Chapter 453 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• Compared to the two of them freaking out, Cornelia was calm as a cucumber. “Im not about to sacrifice my freedom for some jerk. Can you guys get in touch with the person in charge of the big screen at Central Plaza? If we can, I want this video to play on a loop for twenty–four hours. I want everyone in Rosenberg to know that I didn’t seduce someone else’s husband.” At that, Abigail nearly lost her voice “Cornelia, have you lost your mind? Do you realize that this will just invite more gossip?” Cornelia scoffed. Tm aware But I’m not scared I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m the victim here. Why should I live in shame?” Seeing her stubbornness, Abigail turned to Marcus for help. “President Hartley, can you talk some sense into her? This is no laughing matter” Marcus‘ eyes were glued to Cornelia, his gaze never leaving her for a second. He saw her determination. He knew he couldn’t change her mind, so he decided to support her instead. “Cornelia, if you’re sure about this, I’ll have Dylan take care of it. He’ll probably find the person faster than you two running around like headless chickens.” Abigail was frantic.
• “President Hartley, instead of stopping Cornelia from doing something reckless, you’re joining her in this madness?” Marcus replied, “This isn’t something shameful, nor should it be a stain on Cornella’s life. This incident has had a big impact on her. If we don’t expose the truth, it could continue to affect her in the future. To completely eliminate the impact of this incident on her, we need to lay bare the truth and let everyone know she’s the victim. She never did those disgraceful things.” Zack also objected. “Do you really think those who slandered Comelia don’t know she’s the victim?” Zack looked around at everyone and continued, “I think they’re well aware that Cornelia didn’t do those disgraceful things. But they’d rather believe she did. In their minds, Cornelia is a girl, and a pretty one at that. That’s her original sin.” Abigail agreed with Zack. “Cornelia, President Hartley, we’re in Rosenberg, not Riverton. People here are much more conservative.
• If this video goes public, at least half the people who watch it will find fault with Cornelia, the victim. They might even think that Cornelia must have done something to mislead Orlando, which is why he drugged her. Why didn’t he drug other girls otherwise?” Cornelia had seen many similar incidents in the news. That was why she felt the need to stand up and help other girls who, like her, were harmed and blamed. “Abigail, Zack, I know what I might be up against. But please trust me, I can handle the pressure.” If Cornelia chose to stay silent, and so did other victims, it would only encourage the perpetrators. If she stood up bravely, it might inspire other victims to do the same. Then, the criminals might start to fear, which would surely reduce such incidents. Abigail and Zack knew Cornelia well.
