Chapter 101
Granny Luisa âAlright, here we go, you go back.â
âGoodbye, grannies!â Cornelia Stewart reluctantly watched the car slowly drive away, not taking her eyes off it for quite a while.
Deep down, Cornelia knew that Granny Rebecca and Granny Luisa were going to Southern Peak not because they wanted to spend Jeremy Artisâs money, but because they didnât want to cause her trouble and affect her work.
Not far away, an ordinary business car was parked, with Marcus Hartley sitting inside.
Seeing Corneliaâs dispirited look, he lit a cigarette, snuffed it out without taking a puff, pushed the car door open and walked towards her âCornelia â
Cornelia was startled by her name being called suddenly. Seeing it was him, she was puzzled but still managed to put on her standard smile. âPresident Hartley, why are you here? Where do you feel unwell to see a doctor?*
Marcus: âJust passing by What about you?â
Bumping into her twice in one day while passing by seemed too much of a coincidence, so much so that Cornelia couldnât believe it.
Did he have some purpose for her?
It wasnât that Cornelia thought too highly of herself, but his behavior was indeed suspicious. She decided to be cautious. Iâm also just passing by and getting ready to go home. Goodbye. President Hartley.â
As she finished speaking and was about to leave, Marcus stopped her. âThavenât had dinner yet. Letâs have dinner together?â
Even inviting her to dinner, President Hartley was really acting strange today. She apologized with a smile, âIâm sorry, President Hartley, but I already have plans with my friends
âNelly, why are you standing outside in the cold wind?â Zack Ruck and Abigail Young had just arrived at the hospital when they saw Cornelia talking to a man by the roadside. They couldn see the manâs face as his back was facing them.
The two of them arrived just in time. Cornelia hurriedly went up to them and said, âI told you guys to wait for me at the restaurant. Why did you come here?â
Zack didnât catch her hint, shaking the thermos in his hand. âAbby and I got off work early today and made some soup especially for Granny Rebecca
Cornelia: âGranny Rebecca wonât be able to enjoy it
The two of them were shocked. âWhat did you say?â
Cornelia realized her words were misleading and quickly explained, âGranny Luisa took Granny Rebecca to Southern Peak to recuperateâ
Abigail âGranny Luisa took Granny Rebecca to recuperate? You and that Jeremy guy are already divorced, why are they still so kind?â
Cornelia shrugged helplessly. âWe didnât get divorced.â
Abigal âWhy not?â
Cornelia: âHe changed his mind
Abigail shouted angrily. That man insisted on divorce when you were most vulnerable, and now he doesnât want to anymore, he even took Granny Rebecca to Southern Peak to recuperate. He must have no good intentionsâ
Zack nodded, âYeah, that guy must be up to no good.â
At this point, Marcus, who was being scolded right in front of him, felt gloomy inside.
