Chapter 195

Seeing Cornela clearly didn’t want to hang around with him, Marcus scowled and stormed off in a huff.

Watching Marcus’s retreating figure, Cornelia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hailed a cab to FurniMart.

In the taxi Cornelia received a text from Jeremy Cornelia,” it read

Just calling her name and not saying anything else, there is something wrong with Jererny!

Cornelia quickly tapped out a message with her finger. You saved me last night, why didn’t you wait till I woke up before leaving? Why did you leave me in the care of another man?* After sending the message, she waited for what seemed like forever for Jeremy’s reply. She quickly tapped out another message, “Jeremy, answer me Stop ducking the question”

It took a while, but Jeremy finally replied, “What’s wrong with your boss taking care of you?”

Cornelia rolled her eyes. “Are you nuts? He’s a married man, I’m a married woman, aren’t you afraid I might cheat on you?”

Jeremy replied, Im not scared.”

Cornela, “do you believe that I won’t cheat on you?”

Jeremy didn’t reply to her message this time, and Cornelia furiously dialed his number.

She got through, but he declined the call and sent a message instead, “I’m dealing with some business matters. I can’t take calls right now.”

Cornelia had no choice but to continue messaging him, “Get on with your stuff, we’ll talk about meeting up later”

After a while, Jeremy replied, “Sorry! I’ve run into some trouble, can’t meet up with you for now.”

Cornelia asked, “What kind of trouble have you run into? Tell me, I’ll help you figure this out.”

Jeremy replied quickly this time. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll swindle you out of your money?”

Cornelia retorted, “Yes, I’m afraid

Jeremy did not respond.

Cornelia messaged again, “You didn’t rack up a massive debt, did you?”

Jeremy replied. “Uh–huh.”

Cornelia didn’t reply to this one.

Just how much did Jeremy owe?

Tens of thousands?

Hundreds of thousands? Or more?

If it’s a few thousand dollars, she could help him out. But if it’s in the millions, she’s out of options

After some thought, Cornelia asked him, “Jeremy, just how much do you owe?”

Jeremy replied, “You want to help me pay off my debt?”

Cornelia said, “Tell me the amount first. If it’s not too much, I can help you.”

Jeremy replied, “Ten million US dollars.”

Ten million!

He said he owed ten million dollars!

To Cornelia, it was astronomical

She messaged him again, “Just pretend I didn’t say anything just now”

Jeremy replied, “just now you said you would help me, but you backed off so soon?”

Cornela replied. Ten million, how can I pay that off?”

Jeremy replied, “Just kidding. Do you think just anyone can have a debt of ten million?” Cornelia was speechless

So, he was just messing around with her

Jeremy “Cornelia.”

Cornelia, “Hmm?*

Jeremy. “Can we consider not getting divorced?”
