Chapter 609
Comelia retorted, âIf I do not believe him, do you think Iâll believe you?â
Marcus didnât utter a word His enchanting eyes, hidden behind his glasses, squinted slightly as he silently observed Cornelia
Zavier chuckled, âIf thereâs a man who acts like heâs head over heels for you every day, but flips around and gets cozy with other women, do you think you can trust a man
like that?â
Comelia frowned, clearly pissed off, âThe incident from that day only you know it best. He didnât do anything, no one should speak ill of him.â
That Cornelia would defend him didnât surprise Marcus one bit.
What did surprise him was something else Comelia had witnessed âMarcusâ betraying her with her own eyes, but after hearing his explanation, she quickly chose to believe him, and regardless of what anyone else said, she didnât doubt him anymore.
It felt really good to be trusted unconditionally
A warm feeling surged into Marcus heart at an unprecedented speed, causing ripplesâ¦.
He slowly moved to Corneliaâs side, reached out his hand to hold hers. âZavier, allow me to introduce you to my wifeâCorneliaâ
My wife! Cornelia!
He emphasized the title my wife.
He didnât want to wait any longer. He wanted the whole world to know, he wanted to tell everyone, Cornelia was his wife.
Cornelia was Marcusâ wife!
âPresident Hartley⦠Cornelia didnât expect Marcus to âexpose her identity so directly in front of Zavier.
She was caught off guard and was at a loss for what to do
Zavier was also caught off guard by Marcus suddenly exposing Comeliaâs identity. He had planned to stir things up by using the fact that Cornelia didnât know Marcus was Jeremy
It seemed this plan had to be scrapped
Zavier extended his hand to Cornelia, âMrs Hartley, nice to meet you!â
Cornelia replied, âMr. Rivera, just call me Corneliaâ
Being addressed as Mrs. Hartley sounded strange.
After all, the name of her spouse on her marriage certificate was Jeremy.
âPresident Hartley, I, Iâm hungry. Iâll go find something to eat.â With that, Cornelia quickly left the lounge.
She couldnât handle this situation, better let them sort it out on their own. She needed to get out of there.
Watching Cornelia leave, Zavier withdrew his gaze after Marcus. âMarc, I really envy you for having such a thoughtful and understanding wife.â
Marcus replied indifferently. âYour wife is also good, you just donât know how to appreciate her.â
Zavier retorted, âSheâs good? The brutal murderer who killed my only child, whatâs so good about her?â
Marcus responded, âZavier, werenât you the one who really killed the baby in Skylerâs belly?â
Hearing this, Zavierâs eyes immediately turned red, as if they were about to bleed, âMarcus, if you donât stop spouting nonsense, I wonât be polite.â
Marcus shot back, âYou messed up but arenât man enough to admit your mistakes. Instead, you blame everything on a woman, your own wife. Zavier, can you stoop any lower?â
Zavier clenched his fists and swung at Marcus, Tll make you pay!â
