Chapter 373 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Yes, the Padilla family members had lost their ability to earn a living and support themselves They were grateful that Granny Luisa knew how to return a favor. After her son and grandson stopped helping the Padilla family, she would take some dough out of her personal account every month for them. Of course, this little moolah couldn’t satisfy them. They bragged about their tight bond with the Hartley family to everyone, so people would come to them for introductions, hoping to cozy up to the Hartleys. And naturally, the intro fee wasn’t exactly peanuts. Over the years, the Padilla family had raked in a pretty penny through Granny Luisa’s support and the generous gifts from people trying to brown–nose. They now lived a cushy life without having to lift a finger, way better than many others. “Cornelia is yours? You get to decide if Cornelia can work at the Hartley Group? Your relationship with the Hartley family is as tight as family?
• Who do you think you are, spouting such shameless crap?” Marcus‘ voice suddenly echoed from behind Zack and Abigail. His voice was not only deep and strong, but also had a chilling coldness. They turned towards the voice and saw not only the tall and dashing Marcus, but also the elegant and graceful Cornelia, their hands tightly clasped together. Their clasped hands in public was like Marcus acknowledging Cornelia’s status. Zack was pleased that Marcus stepped up to protect Cornelia at this time. Abigail looked worriedly at Cornelia, unsure if she had really forgotten this jerk over the years. She was afraid Cornelia would be hurt by him again. Roman, who was previously clueless about their relationship, now understood everything seeing their hand–holding.
• These two were more than just supenor and employee, they had a secret romance going on. No wonder Cornelia’s two friends could still be so arrogant and rude after hearing about the Hartley family. It was all because Cornelia was seeing Marcus, thinking they had his backing. Marcus was cold–blooded. He was able to send his own father to jail when he was just a teenager. What wouldn’t he do? Roman knew better than to mess with Marcus Reluctantly, he stepped back, “President Hartley, didn’t expect to run into you here. A pleasure to meet you” He stepped forward to shake hands with Marcus, but Marcus didn’t budge. His icy gaze pinned Roman and his voice became even colder. “Cornelia is yours?” Roman didn’t dare to meet Marcus‘ eyes, his gaze shifted to the side, towards Cornelia. Just a few years apart, and the woman who used to drive him crazy had become even more stunning, so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off her, so beautiful that everything else lost color in her presence.
