Chapter 284
âMarcus, no need
Hannah handed a glass of wine to Cornelia and looked her up and down. âCornelis, youâre so pietly and in such great shape. | bet, just change into a fancy dress and youâll definitely be the star tonightâ
Marcus glanced at Cornelia. Thats why he didnât prepare a dress for her tonight. Sheâs his wife, he hadnât even seen her killer figure, why let others se
Comelia chuckled, âYouâre buttering me up How could possibly compete with you and Rosie?â
Hannah responded âBeing too modest is just another form of arrogance
âWhoâs being arogantâ Rose who came with lucas, chimed in, âComelia, donât tell me youâre trying to keep your body a secret from every man but your husband?â
âNope âHer husband Jeremy she thought, just like her, didnât remember what she looked like, so he wouldnât care if others saw her figure
Hearing this Lucas and Oscar looked at Marcus at the same time, they thought this young man was lowâkey but actually quite thoughtful
They should learn from Marcus in the future, they should never let their wives be the center of attention
The mere thought of all those eyes on Rosie still filled Lucas with a strong desire to harm someone
Zavier approached, holding his wine glass, wearing a displeased expression: âYou three are all here. Why didnât you call me?â he asked

Zavierâs words were a bit much, and Cornelia, Hannah, and Rosie couldnât take it anymore. The three of them went to chat in a corner.
Rosie asked. âCornelia, do you know how Skylerâs doing?â
Cornelia nodded, âPresident Hartley has already arranged for someone to help Skyler settle where she wants to goâ
Hannah, âSurprisingly out of all the guys, the most reliable one is Marcusâ
Rosie âThe word on the street is that the president of the Hartley Group, Marcus, deeply loves his wife. I think he must really love his wife, knowing how to love someone, thats why he helped Skylerâ
Comelia agreed. âIndeed. President Hartley is so devoted to his wife, never even glancing at other womenâ
Hannah, âCornelia how are things with your husband?â
Comelia. âWeâre good. Itâs just that he returned to Riverton from a business trip today, and I came to Harbor City, so we couldnât see each otherâ
Hannah suggested. âIf you miss him that much, fly back to see him after the auction ends, then come back to Harbor City early in the morningâ
Comelia thought it was a good opportunity to see Jeremy but Jeremy hadnât messaged her today, she wasnât sure if he was back in Riverton yet.
If she flew back only to find out he wasnât there, the money for the ticket would be
