Chapter 1246
Hannah chimed in, "Life's been treating me pretty good lately, work's been smooth sailing and I've made a fair bit of dough over the years. I've got enough in the bank to live comfortably even without working. I'm not even thirty yet, and with no husband to bug me. What's there not to be happy about?"
"Same here.’ Cornelia replied with a grin.
"What do you mean?” Hannah asked.
“I'm divorced too." Cornelia said.
Hannah was taken aback, "You and President Hartley are over? Are you drunk and blabbering?"
"Nope, it's the truth.” Cornelia answered.
"But why? You two seemed so solid, and I could tell he really cared about you.” Hannah probed.
Cornelia poured herself a drink and downed it in one go, "No special reason. I just suddenly felt I couldn't be with him anymore, didn't wanna live with him:
“You can't fool me with that” Hannah retorted, ‘I've spilled all my beans, so if you trust me, spill yours."
Cornelia laughed, "He suddenly turned cold, didn't come home for days without giving me any reason. When he did come home, he brought his new assistant and they whispered behind my back. He never let a stranger, especially a woman, stay overnight, but he let his female assistant stay. "
“Isn't his new assistant your long-lost sister, Tahlia?"
Hannah interrupted.
"Yes, two people I cared about betrayed me. If Marcus's new girl was someone else, I could have digested it better, wouldn't have asked for a divorce that quick.” Cornelia said.
“Cornelia.” Hannah looked concerned.
