Chapter 1204

Cornelia chuckled, not giving a response

Patricia mistakenly thought that Cornelia had chosen to quit her job, unaware that it was actually Marcus who had asked her to leave Marcus‘ excuse was that he wanted Cornelia to focus on her own work. Cornelia once said she wanted to stay by his side, to work with him, but he didn’t want her in his work environment.

Back in her room, Cornelia was no longer sleepy. She stared at the ceiling, her eyes wide open

A myriad of images flashed through her mind. From the first time she met Marcus, to working with him, to him protecting her at the risk of offending his partners. Every moment with him was as clear as a film.

The Marcus Cornelia knew was definitely not a man who would betray his marriage. Cornelia didn’t want to think too much. The more she thought about certain things, the worse she felt. She wanted to ask Marcus directly and tell him her thoughts straight away.

So, she took out her phone and dialed Marcus‘ number. The phone rang and was picked up almost immediately. Before the other party could speak, Cornelia blurted out, “Jeremy, I like you! I really, really like you! Come home early today, I want to have a serious chat with you.”

After she said this. Tahlia’s voice came through the phone, “Nelly, it’s me. President Hartley is reviewing an important document and doesn’t have time to take the call, so he asked me to answer it for him.”

Cornelia was speechless.

Tahlia added, “If you don’t have anything else, I’m going to hang up.”

Subconsciously, Cornelia nodded, then said, “Don’t hang up. I have something else. Tell President Hartley to take the call. I want to talk to him personally

Tahlia’s voice reached Cornelia’s ear again through the phone, “President Hartley, Mrs. Hartley wants to talk to you, do you want to take it?”

Then, Cornelia heard Marcus say. “Tell her, I’m busy.”

Tahlia said, “Nelly….

Cornelia responded coldly, “Let Marcus answer the phone.”

Cornelia couldn’t understand why Marcus had changed so much in just a few days, not even wanting to talk to her. She had to figure it out!

The phone finally reached Marcus, but instead of answering the call, Cornelia heard the sound of him hanging up.

And before hanging up, he told Tahlia, “I’m busy working, so you can help me reject all calls, including Mrs. Hartley’s!”

Somehow, hearing this didn’t make Cornelia feel as bad as she thought she would. This man definitely was not Jeremy! Her Jeremy wouldn’t treat her like this.

It was very possible that the nasty Brennen was causing trouble, making Cornelia believe Marcus had betrayed her, hence causing her to resent Marcus. But Cornelia was no

fool, she wouldn’t fall into Brennen’s trap. So, Cornelia dialed Ayden’s number, “Ayden, someone might be impersonating Marcus, can you check for me?”

She thought Ayden would agree with her, but instead, she heard him say, “What you’re seeing is the real President Hartley, no one is impersonating him.”

“Are you sure? Cornelia asked

Ayden continued, “His height, his way of walking, and his elegance in action. Do you think these can be imitated?”
