Chapter 675
Who would believe that a mosquito bite could leave such a huge mark? No one dared to question it, though
But noticing the strange lock in both Marcus and Comeliaâs eyes they decided that there must be some secret between the President and his assistant
The elevator quickly arrived at the floor whem the Presidentâs office was located. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Cornelia immediately contacted Dr Lester âDr. Lester, are you there yetâ
Dr Lester replied âComelia, Iâm really sorry, but I might be a bit lateâ
Cornelia heard some noise on Dr. Lesterâs end. âWhatâs going on?â
Dr Lester replied âAfter receiving your message. I packed up and headed straight to the Hartley Groupâs headquarters. I should have been there by now But on the way, my carâs brakes suddenly failed and I hit the car in front of me. Iâm dealing with the accident right now?
Comelia sensed something. Your brakes failed?â
Dr Lester replied, âYes, I just had them serviced last month. This shop is really unreliableâ
Dr. Lesterâs answer confirmed Corneliaâs suspicion, Dr. Lester, President Hartley can wait, just be careful. Where are you now? Iâll send someone to find youâ
Dr. Lester replied, âDonât worry, I can handle this little problemâ
Comelia said, âOkay just be safeâ
The elevator malfunction, Dr. Lesterâs brake failure, these seemingly coincidental events definitely had issues behind them.
After the call ended, Cornelia rushed into the Presidentâs office, âPresident Hartley, I suspect the elevator failure was intentionally caused The Hartley Group always takes safety seriously and the elevators are regularly maintained, especially the ones for the President. They are checked daily. In theory, there shouldnât be any sudden malfunctions, unless
Before she could finish, she noticed Marcus was on the phone
Marcus was standing by the window, giving some instructions over the phone. After he finished, he turned to look at Cornelia.
Cornelia asked him, âDo you also suspect the elevator was tampered with?â
Marcus looked at Cornelia, his eyes full of admiration, âYes, Iâve already had someone look into it. Weâll know soon whether it was human intervention.â
Marcus was indeed extraordinary. Despite the shock he had just received, he was able to recover his composure in no time and even arranged for people to investigate the
incident
Cornelia asked him. âCould it be the Reese family?
Marcus laughed, âSilly girl, they have never been a match for meâ
Other than the Reese family, Cornelia had a vague idea who it could be but she wasnât sure, President Hartley, I suspect our opponent knows you and the people around you very well. It must be someone youâre familiar with. Dr. Lesterâs brakes failed on his way to the company, I think that was also deliberateâ
Marcus knew exactly who the opponent was, but he didnât want Cornelia to worry too much, âIt doesnât matter who the opponent is. All you need to know is that no one dares to hurt you, youâre safeâ
Hearing this, Cornelia was furious. âDo you think I care who the opponent is only because Iâm worried for myself? Yes, I admit Iâm a scaredyâcat, I do get scared. But what Iâm more worried about is something happening to you.â
He had no idea how worried she was when he was having trouble breathing in the elevator She was terrified that something would happen to him, that he would leave her just like her father did
Marcus said, âNothingâs gonna happen to me, donât worryâ
