Chapter 451 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Upon seeing the transferred amount on his phone, Diviner Damian’s eyes lit up with joy. “Thanks guys! If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to ask Ayden warned, “You can’t spill a word to anyone else about this. Diviner Damian assured, “Don’t worry, my lips are sealed” Ayden dismissed him, “You can go now” Diviner Damian left beaming with joy. Ayden turned to Marcus. “President Hartley, your plan worked like a charm. Granny Luisa already had Bri call you back.” Marcus responded. “I should head back. Keep your eyes on Robison. We can’t afford him stirring up trouble.” “Roger that!” As Ayden’s gaze shifted behind Marcus, his face suddenly paled, “President Hartley, your wife is coming Comelia is here?! Marcus stiffened up a bit, turning around to see Cornelia approaching. “President Hartley, I’m gonna bounce!” Ayden vanished into the night, leaving Marcus standing alone in the wind. Marcus felt a bit flustered, yet kept his cool, “What brings you down here?”
• Comelia asked directly, “How much did you pay Diviner Damian to say those things?” Knowing Cornelia’s sharp wit, Marcus knew there was no fooling her, so he didn’t hold back, “I only dropped a few grand.” Cornelia’s face darkened upon hearing this. She was upset about him splashing the cash. Marcus thought she was angry about him bribing Diviner Damian without her consent, so he quickly pulled out his phone and showed her a video, “Take a look at this footage, it’s the proof of Prophet Peter colluding with Robison.” Cornelia didn’t even glance at the video, just stared at him. Marcus shoved the video in her face, “The slanderous remarks Prophet Peter made against me were all orchestrated by Robison. I did consult Diviner Damian, and he assured me that this wouldn’t affect Granny Rebecca, which is why I had him sweet talk a bit.” Cornelia gave him a glare. “You think I don’t know Prophet Peter’s up to no good? You think I don’t know you’ve got your stuff together?
• I followed Diviner Damian downstairs because I sensed something off about him, and sure enough, you bribed him. Granny Luisa and the others were just too worried about my grandmother’s funeral to question him, otherwise who’s Diviner Damian gonna fool?” Marcus was speechless. Cornelia continued. “In the future, don’t be so generous when bribing people. Your money doesn’t grow on trees, and you need to cut corners where you can.” So she was upset about him being a spendthrift! Marcus breathed a sigh of relief, “I’ll try to spend less in the future.” He was wealthy, with more money than he knew what to do with. The few thousand dollars was really just a drop in the bucket for him. Cornelia realized it wasn’t fair to hold him to her spending standards, “I’m not saying you shouldn’t spend money. Sometimes, you still need to spend money when it’s necessary.” Marcus replied, “I got it” Cornelia warned, “Be careful later. Don’t let Granny Luisa find out you had Diviner Damian butter her up, or else she’ll worry.” Marcus nodded, “Understood.” Cornelia suggested, ‘Let’s go back upstairs.” Marcus squeezed Cornelia’s hand, “Are you still mad at me?”
