“Do you love your husband that much? Do you even believe yourself when you say that?” Courtney’s grin grew wider but also more suspicious “Last Friday night, you signed the divorce papers and then spent the night at Marc’s place. On Saturday you two went to a friend’s party and had a romantic night Oh, you love your husband, don’t you?”
Cornelia’s heart skipped a beat at these words. Have you been spying on me?”
Courtney smiled. “Not just spying on you I know everything about you, including how you seduced your neighbor’s husband in your sophomore year
Courtney said these cruel words in a casual tone. Each one was bike a sharp blade stabbing the freshly healed wounds of Cornelia’s heart, ripping them open and making them bleed again. Cornelia clenched her fists, trying to bear the suffocating pain in her heart. Mrs Kamp, what do you want?”
Courtney’s smile remained. “Resign immediately, leave Marc, leave Riverton, and never return”
“Sorry to disappoint you, but I won’t resign, and I wont leave Riverton!” Cornelia said firmly.
Courtney scoffed “You’re not ugly, but plenty of girls are prettier than you Are you sure you can keep Marc’s heart?”
Cornelia replied, ‘Keeping his heart isn’t my job”
Courtney got up, circled Cornelia, and looked her up and down. 111 give you two choices now. One is to leave Riverton right away. The other is to leave in disgrace later”
Seeing Cornelia’s face turn pale for a moment, Courtney smirked “Cornelia, you’re a smart girl, you know how to choose.”
The woman dressed exquisitely, and her every move exuded authority. It seemed as if she could crush the insignificant Cornelia with just a flick of her finger.
Cornelia knew that her dignity and life meant nothing in the face of such power
She hadn’t done anything wrong, nor had she harmed anyone. Why were people still targeting her, even wanting her out of Riverton?
This time, Cornelia didnt want to back down. She had to face the storm bravely, for she had nowhere else to go.
Seeing Cornelia’s eyes change from despair to determination, Courtney stabbed at her wounds again. “You should remember how you left Rosenberg back then.”
Cornelia, indeed, never forgot. It reminded her never to compromise again. I’ve already said I won’t resign, and I wont leave Riverton, Mrs. Kamp, if you want to hurt me, go ahead. I’ll fight
you to the end!”
With that, Cornelia turned to leave, but a burly man blocked her after only two steps.
Cornelia turned her head and looked coldly at Courtney ‘Mrs. Kamp, your family has great power, but does Mr. Hartley know about this? Will he accept that you are hurting the people around him? I’m just an assistant, but you should know that hurting me is the same as offending Mr. Hartley!” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“You overestimate yourself. Do you think my son would turn against me because of a little assistant like you?” Courtney’s tone didn’t change, but Cornelia noticed a subtle shift in her eyes.
