Marcus asked, "Anything else?"
Cornelia looked baffled, "What else?"
Not getting the answer he wanted, Marcus went silent for a bit, " Nothing."
Cornelia: "..."
Her boss seemed really off today.
She turned back around and obediently sat in the passenger seat. About half an hour later, the car drove into the villa area.
The nearby villa area was close to the city and had a sea view. Celestial Chateau was the most luxurious part of the area, taking up a vast amount of land.
After entering the villa area, they drove through a few kilometers of tree-lined roads before entering the Celestial Chateau area.
First, they saw the gardens, and further in, there were several small buildings.
The outermost one was for the servants to live in, while the others were for hosting family and guests. The small building where the owner lives is located at the highest position in the Celestial Chateau area.
Every room's balcony in the main house had a sea view, and you could even see your own golf course.
In short; In Cornelia's eyes, this was the residence of a mega-rich person!
After the driver parked the car, Cornelia hurriedly got out the car to open the door for Marcus, but this time Marcus got out of the car before her.
He glanced at her, "Let's go."
Normally, he would walk ahead with Cornelia following behind him. However, today he deliberately slowed his pace to walk alongside her.
But Cornelia was used to following behind him. If he slowed down, she'd walk even slower, making sure not to walk side by side with him.
Seeing this, Marcus sped up, and Cornelia followed closely.
Dr. Dawson sat down next to Cornelia, took her pulse, and asked with a smile, "When was your last period? Did you fail to take contraception and accidentally get pregnant? Did you take any hormonal drugs during that time?"
Patricia got excited upon hearing this, "Ms. Stewart, are you pregnant? ... Congratulations!"
Cornelia asked, "Dr. Dawson, who said I'm pregnant?"
Dr. Dawson: "You're not?"
Dr. Dawson was Marcus's friend, and Marcus was at Hannah's party last night, so the one who loves to gossip was Marcus.
He, a grown man, actually believed the rumors and spread unverified information, tarnishing her reputation.
If this news reached her nominal husband, and he mistakenly believed the rumors, she would be at a huge loss if he demanded compensation for his mental distress.
Cornelia rarely revealed her true emotions in front of strangers, but this time she was genuinely angry, "No! We haven't reached that stage yet. Where would the child come from?"
