Chapter 449

“President Hanley” Everyone chimed in unison, no one daring to say another word

“President Hartley Melissa’s tears were flowing like a busted faucet, “I know you hate people talking

behind others‘ backs. But if we’re all too scared to speak up, then honest advice can’t reach you. This

isn’t doing The Hartley Group any good”

“Oh, is this your way of getting my attention?” Marcus sauntered towards Melissa. With each step he

took, his aura seemed to press down on everyone’s hearts, silencing

the room

Standing at a towering 6’2” and combined with his domineering presence, which made Melissa, who

was less than 5’3” even in her 4 inch heels, look like a dwarf in his

presence

How insignificant and laughablel

Marcus looked down on Melissa. “Do you even know who Cornelia is? Is she someone you can just

trash–talk?”

Melissa sobbed, thinking her pitiful state would make any man feel sympathy for her.

She assumed that since Marcus admired Cornelia, he would surely admire her too. So without

hesitation, she lunged at Marcus, “President Hartley, I didn’t mean to ”

Marcus smoothly sidestepped, avoiding this woman he found so repulsive. His eyes glinted with a cold,

lethal intent. “If you dare to touch me, you’ll pay the price.”

Melissa was terrified by the intensity of Marcus’s gaze, and started to feel scared, “1”

“Shut your disgusting mouth Marcus scanned the room and then his gaze landed back on Melissa,

“Cornelia has earned her place through hard work and determination. She worked her ass off for every

penny she has and for every property she owns. Everything she owns, she sweated for it. Just a few

days ago. Cornelia was working on a project with our team until 3 or 4 in the morning. Even when many

of the guys couldn’t take it anymore, she stayed in top form and kept working. A woman as excellent

and hardworking as her, doesn’t she deserve my respect? Doesn’t she deserve my support? Only a

worthless woman like you would stupidly assume a woman’s success has to be dependent on a man.

Maybe you wish someone would help you that way, but with your looks and manners, who would

appreciate you?”

Marcus’s deep, powerful voice echoed around the room, telling every employee how exceptional

Cornelia was and how much she deserved their admiration and respect.

Many of the executive office staff had been working at The Hartley Group for years. They knew Marcus

wasn’t one to talk much. Even at work, they had never heard him speak so much in one go.

Melissa was deeply hurt by his words and began to doubt herself. Everyone had always told her she

was cute and endearing, especially when she smiled. No man could

resist her.

The woman from the Hartley family had seen this in her and got her a job at The Hartley Group so she

could get close to Marcus and replace Cornelia

But Marcus said she was repulsive!

Was she really that ugly?

“Devon, if you can’t manage your employees properly, I’ll find someone who can. With that, Marcus

turned and walked away

Devon was the head of the executive office. He had run into Marcus downstairs today and had invited

him up to see how the executive office staff were getting on.

His plan was to show Marcus how dedicated everyone was, earn some praise and then a promotion

and raise would be just around the corner. But then this had happened

He glared at Melissa, what a nuisance she had turned out to be.

Why had he been so smitten with her in the first place, to the point of getting involved with her?
