Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 547

"Ugh..."

Cornelia was clutching her chest with one hand while trying to push Marcus away with the other. but he stood firm like a mountain, unyielding to her efforts.

In desperation, Cornelia even resorted to using her feet. "I told you to leave, don't touch me!"

Marcus grabbed her tightly, his handsome face filled with a serious expression. "Cornelia, stop struggling! What happened? Tell me!"

Maybe his aura was too intimidating, or maybe because she'd been working under him for so long that she was used to obeying him.

He told her to stop moving, and she really did, obediently laying on the bed like a lamb waiting for slaughter.

She couldn't break free from his control no matter how hard she tried. Now, even her thoughts were under his control. For a moment, Cornelia felt like a puppet in his hands, he could manipulate her as he liked. As long as he didn't let go, she couldn't escape.

This thought made Cornelia's emotions completely break down. "I told you to let me go, can't you hear me? Who the hell are you? What do you want?"

"Okay, I'll let you go. But you promise me, stay still, let's talk, okay?" Cornelia's reaction was abnormal, forcing Marcus to step back.

He had to find out why Cornelia was reacting so desperately, so he could respond appropriately and calm her down.

Cornelia didn't listen to him. Once she got her freedom, she slid off the bed from the other side.

In this moment, she had lost all reason and blurted out, "You're nobody to me, why should I talk to you? You're Marcus, the CEO of the Hartley Group, my superior. You're not my husband, my husband is Jeremy. It can only be Jeremy. I will always only be an employee to Marcus..."

These words were like needles stabbing into Marcus's heart, the pain spreading throughout his body.

Marcus couldn't tolerate anyone treating Cornelia this way. Even in his semi-conscious state, his words still carried overwhelming authority. "Please leave!"

Dr. Dawson understood Marcus's 'leave' not only meant leaving the room, but also leaving his life. He wouldn't allow her to stay by his side anymore.

She couldn't accept this reality. "Marcus, I've been with you for over 20 years. I've watched you grow up... Now you want me to leave for a woman you've only known for a year?"

Marcus glanced at her with a cold and terrifying gaze behind his glasses. "You've been by my side for over 20 years, yet you still don't understand your place. Why should I keep you around? Ayden!"

Ayden followed obediently, without saying a word. He grabbed Dr. Dawson and started walking towards the exit.

Dr. Dawson felt desperate, and shouted back at Marcus as she was being dragged away, "Marcus, I can accept you telling me to leave, but you can't let Cornelia stay by your side, she will get you killed for sure..."
