Chapter 18
The two sides have already agreed on the price, and the other details were not hard to discuss, so they quickly signed a contract and just waited for the other party to pay.
Once the money came in, itâs not a problem for the three of them to buy a house in Poverton,
After finishing their business collaboration, they had a whole day left, so the three of them indulged in having fun. They went crazy all day long and didnât return to Riverton until 10 p.m. on Sunday nig
Abigail and Zack remained uncertain if Comelia was truly okay, for after the incident, she had mastered concealing her emotions.
âWhat are you two up to? Donât worry about me, Iâm really fine Comelia punched them both playfully, âOnce we get the copyright money, letâs go house hunting. Well buy a house in the same community, and continue living together
Zack and Abigail agreed, âYeah, letâs work hard to buy a house and have our own home in Riverton
âThen letâs go to sleep? Comelia yawned, âItâs getting late, and I need to get up early for work tomorrow
Zack and Abigail said, âGood night.â
The next morning, as soon as Cornelia crawled out of bed, her personal phone buzzed on the bedside table. Having learned from the experience last week, she had set her personal phone to silent mode.
She reached for her phone, still halfâasleep, and didnât forget to greet the caller, âHello, hi
A strange male voice came from the phone, âMs. Stewart, Iâm the representative lawyer for Mr. Jeremy?
Her husband, who had been âmissingâ for over a year, suddenly contacted her for a divorce a few days ago, and now thereâs a representative lawyer. Could he be in trouble?
Maybe he owed a bunch of money he canât pay back, and the authorities had found her, knowing she had money, and wanted her to pay
for him.
Comelia hugged her phone tightly, afraid that someone would take the money from her phone directly, âI donât have any money, donât
come to me.â
Merlin hesitated, âIâm not after your money. I just wanted to remind you that your marriage to Jeremy is practically over, and dragging it on wonât do either of you any good. Tonight at 8 oâclock, come to Spice Avenue, and well talk.â
As long as she didnât have to help her husband in name only to pay back the money, everything was negotiable. Comelia agreed, âOkay, tonight at 8.
Merlin hung up and immediately called Marcus, âPresident Hartley, Iâve contacted your wife and arranged a meeting at 8 tonight. Do you
want to come?â
âWhat do I need you as a lawyer for then?â Marcus didnât even want to glance at the woman who betrayed him.
He hung up the phone, looked at his watch, and sent a message to Comelia and Ben, âYou two donât have to go to the company, just head straight to the airport.â
This scenic development project was actually a key government project.
So his investment was more about earning prestige than making money.
Many companies, especially large ones, are paying more and more attention to this issue.
After a threeâhour flight, they arrived at a big city in the West Region, then took another hourâlong flight to a small airport.
Golden autumn, beautiful scenery, but cold to the bone.
Combined with the long flight, Cornelia soon felt dizzy after getting off the plane.
Marcus glanced at her and asked, âAre you not used to the climate here?â
