NovelEnglishChapter 553
“The sound of a man’s voice echoed behind Cornelia, President Hartley didn’t suffer any trouble after
you left. It was actually when you were here that he experienced many things his body couldn’t bear
“So, are you blaming me? Cornella turned sharply to look at Ayden, her gaze piercing, “Don’t try to
push all the problems onto me”
If she had really done something wrong, it was that she shouldn’t have come to Marcus seeking the
truth. If she pretended to know nothing, then there wouldn’t be any problems
Ayden completely ignored her and said, “President Hartley lay in the ICU for two days, and only
stabilized tonight. He just woke up not long ago, and you came. You didn’t notice that he wasn’t feeling
well because President Hartley knew you were coming, so he had someone put on makeup to not

you said some things that made him feel sad…”
Every word Ayden said seemed to be blaming Cornelia, as if everything that happened to Marcus in the
ICU was all her fault.
It was like many years ago when her father died in the car accident, and many people blamed her,
saying that she brought bad luck and that her existence led to her parents‘ divorce and her mother’s
misfortune
Those voices said that if it weren’t for her, her mother wouldn’t have left Rosenberg, and her father
wouldn’t have died in the car accident….
At that time, she was still young and couldn’t judge night from wrong. She believed those lies, and now
every time she thought about it, she still blamed herself.
Only her grandmother told her more than once that everyone’s life was their own choice, her mother
leaving was her mother’s choice, her father’s car accident was fate’s arrangement, and those things
had nothing to do with her..
It was her grandmother’s gentle voice that helped Cornelia, who was deeply immersed in self–blame,
find herself again.
Yes, it had nothing to do with her! Why were they blaming her for Marcus‘ illness?
Cornelia squeezed her trembling hands, trying her best to stay calm, “Oh… I hurt his heart? Why don’t
you say it was your mother who hurt his heart?”
Ayden obviously didn’t expect Cornelia to say that and was stunned for a moment before saying, “My
mother loves President Hartley more than she loves us. How could she
hurt him?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“So, the only one who could hurt President Hartley is me?” Cornelia said, and then laughed.
These people were strange. Whenever someone had a problem, they had to blame her. This time, no
matter what, she wouldn’t accept this responsibility and wouldn’t let herself feel guilty
Cornelia told herself this, but she couldn’t control her inner worries and self–blame, especially when
she saw Marcus‘ pale face in the ICU….
“Do you understand your identity?” The man’s voice sounded behind Cornelia again, full of contempt
and sarcasm.
There was something wrong with this voice. Ayden’s tone wasn’t like this, and there wasn’t this kind of
derogatory and mocking undertones.
Cornelia turned her head again to look at this man, and finally noticed the difference between him and
Ayden. This person’s face didn’t have any scars. “You’re not Ayden?”
Jayden smiled coldly. “Did I ever say I was?”
Cornelia asked. “Then who are you?”
