Chapter 690
Comelia asked, “Marcus, where are your grandmas staying now? Give me the address, and I’ll drive there right
away.”
Marcus replied, “You’re not driving today.”
Comelia said, “Then I’ll call a cab.”
Marcus asked, “What’s wrong with my car?”
Cornelia, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched her head, “I don’t want others to see.”
Marcus retorted, “Haven’t you been in my car before?”

felt a bit guilty and felt that everyone was giving her strange looks.
However, Marcus didn’t give her a chance to back down. He reached out his long arm and picked her up.
Suddenly lifted off the ground, Cornelia let out a scream and instinctively clung to his neck; fearful of falling.
Marcus chuckled, carrying her towards the CEO’s private elevator.
Knowing that he was holding her securely, Cornelia relaxed. She struggled a bit, “Marcus, put me down, I can walk.
If our coworkers are still here and they see us like this, how am I supposed to face them? Can I still work here?”
Her voice was completely different; it sounded so soft, so sweet. Upon hearing this, Marcus felt a rush of warmth,
“If they see, so be it. I’m here, and you have nothing to fear.”
Cornelia lightly tapped his chest with her finger, “You’re not scared, but I am!”
Her unintentional tap made Marcus grunt. He said in a low voice, “Until you fully accept me, you better not move,
or else.”
Their conversation faded away in the elevator, and Yolanda emerged from the shadows, a video freshly recorded
on her phone.
Yolanda hadn’t expected to record anything, but she had.
She stared at the video, listening to Cornelia’s sweet voice that was so different from her professional tone at work.
She was watching as Cornelia clung to Marcus’s neck, so unreservedly affectionate.
Yolanda’s face twisted. Turning off the video, she realized she had scratched her palm with her fingemails.
Marcus drove Cornelia to the old Hartley family mansion.

Since Granny Luisa moved to Southern Summer Garden, no one had lived in the Hartley family mansion. Although
no one lived there, it was cleaned and maintained daily. The house was still very clean.
This was Cornelia’s first visit to the Hartley family mansion, and she was visiting as the Hartley family’s daughter–in–
law.
The Hartley family mansion was located in Riverton’s oldest wealthy district, where there were no new houses for
sale, no matter how much money people had.
The residents of this villa district were all very wealthy. There were absolutely no nouveau riche without manners,
the environment was great and the whole villa district was like a park.
The car drove along the winding road shaded by green trees, finally stopping in front of the gate of the Hartley
family mansion.
Before Cornelia could get out of the car, she saw two rows of people in the yard, each holding a red banner that
read, “Welcome home, Mrs. Hartley!”
