Chapter 641
“Even in Riverton, people know about your dirty little secrets from Rosenberg Started off seducing other women’s husbands in your teenage years, ended up getting busted by the wife. You’ve lost your innocence a long time ago, and yet you managed to get Marcus to fall for you I admit, you’ve got some skills. I wonder if Marcus regrets ever getting involved with you, or perhaps he just likes a woman who isn’t choosy about her men?”
Clair knew exactly how to ruin the reputation of a young, beautiful and ambitious girl. She just loved spreading rumors.
Society was harsher on girls than boys. Anyone could start a rumor about a girl, saying, “Have you heard about that girl and that guy?” Without needing any proof, they could label her as a homewrecker or a gold digger Rumor spreaders just needed to move their lips, or shared an out–of–context screenshot, and the victim’s reputation could be ruined, facing scorn in their future life.
Cornelia hated these people, despised their nasty habit of gossiping behind people’s backs but not being able to say anything to their faces.
Clair was the epitome of what Cornelia despised, spewing venomous words, completely lacking the grace expected of a wealthy lady.
Compared to Clair’s ugly demeanor, Cornelia seemed calm and composed, “You are such a shameless person. Don’t think everyone is like you, lacking any sense of shame. Everyone in Riverton knows how you destroyed another woman’s marriage to become Mrs. Reese, how dare you criticize others? I live my life openly and honestly I don’t stoop to dealing with shameless people like you.”
When this was mentioned, Clair didn’t feel embarrassed, she felt a sense of pride instead, “How many mistresses don’t want to be the legal wife? How many mistresses can actually become the legal wife? Being able to become the legal wife from a mistress is also a talent. I’d like to see if you have the ability to get Marcus to marry you”
Cornelia sneered, “Maybe I’m already his wife.”
Clair scoffed, “What do you think the Hartley family is? You think the Hartley family would marry a dirty woman with no status or reputation?”
The Hartley family held a high status in Clair’s heart, not only because of the global status of the current Hartley Group, but also because of a secret deeply hidden in her
heart.
When Clair first came to Riverton, the person she wanted to get close to wasn’t Granger. It was the then head of the Hartley Group, Brennen Hartley
