Chapter 617

Leonardo seemed to be quite laid back and unreliable on the surface, but when push came to slove, he never disappointed. That was why Cornelia entrusted him with a key part of her retaliation against the Reese family. “Mr. Wilson, I’m counting on you”

“No worries, I wont let you down,” Leonardo enthusiastically pated Comelia’s shoulder, “Cornelia, once this is all sorted, introduce me to your husband, will ya?”

He wanted to see what kind of guy could make a girl as outstanding as Cornelia so reliant on him.

Comelia replied. “Sure, I’ll arrange that”

Leonardo, “It’s a deal, then”

Comelia nodded, “It’s a deal!

After he left, Cornelia rubbed her sore shoulder that he’d smacked, wincing in pain, “Why’s he gotta be so rough?”

Ryan laughed. “That’s just him. He’s so crude, if he wasn’t a Wilson, he’d never get a girlfriend.”

Cornelia asked, “Mr. Ryan, do you have a girlfriend?”

Ryan answered, “Cornelia, you are truly someone who can handle big things. In the face of crisis, you’re not only calm but also concerned about whether I have a girlfriend”

Cornelia shrugged. “What’s the use of panicking?

Ryan’s gaze landed on Cornelia, openly sizing her up, “Is it because you have Marc that you’re not afraid?”

Cornelia paused, then chuckled, “Oh right, I totally forgot about President Hartley”

Ryan suggested, “Let Marc handle it then. See if those troublemakers still dare to mess with you.”

Cornelia shook her head. “No need, I can handle this on my own. It s my problem, and I’ll deal with it.”

“The Reese family is clearly targeting you. This is no small matter. They won’t let you off easily. The Reese family has a lot of clout in Paverton, don’t underestimate them.“”

As a lawyer, Ryan had a keen sense of judgment. He knew that tonight’s event was a trap set by the Reese family for Cornelia

Ryan didn’t know what grudge Cornelia had with the Reese family or why they had chosen to target her at such an occasion, “When did you make enemies with them?”

Cornelia pointed to her necklace, “Maybe it’s mainly because we don’t get along. The first time I met Cameron, I could tell he had a problem with me. Today, at such an important occasion, Clair was flaunting her 30–million–dollar necklace everywhere. I wore the same one as her, so they’re bound to have a beef with me”

Ryan laughed, “It’s kind of funny, they probably never expected to see the owner of the Heavenly Radiance wearing it here.”

Cornelia sighed, “There’s definitely more drama to come, let’s just sit back and enjoy it.”

Ryan asked. “Are you sure you don’t want Marc’s help?”

Cornelia shook her head, “If I can’t handle something this minor, how am I fit to work alongside him?*

Ryan added, “You’re not just his assistant, you’re his wife. In your work, you need to be a competent assistant, that’s your duty. But in life, you don’t always have to be tough. You can show some vulnerability, let him know you need him”

Unwilling to show weakness, Cornelia retorted, “Who says a woman has to rely on a man in marriage? I want to be the woman who can fight alongside him, not always depending on him”

Cornelia believed no one was born to protect others. Including Granny Luisa, Briana, many people in the Hartley Group all needed Marcus‘ protection. He had always shielding them from the storms.

He was no Iron Man, he was not invincible. He was just a human being who can feel tired and exhausted, with human emotions.

And she, she didn’t want to be a burden to him, she wanted to move forward with him. If he was tired and needed to rest, she wanted to be his rock.

Ryan finally said, “Marc is lucky to have you.”
