Chapter 1250
Hannah replied, âWell, that depends on the person and how they handle thingsâ
Cornelia, who couldnât care less what others thought, spilled her guts, âI really love Marcus. I always wanted to have a few kids with him and grow old together, but heâs flipped Heâs changedâ
Tears began to stream uncontrollably down Corneliaâs face. âHeâs changed. He doesnât love me anymore. Heâs in love with someone else. He deceived meâ
Hannah moved closer to Cornelia, whispering comforting words, âNelly, itâs okay, itâs okay.â
Cornelia wanted to say something more, but her phone sitting on the table suddenly vibrated. She picked up her phone, and because she was drunk, she had to squint to see that it was Ben calling Irritated with Marcus, Cornelia didnât want to deal with Ben either, and immediately hung up the call.
No sooner had she hung up that Ben called again. Cornelia hung up again, and again Ben called. After a few rounds of this backâandâforth, Hannah took the phone to answer on behalf of Cornelia As soon as the call connected, Benâs voice was heard, âCornella, I have something very important to tell you, donât hang up on me.â
Hannah replied, âBen, this is Hannah. Corneliaâs drunk and canât take your call.â
Ben on the other end sounded quite anxious, âMiss Hannah, can you have Cornelia say something, anything. Just let me hear her voice.â
âWhatâs going on?â Hannah asked.
Ben stuttered, âNo, nothing. Can you please hand the phone to Cornelia?â
âNelly, Ben seems to have something really important to tell you. Talk to him.â Hannah said, pushing the phone towards Cornelia, âJust hear him out.â
Ben said, âCornelia, say somethingâ
Cornelia replied. âWho are you and what do you want?â
Hearing Corneliaâs voice, Ben breathed a sigh of relief, not caring about what she was saying
âActually, itâs nothing too important. Weâve worked together for so long and you suddenly quit. I have some free time now and just wanted to chat Ben said.
Cornelia snapped, âWho do you think you are? If you want to talk, I have to talk? I donât want to talk to you, what can you do about it? Donât think that just because Marcus is covering for you, I would be scaredâ
Cornelia looked around, âWhereâs Marcus? Why canât I see him? Where did Marcus go? Let him take the call, I promise Iâll rip him a new one.â
A drunk Cornelia was like a machine gun, nonâstop talking. She probably didnât even know what she was saying.
Benâs voice on the other end suddenly became grave, âPresident Hartley is not feeling well, he canât take your call.â
Upon hearing this, Cornelia was livid, âHis poor health isnât just todayâs news! Heâs always been unwell, but he never listens to the doctorâs advice, always acting tough. Heâs not a threeâyearâold kidâ
