SWNOVELS Chapter 47
Chapter 47
Cornelia didnt wanna play dumb.
She had no family in Riverton, while Natalia had the backing of the Reese family, one of Riverton’s four major families,
If Natalia wanted to hurt her, it would be as easy as killing an ant
Past experiences taught her that being flexible was often the key to protecting herself better
Cornelia’s straightforwardness took Natalia by surprise.

She hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and whispered, “Ms. Stewart, you sure know yourself well. As long as you don’t mess with my business, I won’t give you any trouble”
Natalia acted sweet and innocent in front of Marcus but showed her true colors as soon as he left.
Cornelia was glad her judgment was on point and didn’t fall for this seemingly sweet but dark hearted girl ‘Knowing myself is my biggest strength”
After getting a satisfactory answer, Natalia gave Cornelia a disdainful look and left with Briana
Cornelia didn’t quite understand girls like Natala Was it worth it sacrificing yourself for a man who doesn’t love you?
“Seems like you didn’t remember a single word I said ”
Marcus voice suddenly came from behind her, startling Cornelia. She turned around to see his deep gaze.
She was very focused at work, and being suddenly dismissed like that left a bad taste in her mouth. President Hartley, if there’s anything I’m not doing well at work, please point it out directly I’ll do my best to satisfy you.”
Marcus raised an eyebrow, “Did I say you’re not doing your job well?”
Cornelia asked, “Then what do you mean?”
Marcus said, “Let’s eat first.”
Cornelia had no choice but to follow him to the restaurant.
At the dining table,
Briana and Natalia were chatting non–stop
Briana said, “My brother has always been so cold to you. I don’t know why you like him.”
Natalia replied, “Does liking someone need a reason? I’ve wanted to be Marcus bride since I was little. In this life, besides him, I won’t marry anyone else”
The two stopped talking and behaved as soon as they saw Marcus enter.
The dining table was huge, and everyone ate their meals separately.
Marcus sat at one end of the table. Cornelia consciously chose the furthest spot from him and silently ate her food.
Cornelia had eaten a lot in the morning, so she wasn’t too hungry. She finished eating when she saw Marcus hadn’t touched his meal yet.
He lit a cigarette and looked coldly at Natalia, “You honestly think you can marry me just because you want to be my bride? If you don’t want to embarrass the Reese family, you better give up on those unrealistic thoughts.”
“Marcus, I’m sorry… Natalia bit her lip, tears filling her eyes again, I know it’s because that woman betrayed you. That’s why you want a divorce. My feelings for you might make others think you’re divorcing because of me. I shouldn’t have expressed my feelings at this time, but I can’t help but love you so much that I want the whole world to know. You don’t have to like me, but please don’t hurt my sincerity, okay?”
That was too dramatic, but a
lot of men just happened to like girls like this.
However, Natalia’s act didn’t move Marcus, ‘Don’t play this game with me. You think you’re qualified just because of a divorce?”
