Chapter 999
While diving Dylan said “I used to work with President Hartley for several years before being transferred to Rosenberg a couple years back, so I’d say I know him pretty
well”
Cornelia asked. “What do you know?”
Dylan replied “Despite the fact that people think he’s an ice–cold bastard, he’s really not He’s always treated us loyal underlings fairly”
Cometra laughed and said. “How much of the rumors out there are actually true? When it comes to gossip, people believe whatever they want to believe, and how many actually care about the truth?”
Just like her own experience. the footage from the day of the incident had been made public, and the cops had caught the culprit, yet some people still blamed her Some even claimed the publicized footage was doctored, otherwise why wasn’t it released at the time Cornelia had seen right through these people
Dylan said. “Powerful people like President Hartley don’t seem to care about what the public thinks of them.”
Cornelia responded, “No matter how powerful he is, he’s still human with feelings”
Dylan nodded and said. “True that Then he asked. “I remember you have a bestie. She came back with you to Rosenberg last time, how come she didn’t come back with you this time?”
Comelia answered, ‘She’s in Rosenberg now” As she said this, a call from Abigail Young came in Cornelia said, “Speak of the devil, she’s calling”
Dylan was glad to hear this, but he kept his cool and continued driving.
Cornelia picked up the call, and heard Abigail loudly saying, “Weren’t you supposed to arrive at noon? It’s almost one o’clock now, where the hell are you?”
Cornelia replied. “I took my little sister to pay respects at our grandma’s grave. Now I’m on my way home.”
Abigail asked, “How much longer will you be?”
Cornelia answered, “Around ten minutes, I guess.”
Abigail said, “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you downstairs. My mom made a bunch of delicious food.”
Cornelia replied, “I remember your mom is a fantastic cook, can’t wait to have some good food.‘
Abigail said, “You didn’t get to try her home–cooked meals last time you were here, she’s been wanting to cook for you”
Comelia replied, “Better late than never”
Abigail said, “Alright, drive safe. See you soon.”
Cornelia replied, “Okay.”
About ten minutes later, they arrived at their neighborhood entrance. Abigail had been waiting at the entrance. Seeing their car pull up, she immediately ran over, yelling, ‘Smelly Nelly……
She noticed Tahlia behind Cornelia, and said, “So she really is the daughter of the Reese family”
Cornelia replied, “She’s no longer associated with the Reese family She’s now a Stewart. Her name’s Tahlia. You can call her Tahlia like I do.”
