Chapter 906
Cornelia texted back right away. âWe posted the video ourselves. Donât worry about me, Iâm fine.â
Leonardo replied, âYou guys posted the video? Why would you post something like that? Do you know that the whole internet has seen it? Even if itâs blurred, people from your company will surely recognize you. Arenât you afraid of their judgmental looks?â
Cornelia responded, âI donât care!*
Leonardo didnât text back.
Cornelia added, âDo you think if there was no video, people wouldnât look at me differently?â
The photo that Clair uploaded on the internet about Cornelia seducing someoneâs husband was actually a screenshot from this video, which easily led to
misunderstandings. To protect Cornelia, Marcus had all her photos taken down online, but he couldnât erase peopleâs memories
A lot of people at the company were already badmouthing Cornelia because of this photo. She decided to release the video to shut them up.
Leonardo said, âCornelia, now youâre not just Cornelia and President Hartleyâs assistant. Youâre also Marcusâ wife, and the lady of the Hartley Group. You represent the image of the whole Hartley Group. Have you ever thought that once Marc announces your identity, all of this could be used against Marc and the company?â
A long string of messages, Cornelia glanced over, then read it carefully. After finishing, her mood suddenly became very heavy. Indeed, as Leonardo said, before doing this, she had only considered herself and completely disregarded Marcus and the potential impact on the Hartley Group.
Even worse, she didnât think about the people around her!
Granny Luisa was already old and she definitely couldnât handle this. By doing this, Cornelia had undoubtedly punched Granny Luisa in the heart. With Granny Rebeccaâs passing. Granny Luisaâs mental state was already fragile. With this blow, who knew what could happen next.
Just as Cornelia was holding her phone, doubting whether she had made a mistake, Marcusâ deep and powerful voice rang out, âOnce you decide to do something. just go for it. Donât overthink it.â
Cornelia turned her head and looked into his gentle eyes. âDid Leonardo express his concerns to you as well?â she asked.
Marcus replied, âHeâs just overâworried.â
âBut I think heâs right,â Cornelia said. âOnce our relationship goes public, many people will dig into my past. Everything from my past will be dug up and exposed in public. This video could potentially be used against you and the Hartley Group.â
Marcus reached out and gently touched her head, âIs it your fault?â
Cornelia shook her head.
âThen why should they use this to attack me and the company?â Marcus asked.
Cornelia responded despondently. âThose who want to attack you only need an excuse. They donât care if the excuse is valid or not. If I cause any harm to you or the Hartley Group, Iâll feel guilty for the rest of my life.â
