Chapter 753
No wonder when he used to think Cornelia had a thing for him, President Hartley would act all weird and stuff, even
made him question. his own looks.
No wonder nothing he ever said to the president had any effect, while he would listen to whatever Comelia said.
No wonder the president would stay the whole night in Cornelia’s room when she got wasted.
All the stuff that didn’t make sense before, it all added up now.
Marcus was still the same Marcus that he knew, someone who was virtuous and had never engaged in promiscuous
relationships outside
The two people on the other end of the line were still talking, but Ben didn’t dare eavesdrop anymore. He quickly

In the last few days, he had cursed them both countless times in his mind, thinking they were such jerks. Thankfully,
he only cursed in his head, not out loud. Otherwise…
He quickly ran through the last year in his mind. He hadn’t done anything over the line to Cornelia. Not only had he
not bullied Cornelia in the past year, but he had also always protected her.
He felt so relieved!
Meanwhile.
Cornelia looked at Marcus with worry written all over his face. She had so much she wanted to say, but in the end,
she only asked him one question, “Did you see those photos?”
Marcus nodded, “Yeah.”
He was typically quick to jealousy, so why was he so calm now, as if he didn’t care at all about those pictures,
“Those are pictures of me in bed with other men. As my husband, why are you so calm after seeing those?”
Marcus, “Am I calm?”
He wasn’t calm, not at all! He wished he could immediately rip those who tried to violate her and spread rumors to
hurt her into pieces. But in front of her, he had to be calm. He wanted her to know this wasn’t a big deal, and that
he could handle it.
Cornelia suddenly let out a laugh, “You saw it. Haven’t you ever doubted, maybe the truth is that I seduced
someone else’s husband and got caught by their wife?”
Marcus, “Are you that kind of person?”
Cornelia, “I’m asking you.”

Marcus, “I’ve been with you for a year. Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are?”
Cornelia, “Then what kind of person am I in your eyes?”
Marcus, “You’re ambitious, optimistic, and you shine wherever you go. You’re always the center of attention.”
Cornelia admitted she was ambitious and optimistic, but she didn’t realize she was the center of attention wherever
she went. Especially in the last year, after working with Marcus, she felt overshadowed by him everywhere she
went. Hardly anyone even noticed her. She didn’t expect him to think so highly of her.
Cornelia said again, “You saw them, and so did many others. You can delete all the pictures and rumors about me
online, but you can’t erase people’s memories. If one day you publicly acknowledge me as your wife, I’m sure
many people will bring this up again. Then, won’t you feel embarrassed?”
“Cornelia!” Marcus called her name deeply, “First of all, you need to understand that you’re the victim in this
situation. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
