Chapter 602
Marcus, looking down at her, asked, “Who are you looking for tonight?”
It seemed like he already knew the reason why she came to this gathering Seeing as she couldn’t hide it from him, Comelia carne clean, “Natalia”
Marcus asked, “You don’t trust me?”
Comelia replied “Nah, it’s not that I need her for something else.”
Marcus said, “Go find whoever you want I got your back, don’t worry about anyone else”
Cornelia responded, “Okay”
Leonardo curiously asked, “What are you two whispering about? Got some secret we can’t know?”
Ryan knew some things, but he couldn’t spill the beans. He quickly stopped Leonardo, “Easy Leo, some things are better left unknown”
Leonardo asked, “Why?”
Ryan intentionally patted Leonardo’s shoulder heavily and said, “Leo, we’ve been together since we were kids. When did you get so nosy?”
Leonardo asked, ‘What are you implying?”
Ryan gave him a helpless look and then said to Marcus and Comelia, ‘Let’s go inside.”
Leaving Leonardo alone in the breeze.
Cameron returned to Granger with news. Granger asked, “Is this info accurate?”
Cameron replied, “The woman isn’t his wife, just his assistant. The guests haven’t seen her before, so they assumed she’s his wife.”
Granger said, “Marcus is not just crafty, he’s ruthless too. He might have known what we’ve been up to all along. We need to figure out how to deal with him ASAP or all our efforts will be wasted”
Cameron asked wornedly. “So what do we do now?”
Granger replied. “Keep cool, roll with the punches. Your sister is a vital piece, make sure she’s put to good use”
Cameron nodded, “Got it.” He then said, “Dad, I noticed that Marcus‘ assistant is also weaning a ‘Heavenly Radiance‘ necklace”
Granger turned his head in surprise, looking at Clair who was proudly showing off the necklace around her neck to the crowd in the distance. Even without hearing the chatter of the women, he could guess what they were saying They must be complimenting him for buying a $30 million necklace for his wife.
The value of the $30 million necklace lay in its opulence, not its beauty
Cameron was disgruntled that his father splurged $30 million on a necklace for that woman, but now was not the time for infighting. They needed to band together against their common enemy. “Dad, want me to stir up some trouble for her?”
Granger looked away. “Do you really think Marcus would buy a $30 million necklace for his assistant?”
Cameron replied, “So we do nothing and let her be the laughing stock tonight for wearing a fake.”
