Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014 

Two years ago, it was exactly the time when she and Jeremy got married. During that period, someone was deliberately throwing a wad of cash to tarnish her reputation. 

So, was the cash–thrower someone who knew Marcus? And this person who knew Marcus, wanted to push him into a deep pit from which there was no return, and had the power to pull off these wicked schemes. Apart from Brennen, Cornelia couldn’t think of a second person 

She asked again, “How did they contact you?” 

The woman replied. “The person was very careful, never contacting us by phone. The person meeting us was always changing, and they always arranged to meet in places without surveillance I haven’t been able to get a good look at their face” 

Cornelia asked, “Apart from slandering me, did they ask you to do anything else?” 

The woman replied, “No” 

Cornelia continued to ask, “Has he contacted you since Orlando was jailed?” 

The woman shook her head, “No.” 

Cornelia said, “Okay, let’s keep in touch. If he contacts you again, let me know.” 

The woman said, “Cornelia, I’m sorry. My husband is the only one bringing home the bacon in my family. He has to support the whole family by himself. I just wanted to bring in a little extra dough, so I took the money” 

Cornelia said, “If he gives you money again, just take it” 

The woman said, “If he finds out, he’ll definitely not let me off easily. Even though I haven’t seen his face, I can tell from his back that he’s not an easy person to deal with.” 

Cornelia said, “Whatever.” 

The woman said. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” 

Cornelia nodded, watching her leave. Once the woman was far away, she whispered, “You can come out now.” 

With her words, Marcus‘ tall figure emerged from behind a nearby bush. He had heard the whole conversation between Cornelia and the woman. 

Cornelia asked, “Do you have anyone in mind?” 

Marcus sneered, “Who else could it be?” 

Cornelia thought the same. 

Cornelia asked, “Is he doing this to sway the public opinion and tarnish the Hartley Group when you disclose my identity in future?“! 

Marcus said. “He wants to snatch the company from my hands.” 

Cornelia asked, “Then…” 

Marcus cut her off, “What if I let him have it?” 

Cornelia was taken aback. She was a little angry. “The Hartley Group has grown step by step under your management to the scale it has today. You’ve put so much effort Into IL how can you just hand it over to him?” 

Marcus said, “I’ve only been managing the Hartley Group for a decade or so. Before I took over, it already had a history of nearly a hundred years. There are many complex matters involved. Even though I’ve made a major reshuffle of the internal personnel, there are still some people I couldn’t replace due to the large number of employees. 

Cornelia had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen, “Did Brennen find some leverage to threaten you, or what?”
