Chapter 947
Marcus said, Iâve got someone looking into Nataliaâs birthday. If the Reese family really is pulling a fast one, we should have proof soon enough.â
Cornelia bit her lip excitedly and immediately whipped out her phone to video call Natalia. The call was picked up quickly. She wanted to ask how Natalia was doing, but before she could say a word, a face she didnât like appeared on the screen. Cornelia asked, âDid you guys take Nataliaâs phone?â
Clair responded with a smile, âNatalia hasnât been in a great mood lately, crying with her phone in her hand I suspected someone might be fooling her, so I took her phone to see who sheâs been talking to. Sheâs your sister, and you should care about her.â
Hearing Clairâs voice, Cornelia immediately ended the call. She turned to Marcus, âI suspect Natalia isnât doing well with the Reese family. They might be restricting her freedom Can you help me out?â
Marcus asked, âHmm, what do you want me to do?â
Cornelia anxiously replied. The Reese family has been wanting to marry Natalia off to you forever, just agreeâ¦â
Before she could finish, Marcus cut her off, âCornelia, youâre my wife, I love only you in this lifetime. Stop overthinking thingsâ
Cornelia immediately hugged Marcus, âI donât mean for you to really marry Natalia, I just hope you can use it as an excuse to have your guys pick her up from the Reese family. Say you want her to stay with you for a few days to get to know each other, they probably wonât decline, right?â
She felt that as long as they could get Natalia out of the Reese family, all problems would be solved.
âIâll arrange for someone to pick her up right away.â Marcus said, looking a bit grim. He felt that in Corneliaâs world, her friends and family seemed more important than him, her husband.
Cornelia gratefully said, âThank you!â
Marcus asked, âWhat if sheâs not your full sister?â
Cornelia replied, âEven if sheâs my half sister, I still hope she can live well.â
Marcus comforted her, âIâll have someone take good care of her. Once weâve sorted things out here and return to Riverton, youâll be able to see her.â
Cornelia didnât say much else, just quietly keeping Marcusâ care for her in her heart.
However, not long after, Cornelia received some disturbing news. Before Marcus could call the Reese family to retrieve Natalia, she had already been picked up by Courtneyâs people and was on a plane to Switzerland. Courtney hadnât been heard from in a while, and her sudden reappearance at this sensitive time to take Natalia away was suspicious.
At that moment, an international call from Switzerland came into Marcusâ phone. He glanced at Cornelia then picked up the call, âWhatâs up?â
Courtneyâs voice was as gentle as ever, âMarcus, Iâm your mother. Canât you be a little polite?â
Marcus, âMhmâ¦â
Courtney said. âYou know Iâm planning to take Natalia to Switzerland, right?â
Marcus said, âWhat does it matter to me whether you do or not?â
