Cornelia answered, “I don’t want to
Asking Comelia to refer her superior, whom she had worked for a year, as her husband did indeed make her feel a bit uncomfortable and was difficult to adapt to
Marcus had to compromise, “Then call me Jeremy”
“Jeremy! Jeremy Comelia called out twice, feeling this name was much better, “Where are we going now?”
Marcus drove off the highway. “You’ll know when we get there
Cornelia asked, “Why do you go by Jeremy?”
Marcus glanced at her. “That’s a long story, do you want me to take my time and tell you?”
Cornelia quickly nodded, “Of course I do”
Although he had been her supenor for a year, and her husband for two, Cornelia knew very little about him. She wanted to know more about him, including his childhood which he was reluctant to bring up
She was willing to listen, and Marcus was happy, so he began to tell his story. “The Hartley Group originally started as a handmade clothing shop. My great grandfather was so good at making clothes that he was chosen as the first designer in Riverton, and became famous overnight. Everyone was proud to wear his clothes.
“His clothes were in high demand, and prices were sky high in the market
“He seized the business opportunity and opened a clothing factory From then on, the foundations for the now massive Hartley Group were laid
“However, my great grandfather was always an artist at heart, and he cared more about making good clothes than making more money
“The thriving development of the Hartley Group was during the time when my grandfather and grandmother were running it
“My grandfather, who always wanted to make money, met a lady from the Artis family who wanted to expand the family business. They were business rivals at first and didn’t see eye to eye But after several encounters, they began to appreciate each other, and eventually became a family novelbin
Both my grandparents were very determined people. Under their efforts, the Hartley Group grew stronger each day and gradually became the top family in Riverton”
Cornelia asked in surprise, “So Granny Luisa is our Hartley Group’s co–founder?”
Marcus chuckled “Don’t you think she fits the part?”
“I didn’t recognize her Every employee of the Hartley Group knew one of the founders, Luisa. Not only was she the wife of the previous CEO, her deeds were also legendary Without her, there would be no Hartley Group today
Cornelia had never thought the kind and gentle Granny Luisa she knew would be the legendary figure of the Hartley Group, Luisa
The Hartley Group had an introduction to Luisa’s life and achievements, along with a picture, but the picture was of her when she was young, very different from the Granny Luisa Cornelia had met, so Cornelia didn’t recognize her
Marcus gently said, “It’s okay, it’s never too late to know”
Comelia said, “Keep going, I want to hear more about grandpa and grandma.”
As he continued, Marcus’s eyes became somewhat melancholic, “Grandpa and grandma expanded the scope of the Hartley Group together, but due to his long–term overwork, grandpa’s health became very weak. His last few years were spent on the sickbed.
“During those years, he felt very depressed. He couldn’t get out of bed to work, and he felt that his existence was just a burden to grandma.
“Grandma had to take care of the company and him. He thought his absence would make grandma’s life easier.
“One day, after grandma left, he ended his life in an extreme way…
Upon hearing this, tears uncontrollably slid down Cornelia’s cheeks, one by one, like pearls falling off a string unstoppable.
Marcus was very womed and quickly pulled over, “Cornelia, what’s wrong? Tell me what happened?”
