Chapter 675
Who would believe that a mosquito bite could leave such a huge mark? No one dared to question it, though
But noticing the strange lock in both Marcus and Comelia’s eyes they decided that there must be some secret
between the President and his assistant
The elevator quickly arrived at the floor whem the President’s office was located. As soon as she stepped out of the
elevator, Cornelia immediately contacted Dr Lester “Dr. Lester, are you there yet”
Dr Lester replied “Comelia, I’m really sorry, but I might be a bit late”
Cornelia heard some noise on Dr. Lester’s end. “What’s going on?”
Dr Lester replied “After receiving your message. I packed up and headed straight to the Hartley Group’s
headquarters. I should have been there by now But on the way, my car’s brakes suddenly failed and I hit the car in

Comelia sensed something. Your brakes failed?”
Dr Lester replied, “Yes, I just had them serviced last month. This shop is really unreliable”
Dr. Lester’s answer confirmed Cornelia’s suspicion, Dr. Lester, President Hartley can wait, just be careful. Where
are you now? I’ll send someone to find you”
Dr. Lester replied, “Don’t worry, I can handle this little problem”
Comelia said, “Okay just be safe”
The elevator malfunction, Dr. Lester’s brake failure, these seemingly coincidental events definitely had issues
behind them.
After the call ended, Cornelia rushed into the President’s office, “President Hartley, I suspect the elevator failure
was intentionally caused The Hartley Group always takes safety seriously and the elevators are regularly
maintained, especially the ones for the President. They are checked daily. In theory, there shouldn’t be any sudden

Before she could finish, she noticed Marcus was on the phone
Marcus was standing by the window, giving some instructions over the phone. After he finished, he turned to look at
Cornelia.
Cornelia asked him, ‘Do you also suspect the elevator was tampered with?”
Marcus looked at Cornelia, his eyes full of admiration, “Yes, I’ve already had someone look into it. We’ll know soon
whether it was human intervention.”
Marcus was indeed extraordinary. Despite the shock he had just received, he was able to recover his composure in
no time and even arranged for people to investigate the
incident

Marcus laughed, “Silly girl, they have never been a match for me”
Other than the Reese family, Cornelia had a vague idea who it could be but she wasn’t sure, President Hartley, I
suspect our opponent knows you and the people around you very well. It must be someone you’re familiar with. Dr.
Lester’s brakes failed on his way to the company, I think that was also deliberate”
Marcus knew exactly who the opponent was, but he didn’t want Cornelia to worry too much, “It doesn’t matter who
the opponent is. All you need to know is that no one dares to hurt you, you’re safe”
Hearing this, Cornelia was furious. “Do you think I care who the opponent is only because I’m worried for myself?
Yes, I admit I’m a scaredy–cat, I do get scared. But what I’m more worried about is something happening to you.”
He had no idea how worried she was when he was having trouble breathing in the elevator She was terrified that
something would happen to him, that he would leave her just like her father did
Marcus said, “Nothing’s gonna happen to me, don’t worry”
