Chapter 861 Cornelia was puzzled. Why did people naturally blame the woman when a man and a woman were together, assuming it was the woman who seduced the man? In a relationship, it was impossible for only one person to do something wrong. It was a mistake made by two people together, and both should be blamed, so why did people only blame the woman? Yolanda was so angry her face turned red. “Cornelia, how can you say such outrageous things!” Cornelia didn’t have particularly close colleagues at work. She was somewhat close with Yolanda, but not close enough to share everything with her. If Yolanda thought she was outrageous, then so be it. Cornelia turned to leave, but Yolanda got desperate. “Cornelia, aren’t you afraid I’ll make the video public and let everyone in the company see your true colors?” Cornelia turned back and smiled slightly. “If you dared to release the video, you would have done it already. Why would you wait till now? So, what’s your real agenda?”
Cornelia’s calm demeanor made Yolanda doubt herself for a moment. “Is there something going on between you and President Hartley? Did he force you? If so, tell me, and I’ll delete the video and never bring it up again.” But when Yolanda began to accuse Marcus, Cornelia wouldn’t have it. “He never forced me. Everything was voluntary.” “So, there’s no misunderstanding.” Yolanda said. “You’re a homewrecker.” Cornelia neither admitted nor denied it. She was satisfied seeing Yolanda’s rage. “Rumors about you seducing other women’s husbands back in your hometown are all over the internet, and it seems you haven’t changed,” Yolanda said. Cornelia laughed coldly. “Why don’t you respect yourself, even though you have the ability?” Yolanda asked. “Cut the cra p. What do you want me to do?” Cornelia asked. “You resign immediately and leave the Hartley Group. Give up the position that wasn’t supposed to be yours in the first place, and let the person who should have it reclaim it,” Yolanda said. novelbin
“The person who should have the position, is that you?” Cornelia laughed. “In the assessment, I won with a clear advantage. Your scores combined were still lower than mine. If someone as excellent as me is not worthy to be President Hartley’s secretary, then who is?” Yolanda was taken aback, but quickly responded, “I used to admire you because I thought you got this position through your abilities. Now I don’t, because I was wrong. All along, it was your relationship with President Hartley, not your abilities.” That was exactly why Cornelia didn’t want Marcus to reveal their relationship. She had earned her position through hard work, but if people found out about her deeper relationship with Marcus, they would assume she got this position due to a special relationship, negating all her previous efforts. “You know best whether I relied on a special relationship,” Cornelia didn’t want to say much, and turned to leave. Just as she took a few steps, she received a message from Marcus. “I’ve sent breakfast over, come to my office and let’s eat together.” Cornelia replied, “Okay.” When Cornelia arrived at his office, which had a sp ac ious suite including a bedroom, a living room, and so on, Marcus had already set breakfast on the dining table in the living room. “Come and eat.” Cornelia sat down next to him and started eating without a word. Seeing her mood, Marcus reached out and touched her head. “What’s wrong? What happened?” After finishing the food in her mouth, Cornelia spoke slowly, “When you chose me as your assistant out of three candidates, you didn’t know I was your wife, did you?”
