Chapter 713
After a while, Ben received a response from Cornelia, âBen, is there something urgent? If itâs not that important, can we chat tomorrow? Iâm with my husband right now, we have some stuff to deal with.â
Seeing Corneliaâs reply, Ben was utterly gobsmacked.
This woman was messing around with the boss at work, and then with her husband after work.
She was absolutely shameless! Werenât they scared of being caught?
Or perhaps they just didnât give a damn about being discovered!
They just wanted to flaunt their illicit relationship, letting everyone know about it, then openly be together, replacing their original partners and achieving their goals.
Ben started to let his imagination run wild.
Just as Cornelia replied to Benâs message, she received another one from Taylor.
âCornelia, our news is topping the trending lists again. Looks like itâs going to cause a huge stir. Mr. Hartley sure is a big shot, even though he never shows his face in public, the smallest thing about him can cause a major reaction.â
Even though she couldnât hear Taylorâs voice, from her words, Cornelia could feel her excitement â she was about to rake in a hefty sum.
However, Cornelia wasnât in the mood to chat at the moment, she replied coldly, âMm, Iâve got some stuff to sort out, I wonât chat now.â
Taylor, âWhatâs up? Did Mr. Hartley find out that you leaked the photo and is giving you trouble?â
Cornelia, âHe wonât bother me with this. Donât worry.â
Taylor, âYou seem down, did something happen? If you trust me, you can talk to me about it, and see if I can help you out.â
Cornelia, âItâs alright. Iâve got to get going.â
Marcusâ matter was indeed going to cause a huge stir!
Once inside the airâconditioned room, the indoor temperature was comfortable, but Marcusâ symptoms didnât improve, his skin exposed outside his clothes was bright red, just like a cooked shrimp.
She suggested calling Dr. Lester over, but he disagreed.
He was now taking a bath, and she was waiting for him outside the bathroom, but he didnât come out for a long time.
Chapter 713
Worried that something might happen to him, Cornelia went over and knocked on the door, âMr. Hartleyâ¦â¦â
Marcusâ deep voice mixed with the sound of running water reached Corneliaâs ears, âIâm okay, you go back to your room, no need to wait for me here.â
Cornelia was still worried, âAre you, are you really okay?â
Marcus, âAs long as you shut up, Iâll be fine.â
What did his physical condition have to do with her not speaking? Was he just picking a fight!
After thinking for a while, Cornelia still contacted Dr. Lester,.she had to get Dr. Lester to check on Marcusâ condition, otherwise she wouldnât be able to sleep at ease tonight.
After contacting Dr. Lester, Cornelia put away her phone, and faintly heard some noises. outside.
Could it have been Briana eavesdropping outside?
Carefully, Cornelia tiptoed to the door, quietly pushing it open; she didnât expect to see two elderly people outside.
