NovelOnlineChapter 547
Comelia was clutching her chest with one hand while trying to push Marcus away with the other but he
stood firm like a mountain, unyielding to her efforts.
In desperation, Comelia even resorted to using her feet “I told you to leave, don’t touch me!”
Marcus grabbed her tightly, his handsome face filled with a serious expression “Cornelia, stop
struggling! What happened? Tell me!”
Maybe his aura was too intimidating, or maybe because she’d been working under him for so long that
she was used to obeying him.
He told her to stop moving, and she really did, obediently laying on the bed like a lamb waiting for
slaughter.
She couldn’t break free from his control no matter how hard she tried. Now, even her thoughts were
under his control. For a moment, Cornelia felt like a puppet in his hands, he could manipulate her as he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtliked. As long as he didn’t let go, she couldn’t escape.
This thought made Cornelia’s emotions completely break down. ‘I told you to let me go, can’t you hear
me? Who the hell are you? What do you want?”
“Okay, I’ll let you go But you promise me, stay still, let’s talk, okay?” Cornelia’s reaction was abnormal,
forcing Marcus to step back.
He had to find out why Cornelia was reacting so desperately, so he could respond appropriately and
calm her down.
Cornelia didn’t listen to him. Once she got her freedom, she slid off the bed from the other side.
In this moment, she had lost all reason and blurted out, “You’re nobody to me, why should I talk to you?
You’re Marcus, the CEO of the Hartley Group, my superior. You’re not my husband, my husband is
Jeremy. It can only be Jeremy. I will always only be an employee to Marcus…”
These words were like needles stabbing into Marcus’s heart, the pain spreading throughout his body.
The pain was so intense it made his temples throb, his forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he could
taste the metallic taste of blood in his mouth…
Marcus didn’t want Cornelia to see his pitiful state, nor did he want her to worry. Even though he was
weak to the point of nearly collapsing, he still turned around elegantly slowly took out a tissue to cover
his mouth, and spit out the blood.
When he turned around to walk towards Cornelia again, his foot slipped. His tall body weakly fell
towards Cornelia…
Inside, Cornelia wanted to dodge, but her body was more honest than her heart. Instinctively, she
caught his body falling towards her, a wave of concern washing over her. “President Hartley, what’s
wrong?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry…” Marcus leaned on her shoulder, inhaling her unique scent. In that moment, his
unease suddenly subsided.
*President Hartley, you… Cornelia wanted to say something, but she was interrupted when Dr. Dawson
burst into the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDr. Dawson scolded harshly, “Cornelia, do you want Marcus to die? Is that when you’ll be satisfied? I’ve
already said, he doesn’t need you here, but you still came. Since you’re here, you should sit quietly
with him, not upset him. If something happens to him, can you bear that responsibility?”
Marcus couldn’t tolerate anyone treating Cornelia this way. Even in his semi–conscious state, his words
still carried overwhelming authority “Please leave!”
Dr. Dawson understood Marcus’s ‘leave‘ not only meant leaving the room, but also leaving his life. He
wouldn’t allow her to stay by his side anymore.
She couldn’t accept this reality. “Marcus, I’ve been with you for over 20 years. I’ve watched you grow
up… Now you want me to leave for a woman you’ve only known for a year?”
Marcus glanced at her with a cold and terrifying gaze behind his glasses. “You’ve been by my side for
over 20 years, yet you still don’t understand your place. Why should keep you around? Ayden!”
Ayden followed obediently, without saying a word. He grabbed Dr. Dawson and started walking towards
the exit.
Dr. Dawson felt desperate, and shouted back at Marcus as she was being dragged away, “Marcus, I
can accept you telling me to leave, but you can’t let Cornelia stay by yo side, she will get you killed for
sure…”
