Chapter 460
Cornelia [Do you think I could negotiate with Marcus to take his picture and post it online to make some cash? Iâd give him a cut, or I could take twenty percent and he could take eighty percent. Iâm cool with that]
Alvina (He probably wouldnât care about that chump change. I think you could try to get his wifeâs approval. Let her agree for you to take her picture and post it online, and tag it with #Marcusâs wifeâs full face pictures. I think Iâve got a real knack for business]
Comelia thought this idea might actually work: [itâs just a shame I havenât met his wife yet, otherwise Iâd definitely try to get her on board to make money with me ]
Alvina [You havenât met her yet? Sheâs really pretty though. You can tell sheâs a beauty just from her elegant silhouette. She and Marcus are a perfect match. Iâm glad I knew my place and didnât pester Marcus]
Alvina sang her praises. If the woman in the photo was Mrs. Hartley, Cornelia could join her in the admiration. But unfortunately, the woman in the photo was Cornelia. This left her at a loss for words
Alvina [Sweetie, why arenât you saying anything?)
Cornelia [Seeing someone make so much money from a single photo, Iâm jealous
Half of the photo was her, maybe she could claim a share of the profit based on portrait rights.
Alvina [You silly goose. If you didnât make it this time, thereâs always a next time. Just do as I suggested earlier. To start with Marcusâs wife, donât let a good opportunity slip through your fingers.]
Cornelia: [Yeah, Iâll definitely seize the opportunity next time.]
Alvina: Alright darling, Iâm going to continue my online sleuthing. Keeping an eye out for any whisperings about Marcus and his wife. Next time weâll be the ones making the dough]
Cornelia [Got it]
After ending the chat with Alvina, Cornelia suddenly remembered she hadnât finished her chat with Jeremy. There was still a message from him on the chat: [Cornelia, why arenât you respondingâ]
Cornelia [A friend just messaged me. We chatted for a bit, Iâm a little shook]
Jeremy [What happened?]
Cornelia [Did you know about the photo being posted online last night? I heard the person who posted it made at least a million dollars. If I knew Marcusâs picture was worth so much, why didnât I post it online and make that money?]
Jeremy: [Youâre upset about this?]
Cornelia [I feel like I missed out on a lot of money, do you consider this a minor issue?]
Jeremy [Have you considered that the person might not have made that money?]
Cornelia [What do you mean?]
Jeremy [The photo might have been posted by Marcus himself, and that money could be his
Without Jeremyâs reminder, Cornelia, being naive, didnât think of this. But with Jeremyâs reminder, Cornelia suddenly realized this, she said. [Heâs such a boss! He can make more money with one photo than I could in my lifetime. Iâm in the photo too, I should ask him for half of the money]
Jeremy replied [Okay, he would give you half of the money]
Cornelia typed angrily [You canât make decisions for him. I donât have the guts to say this to his face. Heâs handsome and has a nice voice. Heâs always been good to me, but his aura is too strong. Itâs intimidating.]
