Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband
Chapter 450

Chapter 450 

He was trying to shake off this mess now, but he bet it was not gonna be a piece of cake. 

The more Devon thought about it, the more he freaked out. He was breaking out in a cold sweat. 

Marcus turned around, totally unaware that Cornelia was standing right behind him. She was watching everything in the office like a bystander 

Marcus was taken aback, but his intimidating aura instantly faded. He even had his voice softened, “Cornelia, how long have you been here?” 

Comelia didn’t answer his question. She just smiled and said, “President Hartley, Robert from Skyline Co. has to leave the country for some business. He was originally planning to sign the contract with you at ten today, but now he wants to move it up by an hour. Seeing as you don’t have anything else going on before ten, I went ahead and said yes 

Cornelia looked relaxed, with a professional smile on her face. Marcus couldn’t tell what she was thinking, which made him even more worried, “Cornelia” 

Comelia smiled and said, “President Hartley, Robert’s team is already waiting in the conference room downstairs. We should hurry over. Any later might be seen as rude.* 

“Alright. Come to my office first. Marcus headed towards his office, with Cornelia following closely behind. 

Once they were in the office, he suddenly turned to her and said, “Cornelia, trust me. I’ve never taken advantage of you or thought about hurting you. Those who slander you in the office, I won’t let any of them off.” 

*President Hartley. I’ve let go of the whole photo incident.” Cornelia had never heard Marcus talk so much at once, and all for her protection. 

She remembered when she first started working for him, he had defended her when partners insulted her. It was then that he told her that she had the entire Hartley Group backing her up. 

It was because of what he said that she had been working by his side for a year, never slacking off, “Thank you so much! Thank you for protecting my reputation!” 

Marcus asked, “So, do you trust me?” 

Cornelia nodded, “Of course I trust you.” 

Marcus wanted to say more, but his phone suddenly rang in his pocket, interrupting their conversation, 

He glanced at the caller ID, then said to Cornelia, “You go ahead and get ready, I’ll be down after I take this call” 

“Okay” Cornelia respectfully left. 

Once Cornelia had left, Marcus went over to a floor–to–ceiling window that overlooked half of Riverton and answered the call, “Talk.” 

The person on the other end said, “President Hartley, only Cameron sent a team to look for the photographer last night. But they didn’t find him, so they were called back” Marcus chuckled, but his eyes were icy and resolute, “Hmm, I set out the bait last night, but not many took it Seems everyone’s gotten more cautious. Or maybe the bait I set wasn’t big enough to attract the big fish.” 

The person on the other end added, “President Hartley, do you want to take action against Cameron? 

Marcus replied, “Wait until the big fish behind him shows up. Let’s not spook the snake in the grass yet.” 

With that, Marcus put away his phone, thinking about the derogatory comments those people had made about Cornelia behind her back. He recalled Cornelia’s indifferent expression when she heard them 

How many times had she been through this to stay so cool in the face of such situations?
