Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1065

Marcus was silent, just staring at Ben, giving him the chills.

"President Hartley." Ben said, "If you have something to say to me, just spit it out."

It felt like ages before Marcus slowly said, "From now on, important company documents can't be seen by Cornelia."

"What? President Hartley, what are you talking about?" Ben felt like he misheard, awkwardly rubbing his ear, "President Hartley, I must have heard wrong. Cornelia is not only your secretary but also your wife. Don't you trust her?"

A flood of thoughts rushed through Ben's mind. Marcus had always trusted Cornelia, even when she first started working for him, he never kept important documents from her. Today, he specifically asked Cornelia to leave and told him not to let her see confidential company files. This was a clear sign of distrust towards Cornelia.

Or maybe it was not distrust, but because Cornelia was now President Hartley's wife, and half of his earnings should belong to Cornelia.

The relationship between husband and wife was like a roller coaster. One day he was on good terms, the next day he was at each other's throats. Maybe Marcus was playing it safe, if things went south with Cornelia, she couldn't take his assets.

Having thought about it, Ben felt this was the most plausible explanation. But then, Marcus said, "I've never distrusted her."

Taken aback by Marcus' words, Ben asked, "Then why can't she handle the company's confidential files in the future?"

Marcus gave Ben a look, then turned around and left. That look filled Ben with doubt, but he dared not ask any more questions.

......

Today's meeting was mainly about The Hartley Group investing in a project in a remote area in the West Region.

The project site was not only remote but also lacked any worth-while natural scenery. However, many impoverished families still lived there and many of whom had never left their mountainous homes to see the outside world.

Simply because the roads to the outside world were not accessible. If they wanted to go to town, they had to walk a long path.
