Chapter 287
“No way!” was what Cornelia thought inside, but what she said was, “That guy’s a hotshot celebrity,
tons of girls are crazy about him. He’s handsome, who wouldn’t like him?”
Marcus frowned, “Shallow”
He was right there by her side, why couldnt she look at him?
Could it be that in her eyes, he was less attractive than that celebrity?
Cornelia retorted under her breath, “People appreciate beauty men like to look at pretty women, why is
it shallow when girls like handsome guys?”
Marcus is that guy better looking than your husband?”
Cornelia couldn’t remember what Jeremy looked like, how was she supposed to answer that?
Not getting an answer Marcus wouldn’t let it go, “Who’s better looking your husband or that guy? Can’t
answer such a simple question?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCometia thought for a moment, in her memory Jeremy was good looking but he was just an ordinary
guy. That celebrity got famous for his looks, even if he wasn’t as good looking as Marcus, he was
certainly better locking than the average guy
So she responded. “I guess he’s better looking than my husband”
Marcus’s expression darkened, and he retorted, ‘Perhaps you should consider getting your vision
checked in Riverton”
Confused. Comella questioned. “Why are you implying there’s something wrong with my eyesight?
Marcus was too angry to continue the conversation, opting for silence instead. No wonder she had
been avoiding him; it seemed she simply wasn’t interested in him
Just as the tension settled, Cornelia overheard Hannah’s complaint, “I was watching the show, not him.
Do I have to keep my eyes on you at all times?”
Steven adopted a domineering tone asserting. “When you’re with me, you should only have eyes for
me. You should be focusing on me, not other men”
Hannah replied. “I see you every day it’s not as exciting anymore”
Steven, “What did you just say? Say it again!”
Hannah, “Steven, what are you up to now?”
Steven, “You don’t know what I’m going to do?”
Cornelia sneaked a peek at them and saw Steven pinning Hannah against a chair passionately kissing
her
Marcus turned slightly to block Cornellas prying eyes and said, “Please stop looking at things you
shouldn’t be looking at
Comelia immediately averted her gaze, staring fixedly at the stage instead She wondered why all these
guys were so overbeaning and unreasonable The distractions made it hard for her to remember the
performances that followed However, when the main event of the night began, Comelia’s attention
immediately sharpened.
The first item up for auction was a necklace worn by an international superstar, with a starting price of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmforty–five million. As the host initiated the bidding, people from the audience started placing their bids
Leaning towards Marcus, Comelia asked, “President Hartley, do you like it?”
Marcus responded, “Do you like it or not?”
Cornelia smiled and replied, “Why does it matter if I like it? Whether like it or not doesn’t affect the
bidding, and I can’t afford it even if I do”
“Just tell me, do you like it or not?” Marcus insisted. He was willing to buy it for her at any cost if she
liked it.
Comelia shook her head. “The necklace itself isn’t worth much, its value comes from the celebrity
endorsement. I’m not a fan, so Im not interested in this necklace”
While they were discussing someone had already bought the necklace for fifty million
The next item up for auction was an antique painting Since Marcus had an antique painting hanging in
his study, Cornelia thought his target was this painting, so she had done detailed research on this
auctioned painting in advance
Before the host on stage even started introducing it, Cornelia had already leaned in towards Marcus,
quietly detailing the painting’s origins and other information to him
