Chapter 602
Marcus, looking down at her, asked, âWho are you looking for tonight?â
It seemed like he already knew the reason why she came to this gathering Seeing as she couldnât hide it from him, Comelia carne clean, âNataliaâ
Marcus asked, âYou donât trust me?â
Comelia replied âNah, itâs not that I need her for something else.â
Marcus said, âGo find whoever you want I got your back, donât worry about anyone elseâ
Cornelia responded, âOkayâ
Leonardo curiously asked, âWhat are you two whispering about? Got some secret we canât know?â
Ryan knew some things, but he couldnât spill the beans. He quickly stopped Leonardo, âEasy Leo, some things are better left unknownâ
Leonardo asked, âWhy?â
Ryan intentionally patted Leonardoâs shoulder heavily and said, âLeo, weâve been together since we were kids. When did you get so nosy?â
Leonardo asked, âWhat are you implying?â
Ryan gave him a helpless look and then said to Marcus and Comelia, âLetâs go inside.â
Leaving Leonardo alone in the breeze.
Cameron returned to Granger with news. Granger asked, âIs this info accurate?â
Cameron replied, âThe woman isnât his wife, just his assistant. The guests havenât seen her before, so they assumed sheâs his wife.â
Granger said, âMarcus is not just crafty, heâs ruthless too. He might have known what weâve been up to all along. We need to figure out how to deal with him ASAP or all our efforts will be wastedâ
Cameron asked wornedly. âSo what do we do now?â
Granger replied. âKeep cool, roll with the punches. Your sister is a vital piece, make sure sheâs put to good useâ
Cameron nodded, âGot it.â He then said, âDad, I noticed that Marcusâ assistant is also weaning a âHeavenly Radianceâ necklaceâ
Granger turned his head in surprise, looking at Clair who was proudly showing off the necklace around her neck to the crowd in the distance. Even without hearing the chatter of the women, he could guess what they were saying They must be complimenting him for buying a $30 million necklace for his wife.
The value of the $30 million necklace lay in its opulence, not its beauty
Cameron was disgruntled that his father splurged $30 million on a necklace for that woman, but now was not the time for infighting. They needed to band together against their common enemy. âDad, want me to stir up some trouble for her?â
Granger looked away. âDo you really think Marcus would buy a $30 million necklace for his assistant?â
Cameron replied, âSo we do nothing and let her be the laughing stock tonight for wearing a fake.â
Granger said, âWe canât just sit back and do nothing. Having someone wearing a fake necklace at our Reese familyâs party, especially when itâs identical to my wifeâs real one, thatâs an insult to me
Cameron said, âSo I quietly ask her to take it off?â
Granger said, âDo you think sheâll listen to you? How sure are you that you can get her to take your advice?â
Cameron felt it was impossible. There was tension between him and Cornelia, and she didnât like him one bit. Moreover, Marcus always protected that woman, making things difficult for him
Granger gave Cameron an annoyed look, âIf we donât embarrass her tonight, itâs the Reese family that will end up humiliatedâ
