Chapter 641
âEven in Riverton, people know about your dirty little secrets from Rosenberg Started off seducing other womenâs husbands in your teenage years, ended up getting busted by the wife. Youâve lost your innocence a long time ago, and yet you managed to get Marcus to fall for you I admit, youâve got some skills. I wonder if Marcus regrets ever getting involved with you, or perhaps he just likes a woman who isnât choosy about her men?â
Clair knew exactly how to ruin the reputation of a young, beautiful and ambitious girl. She just loved spreading rumors.
Society was harsher on girls than boys. Anyone could start a rumor about a girl, saying, âHave you heard about that girl and that guy?â Without needing any proof, they could label her as a homewrecker or a gold digger Rumor spreaders just needed to move their lips, or shared an outâofâcontext screenshot, and the victimâs reputation could be ruined, facing scorn in their future life.
Cornelia hated these people, despised their nasty habit of gossiping behind peopleâs backs but not being able to say anything to their faces.
Clair was the epitome of what Cornelia despised, spewing venomous words, completely lacking the grace expected of a wealthy lady.
Compared to Clairâs ugly demeanor, Cornelia seemed calm and composed, âYou are such a shameless person. Donât think everyone is like you, lacking any sense of shame. Everyone in Riverton knows how you destroyed another womanâs marriage to become Mrs. Reese, how dare you criticize others? I live my life openly and honestly I donât stoop to dealing with shameless people like you.â
When this was mentioned, Clair didnât feel embarrassed, she felt a sense of pride instead, âHow many mistresses donât want to be the legal wife? How many mistresses can actually become the legal wife? Being able to become the legal wife from a mistress is also a talent. Iâd like to see if you have the ability to get Marcus to marry youâ
Cornelia sneered, âMaybe Iâm already his wife.â
Clair scoffed, âWhat do you think the Hartley family is? You think the Hartley family would marry a dirty woman with no status or reputation?â
The Hartley family held a high status in Clairâs heart, not only because of the global status of the current Hartley Group, but also because of a secret deeply hidden in her
heart.
When Clair first came to Riverton, the person she wanted to get close to wasnât Granger. It was the then head of the Hartley Group, Brennen Hartley
Compared to Granger, Brennen was wealthier and more handsome. But he had another woman in his heart, and no other women could catch his eye
Because she saw no possibility of marrying into the Hartley family, Clair chose Granger. Although Granger didnât look as appealing as Brennen at the time, he still had some handsome traits, which were nothing like his current bald and bigâeared appearance. Especially his big belly, which looked like he was seven or eight months pregnant. He had become like that, and he still had the audacity to grab her waist a few days ago, telling her she was gaining weight, and needed to maintain her figure.
Over the years, not only had she maintained a good figure, but her face also looked very young, absolutely not like someone nearing fifty. She really didnât know where that bald and fat pig. Granger, got the nerve to say she was fat.
