Chapter 542
Zack analyzed rationally, âFirst of all, I donât think Marcus is a good guy Secondly, we are just ordinary folks and carit hold a candle to hirnâ
Abigail retorted, âMarcusâs never been a womanizer, why does that make him a bad person? Besides, heâs already married to Cornelia, and theyâre a couple. How could she be considered unworthy of him?
Zack shot back, âWhat do you mean heâs not a womanizer? Just tonight Cornelia told me she caught Marcus red handed with another woman in bed, Some people say marrying into wealth brings along complicated family drama. Lots of female celebs marry into wealthy families and end up getting the short end of the stick, kicked out of the family Comelia is such a sweetheart, sheâs more likely to get playedâ
The news of Marcus with another woman in bed hit Abigail like a ton of bricks
After what felt like forever, she managed to mutter, âDidnât Nelly say the one who cheated wasnât Marcus?â
âDo you believe that? Zack looked at Abigail as if she was a fool, âIf Marcus really was Jeremy, why has he kept Nelly in the dark all this time? Thereâs no way heâs Jeremyâ
Abigail pondered and said, âMaybe he feared Nelly was after his money, so he was testing herâ
Zack retorted, âIf thatâs the case, heâs even less deserving of Nellyâs lifelong commitmentâ
As they couldnât come to a resolution in their argument, they turned to the protagonist of their discussion, âNelly, what do you think?â
Cornelia tried her best to keep her cool, pretending to be calm. She took out her work phone and said, âItâs simple to confirm if Marcus and Jeremy are the same person, Iâll just call Marcus and ask.â
âYouâre going to directly call Marcus and ask? What ifâ¦â Abigail and Zack both exclaimed in surprise, their shocked expressions identical.
âWould you two be quiet!â Cornelia found Marcusâs number, hit the call button, and the phone was picked up as soon as it rang.
Marcusâs deep and sexy voice came through the phone, âCornelia, itâs late, whatâs up?*
Even through the phone, Cornelia could feel Marcusâs strong presence. Her vibe instantly weakened, the question that she intended to ask âAre you Jeremy?â froze in her
throat
She carefully said, âI heard from Bri youâre sick and in the hospital, which hospital are you in? Iâd like to visit.â
Cornelia asked casually, thinking he would refuse, but he said, âIâll send someone to pick you up.â
Cornelia replied, âNo, no need, just give me the address, Iâll drive over myself. It wonât take long.â
Marcus gave her the address, then said, âIâll be waitingâ
His voice was low and very pleasant, extremely charming. The words âIâll be waitingâ coming from his mouth felt like a spell, with a captivating power.
Cornelia didnât say anything else and quickly hung up.
Abigail and Zackâs eyes bulged as they looked at Cornelia, Cornelia took a step back, âWhat are you two staring at?â
Zack, âYou said you were going to ask him directly, why didnât you?â
Abigail, âIs he sick? Whatâs he got? You should go to the hospital and keep him companyâ
Zack, âAbigail, snap out of it, that guy is doing shady stuff behind Corneliaâs back!â
Abigail, âWith Marcusâs looks and wealthâ¦I wouldnât mind even if he did something shady from time to time or only came home a few times a year to spend time with me.â
