Chapter 604
Clair asked: “What’s up? Spill the beans.”
Cameron replied “Guess what, someone’s been seen sporting a fake version of your necklace”
Clair asked “Who?”
Cameron replied “Marcus‘ assistant, that woman named Cornelia”
The name “Cornelia” stabbed into Clair’s heart like a thorn, making her teeth clench in rage. “Her again. Why is it
always her?”
Cameron asked “What’s your game plan?”

Cameron replied. Tlike the way you think.”
Clair sneered “That woman won’t get another chance. I’ll make sure she leaves Riverton and never comes back.”
Cameron stated ‘Dad’s point is, either we, the Reese family, face embarrassinent tonight, or she does. You decide.”
Clair replied “Got it”
For over two decades, she had met all sorts of people and done all sorts of things to keep her footing in Riverton, to
preserve her status as Mrs. Reese.
Dealing with a young girl? Piece of cake.
Tonight, the spotlight was on the Reese family Everyone else was just a sideshow Unless someone deliberately tried
to steal the scene, they would hardly be noticed…
However, Marcus was the exception. No matter where he went, he was always the center of attention.
When word got out that Marcus was coming to the birthday party, everyone from the Reese family came to greet
him.
Granger, all smiles, shook Marcus hand and patted it ‘Marc, you finally made it.”
Granger had a lot of connections in the business world, and many people respected his dignity, but he knew that to
Marcus, he was no different from anyone else.
He tried to cozy up to Marcus, but Marcus might not appreciate it. That didn’t matter, though..
What mattered was how others perceived his relationship with Marcus. What mattered was how the media
reported on his relationship with Marcus.

However, Granger didn’t anticipate that as soon as he let go of Marcus‘ hand, Marcus assistant would hand Marcus
an antibacterial wipe.
Marcus took the wet wipes and repeatedly wiped the places where Granger had touched over and over again.
Granger’s face turned green, but Marcus just said indifferently, “Mr. Reese, happy birthday!”
The title “Mr Reese” sounded strangely formal.
Granger was inwardly frustrated, but he didn’t dare show his anger. “Your concern is appreciated”
He glanced at Cameron, “Marc, I’ll have Cameron keep you company I have to greet the other guests, but I’ll catch
up with you for a drink later.”
Granger finished talking, but Marcus didn’t seem interested in entertaining him at all.
A man who would abandon his wife for a mistress couldn’t be anything good
Marcus detested such people the most.
