Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 

[Comelia looked so innocent, but turned out her private life was such a mess.] 

(Who knew how many people she’d been with, maybe she did something to get transferred to the HQ] 

JA CEO’s assistant was supposed to represent our company’s image, we can’t keep someone like her] 

This scene was just like the one from a few years back. 

It’s easy for these people to ruin a hardworking, somewhat pretty gir 

, just making up stories about her being promiscuous, humiliating her, and then everyone will blame her. 

Vaguely, Cornelia felt like she was being cornered in her home again. 

Some people pulled her hair, hitting her while doing it. Others pointed at her nose, constantly cursing her 

“You’re so young and you’re doing such shameless things.” 

“Let her go, let her go far away, never come back 

She kept trying to explain, but no one believed her. They only wanted to believe what they had already decided. 

“Cornelia, is this true?” 

Ben’s voice pulled Cornelia out of her unbearable memories. 

He had only worked with Cornelia for a little over a month, and he wasn’t too familiar with her. He remained neutral about today’s events. Ben didn’t just read those messages and assume she was a promiscuous woman like the others. He came to ask her, and Comelia was already grateful for that. 

Cornelia forced a smile, “Has President Hartley arrived?” 

Ben, “He just got here.” 

Cornelia took her laptop with her cold hands and went to Marcus’s office. 

He stood by the floor–to–ceiling window, smoking with his back to the office door. Cornelia couldn’t see his expression, only his tall and straight silhouette. 

She gently placed her laptop on his desk, “President Hartley, someone in the company is spreading rumors about my private life, and 1 need to take two minutes of your time to explain.” 

Marcus replied without turning his head, “I’m not interested in your private life, but if there’s a chance it will affect the company’s image, then I’m sorry, we can’t keep you.” 

Cornelia felt like she had fallen into an ice cave because of his words, “President Hartley, please let me explain before… 

Before she could finish, Marcus coldly interrupted, “You say it’s a rumor, then provide evidence to prove it. Пl give you two hours to handle it, or how can I trust your ability?” 

That was all Cornelia wanted to hear, “Thank you, President Hartley!” 

Marcus had hit the nail on the head. If she couldn’t master her own affairs, how could she merit the position of the CEO’s assistant? 

She had to approach him, making the first move, cutting off any chance for him to lend credence to the circulating rumors. 

Otherwise, she risked not only her livelihood, but also tarnishing her professional reputation irreparably. 

Back then, she was young and had no way to fight back against the slander and humiliation. 

Now, she couldn’t be the little girl who let others bully her anymore. 

After leaving the CEO’s office, Cornelia immediately went to the company’s information security department, asking the relevant staff to find the person who posted the message as soon as possible. 

Thanks to Ben’s call, they cooperated with her. 

In just a few minutes, the staff found the name of the person who posted the message. 

The person who posted it wasn’t Eden, as Cornelia had guessed, but she was sure it had something to do with Eden. 

With the list in hand, Comelia immediately called the police… 

The police were quick to respond, and within half an hour, they found the poster’s residence. 

The poster soon confessed that Eden was the mastermind behind it. The police found many photos of Eden stalking and secretly taking pictures of Cornelia in his computer, catching him red–handed. 

When the police came to arrest Eden at the company, Comelia glanced at her watch. It had been exactly two hours, and she finally

breathed a sigh of relief. 

Then, she strode towards Eden and slapped him twice in front of the police. 

After hitting him, amid everyone’s surprised gazes, Cornelia rubbed her hand and laughed, “As a man, you’re bullying a woman, and all you know how to do is slander and defame. Don’t you have any other tricks?” 

“Cornelia, this isn’t over between us.” Eden gritted his teeth in anger, but he had no strength to fight back and was taken away by the police. 

Cornelia called the HR manager in front of everyone, “Notify everyone in the company, anyone who dares to slander and spread rumors about others will never be hired by the Hartley Group.” 

After saying that, not caring if the other party had heard her clearly, Cornelia hung up the phone. 

She then swept her gaze over the twenty or so people in the CEO’s office, “You all saw what happened today. I can kick Eden out of the Hartley Group for slandering me, and I can kick out anyone else who does the same because I have President Hartley behind me.” 

“President Hartley!” “President Hartley!” 

Everyone looked behind her, and one by one, they called out President Hartley. 

Cornelia turned around and saw Marcus standing right behind her, proving her words, [I have President Hartley behind me]. 

She stiffened for a moment, then tried to look natural, “President Hartley!” 

Marcus’s gaze swept over her, not saying anything, and walked away. 

Following him was Ben, who said, “Cornelia, hurry up.” 

Cornelia caught up and listened to Ben, “It’s lunchtime, let’s go to the cafeteria together.”
