Chapter 721

Granny Luisa said, “I ain’t tryna criticize Cornelia or nothing, why you all uptight?”

Marcus asked, “Well, what are you trying to say?”

Granny Luisa said, “You have a seat first. You’re so tall, I gotta tilt my head up to look at you, and it’s tiring.”

Marcus pulled up a chair and sat next to Granny Luisa, “Please go ahead, granny.”

Granny Luisa said, “I just wanna know, besides being committed to your marriage, is there anything else between you and Cornelia?”

Marcus asked, “Isn’t being committed to the marriage the right thing?”

Granny Luisa paused, then said, “Sure, ain’t nothing wrong with that. But seeing you two being so compatible, I wish there’s more to it. I hope you’re together because you love each other, not just for the sake of the marriage.”

This struck a chord with Marcus. Granny’s thoughts were eerily in sync with his. He was

starting to feel something different towards Cornelia. He hoped Cornelia was with him not just because of duty.

He’d always been good at keeping a poker face. Even when his true thoughts were exposed, he simply responded, “I’ll try my best, granny.”

Granny Luisa couldn’t see his inner turmoil, and she sighed, “This is the first time Cornelia has come to our house. She might be scared all by herself. Go keep her company. I’m tired too, gonna hit the sack.”

Marcus said, “Alright.”

When Marcus got back to the room, Cornelia had already showered, changed into her Shimmer Club PJs, and was on the phone.

She was jotting down notes while on the phone. She was so absorbed in it, and she didn’t even notice him coming in.

She said to the person on the phone, “Yes, I got 250,000 before, gonna make a fortune selling Marcus‘ photos tonight. Plus, Granny Luisa gave me an unlimited credit card, a villa, two luxury apartments, and some shops and stuff. I did a rough calculation, all these properties worth at least ten million.”

Abigail said, “You’re so clueless, just the two luxury apartments alone are worth a trillion. And that sea–view villa.”

Cornelia said, “Looks like I’m a bona fide billionaire now.”

Abigail said, “You’re so rich now, I can’t even compete. I’m afraid you might not recognize me

when we bump into each other.”

Cornelia laughed, “Who are you again? Why am I on the phone with you?”

Abigail said, “If you dare to forget about me, I swear I’ll drop dead.”

Cornelia happily said, “How could I forget you? You and Zack are my best friends. I won’t ever forget you guys. Don’t worry, when I make money, I’ll make sure you guys do too. We’ve always said since we were kids, we’re gonna get rich together, live the high life, drive fancy cars…”

Abigail said, “You have no idea how thrilled I am right now. I’ve been dreaming of my friends getting rich so they can take care of me. I can just sit back and relax. I thought it would take a while, but it came so soon.”
