Chapter 610
Marcus nimbly dodged Zavierâs attack, âYouâre no match for me, stop wasting time!
Zavier halted his attack, straightened his shirt. âYouâve always wanted to know whoâs been colluding with me behind your back, aiming to bring you down. Now I can tell you, that person is also from the Hartley family hahaha
Actually, Zaver didnât need to say it out loud, Marcus already had the answer in his heart, and he was not surprised.
Moreover, Marcus believed that Zavier was not the only one that person had contacted. That person would reach out to all possible forces against him.
After all, Marcus was the one who defeated that person and put him in jail for a full ten years, not a day less
Ten years was enough to change many peopleâs destinies
Ten years ago, he was just a naive teenager
Ten years ago, he had taken over the Hartley Group for less than two years and was still facing many challenges
But now, ten years later, he was no longer young, no one questioned his abilities, and the Hartley Group was firmly in his hands. No one could shake his position
Marcus adjusted his glasses, âHeâs never disappointed me.â
Zavier chuckled, âMarc, I always thought father son battles were a thing of the past, interesting to see it still happens.â
Marcus didnât answer, his gaze was deep, as if he could see into the depths of hell.

Zavier added, âThereâs something else I need to tell you todayâ
Marcus asked, âWhat is it?â
Zavier said, âManuel wants to see you, will you agree?â
Marcus asked, âIs he back in Riverton?â
Zaver said, âNot only is Manuel back in Riverton, but heâs also at this Mansion. Heâs waiting for you in the car outside.â
Manuel, already 101 years old, was the founder of the Riverton Chamber of Commerce and had made great contributions to Rivertonâs reform and development
Therefore, although he had retired for many years and no longer held real power, many business people still respected him, and his words still carried weight.
Marcus didnât have much interaction with Manuel and didnât know why Manuel wanted to see him, but out of respect for his elder, he went along with Zavier.
Leaving the lounge and passing through less crowded areas, Comelia made her way to the dining area.
She had an early lunch and was a bit hungry now
The main banquet hadnât started yet, and the dining area had various snacks and pastries, but no main courses or meat, which was a bit disappointing for Cornelia.
Although she didnât find anything she liked, she still picked up a small plate of pastries, ordered a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice from a waiter, and sat in an inconspicuous corner to eat slowly.
Not long after she started eating, Leonardo and Ryan, who had disappeared for a while, came over and sat on either side of her.
Leonardo held two glasses of fruit wine in his hand, handed one to Cornelia, âCornelia, letâs have a drink.â
Comelia took the wine but didnât drink it, âIâm about to have my period, I donât want to drink.â
Leonardo, âWhy are you telling me this?â
When a woman talked about her penod to a man with no reservations, there can only be two possible explanations.
First, the woman and the man were a couple or lovers.
Second, the woman had never seen the man as the opposite sex, but as a close friend.
