NovelOnlineChapter 506
After trudging through a winding path, Cornelia finally spotted the building Right ahead was what
seemed like a recreational area, pretty spacious There were a few villas scattered around. The so
called clubhouse was probably Zavier’s private estate in Riverton. He never entertained quests there.
A suited man escorted Cornelia to her destination, then vanished like a ghost
Cornelia glanced around. Not a soul in sight. The lighting was dim, making the place feel rather
unsettling “Mr. Rivera, I’m here Where’s Marcus?”
No one responded, but one of the villas had a faint light on Cornelia guessed that Marcus and Zavier
were probably there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she headed towards the villa, a gloomy voice echoed, “Ms Stewart, you finally made it. You sure
kept me waiting”
Following the source of the voice, Cornelia found no one. After her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she
spotted Zavier in black leaning against a tree with a nearly finished cigarette in his hands
Cornelia noticed that Zavier had been smoking every time she saw him recently. Perhaps, not being
able to torment Skyler, he chose to torment himself instead.
He was polite, and so was Cornelia. “Mr. Rivera, where’s President Hartley?”
Zavier pointed to the house behind him, “He’s inside waiting for you. You go fetch him.”
“Thanks, Mr. Rivera‘‘ Cornelia was still wary of Zavier, so she didn’t just barge in. She inspected her
surroundings, ensuring there was no danger before stepping inside
But she didn’t expect the sight and sounds that greeted her, causing her to blush. She immediately
backed out and softly closed the door, “Zavier, have you gone nuts? President Hartley’s wife is here
too, and you’re asking me to fetch him.”
Zavier chuckled, “Are you sure that’s President Hartley’s wife?”
Cornelia was taken aback, “What do you mean?”
Zavier lit another cigarette and took a few drags, Tonight, after Marc dropped you home, he ran into
Natalia. She’s been infatuated with Marc for years, and she made another move on him tonight. Marc
was going to reject her, but he had a few drinks, and well, things happened.”
Zavier was convincing, but Cornelia just couldn’t believe it. She had faith that Marcus would never do
such a thing, “Mr. Rivera, you better not be spewing nonsense. A man of integrity cares about his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreputation.”
Zavier stepped closer, seemingly trying to overpower Cornelia with his height, “You trust him that
much?”
Cornelia stood her ground, ‘I’m his employee, and he pays my salary. Why would I trust you over him?”
Zavier, “Then what did you see just now? What did you hear?”
Cornelia was mortified. “I…”
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay calm, “I didn’t get a clear look at the two people on the
bed, nor did I hear clearly How am I supposed to know that it was Marcus?”
She had switched from calling him “President Hartley” to “Marcus,” a detail that didn’t escape Zavier, “If
you’re not sure, you can always go back in to check.”
“That wouldn’t be appropriate… I don’t want to intrude,” said Cornelia. Despite this, she was itching to
go back in and confirm whether it was Marcus and Natalia in the room. Otherwise, the doubt would nag
at her like a thorn in her side, probably affecting her work in the future.
