Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 675

Who would believe that a mosquito bite could leave such a huge mark? No one dared to question it, though.

But noticing the strange look in both Marcus and Cornelia's eyes, they decided that there must be some secret between the President and his assistant.

......

The elevator quickly arrived at the floor where the President's office was located. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Cornelia immediately contacted Dr. Lester, "Dr. Lester, are you there yet?"

Dr. Lester replied, "Cornelia, I'm really sorry, but I might be a bit late."

Cornelia heard some noise on Dr. Lester's end, "What's going on?"

Dr. Lester replied, "After receiving your message, I packed up and headed straight to the Hartley Group's headquarters. I should have been there by now. But on the way, my car's brakes suddenly failed and I hit the car in front of me. I'm dealing with the accident right now."

Cornelia sensed something, "Your brakes failed?"

Dr. Lester replied, "Yes, I just had them serviced last month. This shop is really unreliable."

Dr. Lester's answer confirmed Cornelia's suspicion, "Dr. Lester, President Hartley can wait, just be careful. Where are you now? I'll send someone to find you."

Dr. Lester replied, "Don't worry, I can handle this little problem."

Cornelia said, "Okay, just be safe."

The elevator malfunction, Dr. Lester's brake failure, these seemingly coincidental events definitely had issues behind them.

Marcus laughed, "Silly girl, they have never been a match for me."

Other than the Reese family, Cornelia had a vague idea who it could be but she wasn't sure, "President Hartley, I suspect our opponent knows you and the people around you very well. It must be someone you're familiar with. Dr. Lester's brakes failed on his way to the company, I think that was also deliberate."

Marcus knew exactly who the opponent was, but he didn't want Cornelia to worry too much, "It doesn't matter who the opponent is. All you need to know is that no one dares to hurt you, you're safe."

Hearing this, Cornelia was furious, "Do you think I care who the opponent is only because I'm worried for myself? Yes, I admit I'm a scaredy-cat, I do get scared. But what I'm more worried about is something happening to you."

He had no idea how worried she was when he was having trouble breathing in the elevator. She was terrified that something would happen to him, that he would leave her just like her father did.

Marcus said, "Nothing's gonna happen to me, don't worry."
