Typhoon hit Riverton this year, and the wind tonight was a bit gnarly. As Cornelia stepped out of the hospital, the cold wind hit her in the face, giving her a good shiver and jolted her awake.
Jeremy was Marcus!
Marcus was Jeremy!
This was an undeniable fact!
This meant that her boss, a billionaire, the man every woman dreamed of marrying, the world's richest man, Marcus, had suddenly become her hubby.
Just as Abigail had said, being Marcus's wife was a golden ticket for many women.
Cornelia never thought she would have any contact with Marcus outside of work, but this golden opportunity that everyone dreamed of just fell into her lap.
In theory, she should be over the moon, but in reality, she was not happy at all, but felt a kind of suffocating feeling that she couldn't put into words.
Cornelia had seen many marriages go through the wringer, she knew marriage was not just about two people, but also about two families.
The old society emphasized marriage between families of equal status , and today's society was no different.
In a marriage, if the gap between two people - be it in knowledge, wealth, status, or power - was too great, the marriage would rarely last.
Tonight, when she asked him if he would cheat, he even had the nerve to lie without blinking an eye, telling her he wouldn't.
He even said the most important thing between a husband and wife was honesty and truth.
Could she trust him?
She wanted to believe Jeremy, and was willing to trust the Jeremy who had made promises to her, but now Jeremy was not just Jeremy. His true identity was Marcus.
He was the big shot that everyone wanted to get close to but couldn't. He was also a man who had already cheated...
