Asking the CEO of the Hartley Group, Marcus, to do the dishes? Even if Cornelia had the guts of a lion,
she wouldn’t dare let him wash them. She said, “Mr. President Hartley, I can do it, don’t worry about it”
Marcus insisted, i do the dishes, and you go take a break”
Cornelia didn’t dare to argue. “But President Hartley
Marcus had to show his bossy side to suppress her, “Just do as I say and don’t argue with ma
“Alright “Since he insisted on washing the dishes, she’d let him do it, and he couldn’t blame her later.
Marcus grabbed the dishes and pans and went to the kitchen, and Cornelia followed him. She couldn’t
just leave him alone and go rest.
Maybe people as capable as him were good at everything, even things they’d never done before. He
looked like a pro washing the dishes.

“Okay“Cornelia couldn’t help but feel like crying. This was just another form of torture for her.
Cornelia went upstairs and had to pass Ben’s room to get to hers
Ben had been watching through the crack of his door and saw Cornelia coming up. He quickly opened
the door, “Cornelia, come here for a second, I need to talk to you”
Comelia approached him, “Ben, what’s up?”
Ben asked, “Don’t you think President Hartley has been acting really weird today?”
Cornelia nodded vigorously, “Yeah, he’s been super nice to me, so nice. It’s actually scary.”
Ben “He’s nice to you but not to me. Did I accidentally do something to piss him off?”
Cornelia disagreed, “Don’t you think his sudden change is even scarier?”
Ben thought about what if Marcus suddenly became super nice to him. The thought of it made Ben
shiver, “Did we do something wrong, and that’s why he’s torturing us like this?”

Ben: “Why don’t you ask him what we did wrong?”
Cornelia: “Are you trying to push me into the fire?”
“Who’s pushing you into the fire?”
They were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn’t notice Marcus had come upstairs until his
deep voice sounded behind them.
Ben, startled, quickly retreated to his room, pretending not to see Marcus
Cornelia wanted to pretend she hadn’t seen him either, but it was too late. Marcus had already walked
up to her, “What were you two talking about just now?”
What were we talking about?” Cornelia scratched her head, trying to come up with a lie, “We were

Marcus: “Are you planning to lie to me?”
Cornelia:
Could he read minds? How did he always know when she was trying to lie to him?
Marcus gave her the answer. “You’re terrible at lying. When you lie, you panic and don’t know what to
do with your hands and feet”
Cornelia:”
Didn’t he understand that some things are better left unsaid?
Marcus smiled, “It’s late, go get some rest.”
President Hartley, wait a moment.” Cornelia quickly ran back to her room and grabbed the bracelet box,
This is the bracelet Old Mr. Abner gave to your wife, I’m returning it to you now”
Marcus looked at the box she handed him it had originally belonged to her, but now she wanted to give
it back to him.
