Chapter 629
Taylor said, âI got this, donât sweat it. If the info you gave me actually has news value, Ill split the cash I make with youâ
âOkayâ Cornelia replied
After she hung up with Taylor, Cornelia summarized what happened that night in a clear and concise way and send it over to Taylor
âAny vital stuff I need to highlight?â Taylor asked.
âJust wing itâ Cornelia said. âYou media people know better than me how to catch peopleâs attention.â
âGot itâ Taylor replied
Abigail and Zack sitting on either side of Cornelia, both saw the message she sent. And they were both majorly pissed off
âHow can the Reese family be such a pain in the butt?â Abigail asked, âWe didnât do anything to them, why are they always coming after you?â
Zack was fuming He slammed his hand on the table, stood up and was ready to storm out, âIâm gonna teach them a lessonâ
He could take some unfair treatment, but he couldnât stand it when Cornelia was hurt.
âZack, cool your jetsâ Cornelia immediately stopped him, âYou think charging over there is gonna solve anything? Think violence is the answer? We need to handle this legally
Zack fell silent
Cornelia lightly patted him on the shoulder, âYou guys only saw the front end of the messages, but not how they apologized to me afterwards. Let me tell you, the ones who messed up tonight were the Reese family, not me
âIâm useless, canât do anything to help youâ Zack said, always believing he was supposed to be their rock.
But the truth was, many times he was just spinning his wheels. This realization hit Zack hard. He thought him around, nobody dared to bully her, âIs he good to you?â
was a good thing Cornelia had Marcus by her side. At least with

Zack was somewhat satisfied with the answer, âItâs my 25th birthday this weekend, invite him over for dinner.â
Inviting Marcus over for dinner was a sign that Zack was starting to accept him.
Cornelia was thrilled, âWhat do you want for your birthday present? Iâll have him prepare it.â
âAs long as heâs good to you, thatâs the best gift for meâ Zack said.
âDo Abigail and I still need to get you birthday gifts? Cornelia asked.
âYou dare not?â Zack shot back.
âOf course we will, we definitely will!â Cornelia assured.
âWill he think our house is too crowded?â Zack asked again.
âNo, he wonât.â Cornelia replied
âLast weekend, Abigailâs boyfriend invited us over for dinner but I didnât go because you werenât there. Abigail, invite him over this weekend too. As your âfuture father, I need to check out my two sonsâinâlaw. Zack told Abigail.
âDo you want to get hit? At most weâll call you brotherâ Cornelia and Abigail said at the same time.
They were all the same age. Zackâs birthday was May 10th, Abigailâs was September 1st, and the youngest, Corneliaâs, was December 14th.
âI can be the big brother Zack said. After all, he was the closest male to them and nobody could replace his place in their hearta
âItâs getting late, we should hit the hay Cornelia said, âIâll check out the studio before work tomorrow Whatever the damage, Iâll make the culprit pay double
Zack and Abigail had been worried for two days because the studio was damaged for no reason. For these two days, they didnât eat or sleep well, and they didnât dare to tell Cornelia because they didnât want her to worry too.
Unexpectedly, when these things happened, Cornelia didnât panic at all. Instead, she quickly found a solution and became their rock:
