Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 640

Cornelia said, "Don't sweat it, I'm not the type to fall for tricks easily. You and Abby can go check out some renovation companies, and I'll get back to you tonight."

Zack expressed his worry, "No way, I can't have you take that risk. Abby and I can borrow some more money from our parents for the renovation."

Cornelia replied, "Your parents need to save some too. Stop borrowing from them already. Even if I can't squeeze a dime out of Clair, I still got the dough Jeremy stashed away for me. I can use that for now and pay him back later."

Zack said, "Now that we know Jeremy is Marcus and he's loaded, we can't just spend his money like it grows on trees. I don't want you to feel awkward in front of him later."

Cornelia responded, "Relax, I got this." Cornelia hadn't thought about spending Jeremy's money.

After hanging up, she took out her personal cell and was about to ask Natalia for Clair's contac, but then figured Natalia's phone might have been confiscated. If she messaged Natalia, it could cause her trouble, so she dropped the idea.

She then thought for a while and dialed Cameron's number, but it was busy after several attempts.

Oh right, The Reese Group's stock price hit a slump right from the get-go, his family must be in a real pickle right now.

Cameron being the president in name, it was only natural for his phone to be blowing up. With the Reese family in chaos, they probably wouldn't have time to bother with Natalia.

Cornelia immediately dialed Natalia's cell, and it was Clair who answered, "Ms. Stewart, how many times have I told you not to disturb my daughter? Why are you such a pain in the ass?"

It was that post that revealed her wearing fake jewelry, causing her great embarrassment, which led to Granger forbidding her to go out.

So it was all Cornelia's doing! Why didn't she get rid of her sooner!

Cornelia said, "Mrs. Reese, you have to understand, I didn't stir up trouble. I just reported what happened last night. And I will report the truth about the vandalism, I may not have solid evidence, but I can count on public opinion."

With Marcus' help, Cornelia indeed could use public opinion to her advantage. The Reese family was in a tight spot and couldn't afford any more hits.

Clair understood this, her voice almost hoarse from fear, "You cunning witch, don't count your chickens before they hatch. Just because Marcus is protecting you now, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Can he do it for a lifetime? You can keep him interested with your youth and charm for now, but can you do it forever? Knowing he already has a wife, you still went to his bed, you're that eager to be his bedmate, huh?"
