Chapter 134
He didn’t even bother to ask her or give her a chance to explain, just assumed she was unfaithful With
no basic trust between them. Cornelia felt there was no need for their marriage to continue
Before waiting for Jeremy’s reply, Cornelia texted back “Jeremy, thanks for telling me the truth! Actually,
this mess isn’t just your fault, I’m to blame too. Marriage ain’t a game, but we both messed up and
treated it like one Let’s just put an end to this mistake”
After sending the message. Cornelia put down her phone and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Her mind drifted back to that rainy night years ago, remembering the cold and emotionless voice of that
man “Cornelia, I know everything you’ve done. Our family can’t take this shame if we ever meet again,
just pretend you don’t know me!

What did these people take her for?
Someone they could toss away at will?
They’d throw her away like trash when they thought she was dirty, and pick her back up for fun when
they thought she was clean again.
All these years, she had worked hard to become independent, to live a good life without relying on a
man
No one could hold her hostage with their so–called morals anymore,
Just as Marcus said, she hadn’t done anything wrong
Meanwhile, after reading Cornelia’s message, Marcus smoked one cigarette after another.
From the day he found out Cornelia was his wife, he knew she wouldn’t easily forgive Jeremy.
Now that his prediction had come true, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.
This was the first time he wanted to protect a girl, but he never expected it to be in this situation.
After thinking for a while, he texted Steven Dixon: “If I remember correctly, your wife didn’t want to
marry you at first. How did you manage to make your relationship so harmonious now?” Instead of
replying to the message, Steven called “Marc, are you finally wanting to pursue your little assistant?
Congrats to the 28–year–old bachelor who’s finally catching feelings!”
Marcus neither confirmed nor denied, just said, “Answer my question.”
Steven proudly shared his secret of winning his wife over: ‘First, you gotta seal the deal in bed. Then
use your manly charm and a harmonious life to make her completely submit. My wife can’t live without
me now. It’s not easy to find a guy as great and healthy as me, especially those unreliable male celebs
in her circle.”

“What’s the rush? Are you really after your little assistant?”
“I want to make up with my wife”
“You can’t be playing both sides.”
Marcus disagreed with Steven’s accusation, “Playing both sides? When did I ever waver?”
He had always wanted to live a good life with his wife.
If not for the misunderstanding of mistaking someone else for her, maybe he would have already
brought her home instead of living separately in the same building.
Steven laughed, “You’re attracted to your assistant while trying to make up with your wife. If that’s not
wavering, what is?”
“The feelings I have for my assistant are not what you think,” Marcus explained that his appreciation for
his assistant, Cornelia, was due to her impeccable work ethic.
