back. Because the manâs face was exactly like Marcâs. But his height was off, so I inferred he wasnât Marc. He must have been made up to look like Marc by the makeup artist, just like me.]
