Chapter 137

“I wanna build a snowman.”

Cornelia’s hometown, Rosenberg. used to have snow every winter and Granny Rebecca would always take her to build snowmen

Riverton is in the south where it never shows, so she hasn’t built a snowman in years

Ben ain’t got a romantic bone in his body. “We ain’t kids anymore, why build a snowman?”

“Ben, you must not have a girlfriend”

Ben stepped back in fright. “Cornelia, don’t even think about hitting on me I’m a bachelor for life, I aint ever getting married”

“You’re overthinking it

“Ben, take ten steps to your right, Marcus’s voice suddenly came from the staircase.

They turned around to see Marcus, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, gracefully descending the stairs.

The great thing about winter in the north is that it’s snowing outside, but it’s warm inside, so you don’t need to wear heavy clothes.

Ben, not knowing why did as he was told.

After ten steps to the right, he saw a full–length mirror.

The more he looked at himself in the mirror, the more he felt he wasn’t as good–looking as before

He wasn’t ugly, even kinda good–looking, but he often saw Marcus’s perfect and flawless face, and naturally felt inferior in comparison.

Marcus. Did you see it clearly?”

Ben looked around and saw nothing “President Hartley, what am I supposed to see?”

If you didn’t see it clearly take a good look here. Tell me when you see it

Ben forced a smile. “President Hartley, please enlighten me.”

“Marc, you’re bullying Ben again!” Zavier walked in from outside, with his head covered in snowflakes.

Ben and Cornelia immediately greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Rivera!”

“Hello!” Zavier took an extra glance at Cornelia and said to Marcus, “Marc, come to your study, I have something to discuss with you”

Marcus led Zavier to the study on the third floor.

Cornelia remembered Zavier and his wife Skyler Blue Last time at Opulent Oasis, she accidentally saw the couple arguing.

Ben whispered to Cornelia. This is Zavier. What’s more interesting to people in the circle than his background is his wife, Skyler Blue.”

What’s up with Skyler Blue?” Skyler Blue’s first impression on Cornelia was that of a gentle and sweet girl, the kind everyone wanted to protect.

Ben mysteriously said, “The Rivera family and the Blue family were originally two great families. After Zavier and Skyler Blue were born, the two families intended to become in–laws When Skyler Blue turned eighteen, the families arranged their engagement and sent Skyler Blue to the Capitals Rivera family to develop their relationship”

“Many wealthy families do this, what’s so special about it?”

“Don’t be impatient, and let me finish. Less than two years into this marriage, the Blue family’s business would decline because they picked the wrong side? The gap between them and the thriving Rivera family grew larger and larger.”
