Chapter 680
He was seriously disappointed in Cornelia Normally, he’d call her by her first name in a warm and friendly manner,
but this time he called her “Ms Stewart“, which was cold as ice.
Cornelia knew she was misunderstood but didn’t bother to explain, “Isn’t that what I am now?”
The fact that she could say such a shameless thing blew Ben’s mind. He was deeply disappointed in Cornelia, “You
knew President Hartley was married yet you seduced him. Don’t you have a sense of propriety and decency?”
Cornelia just chuckled, “Why does it have to be me seducing President Hartley, and not him seducing me?”
Her response made Ben tremble with rage. “How can you say such shameless things? It was dark in the elevator,
but I’m not blind I saw you throw yourself at President Hartley He kissed you because of your initiative How dare
you say it’s President Hartley who seduced you? I really underestimated you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe more Ben scolded, the more flustered he became. Seeing Ben all fired up made Cornelia want to tease him
further, “You’ve been around President Hartley for so many years, have you ever seen anyone successfully seduce
him?”
Ben seriously pondered Cornelia’s question. There were indeed numerous women who had tried to woo President
Hartley over the years, all sorts of types.
There were hot chicks, innocent girls, even married women. Overall, there was no shortage of them, “What does
this have to do with whether anyone has seduced President Hartley>”
Cornelia replied, “If he didn’t initiate it, how could I dare to seduce him? Aren’t I afraid he’ll fire me? You know how
hard it was for me to get this job, why would I jeopardize my future?”
Cornelia’s argument made sense to Ben, and he started to waver, “So you’re saying President Hartley forced or
tricked you?”
He’d known Cornelia for a year, and whether she had feelings for Marcus was pretty clear. In his mind, Cornelia had
always been a hard–working and outstanding girl, who definitely wouldn’t seduce someone else’s husband
Cornelia replied. “Not at all.”
Ben grumbled, “Stop defending him. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He appears to be a gentleman in public, but
who knows what he’s done behind people’s backs
Comelia wasn’t pleased to hear Ben bad mouth Marcus, “President Hartley is not like that Stop slandering him.”
Ben retorted, “Who’s standering him? I saw him taking a drunk girl into a room, stayed there all night. I walked in
on him, and he wasn’t even embarrassed. It’s like he does this sort of thing on a regular basis.”
Hearing this made Cornelia extremely anxious, “When did this happen?”
Ben explained “During the Year 3033 Tech Expo at the Capital, you got drunk one night. I saw President Hartley
taking you to your room and he stayed there all night”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia was left speechless
So, that feeling she had at the Capital, as if Marcus wanted to kiss her. It wasn’t a dream, it actually happened?
Marcus had been silently protecting her all this time when she was still figuring out their relationship.
Cornelia felt deeply moved, but Ben continued to grow angrier, “I warned him back then, but he just got mad at
me. I hate myself for always being too scared to confront him whenever I see him“.
Cornelia scratched her head awkwardly, “You’ve been with him for so many years, you’ve never seen him act this
way with any other girls, have you?”
Ben replied, “Indeed, that was the only time. But he’s always been good at keeping secrets. I wouldn’t know about
things he didn’t want me to know”
These words made Cornelia very happy, as they confirmed that Marcus was as rumored. He didn’t casually engage
with girls.
But Ben was still indignant on behalf of Cornelia, “Cornelia, you have to be brave. If Marcus dares to force you, I’ll
be on your side to fight him!”
“Fight who?” The door suddenly opened, and Marcus’s deep voice echoed in.
