Chapter 22

That guy laughed and said, “Mr. Hartley is not only young and talented, but also cares a lot about the

general public.”

His topic suddenly shifted. The locals here have been living off farming and raising sheep for

generations, and they just don’t get how to run a B&B or something like that”

The locals here were very simple, but many sppoke dialects, so it’s quite challenging to run a

restaurant or B&B.

Marcus had been exploring the business world for many years and knew exactly what the other person

was thinking, “The Hartley Group has arranged a professional team that will teach them step by step so

that everyone here can live and work in peace and contentment”

The leader laughed again, this time very pleased.

After lunch

After sending off the leader, Cornelia didn’t idle around, and together with Ben and Marcus, they

inspected the situation around the scenic area.

There’s only one road, going straight from the airport to the scenic area, surrounded by rugged

mountain roads and some shabby houses.

The villagers’ homes were s****d all over the mountain, and although it looked close from one house to

another, it took at least half an hour to walk back and forth along the mountain

road

Marcus didn’t mind the tiredness and dirt, he visited each household to learn more about the situation

that he couldn’t learn from Helena.

Just as they were about to return, a loud noise suddenly came from the mountain

As the earthquake struck, loose soil and stones smashed towards them.

“Mr. Hartley, watch out!”

Cornelia shouted

If something happened to Marcus, the entire Hartley Group would be plunged into chaos, and her high-

paying job might not be secure.

Her body reacted faster than her brain, and she quickly pounced on Marcus, trying to block the stones

with her body.

Marcus was facing away from her to her left, noticing the danger later than she did.

When he heard her shout, he turned around and saw Cornelia spread her arms and pounce on him.

Instinctively, he reached out to catch her, and her soft body slammed into his arms, then he felt a stone

hit her shoulder and fall to the ground.

If it weren’t for Cornelia blocking the stone, it might have hit him in the head.

A few seconds later, the surroundings became quiet

Cornelia immediately backed away, ‘Mr. Hartley, are you okay?”

Marcus felt something sticky on his hand and looked down to see blood.

His eyes suddenly turned cold, “Where did you get hurt?”

Cornelia’s left arm hurt badly, but she still managed to smile, Tm so lucky I didn’t hit any vital spots, just

a bruise on my arm.”

“Dont talk!” Marcus’s expression darkened, and he carried her to a relatively safe place nearby, “Ben,

call a doctor right away”

In the just passed danger, Ben instinctively protected himself, and now he was still hiding behind a

huge rock.

Seeing Cornelia get hurt to save Marcus, he felt very ashamed, “Mr. Hartley, I’ll make the call right

away”

He pulled out his phone, but it was void of any signal. “Mr. Hartley,” he said, “There’s no reception here,

I can’t place the call”

“Go to the hotel for help After calmly instructing, Marcus quickly tore off his white shirt, “Cornelia, I’m

going to help you take off your coat and give your wound some initial treatment. Try to endure the pain”

Cornelia knew her injury was severe, and stopping the bleeding was crucial, so she didn’t pretend to be

weak, ‘Marcus, don’t worry, I can bear the pain.”

She has always been afraid of pain since she was young, but she didn’t want him to think she was

pretending to be weak. At the same time, she was also afraid of the cold, wearing a long down jacket

outside, and a sweater and bottoming shirt inside.

She unzipped her down jacket with her uninjured right hand, but it was difficult to take it off, so she had

to leave the task to Marcus

Marcus originally planned to help her take off only the left side of her clothes so that he could treat the

wound, and she wouldn’t feel cold. But since she couldn’t move her left hand, it was impossible to take

off just one sleeve
