Chapter 892
Comeliaâs plan was certainly gutsy, hoping to speak up for girls whoâd been through the same as her. But she knew that taking such actions could stir up a hornetâs nest.
Marcus asked, âCornelia, do you get what youâre signing up for?â
Comelia nodded. âI do. What Iâm about to do means Iâll have to release a video of my painful past, to show the world what Iâve been through A few years ago, I might not have had the nerve to release such a video, but now, I ainât scared of anything You once told me that the wrongdoers were to blame, not me, and Iâm just standing up for my
rightsâ
As Cornelia looked into Marcusâ eyes while speaking the determination and courage in her eyes showed Marcus her resolve and strength. He granted her request, Alright. You take the video and handle thisâ
âThank you!â Cornelia was grateful for his trust, for letting her handle things on her own rather than keeping her under his protective wing. If he took care of everything for her, if he always protected her, sheâd eventually be left behind by society Cornelia didnât want to be dependent on others for everything she did
Marcus praised her, âCornelia youâre the bravest girl Iâve ever met!â
Cornelia smiled, âI was scared too I thought about running away, but my family and best friend stood by me Their trust and support helped me through the hardest times. When the incident first happened, I was terrified, I couldnât sleep. Even when I did manage to sleep. I felt like someone was watching me. At that time, I even thought of ending it all by committing suicide, thinking that if I died, I wouldnât have to face everyoneâs blame and questions But when I realized that I was the victim, that I shouldnât feel ashamed because of others mistakes, I was glad I didnât commit suicide. You only live once You never get to start over, we should cherish it and never sacrifice it because of othersâ mistakes
Marcus simply held her close, not saying any comforting words, yet giving Cornelia endless strength. She looked up at him from his chest, âI have a suggestion, wanna hear
It?â
Marcus gently ruffled her hair. âShootâ
Cornelia said, âThere are still many girls like me, hurt but feeling ashamed and scared to speak up. I hope the Hartley Group can set up a department to first help the companyâs female employees, and if it goes well, we can scale it to Riverton, even nationwide, what do you think?â
Marcus said, âAlright, youâre in charge of this project. You can also pick some colleagues you trust to join.â
Cornelia asked, âYouâre just gonna agree like that? No conditions or anything?â
Marcus replied, âThis is a good thing, of course, Iâll back you up all the wayâ
Cornelia was touched, âThank you!â
Marcusâ reply was simple but powerful, Iâm your husband!â
As her husband, his responsibility was not only to protect her but to support everything she wanted to do.
