Chapter 623
Ryan said, âIf you donât clear up today that the necklace youâre wearing is legit, tomorrow thereâll be a ton of media claiming youâre sporting some knockâoff. You gotta understand, theyâre gonna blow this thing out of proportionâ
Cornelia pondered for a moment, figuring Ryan had a point
For an average Joe, wearing a fake wasnât a big deal, but she was the personal assistant to Marcus, the big cheese of the Hartley Group. In a way, her actions reflected on
Marcus
So, she had to prove that the necklace she was wearing was the real deal.
Cornelia stepped forward, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and announced loudly, âYeah, this necklace Iâm wearing is the real Heavenly Radianceâ
Upon hearing Comeliaâs necklace was legit, Clairâs face twisted up instantly.
She was humiliated by this woman today and found out she owned a real Heavenly Radiance.
How could she stomach this?
She was just an assistant, how could she own a real Heavenly Radiance?
Clairâs hands clenched into fists, her fingernails digging into her palms, not even feeling the pain.
She was deep in the throes of jealousy
âSo, just because you say the Heavenly Radiance is real, itâs real?â Of course, there were skeptics in the audience.
A necklace was worth 30 million bucks, how could an assistant own one, unless she had got some special thing going on with Marcus.
Cornelia quickly thought of a convincing explanation, âA year ago, President Hartley flew to Paris while on his way home just to drop 30 million bucks on the Heavenly Radiance necklace for his wife
*Today. Mrs. Hartley saw that I was wearing a dress without any jewelry and to keep me from looking too shabby, she picked out a necklace from her collection to lend meâ Not everyone can afford a 30 million dollar necklace, but if the one buying the necklace was Marcus, no one would question it.
Money was the last thing Marcus lacked
âSo, the one who bought the Heavenly Radiance was President Hartleyâ
âOh my gosh, the usually icy President Hartley is actually so romantic.â
âWhereâs President Hanley? He only showed up for a bit and then disappeared, did he go home to be with his wife?â
âNow thatâs a man who really loves his wife
Mentioning Marcus, the guests all showed admiring looks.
In this world, everyone worshiped the strong, and someone like Marcus just commanded admiration.
Everyone in the room accepted that the buyer of the Heavenly Radiance was Marcus, except for the folks from the Reese family who looked sour
Comelia asked, âCan I leave now?â
Who would dare to hold Cornelia back?
Even Granger was especially respectful to Cornelia, âI apologize again on behalf of my son and my wife, I hope you can forgive them.â
âI hold grudges, if someone crosses me, Iâll find a way to get back at themâ Cornelia dropped this line, turned and walked over to Cameron, lowering her voice and said slowly, âSir, my lawyer will be in touch with you, you just wait and see.â
Cameron clenched his fists, grinding his teeth, âYouâre just having your moment, letâs see how long you can keep this up.â
Cornelia responded, âToday is enough.â
Truth was, she didnât plan to stir things up today, but the Reese family tried to frame her, and ended up showing their true colors to everyone. They could only blame
themselves
