Julian Ruff, “If you didn’t upset him, then why did the Hartley Group release a statement saying they won’t do business with Ruff Corporation? You better get back here and deal with this mess”
Although the Hartley Group and Ruff Corporation didn’t directly cooperate the business world was a tangled web Even without direct cooperation, there were indirect interests The Hartley Group making such a statement was like telling all companies associated with them, not to have any dealings with Ruff Corporation
Hayden Ruff was in a complete fap, while Marcus and his group had arrived at a restaurant

Comelia responded confidently. “President Dixon, if you paid me, I could be this attentive to you too”
Steven embraced his wile and replied, “No need, the care of my wife is all I need”
Lucas interjected, “Marc, haven’t you spilled the beans yet? Does she still not know about your relationship?”
Zavier, finding amusement in Marcus’s predicament after his own wife had left, remarked with a mischievous grin, “Just look at him, biting his lip. It’s clear he doesn’t have the courage to tell her

Hannah and Rosie both asked, “Would you?”
At the table, everyone was chattering away, creating a lively atmosphere, with only Cornelia focused on her food
Lunch was at one in the afternoon, she had just landed and didn’t have much of an appetite then.
Now it was past ten at night, Cornelia was hungry and the dishes were delicious–she had to eat more
Each time Hannah saw Cornelia’s hearty appetite, she couldn’t help feeling envious “Comelia, you must be one of those people who can eat anything and not gain weight”
Hearing her name, Comelia looked up and replied. “When I was a child, I used to be very chubby My grandmother would always say that people wanted to touch my round face whenever went out. But maybe due to an illness i had later on, I lost a lot of weight, and since then, it’s been difficult for me to gain weight”
Concerned, Hannah asked, “What was the illness? Does it still affect you now?”
Cornelia laughed and replied. “I honestly don’t remember”
Although Comelia claimed she couldn’t recall, Marcus knew the truth. It wasn’t an illness, but rather a consequence of her father’s car accident Cornelia was devastated by the incident and couldn’t keep any food down, nearly losing her life.
