Chapter 61
Bitch? Marcus locked at Courtney with an icy stare as if looking at a stranger. No one could tell that they were mother and son
When Marcus looked at Courtney, she couldnât even lock eyes with him.
This man before her was her son. The one she had given birth to after carrying him for ten months. She hadnât cared for him since he was young, so they were estranged. He was nothing
like her
Everyone has the right to criticize her, but not you. I know what you did all these years. And if you mess with my people again, I donât mind showing you what Iâm capable of âWith that. Marcus turned and left. Spending another second with Courtney would make him nauseous.
âMarc, did you come all this way today just to warn me not to get close to your assistant?â Courtney said, testing her son.
Marcus didnât answer her, but Courtney got the answer she wanted anyway.
He had not heard her entire conversation with Helena. If he knew his wife and assistant were the same person, he wouldnât act like this right now!
Maybe he didnât have feelings for his assistant. He came to look for her only because she had reached out to his people.
He was similar to her even if he had to discard his things, he would never give them to others.
As soon as Marcus left, Courtney returned to her arrogant posture âWilly, he knows weâre going after his little assistant. Handle this discreetly, and donât involve us.â
Willy respectfully replied, âDonât worry, maâam. Iâve already arranged everything. She brought this upon herself, so today, well make her leave Riverton in the most humiliating way possibleâ
When Cornelia returned to the city, it was already 3 PM.
She didnât know that Marcus had been following her in his car back to the hotel
Cornelia exited the car, collected her thoughts, and immediately smiled when she saw Ben approaching her. âBenâ¦â
Ben questioned her as soon as he saw her. âCornelia, we agreed to meet at the banquet hall at 9 AM. Why are you just coming now? I called you many times, but you didnât answerâ
Cornelia had always been diligent and responsible at work. Ben had never seen her late in the more than half a year they had worked together.
Ben thought that maybe Marcus had asked Cornelia to do something else, so he didnât pursue the matter.
Now that Cornelia was back, he couldnât help but nag her a bit.
Cornelia apologized with a smile, Tm sorry, just some personal matters held me up. Are all the guests here?â
âAll the guests are here, but President Hartley hasnât arrived yet.â Just as he finished speaking, Ben saw Marcusâ tall figure approaching
âPresident Hartley âThey both greeted Marcus as he approached.
Marcus glanced at Cornelia but didnât say anything, heading straight inside
Cornelia and Ben immediately followed him
The banquet hall was brightly lit, with the sound of conversation everywhere
Marcus dealt with his business partners individually, with Cornelia and Ben close behind him. Talking with other business people took two hours.
