Chapter 226

His voice was nice, full of sincerity but also tinged with helplessness and vulnerability.

This was a side of him Cornelia had never seen before, and it stirred up a sense of sympathy within her

despite her lack of experience with marriage.

She said, “President Hartley, I think your mindset is the key to a successful marriage.”

“Really?” Marcus paused before asking. “What do you girls look for in a husband?”

“I can’t speak for others. As for me, I don’t care how much money my husband has, but he must

respect me, my family, and my job and always discuss things with me. It takes two to tango in a

relationship.” Cornelia asserted. She felt that Jeremy had met all these criteria, which made her willing

to date him.

Even when he misunderstood her, he was willing to visit her sick grandmother, which proved that he

respected the elderly.

Listening to Cornelia’s standards, Marcus realized he could meet all of them except for the part about

not needing money. “So, you’re saying he has to be broke?”

Cornelia laughed, saying, “President Hartley, you got it wrong. I don’t need him to be loaded because I

can make money myself. If he can bring home the bacon, that’s even better. We’re both grown–ups,

and as a couple, having finaricial stability can make a family more harmonious.”

Marcus nodded. “I see.”

Cornelia felt a bit embarrassed by his words. She felt like a poser and quickly deflected: “President

Hartley, you should ask people with more experience. I’m just shooting the breeze.”

“You make a good point. Let’s go grab a bite.” It was only then that Marcus noticed Cornelia’s friends

were missing. “Where are your friends?”

“They’ve gone to the basement. They asked me to call you. I got carried away chatting.” Cornelia

laughed awkwardly. “Do you want to ride in my car, or should I call a driver for you?”

“I’ll ride with you, Marcus replied.

Since both Cornelia and Zack had cars, all four of them couldn’t fit in one. Abigail wanted to ride with

Cornelia, but Zack dragged her back to his car and said, “Abby, Nelly’s car is company–issued. It’ll

make us look bad if you ride with her.”

Abigail retorted, “Even if the car is from the company and not Nelly’s, what’s the problem? You’re

usually not this petty, why do you dislike Marcus so much?”

Zack said, “I’m just worried Nelly might get hurt.“.

Abigail said, “Nelly said he’s a good guy.”

Zack said, “That’s exactly why I’m worried. Have you ever heard Nelly praise any other guy except me

in all these years?”

Abigail thought for a moment; indeed, she hadn’t. “But he really is a good guy.”

Zack: “You little nitwit, what I’m trying to say is that if Nelly really likes him, she’ll believe anything he

says. If he wants to deceive Nelly, it’ll be a piece of cake.”

Abigail: “Why would he necessarily want to deceive Nelly?”

Zack: “It’s a gut feeling as a guy.”

Abigail: “You doofus, just drive. If you keep badmouthing Marcus, Nelly might actually get mad at you.”

Zack: ”

Zack truly believed that Marcus was out to trick Nelly!

Why did no one believe him?
