“Without grandpa and grandma, the Hartley Group was like a ship without a rudder, quickly falling into the hands of others. And Brennen was just a puppet in their game
“The incompetence of that man gave the people with ulterior motives towards the Hartley Group an opportunity. They worked together and put the Hartley Group into a
crisis.
“Realizing he couldn’t turn things around on his own, Brennen married Courtney, the daughter of the Kamp family. He used the Kamp family’s influence to regain control of the Hartley Group
“The union of the Hartley and Kamp families turned out to be a lifesaver for his career. He gradually gained some real power in the Hartley Group
“I was born during that critical period. To ensure my safety, grandma announced to the outside world that my name was Marcus, but I actually go by Jeremy.
“Before high school, I was known as Jeremy. It wasn’t until I took over the Hartley Group that the name Marcus became widely known”
Brennen was Marcus’s biological father, and also the man Marcus personally put behind bars. Cornelia’s first time hearing about Brennen was from Marcus, and she didn’t expect it to be under such circumstances.
Since Marcus took over the group, he erased all information about Brennen. So newcomers like Cornelia had no way of knowing what kind of person the former president
Was
All she knew was his name: Brennen!

“We don’t have to talk about that man, if you don’t want to… Cornelia knew Marcus’s taboo, so she didn’t directly mention it, but Marcus understood her

Upon reaching their destination, Cornelia found out that Marcus had brought her to the famous Sunset Hotel in Riverton, also the top high–end restaurant for couples dates The hotel was built on seaside rocks. With glass–suspended decorations, you could see the waves rolling under your feet. Look far and you could see the red sun slowly sinking into the sea, forming a magnificent sunset view.
The scenery was beautiful, but of course, it wasn’t cheap A visit here would set you back at least a few thousand bucks
Being frugal, Cornelia cringed at the thought of spending thousands just to see a sunset that could be seen anywhere. “Mr. Hartley, the sunset doesn’t seem that special”
Marcus, “Are you worrying about the money again?”
Cornelia wasn’t afraid of his teasing. “Yes.”
Marcus chuckled, ‘The owner of this restaurant is named Jeremy.”
Cornelia, “You mean you invested in some small projects under the name Jeremy?”
These projects weren’t really small. They were just small compared to the projects the Hartley Group was involved in. Otherwise, a project that at least made a few million a year could hardly be considered
small
Marcus, “Still worried about the money?”
Comelia. Not anymore.”
In fact, she was even a little excited.
