Chapter 752
Cornelia said, “How can I know who’s framing me if I don’t see them?”
Ben retorted, “Can you confirm it just by looking at them?”
Comelia said, “Perhaps.”
“We’ve been together for a year, and I know you’re not that kind of person. But as for President Hartley, I can’t be
sure. You need to figure out a solution ASAP. If he gets wind of this, he might not give you a chance to explain, and
he could just fire you on the spot. How will you handle that?” As Ben was speaking and searching for information,
he suddenly went silent in the middle of his sentence.

Cornelia asked, “What’s gone?”
Ben replied, “When I called you, the slanderous messages about you were still spreading. Just in the short time
we’ve been on the phone, there’s not a single piece about you on the internet. All the links my coworkers sent,
they’ve all changed. It wasn’t a broken link; it was a direct change of content.”
At this, Cornelia peered through a crack in the door to see Marcus on the phone. She had a pretty good hunch that
the sudden disappearance of the rumors about her had something to do with him.
Wasn’t he supposed to be napping with her? When did he find out about the rumors spreading about her?
Meanwhile, Ben had the same thought.
To make all the news on the entire internet disappear in an instant, besides Marcus, Ben really couldn’t think of
anyone else who could
do it.
“Cornelia, did President Hartley have your bad press deleted for you?”
If it was indeed Marcus who had the news removed, it was clear that Cornelia held a special place in his heart. If
they were married, that would be one thing, but now they were both having affairs, and Ben didn’t know what to
say, “Cornelia, since everything’s fine now, I won’t keep you from your rest.”
But before he could hang up, he heard Marcus‘ anxious voice through the receiver, “You look a bit pale, when did
you wake up?”
Ben heard it all. It was clear they had been on the same bed. He didn’t want to eavesdrop, but curiosity got the
better of him, so he didn’t hang up, waiting to hear what else Marcus would say.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe waited quietly, and just as he was about to hang up, Cornelia’s tear–choked voice came through, “Were you just
dealing with my problem?”
Then came Marcus‘ steady and firm voice, “Yes. It’s all taken care of, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can
mess with you.”
Cornelia asked, “Why are you so good to me?”
Marcus replied, “You’re my lawful wife, the spouse on my marriage certificate. If I’m not good to you, who should I
be good to?”
Ben listened quietly.
It was like a thunderbolt. Had he misunderstood this whole time?!
He was with them every day and he had no idea Cornelia was the woman Marcus had married two years ago!
