Chapter 69
Marcus took a drag of his cigarette, his fingers hesitating for a moment. The cigarette burned slowly,
inching towards his fingertips, but he didn’t seem to feel the pain
He knew full well that Cornelia didn’t belong to him. After mistakenly taking an aphrodisiac and passing
out for a day and night, he didn’t even have the right to stay by her bedside and take care of her. He
could only get updates on her condition through the doctor
Dr. Dawson watched from the side, feeling a sudden pang in her heart. This was probably what they
called ‘meeting the right person at the wrong time
When Cornelia said she wanted to go home all he had to do was say one wond to make her stay But
he didn’t
Marcus had always been the type to get what he wanted, by hook or by crook. But when it came to
Cornelia, he had been holding back.

down, and your throat isn’t getting better yet. You can’t smoke anymore” Marcus continued to smoke,
calming his emotions before saying slowly, “Take me to Southern Peak.”
Cornelia didn’t dare tell Zack and Abigail about what happened the night before, worried that they
would be concerned for her.
Because of some exceptionally good news today, the two of them didn’t notice Cornelia’s physical
condition.
Zack drove, while Abigail excitedly said, ‘Nelly, the copyright fees are in! Let’s go house hunting this
weekend.”
This was the best news Cornelia had heard in days, and it cleared the gloom from her heart, ‘My bass
is busy these next two weeks Well go after that”
“Alright,” Abigail took out some property brochures and picked one. “We used to really like this lakeside
community, but we couldn’t afford it. Now that we have money, how about we buy a place there?”
The lakeside community was an upgraded residential area with complete amenities, good greenery,
and a lake view, but the price was indeed high.
However, with the copyright fees in hand, plus ther savings, they could afford a 50% down payment.
The remaining 50% could be paid off with a mortgage over thirty years. With their current income, it
should be easy
Cornelia nodded, “Okay. Once we have our own place, I bring grandma to Riverton to retire. The
winters here aren’t cold, and it’s more suitable for the elderly.”
Zack and Abigail agreed. If their parents were willing, they could also move here.
For the next two or three weeks, Cornelia was busy traveling to several cities with Marcus.
The day they returned to Riverton, Marcus told Cornelia, “I have some personal matters to take care of
tomorrow. You two have been running around with me for so long, take a few days off and come back
to work on Monday”
Upon hearing this, Cornelia and Ben were ecstatic, “Great!”

Abigail was in charge of studio management, operations belonged to Zack, and Cornelia took care of
content creation. The three of them worked together, each doing their job well. Compared to the other
two, Cornelia spent less time at the studio, usually communicating with her colleagues in the content
team through chat software,
Seeing Cornelia suddenly appear in the office, Abigail wanted her to go back and rest, “You finally have
a chance to rest, why not go home and relax instead of coming to the studio?”
Cornelia playfully hugged her and said, “I get to rest for several days this time.”
Abigail said “Your boss finally realized how hard you work?”
Cornelia poked her forehead and said, “My President Hartley is great, he doesn’t bully me. Don’t be so
prejudiced against him.”
Abigad laughed. “My President Hartley, huh? What a cheesy title! Tell me, what have you two been up
to these past three weeks?”
