Chapter 1345

Lately, she had been bombarded with all sorts of nuisance calls, like parenting services and early childhood

education and stuff – it was like her personal info had been blasted all over the place.

She figured this might be another one of those calls, so she just hung up on it. In no time, the same number was

calling again.

Nuisance callers didn’t usually ring twice, so Cornelia picked up, “Hello?”

To her surprise, a vaguely familiar female voice came from the other end, “Cornelia, it’s me. Can we meet up?”

Despite not being on good terms with Courtney, Cornelia responded politely since the woman was being courteous,

“What’s up?”

Courtney responded with the same politeness, “I’ve done some things to you in the past that I’m not proud of and

I’d like to apologize in person. I’m at a café just outside the north gate of your villa right now, can you come over?”

Cornelia checked the time. Almost 8 PM., still snowing outside, not really the best time to head out. “Let bygones be

bygones.” Cornelia said.

You’re gracious for thinking it’s no biggie.” Courtney said, “But I can’t shake this guilt unless I apologize to you in

person.”

“I accept your apology. Let’s leave it at that. Gotta hang up now.” Cornelia said.

“Cornelia.” Courtney hurriedly said, “If you’re not willing to let me apologize in person, can we at least talk about

Marc?”

Upon hearing Marcus’ name, Cornelia felt even less inclined to meet, “Mrs. Kamp, you might not be aware, but

your son and I are divorced now. His issues have nothing to do with me.”

“So you’re refusing to meet me no matter what?” Courtney asked.

Cornelia could tell Courtney’s tone had changed, but she remained polite, “I don’t see the point in meeting.”

“I’ll send you my location and give you ten minutes.” Courtney said, “You must show up.”

Courtney’s condescending attitude and commanding tone irked Cornelia, so she decided to drop the politeness,

“Who do you think you are? Just because you want to see me, I have to come?”

Courtney lost her cool at Cornelia’s words, “Do you know why people can’t stand you?”

“Well, I don’t need you to point it out to me.” Cornelia said.

“Still as sharp-tongued as ever, no wonder Marc dumped you. If you don’t change your attitude, who’d want to

marry you?” Courtney’s every word was an attack, her tone bitter and venomous.

Back in the day, Cornelia might have been hurt by her words. But the Cornelia of today had seen things clearer.

Nice people tend to get pushed around – there was wisdom in the old saying.

She didn’t need to take those words from people she didn’t care about to heart.

She said with a laugh, “Who are you to be lecturing me? Also, it’s not your son who dumped me, but the other way

around. Plus, there are plenty of men. who’d marry me. Whenever I’m ready, I can tie the knot.”

“Cornelia, I don’t know how you won over the Duran family.” Courtney said, “But don’t think you can do whatever

you want just because you have their support. You’ve got ten minutes to show up or else you’ll bear the

consequences.”

“Sure, keep waiting then.” Cornelia said.

Just as Cornelia was about to hang up, Courtney’s voice blared from the phone, “You bitch, where the hell did you

hide Marc? I can’t reach him or find him anywhere.”

Courtney always came off as a cultured woman who stayed calm under any circumstances. But now, her shrill

voice was grating on the nerves, making her sound like a complete shrew.
