"Marcus, no need."
Hannah handed a glass of wine to Cornelia and looked her up and down, "Cornelia, you're so pretty and in such great shape, I bet, just change into a fancy dress and you'll definitely be the star tonight."
Marcus glanced at Cornelia. That's why he didn't prepare a dress for her tonight. She's his wife, he hadn't even seen her killer figure, why let others see.
Cornelia chuckled, "You're buttering me up. How could I possibly compete with you and Rosie?"
Hannah responded, "Being too modest is just another form of arrogance."
"Who's being arrogant?" Rosie, who came with Lucas, chimed in, "Cornelia, don't tell me you're trying to keep your body a secret from every man but your husband?"
"Nope." Her husband Jeremy, she thought, just like her, didn't remember what she looked like, so he wouldn't care if others saw her figure.
Hearing this, Lucas and Oscar looked at Marcus at the same time, they thought this young man was low-key but actually quite thoughtful.
They should learn from Marcus in the future, they should never let their wives be the center of attention.
The mere thought of all those eyes on Rosie still filled Lucas with a strong desire to harm someone.
Zavier approached, holding his wine glass, wearing a displeased expression. "You three are all here. Why didn't you call me?" he asked.
Hannah replied sternly, "We're already paired up. We didn't want to make Mr. Rivera feel uncomfortable, so we didn't think to call you."
Steven chimed in, laughing. "Zavier, are you giving up on your wife? No plans to win her back?"
Cornelia agreed, "Indeed, President Hartley is so devoted to his wife, never even glancing at other women."
Hannah, "Cornelia, how are things with your husband?"
Cornelia, "We're good. It's just that he returned to Riverton from a business trip today, and I came to Harbor City, so we couldn't see each other."
Hannah suggested, "If you miss him that much, fly back to see him after the auction ends, then come back to Harbor City early in the morning."
Cornelia thought it was a good opportunity to see Jeremy, but Jeremy hadn't messaged her today, she wasn't sure if he was back in Riverton yet.
If she flew back only to find out he wasn't there, the money for the ticket would be wasted.
