Chapter 580
[Mr. Rivera had me fake it as a couple with that guy, even threatened me that if I didn’t make it
convincing, he’d let the guy have his way with me. To protect myself, I had no choice but to act my
heart out. I thought Mr. Rivera did this to put on a show for Marcus‘ wife, but I didn’t expect you to show
up. That’s one thing I couldn’t figure out
Cornelia said [Give it some time, you should understand then)
So much happened that night and so much to say But when Marcus faced her questions, he didn’t give
a single excuse.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe just asked her if she would trust him. He trusted her, and he hoped she would trust him too.
Sometimes his world was so simple, it was almost laughable.
Natalia said. [Cornelia, when you asked me that day, I wasn’t trying to deceive you. It’s because Mr.
Rivera wouldn’t let me talk. I was afraid that if I said anything, he would do something to me]
Comelia said [I understand now]
Natalia said [Those previous messages were sent by my mom. I really want to be friends with you. Can
you stop deleting me?]
Cornelia nodded [Alright]
Natalia sent a cute emoji, plus a message [Cornelia, once I’m free, I’ll come find you]
Comelia asked [Where has your mom locked you up?]
Natalia replied. [The Reese family mansion. It’s not bad here, although I can’t go out and see the world.
At least I’m not getting beaten up every day]
After sending the message, Natalia realized her slip–up. She hurried to recall the message, but
Cornelia had already seen it.
She didn’t want to say any more about this, and Cornelia didn’t feel right prying, digging up someone
else’s wounds.
Last time, when Natalia asked her to meet, wanting to make amends, Cornelia noticed Natalia’s
bruised lip, and today’s message confirmed her suspicion. Cornelia tactfully said: [Natalia, you’ve done
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme a big favor today. I owe you one. If there’s anything you need, just say it.]
Natalia said (My mom is coming, don’t reply to my messages anymore]
Cornelia didn’t message Natalia again, worrying a single message would cause trouble for Natalia.
Lying in bed, Cornelia looked carefully at the messages Natalia sent.
The person wanting to drive her out of Riverton wasn’t just Clair. Last year Courtney and Eden tried the
same, but failed due to Marcus‘ intervention
As long as Marcus didn’t want her gone, Courtney couldn’t drive her out of town. That shouldn’t be a
secret, so why was Clair so confident?
Could it be?
Thinking of this possibility, Cornelia shivered. Her afternoon drowsiness half gone.
